Wikipedia article
"'Dead Wrong'" is a song by American rapper the Notorious B.I.G., taken from his third overall album, 'Born Again'. It can be found in many other albums outside of 'Born Again', these being the deluxe edition of Eminem's 2005 greatest hits album 'Curtain Call: The Hits', Biggie's 2007 album 'Greatest Hits', Bad Boy's 2016 box set album 'Bad Boy 20th Anniversary Box Set Edition' and the soundtrack album for the 2021 Netflix documentary 'Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell'. The song features background vocals from Diddy and rap vocals from Eminem, and it was released as a single posthumously in 1999.
Critical reception
It was received positively by music critics. 'Rolling Stone' wrote a positive overview: "The only real find here is the awesome "Dead Wrong," which shows B.I.G. in his prime." 'A.V. Club' wrote that Eminem is a highlight.
Music video
The video was set out in a similar manner to Tupac's song "Changes", which was released in 1998, in the fact that it features clips of Biggie performing live, in interviews, clips of his music videos and showing pictures of him. Eminem appears in the video in a separate clip, rapping his lyrics in the style of a freestyle video submission. The YouTube version of the video doesn't feature him.
In other media
This song was mashed up with Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" from the 2006/2007 mixtape 'Rock Phenomenon', which features the alternate second verse coming from the Notorious B.I.G. in legacy. The line "relax and take notes" is also put in a mix for the mixtape introduction, provided and contributed by DJ Vlad & Roc Raida with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda as the host for the album.
