Pay respects and appreciate the impact The Notorious B.I.G. left on this world.

R.I.P. B.I.G.
We'll always love Big Poppa

What if Biggie had lived long enough to have a baby with Bernie Sanders? i think the city’s walls would collapse from all the people scrambling to paint murals of this

I just recently got into hip hop and I think biggie's great.
I mean, he shows the typical black hip hop hypocrisy like any other black rapper but I love his lyrics and flow.

rare one of biggie, Nas, DJ Premier, Buckshot, Evil Dee, Steele & Tek.

Here's another very rare one of Biggie and Faith Evans. I wish I had an unwatermarked version.

favourite lyric of his?
I think mines
Super nintendo sega genesis when I was dead broke man I couldn't picture this

Recognize the pedigree

work on your humor kid, here's a pity (you)

Heres some from a well known photoshoot

Pretty damn Erie pic of him

I have several for different reasons. Some are my favorite rap-gritty lyrics like:
"Biggie Smalls on a higher plane
Niggas say I'm strange deranged because I put the 12 gauge to your brain
Make your shit splatter
Mix the blood like batter then my pocket gets fatter
After the hit, leave you on the street with your neck split
Down your backbone to where your motherfucking cheek drip
The shit I kick, ripping through the vest
Biggie Smalls passing any test, I'm ready to die!"
But for the lasting impact they leave, I'd go with something like:
"Damn right, I like the life I live
'Cause I went from negative to positive
And it's all good"
Then there's just lyrical lines which sound good when rolling off the tongue:
"Them rings and things you sing about, bring 'em out
it's hard to yell when the barrel's in your mouth"

good rare photo

I remember i hated the fact they took out the Up for the Down Stroke sample from Machine Gun Funk.
But now, i actually like the song without it.
Still think both versions are dope.
