for the pac lovers and biggie haters

IP: 233C 41D5

ok first things first I didnt right this. I got it off two different sites. I post this for them tupac lovers that talk out of there ass abought tupacs record sales verses biggies.


In the aftermath of the tragedy, the release of the Notorious B.I.G.'s second album went ahead as planned at the end of March. The eerily titled Life After Death was a sprawling, guest-laden double-disc set that seemed designed to compete with 2Pac's All Eyez on Me in terms of ambition and epic scope. Unsurprisingly, it entered the charts at number one, selling nearly 700,000 copies in its first week of release and spending a total of four weeks on top. The first single, "Hypnotize," went platinum and hit number one on the pop chart, and its follow-up, "Mo Money Mo Problems," duplicated both feats, making the Notorious B.I.G. the first artist ever to score two posthumous number one hits. A third single, "Sky's the Limit," went gold, and Life After Death was certified ten times platinum approximately two years after its release.
Biggie ended 1995 as not only the top-selling rap artist, but also the biggest solo male act on both the pop and R&B charts.
Life After Death is the second album by East Coast rapper The Notorious B.I.G. (also known as Biggie Smalls) and was released posthumously on March 25 1997. A double album that acts as a sequel of sorts to Ready to Die, Life After Death received a great deal of critical praise, if not quite on the same level as his debut. B.I.G.'s brief career was cut short by his murder on March 9, 1997 just before the release of Life After Death.
The album featured B.I.G. s mafioso crime kingpin character living a Scarface esque lifestyle (as opposed to Ready to Die, in which Biggie rapped about life as a young street hustler) while making numerous references to theatrical crime thrillers. Featuring collaborations with 112 , Jay-Z , Lil Kim , Bone Thugs-N-Harmony , R. Kelly , The Lox , Faith Evans , Too $hort , DMC , Carl Thomas , Mase & Puff Daddy , among others, the album cemented Biggie's legacy as one of hip hop's most respected and successful Emcees, and is remembered as a classic of Mafioso rap It was certified diamond in 2000 and is 1 of 5 rap albums certified diamond. It was the highest selling rap album in history from January of 2000 until May 2006 when it was surpassed by OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.
