Commemorating the 15th anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G.’s death, Diddy recently reflected on his favorite song off of 1997’s Life After Death. During an interview with MTV News, Puff took a few moments to pick his choice cut from the classic double-disc LP, settling on a solid cut.
“Aww man, Life After Death? It would probably have to be …,” Diddy said. ” ‘My Downfall,’ ‘My Downfall’ is my favorite joint.”
Diddy also revealed that he will release a remastered version of Life After Death to give something back to the people. He made a similar move with Ready to Die in 2004 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the album’s release. Though there are no concrete plans to release a LAD remaster, he explained that it’s his way of remembering Big on his 15th anniversary.
“We basically gonna let it rock, we have promoted it, promoted his legacy through movies, documentaries, albums, remixed albums, new albums and now it’s time for the fans to have it,” he said. “On the 15th anniversary, we’ll definitely make sure that there is a remastered copy out there, but besides that we’re not gonna do anything extra to extra push it. People are buying that album every day. It’s a classic album and they’re gonna keep on buying it.”

you are even more arrogant and stupid than diddy.
LOL. Thanks for making my day. Wayne appeals to fucking retards. That’s all.
Are you smoking crack
Insted of street goons Weezy has internet trolls, nice. Still unnecessary to feed them.
Prolly 11 yrs. old…and obviously ride the small bus to skool with a big ass helmet on too…find the nearest mirror and slap da shit outta yaself…
Please commit suicide. Please
1. Find a moving bus 2. Jump in front of the moving bus, faggot
you guys feed into this already knowing what you might hear and already knowing the obvious, that carter3 isnt better
Next time just ignore this SO ICY BOI the more replys he get the more ignorant posts he gonna post!
Yall are dumb af. tha carter 3 straight classic RTD aint got shit
swagger
ready to die was way better. cant believe i ever thought life after death was a better album, its really good, but the wordplay isnt as good and its far too long.
Wrong. LAD shows growth and is a classic.
Sorry, champ. LAD>Ready to Die.
I don’t know ya’ll I still havn’t made a decision on which one I like the best. love both albums. But I do feel like RTD was more of a street album i guess but still Hip-Hop and LAD was more Hip-Hop if that makes sense lol. like i said though still can’t decide.
Nobody’s still buying this album. Stop using this man’s name to put money in your pocket. Go out and find the next Biggie so you can befriend, exploit and ultimately set him up to die.
If anyone would know if the album is still selling or not it would be the owner of the record label that it was released on and not an anonymous blog commenter.
big time news right here!
this nigga still living off of biggies name
ALTHOUGH HE MAY, BIGGIE’S KIDS ARE LIVING OFF THE SPINS AND ALBUM SALES TOO. SLIPPERY SLOPE IT IS. DON’T FORGET THAT WHEN YOU TYPE THAT HATE.
^agree but to be fair those those are his kids
but it was still a stupid remark anyway because lets be real diddy does not need biggie to stay relevant or make money. we all know that
His kids get loot from the album sales, perhaps. Let’s go ahead and say that they do. Benefit of the doubt entirely.
But who will get the most money when it’s all said and done?
Yes. The owner.
(shaking my head)
It needs to stop eventually. It really does.
IT’S ACTUAL FACT MAMA WALLACE CONTROLS BIGGIE’S ESTATE. I EVEN REMEMBER HER DEADIN’ KIM ON A BIGGIE SAMPLE.
SO IN ALL ACTUALITY, IT IS NEEDED FOR PUFF TO ENDORSE THE CATALOG FOR HIM AND THEM. THE “BENJAMINS” SPRINKLIN’ IN “SHOT CALLER” PAYS THEM BOTH.
SLIPPERY SLOPE IT IS.
So if Diddy told you Black Rob’s first album was still selling out in stores back East would you believe him? Biggie’s gone, but when are you ready to die?
“If anyone would know if the album is still selling or not it would be the owner of the record label that it was released on and not an anonymous blog commenter.”
^ and I will add Ms. Wallace, Amazon, iTunes, Soundscan would know if LAD is still selling. Are you a part of the aforementioned, employed by the Bad Boy label that sees the paperwork, or are you still that anonymous blog commenter?
YOU said “Nobody’s still buying this album”. Prove it.
why remaster the old shit…you tellin’ me there isn’t an album or two of shit we ain’t heard…
So can we expect some new unreleased joints on the LAD annversary album????
and the haters are still praying diddy….
I think I will check Amazon Corky. Hmmmm… Let’s see. Interestingly enough, only one album (Born Again) seems to be in demand, with 5 copies left in stock. Not Ready to Die. Not Life After Death. Not even his greatest hits. So as usual, I’m right, while you’re somewhere out in left field.
the full inventory numbers of the album to even say it was “in demand” because there are 5 copies left is…………………………………………………………………………you don’t know. Let us know when you get that paperwork from Puff and Ms Wallace.
AYE Y’ALL BEEN GOIN’ BACK & FORTH AND THE 1ST ANONYMOUS AIN’T PROVE SH!T YET. I DUNNO WHAT WORLD U LIVE IN BUT ON THIS EARTH THAT MEANS U R TALKIN’ SH!T. DA FCUK IS A CORKY THO? IS THAT LAME NERD DIALECT?
Notorious Thugs that track was the best song on Life After Death (in my opinion)
YES!! but i feel like they should release a newer remastered version of RTD again with LAD so they both sound good and get the modern day remastered treatment release ’em on the same day. and no censored versions like the 04 remasterd version of RTD either.
puffy killed biggie
you’re nobody till somebody kills you
puff didnt kill BIG suge didnt kill BIG ,,BIG was only killed to make pac killing look like what it looked like to you morons , east west ,,pac was the real target ,, but when it was learned that pac an BIG would squash there so called beef publicly ,, that wasnt nothing to promote ,, 2 well respected black kings squashing there beef ,,whatevea why am i talking to you lowlifes
So now you know? LOL …. You should change your name to Idiot. and you have to be a low life acting like you know what happened between two grown men. You can only be hypothetical, but that’s probably too big of a word for a wannabe king.LOL
your idol jay is the wanna be king ,me i just wanna be cool with my GOD
Young money dick> Bad boy dick
I know cause i’ve sucked both of them.
Puffy didnt even stay with the body in LA after his friend got shot to death! Caught the first plane back to NY – and thats your boy BIG – shouldva picked your friends more carefully christopher
Ms. Wallace probably hasn’t seen paperwork in years. No way I believe she’s been kept in the loop with Diddy. You already got served, now I see your boyfriend Schwarz is back trying to defend you. Do you have no shame?
