“Mo Money Mo Problems” is the Grammy Nominated second single & tenth track on the first disc of the Notorious B.I.G. album, Life After Death. It features guest vocals from Mase and Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs. The instrumental contains a sample of the Diana Ross song “I’m Coming Out”. The refrain, sung by Kelly Price, goes “I don’t know what they want from me, It’s like the more money we come across, the more problems we see”.
The single, released posthumously, topped the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks in 1997. It replaced “I’ll Be Missing You”, which is Puff Daddy’s song about the death of Notorious B.I.G. This is Notorious B.I.G’s second posthumous number one single, a record which has never been equaled. The song was nominated for a Grammy in 1998 for Best Rap Callaboration by a Duo or Group.
