Biggie Day-March 9th

The very first time I heard Biggie Smalls was in 1992 on  the soundtrack to the movie "Who's The Man?." The record was called "Party & BullSh*t." I have never heard a voice like Christopher Wallace's and I became a fan instantly. Fast forward it to 1994, his debut album "Ready To Die" was released on Sean Comb's Label "Bad Boy Records" and my life changed. I was writing and recording raps before I ever heard of Biggie. But once I got a chance to listen & meditate to his classic debut album, I wanted to write some of the illest rhymes ever. Biggie was that "mc" who made me go to the store to re-up on writing tablets just to write. Not since Q-tip,Big Daddy Kane, C.L Smooth & Redman(4 of my top 5 rappers of all time) have I encountered an "mc" who lyrically forced me to step up my writing game. Biggie was that dude. I pay homage to the late great "mc" with this blog. For those who dont know about "Frank White", read this write up courtesy of wikipedia.com:
Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997) was an American rapper. He was popularly known as Biggie Smalls (after a character in the 1975 film Let's Do It Again), Big Poppa. and The Black Frank White (after the main character of the 1990 film King of New York),^[1] but primarily by his stage name The Notorious B.I.G..
Wallace was raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. When Wallace released his debut album Ready to Die in 1994, he became a central figure in the East Coast hip-hop scene and increased New York's visibility at a time when West Coast artists were more common in the mainstream.^[2] The following year, Wallace led his childhood friends to chart success through his protégé group, Junior M.A.F.I.A.. While recording his second album, Wallace was heavily involved in the East Coast/West Coast hip-hop feud, dominating the scene at the time.
On March 9, 1997, Wallace was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. His double-disc set Life After Death, released 15 days later, hit #1 on the U.S. album charts and was certified Diamond in 2000 (one of the few hip hop albums to receive this certification).^[3] Wallace was noted for his "loose, easy flow",^[4] dark semi-autobiographical lyrics and storytelling abilities. Since his death, a further two albums have been released. MTV ranked him at #3 on their list of The Greatest MCs (Rappers) of All Time.^[5] He has certified sales of 17 million units in the United States.^{[6]
