Reviews:

''Duets: The Final Chapter'' (sometimes referred as The Biggie Duets) is a remix posthumous album and the final record by The Notorious B.I.G. The album was released by Bad Boy Records on December 20, 2005 and charted at #3 selling 438,000 copies, beaten by the extremely high sales of Jamie Foxx's ''Unpredictable'' and Mary J Blige's ''The Breakthrough''. In the UK it climbed as high as #13 after the release of the album's first single "Nasty Girl". It is his third posthumous album that went platinum and is said to be his last album of mainly new material.

The album featured orchestrated duets between Biggie and a number of popular rappers and singers, much like the previous LP ''Born Again'' (1999). Biggie's lyrics come from studio scraps of many of the best songs during his life (his verse from "Notorious Thugs" in "Spit Your Game"), along with some very hard-to-find lyrics (a freestyle from a promotional tape on "Hustler's Story"), & unreleased material (Biggie's verse in "Living in Pain" comes from an unreleased song from Ready to Die called "House of Pain") all remixed into duets. The package also included a DVD featuring previously unreleased performance footage and several of Biggie's music videos.

An unofficial video was made for the song Whatchu Want by 33Post.com featuring an unreleased live performance superimposed in a digital Time Square. - Wikipedia
