In the essay accompanying the induction, author and journalist Justin Tinsley writes, \"In its true essence, the album is a response to American capitalism and just how deadly the pursuit of money could be and was for so many - in particular, young Black folks in America. Ready to Die is a response to so many moments in American history before it: the economic crisis that nearly crippled New York in the 1970s, the crack explosion of the '80s (and the unfathomable violence and destruction it brought) and Reagonomics, 'Stop-And-Frisk'-era policies that crippled Black communities… Rolling Stone dubbed the album 'the precise moment when hip-hop's golden age transitioned into its modern age, the height of New York hip-hop and the sound of the greatest rapper of all time at the absolute top of his power.'\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's lead single, \"Juicy,\" achieved gold certification upon release and peaked at No. 3 on the Hot Rap Singles chart, crossing over to reach No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100. Since its release, the platinum-certified track has garnered over 1 billion streams and was named the best hip-hop song of all time by the BBC. The second single, \"Big Poppa,\" was an even bigger success; with over 1 billion streams to date, it topped the rap and R\u0026amp;B charts and reached No. 6 on the Hot 100. It was certified platinum at the time and nominated for the GRAMMY Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. In addition, a remix of \"One More Chance\" topped the rap and R\u0026amp;B charts and peaked at No. 2 on the Hot 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iconic record has been certified 6x platinum and is widely regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums ever, making the Apple Music 100 Best Albums of All Time and No. 1 on Rolling Stone's The 200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracks:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThings Done Changed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGimme the Loot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachine Gun Funk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady to Die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne More Chance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eF*$K Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe What\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuicy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvery Day Struggle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMe \u0026amp; My Bitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBig Poppa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRespect\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFriend of Mine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnbelievable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuicidal Thoughts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho Shot Ya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bad Boy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53448080556371,"sku":"BAD823871.1","price":5.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/8983\/3555\/files\/big1-577101.jpg?v=1775814236","url":"https:\/\/vinylrecordcrate.com\/products\/notorious-b-i-g-ready-to-die-30th-anniversary-edition-603497823871","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
