artRaver 3,188 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 His songs and Tupac used to scare the shït out of me because they talked about death like bitch I'm trying to listen to the beat not hear about your funeral arrangements and my wild imagination running later that night. Now as an adult though I like Suicidal Thoughts practically how I feel in a song during my #derktimes. ✿ cherry blossom girl ✿ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
peto flex 2,641 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 he is #1 in Billboard's Best Rappers List 1. Notorious B.I.G. Death at a young age can often elevate a rapper from modern-day star to bona fide legend. But Notorious B.I.G. already attained the latter status early on his career. His storytelling rhymes mined straight from his experiences in the Brooklyn streets materialized on 1994’s insta-classic Ready to Die, a wild mosaic of vividly visual rhymes delivered with the expertise of a linguistic master. By the time his group album with Junior M.A.F.I.A. dropped the following year, and his ambitious sophomore double-disc album Life After Death bowed just six days after his passing in March 1997, he’d already earned his title as the greatest rapper of all time. Unlike everyone else on this list, Biggie never dropped a single bad song, or a single errant bar. Jay Z at 2 💎💎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

migamiga 12,101 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 I've always loved Biggie's music. Tbh I connect with it more than Tupac's (and I'm from the West Coast ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinTrudeau 2,419 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 My older brother is a huge fan of him, so I grew up listening to his songs. I admire him because he worked hard from the bottom up to get to his level of success. It spooks me that his album "Life After Death" was set to released a days after. Even though he knew he was leading a risky life, it's still mind boggling for me. R.I.P Biggie I fell down the stairs once as an actor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
