Still Brazy
The most recent album out now which I would have to call my favourite would be Still Brazy. The majority of the songs follow Yg's genuine style of early 90's rap. I find this very interesting as not many modern rappers are able to do this so it gives listeners a feel of what living a life in ghettos/dangerous neighbourhoods in LA would be like. In addition,theres a track on the song which holds some emotion, this is due to Yg being shot mid 2015 and making a song out of it called "Who Shot Me".
My favourite song on the album would have to be 'Why You Always Hatin?'. This is my favourite track as it differs from Ygs normal approach to his songs, by being more of a party song which he hadn't really done for a couple years. The fact the song differs from his traditional style tells me that he's able to switch styles of music and still be a success as we can tell from how much this song blew up.
Ready To Die
I have chosen Biggie Smalls' Ready To Die as my all time favourite. It speaks about death and just how close people living in the conditions Biggie was brought up in are close to it. Furthermore the whole album is almost a collection of stories the way Biggie Smalls' brings you through the tracks with his lyrics. My favourite track on the album is Suicidal Thoughts, this is due to the "conversation" he is having on the phone. Biggie brings the track to life by rapping in response to what we assume is his friend on the other end of the phone. In addition its almost like he's listing his sins to us through song.
