Ok so we all know P.Diddy, then known as Puff Daddy is a horrible person. However this review is about this album. And damn was it one of the gems of the 1990s! After the intro it starts with what I feel is one of rap's best songs, "Victory". It features Busta Rhymes on the hook and The Notorious B.I.G. (who also shows up on other songs). Then that's followed by the excellent "Been Around the World" which features Biggie on the hook and Mase. Mase was really good. I need to review his albums too. Diddy does well on "What You Gonna Do". "Young Gs" with Jay-z and Biggie is a definite highlight. Basically the production is very strong here. "Pain" is an interesting song. "It's All About the Benjamins (Remix)" is fire..Lil Kim really kills it! I feel she doesn't get talked about enough these days. "Friend" is ok....but might be the worst song here as Diddy and a spanish chick ...uh yeah lol. "I'll Be Missing You" is a perfect tribute to Biggie. It's just so damn good. The Faith Evans chorus is terrific. The album's closer "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" is great too. So this is one of Bad Boy's best albums. Check it out.
