Today marks the twentieth anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G.’s critically acclaimed second and final studio album, “Life After Death.” This two-disc, twenty-four track masterpiece was nominated for three Grammy Awards and has been ranked by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the 500 greatest albums of all time. However, much like a classic cult film, to truly appreciate this opulent work of art you’ll need to listen to it in its entirety.
We’ve gathered twenty of the best lines from this classic double album in honor of the twenty years that’ve passed since The Notorious B.I.G.’s first posthumous album was released. From the eerie recap of Biggie’s suicide from the previous album “Ready to Die” in the opening track, to Big’s proclamation that your life is of little intrinsic value until that day somebody decides to take it, we proudly present the twenty best lines from The Notorious B.I.G.’s Life After Death:
