It's time to celebrate the legacy of the best rapper that ever did it. Notorious BIG wasn't just a rapper, he was a storyteller, a prolific poet, and through his words, persona, life and music he opened doors and opportunies for Hip-Hop as a whole. The of Greatest Hits denotes the commemoration of one of the most historic bodies of work in Hip-Hop.

As Southern mountaineers and farmers moved into an industrialized era of coal mines and weaving mills their rural songs evolved to express the confrontation with new modes of life and the ensuing conflicts. This album chronicles just that through songs originating in the 1920s and 1930s demonstrating a mix of styles and influences brought to older folk modes with modern subject matters (machines, cars etc.). Producer John Cohen says in the liner notes InchThe study of folklore is not simply to preserve the past, but to make the present more comprehensible.Inch
