Editor: Andy Geel. Illustrator: Elizabeth Rosen. It is difficult to overcome the suspicion that DUETS: THE FINAL CHAPTER, the Notorious B.I.G.'s second posthumous "studio" release, is a blatant case of opportunism. The late rapper's legend towers so hugely over the hip-hop landscape, and his name has taken on such iconic grandeur, that it's absurdly easy to cash in on his musical legacy. DUETS recycles unused Biggie material, looping it artfully along with performances by some of the finest MCs and vocalists in the hip-hop and R&B community. Since Biggie's parts are sometimes minimal, however, those looking for a disc full of new music from the late icon may be disappointed. Still, the album is an affecting listen, which is largely due to the spectacular assembly of talent. With a roster that includes the likes of Missy Elliott, R. Kelly, Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, Eminem, Nas, Mary J. Blige, and Biggie's widow, Faith Evans, among many, many others, DUETS works nicely as a tribute and a testament to Biggie's influence on the evolution of hip-hop. As much a cultural artifact as a music release, DUETS will appeal to hardcore Biggie fans and, in general, music fans interested in how hip-hop builds and maintains its own mythology.

ビギー最終章!“最後の新作”遂に登場!

90年代初頭、あのショーン“パフィ”コムズに見出され<バッド・ボーイ>の看板ラッパーを務めたビギー・スモールズことザ・ノートリアス・B.I.G.。巨漢から吐き出す、以外にもハスキーで繊細なフロウで世界制覇を果たしつつも、97年3月に凶弾に倒れた25歳の若き天才ラッパーは、未だ絶大な影響をヒップホップ・シーンに与え続けている。これまでにも生前に残した音源からアルバムが制作されてきたが、2005年12月、遂に公式アルバムにして“最後”のフルアルバムが発売!8年の時を経て、ビギーの最終章が遂に幕を開けるファン必携の完全永久保存盤だ!

Entertainment Weekly (p.80) - "DUETS works on two fronts: as a brisk-moving all-star mixtape and sad reminder of a towering talent." -- Grade: B+
Rovi

The weight of Notorious B.I.G.'s legacy is so profound that most major rap MCs and R&B singers alive -- and some who are dead -- are willing to be attached to it in whatever form possible. It could also be argued that anyone with the means is more than willing to profit from it in a monetary way. Here's Duets: The Final Chapter, released just before Christmas Day 2005, following 1999's Born Again, which was released just before Christmas Day 1999. Like Born Again, Duets takes bits of unused material from the late legend, and that can entail full-blown verses, looped declarations, or punctuative interjections. On some tracks, Biggie's presence is no more prominent than a handclap or a snare hit. Check the lead track "It Has Been Said," where he's limited to "what," "ungh," "yeah," "ha-ha," "uh-huh." If you can get past the fact that a lot of tracks barely feature the headliner, or listen without imagining the original contexts of the patched-together scraps, Duets can be sporadically riveting. The list of guests is overwhelming, with Jay-Z, Nas, Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, R. Kelly, T.I., Slim Thug, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Missy Elliott, the Clipse, Snoop Dogg, and Freeway representing roughly half of the involved. Only a few tracks contain significant Biggie contributions, and it's not as if they provide any further insight or add to his long-established legend. Many of his vocals are not pulled from professional studio-quality recordings, which only makes them sound more displaced. Perhaps Korn's Jonathan Davis put it best when he told Billboard about the project: "It's f*ckin' weird to be doing a song with someone who is deceased!" His description applies to what it's like to listen to the disc. ~ Andy Kellman

ノトーリアスBIGの〈最終章〉は、遺されたアカペラと豪華なゲスト陣が〈デュエット〉を繰り広げるコンピ的な内容になった。ビギーのラップ・パートはほぼすべてが既発曲からの転用ながら、ボブ・マーリーやコーンなど意外なコラボ相手が続出することもあって、ミックステープのように楽しむのが正解なんじゃないでしょうか? ディディをはじめ、2パック、ジェイ・Z、フェイス・エヴァンスといった縁深い面々も登場。
