おすすめ旧譜アルバムVol. 15 ：The Notorious B.I.G.「Life After Death」

旧譜紹介Vol. 15です。

今回紹介するのは、NYのラッパーのThe Notorious B.I.G.による97年のアルバム「Life After Death」です。

The Notorious B.I.G.はNY出身のラッパーです。

Mary J. BligeやCraig Mackらへの客演などを経て、94年に1stアルバム「Ready to Die」をリリース。高い人気��集めますが、97年の2ndアルバムとなる本作「Life After Death」リリース直前に銃撃に遭い帰らぬ人となります。その後99年に疑似共演含む多くの客演を招いたアルバム「Born Again」、05年には完全な疑似共演作の「Duets: The Final Chapter」をリリース。また、95年には自身が所属するクルーのJunior M.A.F.I.A.でのアルバム「Conspiracy」、17年にはFaith Evansとのタッグ作「The King & I」がリリースされています。作品数はそこまで多くはありませんが、多くのラッパーに影響を与えた2Pacと並んでヒップホップを代表するアーティストです。今月16日には、20年の「ロックの殿堂」入りすることも発表されました。

太く低い声質から繰り出される重厚で安定感のあるスキルフルなラップが魅力です。音的にはNYらしいブーンバップやR&B風味、西海岸や南部など他エリアの音楽性も吸収したGなものなども柔軟にこなします。

本作は2枚組の作品で、どちらかというとNYらしい曲を中心にまとめたディスク1、他エリアの要素も取り入れたディスク2と微妙にカラーを分けた傑作に仕上がっています。G好きの方も是非。

1-3. Hypnotize

TotalのPamela Longがフックを歌うNY流Gファンク。

ピーヒャラシンセなどが入らず、ベースとドラムで聴かせる音数の少ない作りに痺れます。ラップのキレも抜群。

1-4. Kick In The Door

DJ Premierプロデュース。

隙間を活かした男気溢れるブーンバップものの曲です。そこに乗るスキルフルなラップも聴き応えたっぷり。NYらしい硬派な名曲です。

1-6. Last Day Feat. The Lox

Havoc制作のハードコアなブーンバップ。

ギターやストリングス、タイトなドラムが効いたビートが非常に良いです。Jadakissによるフックもキャッチー。

1-7. I Love The Dough Feat. Jay-Z & Angela Winbush

Easy Mo Beeが手掛けた煌びやかなR&B系の曲。

Gな匂いも漂うベースとシンセが効いたビートで、女性シンガーのAngela Winbushのフックを交えてJay-Zとマイクを回す良曲です。高音で華のあるJay-Zとの相性もばっちり。

1-8. What's Beef?

緊張感のあるストリングスをループしたブーンバップ。

派手さはない曲ですが、The Notorious B.I.G.の高いラップ力が堪能できる曲です。淡々とした中に迫力があります。

1-10. Mo Money Mo Problems Feat. Mase & Puff Daddy

全てのヴァースがクラシックな名曲。

軽快なギターを使ったビートで、Kelly Priceの歌フックを挟んでゆるい2人との絡みが楽しめます。他の2人のラップも非常に良いですが、最も良いのはやはり主役。入りから素晴らしいです。

1-12. I Got A Story To Tell

Buckwild、Chucky Thompson、Puff Daddyの共作。

寂しげなギターのループで、フックなしでラップするエモーショナルな曲です。ビートの美しさとラップの実力だけで聴かせます。

2-1. Notorious Thugs Feat. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony

ゆったりとしたGなメロウ。

The Notorious B.I.G.もボンサグに合わせた高速ラップに挑んでおり、自然に溶け込みつつも圧倒的な存在感を放っています。ボンサグの面々も強烈なヴァースを披露。

2-2. Miss U Feat. 112

Kay-Geeプロデュース。

メロウなR&B系の哀愁曲で、112の歌う軟弱なフックと主役の太いラップの対照的な絡みが楽しめます。NY流のG。

2-3. Another Feat. Lil' Kim

ブギー的なビートを使った軽快な曲。

客演のLil’ Kimがいつになくキュートかつスキルフルで、The Notorious B.I.G.に負けない素晴らしいヴァースを残しています。フックでの歌も2人ともそこまで上手くなくて味があります。

2-4. Going Back To Cali

Zapp「More Bounce to the Ounce」ネタのGファンク。

かなり西海岸マナーに寄ったビートで、変わらない安定感のあるスピットを聴かせる名曲です。時折絡んでくるトークボックスも良いです。

2-5. Ten Crack Commandments

DJ Premier制作のブーンバップ。

シンプルで頭に残る名ループで、Chuck Dの声ネタを交えてタイトなラップを聴かせる曲です。最後のスクラッチも印象的。

2-8. Sky's The Limit Feat. 112

Clark Kentが手掛けた哀愁メロウ。

エレピとギターが心地良いビートで、スムースなラップを聴かせる名曲です。フックを歌う112もばっちり。

2-9. The World Is Filled Feat. Too Short, Puff Daddy & Carl Thomas

Bad BoyらしいR&B系のメロウ曲。

Too $hortの安定感のある高音のラップが非常に良く、相性も抜群で素晴らしいです。Carl Thomasの歌も程良い力の入れ具合でセクシー。

2-12. You're Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You)

哀愁系ですが緊張感のあるどこか南部ものっぽい曲。

ソウルフルなビートの上で、ヴァースではハードに迫りフックでは��ラっとした歌を聴かせます。Puff Daddyのサポートも絶妙。

Members Johnny Gill, Ralph Tresvant, & Bobby Brown. The album was MUCH ANTICIPATED & fans were all too excited for new New Edition music. With the help of in-demand producers & songwriting, “Home Again” helped the group blend with the trending sound of R&B/Hip-Hop of the mid to late 90s, & the released singles helped usher in a new sound for the group, with much critical acclaim. The MAJOR success of the album & the reunion would earn the group major accolades, including winning the 1997 American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Group, Band or Duo, besting The Fugees & TLC: THATS HUGE! “Home Again” is a CLASSIC album, with much then-updated sounds to mesh the group within the then-trending sound of Contemporary R&B, showcases each individual member’s vocal & Hip-Hop persona perfectly, & was a reminder that the love for New Edition, is forever. Come back “home... again”✔️🔥. HAPPY 26th ANNIVERSARY “Home Again”! ✔️🙌🏼👑🎁❤️🎊🎉😍✔️👑🔌🔥🎂🎶

How Chucky Thompson helped create the sound of ’90s hip-hop

Despite mogul and marketing wizard Sean “Diddy” Combs’ bold assertion, he and his Bad Boy Records in-house production team, the Hitmen, didn’t invent the remix. They did, however, during the label’s indomitable peak in the mid- to late 1990s, popularize and glamorize the remix, as hip-hop and R&B began to supplant rock as the sound of popular music. Producer Carl “Chucky” Thompson, who died Aug.…

Faith Evans

Faith Renée Evans (born June 10, 1973) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, actress, and author. Born in Florida and raised in New Jersey, Evans relocated to Los Angeles in 1993 for a career in the music business. After working as a backing vocalist for Al B. Sure and Christopher Williams, she became the first female artist to contract with Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs' Bad Boy Entertainment recording company in 1994, for which she collaborated with several label mates such as Mary J. Blige and Carl Thomas and released three platinum-certified studio albums between 1995 and 2001, including Faith (1995), Keep the Faith (1998) and Faithfully (2001).

In 2003, she ended her relationship with the company to sign with Capitol Records. Her first album released on the label, The First Lady (2005) became her highest-charting album at the time, reaching the top of the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts, while the holiday album A Faithful Christmas, released the same year, would become her last release before the company was bought in 2007. Following a longer hiatus, Evans released her fifth album Something About Faith on the independent label Prolific/E1 Music in 2010.

Other than her recording career, Evans is mostly known as the widow of New York rapper Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, whom she married on August 4, 1994, a few weeks after meeting at a Bad Boy photo shoot. The turbulent marriage resulted in Evans' involvement in the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry, dominating the rap music news at the time, and ended with Wallace's murder in an unsolved drive-by shooting in Los Angeles on March 9, 1997. A 1997 tribute single featuring Puff Daddy and the band 112, named "I'll Be Missing You", won Evans a Grammy Award in 1998. Also an actress and writer, Evans made her screen debut in the 2000 musical drama Turn It Up by Robert Adetuyi. Her autobiography Keep the Faith: A Memoir was released by Grand Central Publishing in 2008 and won a 2009 African American Literary Award for the Best Biography/Memoir category.

Biography

1973–1994: Early life and career beginnings

Evans was born on June 10, 1973, in Lakeland, Florida to an African American mother, Helene Evans, a professional singer. Her father, Richard Swain, who was Caucasian, was a musician who left before Evans was born (Evans has said "I've heard people mumble something about him being Italian, but I don't know for sure"). A half-year later, 19-year-old Helene returned to Newark, New Jersey and left Faith with her cousin Johnnie Mae and husband Orvelt Kennedy, the foster parents of more than 100 children they raised during the time that Faith lived with them. Faith had known Johnnie Mae and Orvelt Kennedy as her grandparents. It was not until a couple of years later that Helene's career floundered and she tried to take Evans back home. Faith, however, was afraid to leave what she'd "been used to," and instead, Helene relocated next door.

Raised in a Christian home, Evans began singing at church at age two. At age four, she caught the attention of the congregation of the Emmanuel Baptist Church in Newark when she sang The 5th Dimension's song "Let the Sunshine In". While attending University High School in Newark, she sang with several jazz bands and, encouraged by Helene, entered outside pageants, festivals and contests, where her voice would be noticed and praised. After graduating from high school in 1991, Evans attended Fordham University in New York City to study marketing but left a year later to have daughter Chyna with music producer Kiyamma Griffin. In 1993, she relocated to Los Angeles, where she worked as a backup vocalist for singer Al B. Sure!, when she was noticed by musician Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs. Impressed with her, Combs contracted her as the first female artist to his Bad Boy Entertainment record label during 1994.

1994–2001: Faith, Keep The Faith, Biggie, motherhood and marriage

Newly contracted to Bad Boy Records, Evans was consulted by executive producer Combs to contribute backing vocals and writing skills to Mary J. Blige's My Life (1994) and Usher's self-titled debut album (1994) prior to starting work on her debut studio album Faith. Released on August 29, 1995 in North America, the album was a main collaboration with Bad Boy's main producers, The Hitmen, including Chucky Thompson and Combs, but it also resulted in recordings with Poke & Tone and Herb Middleton. Faith became a success based on the singles "You Used to Love Me" and "Soon as I Get Home". The album was eventually certified platinum with 1.5 million copies sold, according to RIAA.

A year before, on August 4, 1994, Evans married rapper and label mate Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, after having met him at a Bad Boy photo shoot. The couple had one child together, Christopher Jordan Wallace, born October 29, 1996, but the marriage was turbulent as Wallace reportedly had several affairs during their union, including relationships with fellow rappers Lil' Kim and Charli Baltimore. Additionally, it led to Evans' involvement in the East Coast–West Coast hip hop rivalry which dominated the rap music news at the time and ended with Wallace's murder in a yet-to-be-solved drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California in March 1997. During early 1997, after her separation from Wallace, but before his death, Evans' friend Missy Elliott introduced her to record company executive Todd Russaw. Faith began dating Russaw during her and Wallace's separation and after Wallace died, Evans became pregnant by Russaw. The couple had their first son Joshua on June 8, 1998. During the summer of 1998, Evans and Russaw were married, and on March 22, 2007, they had their second son Ryder Evan Russaw.

After Biggie's murder on March 9, 1997, Combs helped Evans produce her tribute song named "I'll Be Missing You", based on the melody of The Police's 1983 single "Every Breath You Take". The song, which featured Combs, Evans, and all-male group 112, became a worldwide number-one success and debuted at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart during 1997, scoring that for eleven weeks. It eventually won Puffy and Evans the 1998 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The next year, she received another two Grammy nominations for "Heartbreak Hotel", a collaboration with singers Whitney Houston and Kelly Price, that scored number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Two years in the making, Evans' second studio album, Keep the Faith, was released in October 1998. Almost entirely written and produced by her, Evans considered the album difficult to complete as she had initially felt discouraged about the progress at first. Upon its release, however, the album earned generally positive reviews by music critics, with Allmusic noting it "without a doubt a highlight of 1990s soul-pop music". Also enjoying commercial success, it eventually went platinum and produced the top ten singles "Love Like This" and "All Night Long" (released March 30, 1999) prompting Evans to start an 18-city theater tour with Dru Hill and Total the following year.

2001–2007: Faithfully, legal issues, Capitol Records and The First Lady

Evans' third album on the Bad Boy label, named Faithfully (2001), involved her working with a wider range of producers, including The Neptunes, Mario Winans, Buckwild, Vada Nobles, Cory Rooney, and others. Her first project with husband Todd Russaw as executive producer and creative partner, the album scored number 14 on the Billboard 200 album chart and number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, eventually being certified platinum, but yielded moderately successful singles, with the Jennifer Lopez-written "I Love You" becoming the only top twenty entry. Released amid Bad Boy Records' transition from distributor Arista Records to Universal, Evans felt Faithfully received minimum assistance by the company, and during 2004, she finally decided to end her business with Bad Boy as she was convinced Combs couldn't improve her career any more due to his other commitments. In January 2004, Evans and Russaw were arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and cocaine and an improper tag violation during a traffic stop in Hapeville, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia.

After ending with Bad Boy Entertainment Evans contracted with Capitol Records company, becoming the first contemporary R&B artist to do so, and started work on her fourth studio album The First Lady, named after her nickname on her former label. As opposed to having an in-house team of producers who supplied most of the previous material, she and Russaw were able to gain more creative control of the album and consulted producers such as Bryan-Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri, Mike Caren, Pharrell Williams, and Chucky Thompson to contribute to it. Upon its release in April 2005, The First Lady scored at number two on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, becoming Evans' best-charting album to date. It was eventually certified gold by the RIAA. At the end of the year, Evans released A Faithful Christmas, a holiday album of traditional Christmas songs and original tracks. The effort would become her last release on Capitol Records as the company was bought during 2007.

2005–2012: Hiatus, arrest, divorce and Something About Faith

Following a 5-year hiatus Faith Evans created her very own record label imprint in 2010. She named the imprint Prolific Music Group and hired top talent to build the record label from scratch. Evans began recording songs with Keyshia Cole, Redman, Snoop Dogg and Raekwon, among others for the labels freshman album. Evans signed a deal with independent record label E1 Entertainment later that year. Her fifth studio album Something About Faith was released on October 5, 2010 in the United States, where it debuted and peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard 200 and number one on the Independent Albums chart. Something About Faith has spawned the leading single "Gone Already", which spent over thirty-three weeks on the US Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it peaked at number twenty-two.

In August 2010, Evans was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving, after being stopped at a checkpoint in Marina del Rey, California. In 2011, Evans filed for divorce against Russaw. The couple agreed to spend 13 weeks in a drug-treatment program in exchange for halting any further prosecution of their drug-possession case. In May 2011, Evans and Russaw announced they were getting a divorce, and stated they would like to keep it quiet for the children's sakes.

2012–present: R&B Divas: Atlanta, Incomparable and The King and I

In 2012, Evans co-executive produced and became a cast member on the TV One reality show R&B Divas: Atlanta alongside fellow R&B singers Nicci Gilbert, Syleena Johnson, Keke Wyatt and Monifah. The show offered an inside look at how the singers balance their music careers and personal lives as they work towards producing an Evans-led compilation album, R&B Divas (2012), in memory of Whitney Houston. Broadcast to rating records for the network, the series produced a spin-off titled R&B Divas: Los Angeles and was renewed for two further seasons. Evans, who left the show following its second season, earned a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Album at the 55th awards ceremony.

In August 2013, Evans confirmed she had begun work on her sixth studio album Incomparable, involving contribution from Chucky Thompson, Mike City, KeKe Wyatt, B.Slade and Karen Clark Sheard of The Clark Sisters. "I Deserve It", a record featuring recurring collaborator Missy Elliott and her protégée Sharaya J, was released on August 25, 2014 as the album's lead single and peaked at number 19 on Billbord's Adult R&B Songs chart. Released by Prolific Music Group and BMG Rights Management on November 24, 2014, Incomparable debuted at number 27 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and number 17 on the US Independent Albums chart.

In 2016, Evans announced that she was finishing a posthumous Notorious B.I.G. album titled The King & I, which will feature duets with the two. The album is scheduled to be released on May 19, 2017.

Other ventures

Acting

Having previously appeared in stage plays as a teenager, Evans began acting with a supporting role in director Robert Adetuyi's 2000 music drama Turn It Up, featuring Pras Michel from The Fugees, Jason Statham and Ja Rule. Released to generally negative reviews from critics, who noted it "patently absurd in both the details and larger aspects", the indie film had a short play and became a financial disappointment, gaining US$1.24 million during its U.S. run only.

During 2003, Evans acted in the MTV-produced romantic comedy The Fighting Temptations in which she appeared in a brief but major role portraying a single mother and night club singer. Filmed in Columbus, Georgia and headed by Cuba Gooding, Jr. (her character is his mother) and Beyoncé Knowles, the film garnered mixed reviews by critics, but scored top three of the U.S. box office, resulting in a domestic gross of US$30.2 million. In addition, Evans recorded a contemporary cover version of Donna Summer's 1978 success "Heaven Knows" for the film which her characters performs during one of the first in sequence in the film. The accompanying soundtrack scored the top twenty of the U.S. Billboard 200.

During 2004, Evans earned a brief guest stint on the UPN situation comedy Half & Half. Evans announced that she had been working on a synopsis for her own situation comedy that would be based largely on her life but with a more comedic aspect. It is unknown whether she has officially pitched the sitcom to any television networks at this time.

Florence Ballard biopic

In November 2010, several sources stated that Faith would portray Motown star Florence Ballard of the Supremes in an upcoming biopic, Blondie: The Florence Ballard Story. With the blessing of Ballard's three daughters, Faith later appeared on the Wendy Williams Show to promote this role. In July 2014, Rolling Stone reported that the movie, thought to be titled "Blondie", was in fact a con artist's scam.

Writing

Evans released her autobiographic book called Keep the Faith: A Memoir on August 29, 2008. Written with Aliya S. King, it detailed the singer's life, but also discussed Evans' controversial relationship with her late husband, the Notorious B.I.G.:

"I want people to understand that although he was a large part of my life, my story doesn't actually begin or end with Big's death. My journey has been complicated on many levels. And since I am always linked to Big, there are a lot of misconceptions about who I really am. It's not easy putting your life out there for the masses. But I've decided I'll tell my own story. For Big. For my children. And for myself."

In its initial release, Keep the Faith: A Memoir landed in the Top 20 on New York's Best Seller's List two consecutive weeks in a row. During 2009, the book received The 2009 African American Literary Award for Best Biography/Memoir.

Philanthropy

Faith has recently shown support for Little Kids Rock by donating items for auction to raise money in support of music education in public schools.

Voice

Evans is noted for her "urban-edged honeyed soprano." Her vocal range extends from the low note of C#3 to high soprano C#6 . Washington Post writer Craig Seymour called her "angelic yet hearty soprano" as showcasing emotion that is defined by Evans' personal experiences of tragedy, love, pain and heartbreak. Her official website also references "her soaring soprano" vocals when speaking about her second album.
