"Turn &"Life after death" into a 10-11 song classic *stipulations*" Mon May-21-12 03:19 PM by ABROCK33
could "life after death" had as much impact as a single disc?
I honestly think so. My knock against the lp isnt the great songs its the filler and bs songs. I honestly believe the lp would have had an even bigger impact and gained more respect amongst the purist detractors who wanted to hate it (like me) but couldnt if it didnt have any filler.
Obviously the lp went multi plat so I that means many people bought it but this is just for those who really wernt Biggie fans all like that but who have to give it up anyway.
make your own single disc that would be as universal as the 2 disc release. this means that it has to have some at least 3 marketable singles so it cant be all the "hard" songs
the stipulations are
1)Keeping the lead single "Hypnotize" 2)Keep atleast 1 of the other singles "skys he limit", "more money mo problems", 3)choose the other 2 singles 4)"Who shot ya" is eligable

without proper consideration to album sequencing, here's my "ideal" LAD. I can't do any less than what i have here...tried to keep it at 10/11, but nah. sorry OP.
1. Somebody's Got to Die 2. Sky's the limit 3. niggas bleed 4. 10 crack commandments 5. kick in the door 6. long kiss good night 7. hypnotize 8. last day * 9. story to tell* 10. you're nobody...* 11. My downfall 12. notorious thugs 13. What's beef
*these tracks I would prefer if they hadn't been redone, i.e. kept the original sample-based tracks
wouldn't add "who shot ya'" only because it's on the "ready to die" rerelease.

That would be the only song that couldve done as much damage as "Hypnotize" as the first single IMO
just the sheer audacity of making a song like that at the height of East/West beef was ballsey in itself

I thought it was a single. Was it just the b-side and another song was the single?
All I know is that in California, that song got much rotation on the the FM dial. If it wasn't an official single, it certainly got more play than the average single.. Actually, it still does get play on the radio out here.
yeah it wasnt an official single but was such a great song radio started playin ti

if it was gonna be popular *anywhere* it would be in cali
everyone loves songs where their hometown/region is getting love
personally, i think it would have made a good, happy, "summer fun" kind of song. plus it was intentionally created to speak to the tension in hip-hop between coasts
