With Biggie getting his own Street, we can not forget that his case remains officially unsolved. As all of you know the Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker Biggie film "City of Lies" about Police Corruption in the Biggie case was shelved indefinitely due to studio issues. Well the film was released in a film festival earlier this year and got a great response. The Author who worked with Russell Poole on the case to create the Book "LAbyrinth" is back. He has written a sequel to the "City of Lies" story and even named the Book after one Big's songs. It's getting ready to drop next week. They need to stop playing and release "City of Lies" on streaming if it isn't coming to the theater.

Sixteen years ago, Randall Sullivan’s groundbreaking book, LAbyrinth, explored the role the Los Angeles Police Department may have played in the 1997 murder of Christopher Wallace, the legendary rapper known as Notorious B.I.G. At the time of his death, Wallace was embroiled in an ongoing beef with West Coast rap figures at Death Row Records. Sullivan’s investigations, published in the pages of Rolling Stone and in his 2002 book, indicated that officers inside the LAPD were moonlighting as security for Death Row Records and may have been involved in arranging a hit on Notorious B.I.G.

In the years since LAbyrinth was released, the story has been made into a film, City of Lies, directed by Brad Furman, while Sullivan continued his investigation into the murder and the cover-up. His new book, Dead Wrong (Atlantic Monthly Press, June, 2019), details evidence of a wide-ranging effort involving some of the most powerful men in law enforcement to cover-up the murder of Biggie Smalls and to quash a civil lawsuit the Wallace family estate has filed against the City of Los Angeles, a suit that could potentially cost the city hundreds of millions of dollars.

In the following exclusive excerpt, Sullivan chronicles the work of Phil Carson, the FBI special agent assigned to investigate links between LAPD police corruption cases and Wallace’s murder. Carson’s investigation was undermined by members of the LAPD, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles, and a reporter for the Los Angeles Times named Chuck Phillips. While Carson’s investigation was ongoing, a Times story written by Philips outed a key FBI informant connected to the case. After that article was published, family members of the informant were shot in drive-by incidents. Carson believed that details of the case were being leaked to Philips by the deputy chief of the LAPD, Michael Berkow.

The Commission super group too with Jay, Fakkit Daddy, Lance ‘Un’ Rivera, Cease & Charli Baltimore.

If Pac lives & Big formed that group & Pac did the whole one nation album it’s a massive divide between east & west

Who you see Nas siding with?
Wu tang?

It’s interesting to speculate on

Pac's one nation album was gonna be a big flop and not be as massive as people thought. By the time 98-99 rolled around, no one was caring about political type of music and it would've came and went. Harsh truth but if you lived it during that time, you'd see my claim is not far fetched. That east/west sh*t would've fizzled out and Pac would've immediately abandon ship and go something more commercial.

Dont think that one nation would have flipped seeing as bone thugs(thug luv was for this album), scarface, dungeon family, nas, the roots, dpgc, snoop, wu tang, etc were all gonna appear on this double LP.

 

[DOGGFATHER96]

I do wonder how charli Baltimore career would have turned out?

would've had one hell of a debut with BIG leading the way. Probably would've been seen in a different light as well. BIG had the golden touch and was gonna change so many artist's lives with the way he'd executive produced certain albums.

IT'S OFFICIAL........THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. INDUCTED IN THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME OFF 1ST BALLOT

"More Guns than Roses Foes is Shakin in their Boots"

This is how Legendary those 2 LP's "Ready To Die and "Life after Death" are in not just Hip Hop but Music History. THE GOAT! Also Biggie had some Rock collabo's in his catalog too.



"Victory (Nine Inch Nails Remix)" (Produced by Trent Reznor)



"Benji's (Rock Remix)" Featuring Rob Zombie, Dave Grohl and Fuzzbubble.



"Wake Up" Featuring Korn

The Fall Off - Almost undeniable... i mean in the history of rap there are probably the only artist who can be considered to never have truly fallen off is Eminem and Jigga... and both have often been sited as having a huge decrease in passion/effort/final product... so just based off statistics we have to assume biggie woulda fallen off eventually... my personal perspective is hip hop was already turning on big time right before his death, so i think it woulda been earlier rather later

Nah. Life After Death laid the blueprint for early 2000s rap. He and Pac basically invented the mainstream thug lane. Jay Z was already connected with Just Blaze and Kanye. Not a chance Biggie doesnt hop on some classic soul beats. And New York was extremelyyy hot in the early 2000s. Even Ja Rule had a smash hit .

Once the South starts moving the needle, he falls off.

Then he drops them grown man bars in 2014 to universal acclaim.

Chills for a while.

Does a couple Griselda features and an Alchemist album.

Joint EP with Gibbs and Madlib

I don't think Biggie's career would've panned out like this at all. In fact, I think he would've embraced The South and The South would've embraced him. If Biggie didn't follow through with retiring after dropping his 3rd album, I think Biggie would've have still had a crazy run throughout The South's dominance. Take Rick Ross for example, he caught a second wind when he started maximizing on his Biggie influence.

 

[Tommy Gibbs]

New York rap in the mid 2000s could've been VERY different if BIG was still alive

How? Big would have continued to put out albums in which half were great and the other half was shyt Zouffycwanted him to do until he was doing whole albums of Puffy material.

Me too. Big was one of those artists that you know would've collabed with all regions; especially southern artists. He was a fan of hip hop in general

I think we definitely would've seen him & Scarface on a track in the 90's. When Mase dropped Harlem World in 97 he had a track with 8Ball & MJG so those southern collabs were gonna come

"Lyrically I'm supposed to represent, I'm not only a Client, I'm the Playa President"
"Went for 10k to 24k and Mothaf*ckas Hate it, JM Sedated, Quarantine. Big for President, lickin shots at ya splean"


A Couple "President" bars from Big as he's inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame the same day as Joe Biden was elected President. As his Life After Death continues....Big's music has truly stood the test of time. He's one of the Most if not The Most Sampled Rapper in Music History. On November 7th, The Notorious B.I.G. became the 7th Rap Artist in Music History to be Inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Run DMC, Public Enemy, Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, N.W.A., Beastie Boys and Tupac Shakur). He was awarded a rare First Ballot Entry. "Ready To Die" and "LIfe After Death" remain two of the Greatest Albums Ever in Any Genre. And Just this year, DJ Enuff and Pepsi linked up to Finally release Biggie's "Pepsi" Freestyle. They edited it but it was cool to see it officially released by Pepsi.



Anyways Congrats Big. Huge Award and proves Quality will always supersede Quantity. Statik Selectah Dropped a dope track called "b*stard Child" this year as well. It featured an unreleased Outtake Verse from "Somebody's Got To Die".



Rock & Roll was created by Black Americans and it's only right Big get in because he could ROCK WITH ANYONE, lol. Check out the interviews from the Awards Ceremony:

(Biggie was Inducted along with the Iconic and Legendary Whitney Houston)
