THE NOTORIOUS BIG レコード& CD

Review: ***B-STOCK: Creasing to corner of outer sleeve but otherwise in excellent condition***


Decades after he died, pioneering rapper Christopher Wallace aka Biggie aka B.I.G remains a hip hop giant, not least for us here at Juno HQ. He had the flow, the character, the lyrics, and showed all of it on his masterclass album The Notorious BIG. It is now getting a well deserved reissue on double vinyl, with all the original tunes included. There are uber-hits like the ubiquitous 'Juicy', tracks that make astute social commentaries about the black experience such as 'Everyday Struggle' and then some darn right killer grooves like 'One More Chance' and 'Big Poppa.' RIP to the greatest to ever do it.

Review: Late, great and pioneering New York rapper Notorious BIG will always be one of our favourites. Christopher George Latore Wallace, who was shot in March 1997 aged just 25, was known for his loose flow and easy vocal style, characterful storytelling and autobiographical lyrics. He sold over 17 million units in the United States and had many great singles which ensure to this day. This album, Now Playing via Elektra, brings totters some of the most well-known tunes such as 'Juicy', 'Big Poppa' and 'Sky's the Limit,' which will never grow old and are always good to have together in one place.
