Live from Bedford-Stuyvesant
The livest one,
Respresenting BK to the fullest...
Today in Hip Hop we remember arguably the greatest rapper to ever touch the mic. Born Christopher Wallace though known to the rap world as The Notorious B.I.G was gunned down 16 years from today in Los Angeles, CA at the age of 24 while promoting his sophomore album and 2nd classic he unfortunately never got the chance to see the success of. Through his short tenure in Hip Hop Biggie showed through his smooth flow and witty delivery that he was a man ahead of his time whose loss was detrimental to the genre.
While Hip Hop's 80's generation ages and becomes the new old school, its imperative for the younger generations that succeed to know there history and be aware of those who paved the way for today's artist's they admire.
