Still BIG!

Ain't nobody bigger than Biggie Smalls.

This is the 25th anniversary of the tragic murder of Christopher Wallace, best known as the Notorious B.I.G. 

Biggie Smalls, one of the greatest rappers in history was gunned down in Los Angeles as he and his entourage were heading to an award show after party.

The 24 year old entertainer death still remains unsolved. 

The Los Angeles Police Department still has an open case on the murder. Biggie was engaged in a high profile feud with his former ally Tupac Shakur. This was highly publicized by the junk food media. The East Coast vs. West Coast feud was some of the most controversial events in hip-hop.

Bad Boy and Death Row were engaged in a high profile feud and it pitted many acts on the label feuding one another. Death Row didn't just go after Bad Boy, but artists like Jay-Z, Nas, Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, The Fugees, Chino XL, Junior M.A.F.I.A., Lil' Kim, and others.

The whole ordeal was publicized and written about. It was considered one of the worst moments in hip-hop, but also one of the best periods in sales for corporations.

Some still consider the death as a retaliation. His death came six months after the fatal shooting of Tupac on September 13, 1996. He was shot on September 6 after leaving a Mike Tyson fight in Las Vegas.

Some claim that Marion "Big Suge" Knight orchestrated a hit on the Biggie Smalls.

Christopher George Latore Wallace was born on May 21, 1972 in Brooklyn, New York. He was the father of two. He had a daughter named T'yanna and son Chris, Jr (CJ).

Anyway, Biggie Smalls blew up in 1994 when he released Ready to Die.

Produced by Sean "Puffy" Combs, Heavy D and "D-Dot Madd Rapper" Deric Angelettie, the album took hip-hop by storm. 

His death came 16 days before the release of Life After Death. The album was a double disc and it was an instant hit with the junk food media. It was the truest music I've ever heard.
