Considered by some to be the greatest MC of all time, the late Christopher Wallace had recorded just two solo LPs at the time of his death. Still, his mark on the genre has been indelible and his influence unending. Released to coincide with the 10th anniversary of his still-unsolved murder, GREATEST HITS mostly makes good on what its title promises.
Included in the 17-song tracklist are all the boom-box bangers that dominated the airwaves, MTV, and BET, and moved serious industry weight. From the infectious bounce of "Juicy" and the smoothed-out funk of "Big Poppa" to the fearsome gunplay of "Warning" and powerful lyrical precision of "Ten Crack Commandments," Big's talents and legacy are well-represented. Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Nelly, Ja Rule, Nate Dogg, and Ralph Tresvant are among the artists who take part in the posthumous studio collaborations rounding out GREATEST HITS.

Numero Uno Biggie is the by far the best MC of all time. This cd includes some of his best work, but easily could be 3 discs, considering how many sick songs he put out. R.I.P.

biggie is born again and again and again biggie was only in professional music industry for about 4 years and in those years he released only 3 albums including the one with his group junior mafia which he helped produce and was featured in. in that short amount of time he become one of the greatest rappers of all time plus helping out diddy,jay z, mase,lil kim,faith evens,the lox,charlie baltimore,junior mafia,and 112 jump start their music careers. along the way he made few major hits that become classics that are iin this album.
