BizzyBlanco.com would like to recognize the life and times of one of the greatest rappers to ever live Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G (My favorite rapper of all time). unfortunately his life was cut short some 16 years ago but his legacy will live on through his timeless music he unselfishly shared with the world.
I can always remember sitting on my bed and watching MTV News and hearing Kurt Loder (I guess I’m telling my age lol) report that Biggie had been shot out in LA and was pronounced dead shortly thereafter. If you were ‘up’ on the music scene back then like me then you already were aware of the beef between the ‘east’ and ‘west’ coast so for Big going out to LA was like walking into a death wish as he ventured out into enemy territory.
That era in music was so classic with “Life After Death’ being so monumental in telling the life and times of someone who despite being ‘Ready To Die’ had discovered living life was far more important.

We’ll always miss you BIG. May the music you left inspire and influence a new breed of talented MC’s who can carry on the tradition of delivering great music for generations to come keeping the spirit of hip hop alive. (34)
