I know I've been leaning heavily on Biggie recently, but this mix was too brilliant to pass up on. For once, my wishes were fulfilled in that Puffy's dumbass wasn't all up in the acapella, but that also means that a pivotal point of the third verse is missing. Then again, who doesn't know this song by heart anyways?
There are some screwy parts, and I wish there was more of a chorus between verses, but I'm satisfied.
