A prolific poet of the streets, a charismatic performer, and an honest, impassioned storyteller, the Notorious B.I.G. lives on through his profound influence on modern hip-hop. Originally issued in 2007 to mark the 10th anniversary of the Brooklyn-born-and-bred rapper’s untimely passing, The Notorious B.I.G.’sGreatest Hits commemorates what is unquestionably one of hip-hop’s most remarkable bodies of work, gathering together such iconic classics as “Juicy,” “One More Chance,” “Big Poppa,” “Notorious Thugs,” “Ten Crack Commandments,” “Dead Wrong,” and the No. 1 smash, “Hypnotize.” As a special bonus, the set also unveiled the pair of then never-before-released tracks: “Running Your Mouth” and “Want That Old Thing Back.”
