The Notorious B.I.G. - Solos: Before Puff Made It...



The Notorious B.I.G. (2005) Solos: Before Puff Made It Gay

Pardon the antiquated, millenial verbiage here. This is an internet bootleg/compilation from 2005, my senior year in high school, a time that I fondly remember as... the Spindle Era. Yeah, the blogs were already popping back then - I enjoyed reading The Smoking Section in 2004, that's where it all started for HHIR - so you could call it the Blog Era; but *my* main focus at the time, before I got heavy into external hard drives, was buying up CD-R spindles, exhausting my poor little Compaq laptop's CD burner, and filling up CaseLogic binders with my makeshift digital library - all in 700MB increments at a time. Much more on that later...

I've been spending quite a bit of time digging up old gems. With what's going on with Mr. Sean Combs right now, I felt obliged to flip through my old CD wallets and binders to grab (and share) this humorously-titled compilation. Took me a while, but I finally found it. In short, a Puffy-less Biggie mix. Enjoy... and turn it up!!
