This album is Biggie’s final album. Released in December 2005, released almost a decade after his death in in 1997, it is believed by many to be the conclusion of the “Ready To Die / Life After Death” series. It is called “Duets” mainly since because of the limited verses Biggie had unfinished, features had to be added to fully lengthen the songs. Sometimes the featured artists just remixed one of Biggie’s lesser known songs, such as “What’s Beef” or “Nasty Boy”. Despite the harsh criticism from critics and fans, the album still boasts features from nearly everyone prominent in the rap game at that time. Some of the most notable features include: Eminem, Obie, Jay-Z, Faith Evans, Snoop Dogg, Diddy, former rival 2Pac, Nas, Lil Wayne, T.I., and many more.
