"Notorious B.I.G." is a song and single by The Notorious B.I.G. from the album Born Again, which features Lil' Kim, and Puff Daddy. As a tribute song, Lil' Kim and Puff Daddy's verses have little relevance to Biggie's verse, which is about being in the hospital while being comforted by attractive female nurses. It samples the song "Notorious" by Duran Duran.
In February 2013, the song resurfaced on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart at #5 for one week.[1]
Video
The video consists of Puff Daddy inviting a security guard (played by Tracy Morgan) to a party, and a traffic jam, and a big party in the end glorifying Notorious B.I.G. It features cameos from 98 Degrees, Krayzie Bone, Thug Queen, Cuban Link, Wish Bone, Missy Elliott, Nas, Jennifer Lopez, Lil' Cease, Fat Joe and others. Puff Daddy was also the director of the video.
