Notorious B.I.G. Born Again [PA]

3 stars out of 5 - "...new beats...laid under old B.I.G. rhymes...The real find here is the awesome 'Dead Wrong', which shows B.I.G. in his prime....the rhymes here are tight, like a great actor who shines even in a bad movie..."
"...a wonder of posthumous record-making....[It] not only makes Biggie seem alive, but it sounds like the album he might have made had he lived....it's a hammering jam..." - Rating: B+

3 stars out of 5 - "...a posthumous rag bag of tracks put out partly as a tribute and partly to finally clear the cupboard of Biggie material....the CD's skillfully compiled and features virtually every big name in rap. If you're a fan you'll want it..."
"...it's good to hear some new verses from one of the most solid MCs to rock the mic. Highlights...include 'Dead Wrong' (with Eminem), 'Niggas' and the vinyl-only '95 classic 'Who Shot Ya'."
3 mics out of 5 - "...a few good records' worth of Biggie's out-takes, recycled verses and doctored lyrics...compiling some of the most awkward collaborations of his career....When it's over, you'll realize that there ain't no bringin' him back..."
Urban Latino (1/00, p.82) - 4 out of 4 - "...the first post-mortem album, made up of remixes and unreleased tracks from READY TO DIE and LIFE AFTER DEATH....a worthy purchase..."
"...there's full showcasing of the BIG style, and others where his presence is a bit slighter. It's the only time BIG had a slight presence in anything."
