I'm back to share a small bit of Notorious B.I.G's life:

Christopher George Latore Wallace (Notorious B.I.G ) also known as Biggie smalls after staring in "Lets Do It Again". He became a star after releasing his debut album "Ready To Die" in 1994 and brought east coast hip hop back to the mainstream were west coast hip hop was more famous at the time. Due to this there was a big rivalry between the east and west coast which Tupac and Wallace were heavily involved in and both ended up getting murdered because of it. Biggie Smalls was murdered on March 9, 1997, after being ranked by MTV as being in the top three best rappers of all time and selling 17 million units in the U.S.A. Next post I will be talking about the life of the rapper Tupac Shakur.
