The Notorious B.I.G. - Duets: The Final Chapter

Jazze Pha Beat Jacks Himself

There's only two good songs on the whole joint. The one with Jay-Z and Spit Yo Game, which got slept on, while some corny a** joint with Nelly with his shirt off all in the video got more airplay than it deserved. It proves that there is payola still going on. Now why the crazy title you ask? Listen to Angie Stone's I Wanna Thank Ya and you'll see why. Is it not the same a** beat that the song I just dissed also uses? That's not cool. If one song doesn't get airplay, don't reuse the beat for another more commercial song just to get a quick producer's credit. I'm a fan of Jazze Pha's, but I can't ride with him on that one, even though thousands of 12 year old girls would disagree with my point of view. That's only one complaint I have with this horrible piece of marketing trash. Only a couple joints are actual duets, and only one joint has all new vocals. Puff should have called it We Invented The Remix 2: Biggie Sized. And what's with the joints without any biggie on em? Why not save that [...] for another inevitible Bad Boy compilation? Speaking of which, this disc [...] as a Biggie album,but it gets 5 mics as a compilation, a compilation of hot trash that Biggie himself would never have authorized, even if he was broke and hungry. The check ain't worth the commercialization of one of hip hop's legends. Swing and a miss, Puff. Better luck on the Dylon Hot Fy-yuh album. May 1, 2006
