Bobby Ray (aka B.o.B) "Mr. Bobby"

"Now I go by the name 'Bobby Ray.' Make sure you put 'Bobby Ray'. I'm really going into a new direction — more free and not trying to live up to any particular genre. I don't feel like I've been doing that. I don't feel like I've been trying to fit in, but I feel even more free-spirited. I have more willingness musically. That's all I'm about. I'm about guitars, chords and keyboards." - Bobby Ray aka B.o.B

BIGGIE SMALLS - The Ready To Die 12 Inches

To cap off B.I.G. day it's only right to hit you with the Ready To Die 12"s. There isn't much more that can be said about Christopher Wallace that hasn't been said already. He's one of the best to ever do it and Hip-Hop hasn't been the same since March 9th, 1997. For a couple of bonus BIGGIE records that came out just before Ready To Die click HERE for "Real Niggaz Do Real Things" where B.I.G. rocks over a bunch of Dr. Dre beats, and click HERE for the classic "Dreams (Just Playin')" where B.I.G. dreams of fucking an R&B bitch.

BIGGIE SMALLS is STILL the ILLEST.

Before the internet was poppin, this was the place you could get exclusive freestyles as well as all the newest Bad Boy records from BIGGIE and crew. These tapes also had all the hottest records of the moment, not just a bunch of Bad Boy artists. Add to that they were hosted by Puff Daddy and mixed by the hottest DJs in NYC at the time and these are classics right here.

Nas "If I Ruled The World '09" (Smirnoff Mix)

Not sure what the point of this is other than for Nas to get paid, but here is a remake of "If I Ruled The World" he did for Smirnoff. I don't hate it as much as I thought I would but I still don't see the point of remaking songs that have no business being remade.
