On paper, this isn't a terrible idea. However, in reality, it is. Remixing a lot Biggie of verses from his two classics over "current" beats with "current" rappers contributing new verses just doesn't work. It sounds fake and forced. The only saving graces to the album are the songs with unreleased material. "Whatchu Want" with Jay-Z and "Living in Pain" (produced by Just Blaze) with 2Pac, Mary J. Blige, and Nas are both descent records. But they still come nowhere near making up for the rest of the project.
