The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready to Die (The O.G. Edition)

Considering the name of this blog, and the accompanying header at the top of the page is based on Biggie's Ready To Die album, this post is only right. It's no secret Biggie Smalls is my favorite emcee of all time, so this is a very special treat. I came across a rare copy of the ORIGINAL version of Big's Ready To Die album. This is how he wanted to release it, from start to finish. Some of the songs didn't make the album or were changed a bit due to sample clearance and other label politics.

Trust me when I tell you, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS. Scoop it up ASAP before it's gone.

Highlights include:

(a) a Primo produced "Machine Gun Funk"
(b) "Ready To Die" with the completely different, original beat
(c) "The What" with the original unheard lyrics from BIG.
(d) "Juicy" (The Pete Rock version)
(e) Five unreleased songs that didn't make the album, including "Who Shot Ya?"
(f) And so much more.
