Ready To Die had better production. "Warning" is better than any beat on Illmatic. Then there's "Everyday Struggle", "Gimme The Loot", "Things Done Changed", "One More Chance", and "Juicy". IMO, Ready To Die aged better even though both sound dated.

"it's I'll when M.C.s use to be on crutty shit/ took home Ready To Die listened studied it/now they on some money shit/ successful out the blue.....
Niggas heard one more chance with females singing the chorus and went home a wrote if I ruled the world

Yeah it's not like "If I Ruled the World" was a remake of a classic Kurtis Blow song that originally had females singing the chorus or anything.

Don't agree, Memory Lane>>>>

Biggie had better verses than Jay-Z on "I Love The Dough".

Also Biggie didn't get outshined on "The What" even Meth admitted that.

Nah.............

 

[YamoleySensei]

"Ready to Die"...

 

[will grimey]

Production? Ain't even a contest, ready to die easily

pretty much...

 

[ustreet_monsta]

Illmatic;s production >>>

 

[Disciplined InSight]

Illmatic................

Seems like niggas don't read the thread says "better production" not better album songs lyrics or artist smh... Niggas who say illmatic must be stuck in the 90's cause illmatic was FARRR from wut someone put it as "timeless" the beats sound like they were from 1994 and even as of 1995 they sounded old and outdated ... His lyrics is what made that album not the production

 

[Mumo X]

This is a crazy statement songs like one more chance remix were as lyrical as either of these songs and had commercial appeal

thats the thing we differ.....I could care less bout commercial appeal, Nas is a wayyyy better emcee lyrically than biggie ever wuz.

 

[Mumo X]

its all opinions

i'd say 2nd greatest double hip hop album

All i know is that WU-TANG FOREVER is the GOAT Double CD in hiphop's history

 

[booty-gif-dot-com]

its close but Ready To Die by an edge! Preemo worked on both classics but the track he gave BIGGIE on unbelievable is just deadly. and Ez Mo bee and Chucky Thompson set it off on DIE. no diss to Illmatic. for 1994 it was great but DIE got this!

 

[Coo Coo Cal's Beanie]

ready to die
