This is our Top 5 episode on the catalog of the Notorious B.I.G. While Biggie only had two albums that he recorded before he died, and only one that came out while he was alive, we still had trouble putting together a top 5. Why? Because the man had hits.
Here’s what we talked about:
Dream Collaborator: We forgot to cover this on the 50 For 50 episode. But Nas was booked for a “Gimme the Loot” remix verse that fell apart for the most Nas reason imaginable — “I got too high,” he told The Breakfast Club in 2020. The closest thing hip-hop had to a heavyweight unification match that never got made.
Rock With It or Stop With It: Testing whether “Miss U” and “Going Back to Cali” still hold up.
Top 5 Biggie Songs: Building our individual lists with tracks like “Hypnotize,” “Warning,” “Juicy,” “Mo Money Mo Problems,” “Who Shot Ya,” “I Got a Story to Tell,” and “Victory” all in the conversation.
