“Big Poppa” amostra de forma marcante a música “Between the Sheets” dos The Isley Brothers (1983), escolha sugerida por P. Diddy ao planejar o álbum *Ready to Die*.
O beat, criado por Chucky Thompson e Nashiem Myrick na The Hit Factory, foi inicialmente entregue ao grupo Lost Boyz antes de ser recolhido por Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs em troca de outro instrumental que acabou em “Jeeps, Lex Coups, Bimaz & Benz” (1995).
Apesar de se tornar um dos maiores sucessos de The Notorious B.I.G., o próprio Biggie afirmou que não gostava muito de “Big Poppa”, que foi uma das últimas faixas gravadas para *Ready to Die*.
O videoclipe, filmado no final de 1994 e lançado na BET e MTV em 11 de dezembro, conta com participações de Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Craig Mack, Lil’ Kim, Busta Rhymes e Treach, reforçando sua conexão com a cena Bad Boy.
“Big Poppa” alcançou o 6.º lugar na Billboard Hot 100 em março de 1995, tornando‑se o primeiro top 10 de Biggie, e recebeu a certificação 6× Platinum pela RIAA.
A canção foi indicada ao Grammy de Melhor Performance Solo de Rap em 1996 e, anos depois, ficou nas listas da Rolling Stone (#52 na lista de 100 melhores hip‑hop e #331 na de 500 maiores músicas) e da CBS News como uma das 250 canções americanas essenciais.
