notorious big ready to die album analysis

But one of the very few weak spots in the albums comes in the form of the stand alone Me' interlude which is basically 90 seconds of sex sounds and the 40 second outro to 'Respect' where we listen to Biggie getting head, both of which I could really do without.

The other interludes are a bit of a mixed bag, the 'Warning' outro works well with the track, as does the 'One More Chance' intro, and the 'Me & My Bitch' Outro plays perfectly into 'Big Poppa'. The backing tracks reflect the different time periods in Biggie's life, and in all works really well to set up the album. The final part of the skit sees Biggie at what we assume is the current time, being released from prison as Snoop's 'Tha Shiznit' plays in the background. We then flash forward to 1987 where we hear a teenage biggie planning on robbing a train to 'Top Billin'' by Audio Two. The album opens up with a generational skit, starting with Biggie's birth to the 1972 Curtis Mayfield soundtrack to the film 'Super Fly', which dropped the same year he was born, next up, 'Rappers delight' By the Sugerhill Gang plays while we hear Biggie's parents arguing about sending Biggie to a group home because of his behaviour.
