Bittersweet album. BIG was really cut down in his prime. He was on MJ mode on this album.

Victory is a GOAT workout song

Benjamins is one of the best hip hop beats of all time

 

[Bondye Vodou]

Shiny suit mafioso classic. Nikkas tried to hate but this shyt is still fresh as fukk in 2022.

ive been listening to Bad Boy stuff from that era recently

Mase was moonwalking all over those tracks

Hip Hop heads were hating at the time...but looking back he was talking his shyt.

Album has aged well. Shiny Suit Era get a lot of hate but still some of the most entertaining music ever, shyt just put you in a good mood

Another thing with this album; it really took hip hop remixes to another level.
The remixes of some of the singles got more play than the original mix

 

[Spidey Man]

Mason was floating all over this and Big was moving to a different level. Kiss was putting on a ghostwriting clinic. That was 72 win Bulls as a team

 

[Controversy]

Been Around The World video was so cinematic...and that singular moment elevated J-Lo in the hood, and she soon thereafter became hollywood's it girl

Puff was on top of rap in the summer of 97 after this album dropped

Summer of 97, one of the best times of my life. This, LAD and Wu-Tang Forever was the soundtrack. Didn't know how good we had it

classic album, so many hits... bad boy was on an incredible run during this time , the fact that ma$e followed with harlem world a few months later is crazy

I can't think of the equivalent of any record label having their three biggest selling albums all in one year.

we know bout the massive songs on this joint but is this the end?, i love u baby, power, young g's ...


really wish he aint add a damn opera singer and all those sound effects to the victory video tho....ive seen whippersnappers react to this shyt on youtube and not really get how hard Big was going because of all the distractions...but..small hindsight gripe

I know everyone wants to say Jadakiss was the second best rapper on Bad Boy, but in my opinion it was always Mase
