Listening to his songs multiple times only meant discovering new elements to his music, which contributed to the addictive nature of his songs.Somebody’s Gotta Die exemplifies Biggie’s artistic temperament. This raconteur’s use of multi-syllabic rhyming schemes, whether it was for the purpose of glorifying life’s pleasures or simply to depict grim tales about street life, always kept his listeners entertained. Biggie’s lyrical creativity is an art form that needs to be praised. Despite the cost, the CD was worth every penny to me and here are the reasons as to why. (Although I no longer have the receipt to prove this statement, my brother can certainly validate my claims, especially since he encouraged the purchase). I remember spending close to $50 dollars for this 2-disc album. This was his 2nd and final studio recorded album and definitely one of my favourite hip-hop records. Released March25th, 1997, Life After Death came out a few days after Notorious B.I.Gs tragic demise.

Today marks the 16th year anniversary of Biggie’s murder.
