Rap Treats #37: BIGGIE SMALLS - Ready To Die (Original)


This is supposed to be the version of Biggie's Ready To Die album that Biggie himself wanted to release, but due to samples not being able to be cleared this version of the album never came out. I don't buy that this is the original Ready To Die because there are some suspect songs on here (like his Unsigned Hype Source demo), but this shit is dope still. There are lots of unreleased and original versions so I'm sure at least some of this was originally meant for Ready To Die.
