"Notorious B.I.G." is a song and single by The Notorious B.I.G. from the album Born Again, which features Puff Daddy and Lil' Kim. As a tribute song, Puff Daddy and Lil' Kim's verses have little relevance to Biggie's verse, which is about being in the hospital while being comforted by attractive female nurses. It samples the song "Notorious" by Duran Duran.

The video consists of Puff Daddy inviting a security guard (played by Tracy Morgan) to a party, and a traffic jam, and a big party in the end glorifying The Notorious B.I.G. It features cameos from 98 Degrees, Krayzie Bone, Thug Queen, Wish Bone, Missy Elliott, Nas, Jennifer Lopez, Mase, Lil' Cease and others. Puff Daddy was also the director of the video.
