It is a shame that Biggie only lived for three more years after this album was released because if he would have lived longer, he could have brought more positive messages to the rap genre. This is one of the few cases where talking about criminal activity is “good” because instead of glorifying it, Biggie is condemning it through the form of self-regret. What isn’t right is when someone who has never experienced these awful circumstances raps about it simply because it is popular. One of the points I made in the first few entries of this blog was that talking about some gruesome topics like gang activity and crime was OK if it was a reflection of the artist’s life. Suicidal Thought Lyrics: Suicidal thoughts are / Suicidal thoughts are / Right in my head ahhh / Nah nah no one else would know / No one else would know / No one else would know (nah) / Nah nah no. From his gang activity to cheating on his wife to hurting his mother have culminated in such a strong feeling of guilt. “Should I die on the train track like Ramo in Beat Street”Īll of these thoughts stem from the built up regret Biggie has in his life. “I’m glad I’m dead, a worthless f**kin’ buddha head” “I swear to God I want to just slit my wrists and end this bulls**t” Throughout out the song, Biggie throws out a medley of suicidal thoughts he has had over the years: With suicidal thoughts in mind, Biggie isn’t willing to accept the love of the people around him and sees it all as a front.

However, since Biggie feels as if he has lost the purest form of love there is, there is no love for him left in the world. She don’t even love me like she did when I was younger”Ī mother’s love is like no other since you know that regardless of you do, your mother will still love you. I know my mother wish she got a f***in’ abortion “Lyin’ to my mother, even stealin’ out her purseĬrime after crime, from drugs to extortion One of the problems in Biggie’s life that he highlights is that he is a disappointment in the eyes of all the people around him. While the hope for songs about suicide is that they end with a positive message, this song is not one of the cases as it maintains the dark theme throughout. Three years before his death, Biggie released his most well known album, Ready to Die, in which he released the song “Suicidal Thoughts”. One of his bad decisions led to his tragic death in a drive-by shooting where he died at the young age of 25. As a self-proclaim “gangsta”, Biggie made many bad decisions in his young life, which quickly regretted. While Biggie was one of the biggest rappers of his time and is still considered an all time great, he had many suicidal tendencies.
