Album Notes It is difficult to overcome the suspicion that DUETS: THE FINAL CHAPTER, the Notorious B.I.G.'s second posthumous "studio" release, is a blatant case of opportunism. The late rapper's legend towers so hugely over the hip-hop landscape, and his name has taken on such iconic grandeur, that it's absurdly easy to cash in on his musical legacy. DUETS recycles unused Biggie material, looping it artfully along with performances by some of the finest MCs and vocalists in the hip-hop and R&B community. Since Biggie's parts are sometimes minimal, however, those looking for a disc full of new music from the late icon may be disappointed.Still, the album is an affecting listen, which is largely due to the spectacular assembly of talent. With a roster that includes the likes of Missy Elliott, R. Kelly, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Eminem, Nas, Mary J. Blige, and Biggie's widow, Faith Evans, among many, many others, DUETS works nicely as a tribute and a testament to Biggie's influence on the evolution of hip-hop. As much a cultural artifact as a music release, DUETS will appeal to hardcore Biggie fans and, in general, music fans interested in how hip-hop builds and maintains its own mythology.

This album kinda misses the point a bit. This is a hip pop album made to fly off the shelves bought by kids who dont know what or who Biggie was. Don't get me wrong it's okay, but thats only because of Biggies vocals.The production is tight though but more befitting to an N-Sync album. Nice to hear some new biggie material just dont expect it to sound anything like Ready to Die. Pleases though Puffy, Diddy, whatever..... don't go dancing up in the videos and stay behind the mixing desk! Review ID: 10000000000881481 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 16/04/06 by: 0 of 3 people found this review helpful. I heard the track Nasty Girl about 3 times each day for a month. No matter how many times I heard it, it still sounded as good as the first! I've never been a big fan of Biggie (or Tupac for that matter), but having been swayed by Nasty Girl, I took the plunge and bought the album. It has some really big names, in terms of performers and producers. It's mainly a mix of the bad and the ok, with two or three stand out tracks. If you like Biggie, you're bound to love this, as it's him at his best. If you're less of a fan, it won't sound as good as it should. Review ID: 10000000000874584 Was this review helpful?
