If Big were alive today and he played this CD I'm sure he'd be proud of each every song on the album. It's hard to imagine that most of these songs are remixed from original Big acapellas and releases.
Songs like 'Nasty Girl' will attract all kinds of music lovers with its entourage of fine acts such as Jagged Edge & Nelly who add a more up to date appeal to the song.
'Spit Your Game' a remix of the orginal 'Lets Ride' will get plenty of airtime, due to the fact the beat was produced by the legendary Swizz Beatz from the Ruff Ryders. The song also features Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony who did the original with Big and Twista who brings his style to the table, together they produced an awesome track.
Other tracks that should be paid attention are; 'It Has Been Said' featuring Eminem, 'Mi Casa' featuring R. Kelly and 'Watchu Want' Featuring Jay-Z.
This CD is definetly a must have for all hip hop fans.

Advantages: Still good to hear BIG and some good special appearances Disadvantages: Lakes new material and far to few high quality songs for a BIG album
