I think this is a pretty good album. Biggie's flow is one of the best of all time, and the production is generally solid from Easy Mo Bee, Bluez Brothers, P. Diddy and others. I think what probably keeps it from a higher score is: 1) the skits/interludes are pretty terrible, and much like Eminem, I don't care for a lot of the lyrical content. But, still pretty enjoyable overall. 3.5 stars.
