With two undeniably classic albums under his belt before he passed away, Christopher Wallace's legacy was already cemented - but, whilst not leaving 200 or so tracks like his great rival Tupac, some material remained in the can and unused. No-one can really blame Puff Daddy for wanting to release some of it - but as the first album of Biggie's to not feature his creative input, this album is a comparatively paltry addition to his legacy.
When Biggie was alive, he wasn't a freestyler - he was a writer, and a brilliant one. He was great at cinematic imagery, wit and wordplay, and had a way with words like no other. Born Again, unfortunately, is mostly made up of half-finished songs by Biggie completed by others. And the fact is, there aren't many MCs who can step up to the plate and go toe-to-toe with Biggie on his own turf. There's a reason why Ready To Die only had one guest spot on it.
And so it is, we're left with a pile of great Biggie verses over inconsistent productions and with a weight of guest spots not measuring up. Only Eminem can match Biggie on MCing skill - a rare glimpse of two of the industry's all-time greats together is a thrill, though the production leaves a little to be desired.
In truth, the production is the real problem. Always handy with a pop touch, Puff Daddy has overshined a great deal of the album. The majority of what we get, instead of the punishing beats like 'Gimme The Loot' are clacking, catchy singles like 'Juicy'. Although nothing here matches Juicy for quality.
Some songs are worth hearing - opener 'Notorious' has a great vocal sample for its chorus and Li'l Kim and Puffy almost keep up with Biggie. As previously mentioned, Eminem ricochets off his style pretty well too.
But at the end of the day, this is an album that feels half-finished because that's just what it is. Biggie was already one of the greatest in history before this album came out, and you really don't need to hear it to know why.

This is probably the least famous of the Biggie albums, but that doesn't mean its the worst.
This is a great album which is solid throughout and hardly slips up, with only a few weak songs. There are lots of famous faces making appearances, like Lil Kim, Puff Daddy, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Too Short, Method Man, Redman, Junior MAFIA, Mobb Deep and Nas.
The best 5 songs on this album are:
Notorious
Dangerous MCs
Rap Phenomenon
Can I Get Witcha
I Really Want To Show You
Also the intro and outro are very deep and moving if listened to at the right time.
This is a great album that will appeal to all tastes. There are gangsta songs, comedy songs, songs about hos, just basic rap songs, story songs and hardcore songs.

Carrying on from where Life After Death and Ready to Die left off, this is yet another rap classic. The only bad track on the album is Notorious which uses the hideous Duran Duran sample. Its such a shame that Biggie got his 'wig pushed back'.
