The Notorious B.I.G - Ultimate Rarities Collection (by WiShBone) (Biggie Smalls)

While the world considers The Notorious B.I.G to be one of the best rappers of his time, its unfortunate that so much of his posthumous releases have been plagued by terrible choices of production, reused verses from obvious sources, and weak/fake collaborations (ex. shout outs for Biggie to r.i.p. in the middle of the same song of which his verse is used).

Starting as far back as the days of Napster, I have searched the internet and random bootlegs for the best quality original and remixed Biggie tracks that I could find. Over the years, I have compiled what is in my opinion the best of the best and arranged them into albums that follow themes based on sound quality, time of original release, etc. Although I don't claim to be a deejay, some of these tracks have been edited and or remixed by me to either make a collabo with Biggie and Jay-Z or simply to cut out a deejay talking over the beat.

So here it is! This is my entire Biggie Smalls Collection aside from his studio albums, live performances, and some irrelevant bullshit. I left out the studio albums: "Ready to Die" and "Life After Death" because I am sure you already have them. If not, they are easy enough to get. Anyway, here is a description of all of these albums I personally made:



1)Biggie Smalls OG Classic CutZ
-has a lot of older versions of songs with (some unapproved samples)
-rare original guest apprearances and old school originals and remixes
-features 1 of the 3 GENUINE Biggie/2pac collabos, "Let's Get It On", but
in a bootleg remix form b/c the original version is kinda whack. (Also
features one of the many versions of the fake collabo, "Deadly
Combination" with BIG L!)


2)Born Again 1.1
-since most of post-humous Biggie is bitten, whack bullshit, here is a
collection of what I feel is decent of Born Again, Duets, and other newer
releases
-as far as sound quality, this is the best of the collection for that.


3)Brooklyn's Finest-The Commission
-Jay-z & Biggie were friends and it is rumoured that they planned to
release an album together. While they only have 2-3 genuine tracks
together, this cd is a collection of originals, DJ bootleg remixes, and
personal WiShBone remixes that I feel most captures their vision with
respect to the times. (CHECK OUT THE WHO SHOT YA REMIX!!!)


4)Featuring...The Notorious B.I.G.
-features Biggie in some old school and legit R&B tracks including Michael
Jackson.(yeah it really happened...)
-features some decent songs where Biggie was just on the chorus or had a 20
second verse. Don't be fooled. There is some good shit on here.
-I also squeezed a few bootleg remixes on this album that deserve to be
heard. After all, the spirit of these mixes is that they could have
actually been 80 minute albums.


5)Lives ON (Best of the Underground Remixes)
-it says it in the name. This is a mix of bootleg remixes that I
personally selected among SEVERAL bootleg albums. This was a lot of work
in the making, but I think its a nice listen.


6)The Brooklyn Mixtape
-this features various freestyles, demos, and bootleg originals
-as you would expect, this is not an album of superior sound quality
(although I searched for the best quality as possible)
-this is more of a collection of works that really show what type of rapper
Biggie was. Lyrically, some of this is sick as fuck! Because most it was
not professionally recorded,its easily forgettable by fairweather fans.


7)The Frank White LP
-this album is the closest thing to a 'real' Biggie album that I was able
to compile. Almost all of these are completely legit tracks from Junior
Mafia, to non-album singles, to solid guest appearances, to the BEST
VERSION of the REAL N*GGAZ 95 freestyle I have ever found. (Good luck
finding one better. If you do, upload it)
-this also includes 2 of the 3 GENUINE Biggie/2pac collabos: Runnin' and
House of Pain.


I hope you enjoy this collection! I spent so much time compiling it over the years that I love to finally share it. (unzipped for convenience)
