I've always loved Life After Death, it has some amazing tracks such as "You're Nobody ('Til Somebody Kills You)", "Miss U", "I Got A Story To Tell", "What's Beef" and "Kick In The Door". What I don't like about it is that it has a more commercial feel to it. But Biggie's flow is just as amazing as in Ready To Die, I love in "Last Day" when he says:

"Who the fuck wanna squeeze?
My Desert Ease make MC's freeze
You wakin up in cold sweats, they just dreams
You still apoligizin, analyzin, my size and your size and
realizin, a fist fight would be asinine
You just pop wines I must pop nines"

Ready To Die though is a classic with songs such as "Unbelievable", "Everyday Struggle", "Machine Gun Funk", "Gimme The Loot" and "Ready To Die". They're all great tracks with some fine production. This album isn't as versatile as Life After Death since it's mostly raw, hardcore sort of tracks but they prove to be Biggie at his best. "The What" with Method Man is such a great collaboration. What Ready To Die did achieve though was an album mainly hardcore yet with some commercial appeal to it for all listeners.

Always prefered Life After Death. One of my favourite rap albums. To make a double CD album and keep up the quality throughour is pretty hard and bar, maybe one or two tracks, it's just classic material.

Whats Beef, Miss U, Your Nobody, Ni*gas Bleed, Kick In The Door.

Plus Notorious Thugs is my favourite rap song ever.

As Madd Rapper says, "that Ready To Die shit, it was aigghhtt"

I used to go nuts for Ready To Die and not like Life After Death.. didn't give it a chance.. tried a few listens and didn't like.

Ready To Die, was a classic, all that all rhyming, dark street tales with an amazing delivery, dope beats, amazing flow, worth every cent spent on it.

Life After Death? I gave it a chance. Its the new and improved Ready To Die, with more tracks, more flow, more storytelling, slyest diss ever, nice hooks, club bangers, nice guests, hardcore rapping on commercial beats.. it was the real Blueprint for any rap album to come after it for quite a while. So after that, i easily conclude its my number 1 album.

Hard choice, but I'll go with Life After Death.
