Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), popularly known as Biggie Smalls (after a gangster in the 1975 film Let's Do It Again),Big Poppa, Frank White (from the film King of New York), and his primary stage name, The Notorious B.I.G., was an American artist well-known for his smooth rapping and hip hop music.
Born in Brooklyn, New York City, New York, Biggie grew up during the peak years of the 1980s crack epidemic and started dealing drugs from an early age. When Biggie debuted with the 1994 record Ready to Die, he was a central figure in the East Coast and increased New York's viability at a time when hip hop was mostly dominated by West Coast artists. The following year, Biggie led his childhood friends to chart success through his protégé group, Junior M.A.F.I.A.
While recording his second album, Biggie was heavily involved in the East Coast-West Coast hip hop feud dominating the scene at the time. On March 9, 1997, he was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, California. His double-disc set Life After Death, released fifteen days later, hit #1 on the U.S. album charts and was certified Diamond in 2000. Biggie was noted for his "loose, easy flow", dark semi-autobiographical lyrics and storytelling abilities. Since his death, a further two albums have been released and he has been described by the media as one of the greatest rappers.…Read full biography

Only a couple of Albums and hes a Legend... Just Imagine if they didnt take him away so early......
tru tru tru He was way a head of his time i still feel that his lyrics are way superior compared to any one thats relivant today...
Tuff + raw lyrics, undeniable + crazy flow, Biggie Smalls.
So much talent displayed in such a short amount of time. Top 3 all time, easliy imo. Also one of the most bitten rappers of all time. Shhhhhitt you got niggas that steal his lines *cough Jay, Lil Wayne, Foxy, Kim cough* but you also got niggas that steal his whole image *cough Gurilla Black cough*.
Truly one of the greatest lyricists ever, had hands down the best flow ever, and could switch from commercial to conscience rap with the best of them.
Ps: It's about time you made a BIG profile Jokesta. LOL
That's crazy though it's sometimes good he died and bad because he would have not made young guyz have a chance with the lyrics he got and all the stuff him in pac do is an amount not to see T.I and UNK.
only the Good Die Young!!!
R.I.P
from ashy to classy
It took yall long enuff!!! "black ugly as ever" but still one of the GOATS. Damn i aint kno he was younger than Jay.
[Notorious B.I.G.]
I make yo' mouthpiece obese like Della Reese
When I release, you loose teeth like Lil' Cease
Nigga please, blood floods yo' Dungarees
And that's just the half on my warpath
Laugh now cry later, I rhyme greater
than the average playa hater, and spectators
buy my CD twice; they see me in the streets
They be like, "Yo he nice, but that's on the low doe"
Be the cats with no dough, tried to play me at my show
I pull out fo'-fo's, and go up in they clothes
Short-change niggaz, snort-caine niggaz
Extortion came quicker, bought the Range nigga
Ya still tickle me, I used to be as strong as Ripple be
til Lil' Cease crippled me
Now I play hard, like my girls nipples be
The game sour like like a pickle be, y'all know da rules
Move from BK to New Jeruz -- thinkin bout
all the planes we flew, bitches, we ran through
Now the year's new, I lay my game flat
I want my spot back, take two
Motherfuckers mad cause I blew, niggaz envious
Too many niggaz on my dick, shit strenuous
When my men bust, you just move wit such stamina
Slugs missed ya, I ain't mad at cha (we ain't mad at cha)
Blood rushin, concussions, ain't nothin
Catch cases, come out frontin, smokin somethin
Sippin White Russians, bitch in the Benz bumpin
I laced it wit the basic, six TV's a system
Knockin Mase shit, face it, we hard to hit
Guard ya shit, 'fore I stick you, for your re-up
Wipe the pee up, mixed shots, woke your seed up
Go in the ashtray, spark the weed up, LONG KISS
