1999年12月,“坏男孩”唱片公司发布了《Born Again》这张专辑。该专辑包括了先前从未公开的与一些客串歌手的混音作品,其中有许多歌手Biggie生前从未与之合作过。专辑获得了一些评论界的好评,但是还是有不少人对专辑中一些不太完美的混声提出了质疑和批评。The Source杂志更是称这张专辑“集合了Biggie职业生涯中一些最糟糕的合作作品”。尽管如此,这张专辑还是大卖了3百万张。随着时间的推移,Biggie的声音更是多次出现在一些大热单曲中,比如Ashanti的"Foolish"和2002年的 "Realest Niggas",以及Tupac(2pac)2003年的专辑《Resurrection》中"Runnin'一歌。 Biggie还出现在迈克尔·杰克逊2001年的专辑《Invincible》中。
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 that 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 B.I.G. fans, this is another must-have, but for anyone who thinks the rap industry routinely goes too far in pursuit of the almighty dollar, Born Again is yet further proof.
