Obviously, the 2 proper albums were gonna be at least half of the playlist, and there's an embarrassment of riches on those records.

Track 18 from The King & I with Faith Evans (2017) Tracks 2 and 11 from Notorious: Music From And Inspired By The Original Motion Picture (2009) Track 13 from Duets: The Final Chapter (2005) Track 7 from The Tunnel by Funkmaster Flex and Big Kap (1999) Tracks 4 and 17 from Conspiracy by Junior M.A.F.I.A. Lovin' You For Life with Faith Evans and Lil Kim Notorious Thugs featuring Bone Thugs-n-Harmonyġ7. Running Your Mouth featuring Busta Rhymes, Fabolous, Nate Dogg and Snoop Doggġ3. But I decided to give myself the challenge of trying to make a good enough playlist to justify posting it, and ultimately it wasn't that hard simply because almost every verse Big ever put on tape was good or more often great, he was just insanely consistent. Even the posthumous albums are pretty hit-and-miss and largely remix previously released verses.

I usually look at 4 albums as the bare minimum to really be able to make a good 80-minute playlist in this series where I actually curate the selection and aren't just using every possible song, and Biggie really stretches the limit with only 2 proper albums. When I covered the 2020 class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame a few weeks ago, the artist I was the least surprised to see make the cut was the Notorious B.I.G - it would just have been strange if they inducted 2Pac at the first opportunity but not Biggie.
