10 Hip-Hop Albums Every New Fan Should Listen To
1. Ready To Die - The Notorious B.I.G.
The Album: In 1994 a relative unknown talent from Brooklyn released arguably one of the greatest debut albums of all time. Aided by slick production from Sean Combs, Biggie unleashed an avalanche of quips and anecdotes that managed to be both humorous and visceral.
Life stories, personal struggles and dick jokes are all delivered with one of the greatest flows in rap history. Biggie deftly raps through complicated lyrics and rhythm structures with an ease that hasn't been seen since and after even one listen its easy to hear why many hip-hop fans consider it the greatest rap album of all time.
Standout Track: Big Poppa (Honorable mentions: Juicy, Suicidal Thoughts)
