Sean Combs sheds the oftentimes awkward posthumous collaborations found on Born Again and Duets: The Final Chapter to present an intriguing collection of previously-released material and new tracks that honor the short life - but continuing legacy - of Christopher Wallace.

The most interesting are the previously unreleased demos Microphone Murder, Guaranteed Raw and Love No Ho, which close out the 17-song soundtrack. The two two original numbers - Brooklyn Go Hard (Jay-Z w/ Santogold) and Letter to B.I.G. (Jadakiss w/ Faith Evans) - are excellent and One More Chance (featuring Wallace's son, CJ) is a touching tribute.

A soundtrack is not a greatest hits package, but this collection is a stand-alone that can be appreciated for the music and/or as an integral part of the movie.

The movie was outstanding, heads bopping and everyone knew every lyric and verse. The beat is enough to start anyone off. Just perfect, a perfect movie outing.

It made me want the music and here I am downloading it, it bring me back to that era, and at the same time, the music is still relevant.

If anything, the movie put BIG's music in better perspective as he rapped about a lot of the situations in his life and that fit seamlessly with the movie! I'm seeing it again on Friday!!

just a note to say that i own the movie now the soundtrack. when i am in my car i play and reflect on the outstanding movie. even though it came from the uk it took long enough to get here, thanks

PURCHASED FOR MY DAUGHTER TONIANN. BEING FROM BROOKLYN NY WHO DOESN'T LOVE BIGGIE. I'M NOT INTO RAP BUT THIS IS WHAT SHE TELLS ME. THEY SAY HE WAS THE GREATEST RAPPER EVER. SO BEING FROM BKLYN I GUESS I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THAT LOL

this is an awesome soundtrack it is enjoyable and fun to listen to. the best songs on this disc are all of them

When it comes to soundtracks, it's rare to find one that features all the songs that plays in the motion picture. In this case, it's the opposite: you find every single track that you can hear in the movie, and also some brand new tracks. The "D" side features a duet, made through electronic means, between The Notorious B.I.G. and his son, Christopher Wallace Jr., that plays his father in the beginning of this excelent biopic. And you can never get tired of hits such as "Hypnotize" and "Notorious". Definitely, this vinyl represent "BK" to the fullest.

The highlights of this album are the track five--a fun song not found on any of Big's studio albums--and the last three tracks that are simply amazing demo tracks. Find me a 17, 18 year old kid who can write and rap like that and you're looking at a multi-millionaire. My favorite part of the demos is you hear these little Big catch phrases that he uses later on real tracks that you know and love.

It's also interesting to hear Danny Elfman's take on Big. For a huge paycheck out of Puff's pocket, I'm sure.

Solid album for any fan of Frank White. I'd almost say it's an essential pick next to his 3 studio albums, but the amount of re-releases makes it less interesting and is why it got 4 stars.

What can I say?? One of the greatest Rappers proved why he was on top when he departed us too soon.

Though I loved Biggie's music I was hoping this album was going to be enhanced somehow. Unfortunately, the album just puts out a compilation of old songs. I hope the movie is better.

Looked forward to hereing the song off the sound track Letter to Big. Like the service dlevered in three days like promised. Can't beat the price.
