Quote: 'The greatest hardcore rap album of all time' - allmusic.com Who's 2Pac' Seriously, eventhough he seems to get all the praise these days, 2Pac in my opinion doesn't come close to Biggie and this album is why. The rhyme skills on show here are about as good as it gets. This combined with Psychadelic funk beats and Puff Daddy's producing creates one of the finest rap records in history. Throughout, Big raps about growing up, death, guns and troubles in the 'hood' like most rappers do but his great story telling ability and rhyme delivery seperates him from the rest of the pack. The combination of both long and short lines piled on top of each other, in quick succession give a jumpy feel to the raps providing a greater groove to the overall structure. In areas 'Ready To Die' is quite sinister and dark sounding eg.
'Everyday Struggle 'whereas in others it's more upbeat eg. 'Juicy', either way the songs flow in nicely with each other and create a relaxed, laid back groove to the album. Biggie Smalls is my favourite rap artist of all time due to his easy flow and rhyme skills. 'Ready to Die' is the greatet rap album from the greatest ever. Need I say anymore' 1. Intro (3:24) Lot's of different sounds intertwined here.
A loud thumping heartbeat pounds over the funk classic 'Superfly' by Curtis Mayfield while a woman gives birth. It then moves into an old school hip-hop track sampling 'Good Times' by Chic. I guess this is like a three and a half minute representation of Biggie's life cut into three different sections which are marked by the songs played behind them. A cool way to start the album, can't really rate it though as it's not a song.

Things Done Changed (3:57) Kicks in with that legendary drum beat to start the album. Biggie's vocals enter and his flow lights up the song. The overall feel of the track sways towards gangsta rap with a dark mood. A great opening track with a solid groove and lyrical content(all the songs have this). Powerful way to start the album.
Highly recommended as a download. Gimme the Loot (5:04) It's hard to believe that the second rapper is Biggie playing two contradictory characters. Truly unbelievable the way he does it. A spray of lines between himself takes the style of a Beastie Boys track with one rapper! Fully demontrates why this man was such a genius. Told in the form of a story, this is endlessly entertaining and one of the greatest rap tracks of all time.
My favourite line(there are so many) would have to be - 'For the bread and butter I leave ******s in the gutter'. Machine Gun Funk (4:16) This is a really dark one, a good representation of Biggie's hardcore side. More of the same legendary rap skills with a powerful chorus chant.
Not much else to be said about it really. Just another great song on a great album. This is far from a filler track though, some rappers would kill to have a track of this caliber on their album.
Defintley gets full marks 5/5 5. Warning (3:40) The best groove on the album so far. Really psychadelic riff with a pounding drum beat set the mood. Another track in the form of a story about Biggie catching wind of people he used to know plotting to kill him.
There's a small, light hearted interlude towards the end which finally rounds off with gun fire. A really strong track. Probably deserves a five, I don't know. I'll give it four so that im not giving every track full marks.

Ready To Die (4:24) 'We gon' kill yo as s' claims Puff Daddy before the rapping commences. This is really powerful stuff. Biggie sounds deadly serious with every word that he says - 'In a sec I through the tec to your fu ckin neck, everybody hit the deck, Biggie bought to get some wreck'. Notorius is trying to prove here that he doesn't give a fuc k about anyone and will do anything he has to.
How can I fix the problem on Windows 7/8 64-bit computer? Apple ethernet usb adapter driver windows 10. When I plugged it in my Microsoft Surface Pro via usb port, the system recognize it in Device Manager but lacks of related drivers to be working. In the Internet, some archive contains drivers for the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter, but they are only developed for Windows 98 and XP OS.
