We have a problem.

As I see it, between Life After Death, No Way Out, and Harlem World there's easily 7 or 8 tracks. Maybe more.

Hypnotize
10 Crack Commandments
Sky's The Limit
The Benjamins
Victory
Been Around The World
Feels So Good
24 Hours To Live
We'll Always Love Big Poppa
I'll Be Missing You

Plus there's another 2 or 3 tracks you could pick from Life After Death.

It might be easier to do a top 15 tracks from Bad Boy in 1997 and another top 15 tracks from every other label.

Here's an interesting project. It doesn't have a date but I think it came out in 1997 or 1998 due to the track listing. It's basically a bunch of Canibus Freestyles along with How We Roll, which was on the b-side to 2nd Round KO, although How We Roll was also released on a white label promo in 1997.

Anyway, here's some of the freestyles








And if none of those freestyles count;

I was gonna say, 'We'll Always Love Big Popppa' >>> I'll Be Missing You
