The notorious B.I.G.

R&B and Hip Hop Forum

Anyone remember this guy?

He name was Christopher Wallace or a.k.a Biggie Smalls, who was born in a poor section of Brooklyn.

His mom was a preschool teacher.

He dropped out of High School when he was seventeen.

He sold crack on the streets for income.

Sean 'P.Diddy' Combs signed biggie to his new label 'Bad Boy Records'

Tupac had an affair with his wife Faith Evans.

There was a war between the two coast that Notorious B.I.G. wanted ended.

Biggie was 24 when he died.

I remember this man.

"Who the **** is this,
pagin' me at five forty-six in the mornin'?
crack o' dawnin
now I'm yawnin
wipe the cold out my eyes,
see who's this pagin me, and why..."

Biggie Smalls was awesome. How could anyone forget him?

yeah
this album is dedicated to all the teachers that told me I'd never amount to nothin'
to all the people that lived above me in the buildings I was hustlin' in front of callin' the police on me when I was just tryin' to make some money to feed my daughter
and all the n!ggas in the struggle
ya know what I'm sayin?
ha!
it's all good baby, baby

I never even heard of him until 1997 when the tabloids went crazy of his death.

I'd never heard of him until P Diddy and Faith Evans butchered "Every Step You Take". I'd never heard of Faith Evans until then either. All she does is cash in on Biggy's death. All her songs now mention him in some form or the other.
