THIS IS LIL WHY

The Notorious B.I.G- Ready To Die

This classic is one of those that always makes the fans wonder if Biggie knew his fate. His debut album shares the name of this single displaying both his anger and vulnerability simultaneously. This track seems like “Suicidal Thoughts” with bravado. Perhaps Biggie had the foresight to realize the power of his voice, one so cogent that it could potentially harm him. Amazing how the description of his actions, his very personal observations helped him rise to fame and possibly contributed to his untimely death. The pen is mightier than the sword- or for Smalls mightier than the glock.

“My shit is deep, deeper than my grave G / I’m ready to die and nobody can save me.”
