Bad Boy 4 Life - It was announced this week that in honor of Biggie's 44th birthday on May 20, Puff Daddy will reunite with his family and many Bad Boy affiliates for a "one night only" reunion show at Brooklyn's Barclay's Arena. The list of announced acts already combines Bad Boy 1.0 with Bad Boy 2.0 as everyone from Total to French Montana will be in attendance. Even friends like Jay Z and Mary J. Blige are scheduled to appear, as well as (drumroll) a potential Biggie hologram. So yes, the set list in our minds is already brewing with the classics. We know "Mo Money, Mo Problems" will happen, "No Time," and the list goes on. But how about those other jams? You know, the ones that had our b-sides rattling and kept us fueled in between the hits?

The Notorious B.I.G. & Tupac Shakur - 'Runnin' (Prod. Eminem)' - Hey look, if Big gets a hologram maybe Pac can too, and we can therefore get that dream collaboration poppin. Eminem can show up with an MPC and have the whole audience crying. (Photos from left: Al Pereira/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images, Ron Galella, Ltd./WireImage)

Diddy-Dirty Money f. Rick Ross & Nicki Minaj - 'Hello Good Morning Remix' - OK, this is a stretch given the continuous beef between Lil' Kim and Nicki Minaj. But if Kim can mend fences with Faith Evans, then anything is possible, right? Picture this joint popping off and Kim coming on stage to rap alongside Nicki. Two queens on one stage. It's like the BQE coming to life. (Photos from left: Ethan Miller/Getty Images for iHeartMedia, Scott Dudelson/Getty Images)

Juvenile f. Jay Z - 'Ha Remix' - OK look, while we're on the subject of dreams here, let's throw in some time for Jay Z to unearth some retro vibes and bring Juvie on the stage. We'll even let Puff come and do the ad libs. Cash Money meets Bad Boy meets Roc-A-Fella. It's a #TBT dream come true.

Lil Kim - 'Dreams' - Same premise as Biggie's. All of the guys Kim mentions on her version of this track out on stage with her. How preposterous is THAT? (Photo: Ethan Miller/Getty Images for iHeartMedia)

Diddy f. Nas - 'Hate Me Now' - OK, let's get back to reality before we close this one up. Nasir can come through: he's like a borough away. This can happen. Will it, though? (Photos from left: JLN Photography/WENN, Kimberly White/Getty Images for Hennessy)
