AOL Music has a tribute to Biggie. They have some DJ remixes of Biggie tracks, the full "Greatest Hits" album up for listening, a lyrics quiz and tribute video where Jadakiss, Styles P., Mister Cee and the founders of AllHipHop.com (Greg Watkins and Chuck Creekmur) talk about Biggie.
Styles and Jadakiss said that the day before he died (also the first time they'd been in Los Angeles), Biggie said he loved 2Pac and Jadakiss said that Biggie said he was gonna stay in Caulifornia for another month.
Mister Cee said that the "Hypnotize" video was who Biggie really was. When it came to pick favorite albums, the AllHipHop.com guys both picked RTD, but Mister Cee, Jadakiss and Styles P. picked LAD.
Mister Cee on posthumous work:
... If Bad Boy Entertainment has more Biggie material, they're going to try to put out another project. Business is business. And we don't know if Biggie would have worked with an Eminem if he was still alive, we don't know if Biggie would have worked with a T.I. if he was alive. Or whatever the case is. But, the fact of the matter is that those types of artists is what's current and what's hot right now. You have to be realistic on trying to connect Biggie to the current audience.
Diddy was on 106 & Park today to talk about Biggie and "Greatest Hits" and what have you. He did drop one bit of really interesting news - they are going to do a concert on Biggie's birthday (May 21) to celebrate his life and "everybody is going to be there." He said "hopefully" it would be at the Garden and to stay tuned. So... we'll see. Whatever they do, please sell a DVD for it!
He was asked what his favorite Biggie tracks were and he said "One More Chance" (I presume he means the remix) and "Who Shot Ya". "Who Shot Ya" is a pretty interesting choice when you think about it.
He was also asked what Biggie's favorites were. He said "One More Chance" (again, I'm thinking the remix) and "Brooklyn's Finest".
Just watching 106 & Park (Diddy will be on in a sec) and they mentioned that they'll be doing something for Biggie on Freestyle Friday on 106 & Park.
I was just watching the end of Rap City and Juelz Santana said that there will be a B.I.G. tribute on the Friday episode.
The official "Greatest Hits" site has opened a bit more (although not much more). They have an audio player where you can listen to clips of "Want That Old Thing Back",
"One More Chance/Stay With Me (Remix)", "Juicy", "Running Your Mouth" and "Notorious Thugs".
SOHH.com has a link to listen to the whole album care of Atlantic Records.
Updating a previous story, the person who accused Diddy of assault recently in Hollywood has now filed suit.
From CentreDaily.com:
Gerard Rechnitzer is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages in the suit, which was filed Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court.
From stuff.co.nz:
... the police spokesman said he could not confirm that Combs, 37, was the subject of the investigation. Combs' lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, called the lawsuit "completely baseless".
From CNN.com:
"It is just another example of an opportunist seeking to fabricate a lawsuit based on a flat-out lie to try to take advantage of Mr. Combs' celebrity status," Brafman said in a statement. "Mr. Combs did not hit anyone, and Mr. Rechnitzer suffered no injuries or damages whatsoever. There is no case. It is that simple."
Today sees the release of "Greatest Hits" by The Notorious B.I.G. After "Ready to Die", "Life After Death," "Born Again", "Ready to Die: The Remaster" and "Duets: The Final Chapter", this may very well be the last Biggie album that is ever released.

MTV has a great feature article on Biggie. The article features words from Biggie, Busta Rhymes, Keith Murray, Mark Pitts, Clark Kent, Chris Rock and D-Roc. There is a bunch of interesting tidbits in there, so give it a read.

I just wanted to mention that I just finished a large update of the music video data on the releases page. Dead links have been removed and all of the links to videos on that page are working as of this second.
On another note of disappointment, I just did what I do the Sunday before every Bad Boy album is released... I checked all of the fliers and websites for store based bonuses. You know, bonus tracks, DVDs, etc. After checking iTunes, Circuit City, Wal-Mart, Target and Best Buy... there does not appear to be a single store based bonus available for "Greatest Hits". So, if you were going to look, hopefully I've saved you some time.
