Review - :

Considering it was released almost three years after his death, it'd be easy to dismiss {$the Notorious B.I.G.}'s third album as a cash-in or merely a tribute album, similar to {$Puff Daddy}'s {^No Way Out}. Fact is, {^Born Again} includes a lot of previously unheard material from {$Biggie}, and guest spots from {$Busta Rhymes}, {$Redman} and {$Method Man}, {$Missy Elliott}, {$Ice Cube}, and {$Snoop Dogg} work better than could be expected. It's difficult to say where all this material came from, but it's probable that the productions were simply arranged around old rhymes from {$Biggie} himself. On most tracks, he takes a spotlight and then the guest rapper comes in. Thanks to executive producer {$Puff Daddy}, it'd be easy to fool those not into {\hip-hop} into thinking that {$the Notorious B.I.G.} was still alive. The outro, a spoken-word reminiscence by {$Voletta Wallace} (his mother), is a bit touching but also a bit ghoulish. For {$Notorious B.I.G.} fans, this is another must-have, but for anyone that thinks the {\rap} industry routinely goes too far in pursuit of the almighty dollar, {^Born Again} is yet further proof.
