The Notorious B.I.G
The Notorious B.I.G also known as Biggie Smalls was another iconic Hip Hop artist who's music I really enjoy. He grew up in New York. Biggie grew up with no father and with a mother that worked two jobs. His song Juicy is about how his life had changed so much from when he was a kid to when he was rapping.
He started rapping when he was a teenager. He made a demo tape that was heard and liked by DJ Mister Cee and The Source. He was fetaured in The Sources article which was about aspiring artists.
In 1994 he released his debut album which was called Ready to Die and he became an iconic figure in East coast Hip Hop and he made east coast Hip Hop more noticed as at the time rappers such as Tupac, Dr.Dre and Snoop Doog were making West coast Hip Hop dominant at the time.
In June 1996 Tupac released a track called Hit 'Em Up' which was a diss track towards Biggie saying that he had copied his style and image. After Tupacs death many people thought that Biggie had something to do with it and that he had bought the gun used. Biggie was getting into a lot of trouble after this and he even managed to crash his car shattering his left leg leaving him having to use a cane to walk.
On March 9 1997 Biggie was shot 4 times in the chest while stopped at a red light coming form an event.
I think the music industry would be a lot better if Biggie and Tupac were still alive today and both rappers will both be remembered as the greatest Hip hop rappers ever in my opinion.
