I have this as underrated. I'm not a Biggie hater, but I've never really swooned over the guy. Between Nas, Wu, and Red, there was no shortage of dynamite emcees back then. Common, Keith Murray..
I was way more entertained with what these guys were doing. I never understood how Big was so widely accepted as the GOAT. He was on par.
As far as LAD, the second disc was practically unlistenable to me. Overpowered with cheesy Bad Boy bullshit. All Eyes >, all day.
