"One More Chance" x Notorious B.I.G

     Biggie Smalls is arguably the best rapper ever, especially if you're from the East Coast and grew up when I did.  So it's no surprise when this song and video is one of the best in my humble opinion.  "One More Chance (remix)" is different altogether from the original song on the classic Ready to Die album.  It's one of the smoothest party jams ever as it samples Debarge's "Stay With Me" from 1983.  You can tell this is the beginning of the Bad Boy hey day as the video has numerous cameo's of the top artists of the day, including the label's own sizzling roster.  Craig Mack, Total, his wife Faith Evans, joined stars Mary J. Blige, SWV, Da Brat, Tyson Beckford, Uncle Luke, Queen Latifah, Jermaine Dupri, sporting the adidas soccer goalie jersey, amongst others.  How could I forget Puff with his Pelle Pelle jacket.
Of course, the video has the late Heavy D and Aaliyah.
     The original Throne holder will be remembered forever and this classic is timeless. It was released in 1994, with the infamous Hype Williams directing the video.  Makes me want to throw a house party! Baby, baby!
