Originally released on 13th September 1994, 'Ready to Die' is the debut studio album from hip-hop legend, The Notorious B.I.G. Upon release, the album was met with widespread critical acclaim, with Pitchfork giving it a 10/10 rating along with various other critics praising it for its brutally honest depiction of gang violence and conflict as opposed to the often-glorified portrayal in the genre and the wider media.

except NOT white vinyl as advertised so be warned if you're expecting a super rare edition
Vinyl eventually came after a botched order that went missing from The Netherlands to the UK a month later. Worth the wait however, except NOT white vinyl as advertised so be warned if you're expecting a super rare edition. Still an amazing buy, sound quality is pristine, came in the original shrink wrap.

Excellent, influential and good value.
This album is one of the all time greats. The album is consistently excellent not containing any bad songs, whilst also containing songs like "juicy" (at this price it would be worth it for juicy alone, kinda). It is probably the best hip hop debut album of all time. It created an icon: Biggie Smalls. It is simply a must have!

Great album by the greatest rapper (imo) ever
Great album by the greatest rapper (imo) ever. Although to be honest i find the first half amazing and the last few tunes kinda tail off slightly. Still a 5 star production tho with songs like 'Gimme the Loot' and 'Things done changed'.

Ready To Die
It is really one of 10 best hip-hop albums of all times. Not only hip-hop. One of the best albums in the history of music. I can't say more.
