Brooklyn's Beloved

Christopher Wallace, Aka Biggie Smalls, Aka The Notorious BIG, Aka Frank White, was The biggest thing, literally and figuratively, to ever come out of Brooklyn. He was an american rapper from New York and he started at a very young age. He started selling crack on the streets and during that time he would spit him rhymes to his friends and he got really good at it. After that he had his first rap battle at the age of 19 and that is when he first got heard by people he didnt know. Thats is when he got to go and meet Puff Daddy, the producer of Bad Boy Records. Puffy got him alot of shows and gigs and he ended up getting signed when he turned 21. He ended up getting arrested for selling crack to a undercover cop and he went to jail for 2 and a half years. He got out when he was 21 and a half. Then his career sky rocketed and he became really famous. Then there became a whole East Coast West Coast dispute between Biggie and Tupac after Tupac got shot at Biggies recording studio. Tupac believed Biggie set him up but he never did. Then when Biggie turned 25, he was tradgically shot and killed in a drive-by shooting on March 9th, 1997 in L.A. Like Tupac, people loved him and his music and it is still listened to today. So in a way both Biggie and Tupac lived on threw their music. I preffer Biggies music to Tupac because I just liked Biggies better. Tell me who you like after you read this.

  1. I agree with you. I like Biggie's music way better than Tupac. My favorite song by Biggie is "Juicy". I think that is his best song along with "Who Shot Ya?". It sucks that Tupac and Biggie were killed becaise of the East coast West coast thing

  2. I agree with you that those are two of his best songs. I also think that his songs, Notorious Thugz, "Goin Back to Cali", and "Suicidal Thoughts" are also some of his best songs.
