Bad Boy Forever

Mixtape 1996

Diddy Bad Boy Mixtape Vol. 3

Release year
1996
Tracks

Label
Tape Kingz

Stretch Armstrong mixes the third tape, hosted by Puff Daddy: freestyles from The LOX with Biggie, Jay-Z, AZ and Foxy Brown, and Total's "No One Else" remix.

The third of four mixtapes Bad Boy put out in 1995 and 1996. Puff Daddy hosted them and a New York DJ mixed each one: DJ Clue?, Doo Wop, Stretch Armstrong and DJ S&S. They were sold on cassette through mixtape shops such as Tape Kingz rather than in record stores, and each side plays as one continuous mix, so the tracks have no lengths.

Discogs also lists a 1996 CD-R copy with the same track list on Bad Boy Entertainment (Discogs).
