Christopher George Latore Wallace, popularly known as Biggie Smalls or simply Biggie passed away.Always will love the Ready to Die album. "One More Chance", "Juicy","Hypnotize","What's Beef?","You're Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You)" and "Dangerous MC's" are just some of the songs that made me love this guy.

R.I.P Big Poppa!!

You know me like that.

Juicy imo is a top 5 greatest hiphop joint and certainly one of my favs. Ready to Die is one of the greatest hiphop albums with Life After Death not far behind. Definitely one of the top 3 mcs of all time imo

RIP

let me guess- 2Pac and Rakim are the other 2?

Very, very talented man. This shit that passes for rap today (yea Lil Wayne I'm looking at you) is a joke.

Kinda teared up hearing a Biggie mix on GCI this morning. Not ashamed to admit that, otherwise I'd post in that other read.

Same here, that's what got me thinking about it. Both GCI and 92.3 had one.

Yeah, I didn't realize today was the day until they started teasing the mix. 13 years sounds like such a long time.

I can't help but think about Hendrix, Lennon, Kurt, Tupac, and Biggie and not ask "what if"?

tabitha soren ftw.

Today's agenda, got the suitcase up in the Sentra
Go to room 112, tell 'em Blanco sent ya
Feel the strangest, if no money exchanges
I got these kids in Ranges, to leave them niggaz brainless
All they tote is stainless, you just remain as
calm as possible, make the deal go through
If not, here's 12 shots, we know how you do
Please make yo' killings clean, slugs up in between
they eyes, like "True Lies," kill 'em and flee the scene
Just bring back the coke or the cream
Or else, your life is on the shelf, we mean this Frank
Them cats we fuckin with put bombs in your mom's gas tank
Let's get this money baby, they shady, we get shady
Dress up like ladies and burn 'em with dirty 380's
Then they come to kill our babies, that's all out
I got gats that blow the wall out, clear the mall out
Fuck the fallout, word to Stretch I bet they pussy
The seven digits push me, fuckin real, here's the deal
I got a hundred bricks, fourteen-five apiece (uh-huh)
Enough to cop a six; buy the house on the beach (uh-huh)
Supply the peeps with Jeeps, brick apiece, capiche?
Everybody gettin cream no one considered them leech
Think about it now that's damn near one-point-five
I kill 'em all I'll be set for life, Frank pay attention
These motherfuckers is henchmen, renegades
If you die they still get paid, extra probably
Fuck a robbery, I'm the boss
Promise you won't rob 'em, I promise
But of course you know I had my fingers crossed
