Stevie J spazzed on the piano on “Do You Know?”

This beat is ridiculous, again another album cut that was banger.

 

[GollyImGully]

Big went TF CRAZY on this album…he clearly had another level he could tap into

And he was credited as an Exec Producer

I keep telling people I truly believe that I dont think we even heard the best version of BIG

 

[Conan]

I remember someone on another hip hop forum credited this album with creating the "Mainstream vs. Underground" divide in hip hop.

Either way, this is a good album with catchy songs, amazing features, and passable sounding raps from Diddy.

It also helped Mase blow up.

This album vs WuTang Forever set the tone for that split. Rawkus played into that dynamic too.

"No Way Out" Tour was big.......had everyone on it.

In 1997 Puffy and mase were the coolest dudes on the planet to me as a kid … 1997 was an exciting time in music and Bad Boy ran that year.

For those who are nutty completists like me, the "Soul Food" soundtrack version of "Don't Stop What You're Doing", while edited for content, goes on a lot longer at the end with some extra adlibs from Puff.

Summer of 97 was so lit and this CD was a big part of the reason why .. at least for me

 

[Spidey Man]

Summer of 97 was so lit and this CD was a big part of the reason why .. at least for me

Summer was weird that year after Big was killed in March, but Bad Boy ran shyt. Too bad we never got the extended Big, Mase and Lox run.

I will always hate Puff But I can’t deny the album

 

[Razzay]

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

26 years today!!!
