The Notorious B.I.G. channel is the official YouTube home of The Notorious B.I.G. featuring his catalog of official music videos. The Notorious B.I.G. is widely recognized as one of the world’s most influential rappers and has sold more than 17 million albums in the U.S. alone. Before his murder in 1997, Christopher Wallace recorded two classic albums as The Notorious B.I.G. His debut Ready to Die arrived in 1994 and helped revitalize the East Coast rap scene with massive hits like “Big Poppa” and “Juicy.” Life After Death was released in March 1997 just weeks after he was shot and killed in Los Angeles. The record topped the U.S. album charts and featured the hits “Hypnotize” and “Mo Money Mo Problems.” It remains one of the few hip-hop albums to ever achieve Diamond certification from the RIAA.

The vibe of this song is something that simply cant be recreated. This is a piece of 90's American culture. Raw, unapologetic, urban music that shifted the western culture. True Hip-Hop classic, timeless music.

Don't forget this whole album was made at age 21.

"My shit is deep, deeper than my grave, G" I felt it!

30 years later and this album has not aged, ready to die is revolutionary

[srzar]

I was poor as a teen, but i studied and now got it made. Sometimes i get tired with all the BS at work and listen to this to remind myself i was ready to die when i was poor. It motivates me to keep fighting.

The last verse on this is insane, “your face, my feet, they meet, we stompin, I’m rippin emcees from Tallahassee to Compton”

[HugoFlockaCien]

Unfortunately he was too early ready to die ...

RIP Biggie, Always in our hearts

[Gotti.souls]

He was not fat !!!

He just was full of lyrics

[boomn]

This beat is untouchable. Could listen to it all day long.

Most underrated song ever! This flow and this voice... can not be recreated - just impossible...

[misstabithasnails]

There will quite literally never be a rapper to replace this man. Can’t be done. He was incredible.

[illanoyzehit]

This is his greatest song ever. The lyrics, the production, his flow. It's like the most beautiful sounds you've heard with a biggie smalls flavor.

[ErikB]

I can't get over how TALENTED this man was at the age of just 21 years old!!!

[esotericguru]

I think we all feel suicidal at times. Biggie was just the first to put it out there. This is a legendary track and is one of his realist.

[CB-pdxv]

This is probably my favorite biggie song... the delivery was just flat out ridiculous on each bar

[moneyonfleek]

this song and album got me thru my depression ready to die is a dark masterpiece

[THERSC]

Biggie's lyricism is dark but it is a movie and shows how black folks (whether you are in the hood, in the suburbs, or rich) feels like a pressure cooker. Biggie is one of the GOATS of hip hop.

[Von.NorthEnd]

The whole album is timeless but I don’t think people really know how hard this track is. The beat, the flow, the lyrics…one of the best rap songs of all time and I’m not even cappin 🙏🏿

[RicArmstrong]

I don't give a fuck about what anyone says. There's no modern rap or 'hip hop' that even comes close to this today.
