AMG Review of Bad Boy's Greatest Hits

John Bush
All Music Guide

Though albums by Bad Boy Records artists always sold incredibly well, the single productions of Sean "Puffy" Combs lit up the charts. Collected here is the essence of Bad Boy, including all of the label's best tracks: the remix of Craig Mack's "Flava in Ya Ear" that practically made the label, the Notorious B.I.G.'s "One More Chance/Stay With Me," Puff Daddy's "It's All About the Benjamins," and Mase's "Feel So Good." Unless you're a big fan, that's about all the Bad Boy you need. It's a bit of a shame that it doesn't include the B.I.G. tribute "I'll Be Missing You," but Bad Boy's Greatest Hits is still an excellent summation of the label's hit production.
