The Greatest Rapper of All-Time Died on March 9th: 20 Year Anniversary of Biggie's Passing

[Aje]

The difference with Big was he was already the illest in the game & was still ascending. Whether he died or not LAD was moving units. Maybe even more if he had a chance to promote it & drop videos for all of the singles he planned

did he or Puff ever say what singles they initially wanted to drop?

Why doesnt Big Pun get any shine?

I know bro. What about Big L? Or even Easy E?

The only one I can think of off top was I love the dough with Jay. That would've been a huge single, especially with the Commission being formed.

Rest In Peace to the Late Great Francis M.H. White

 

[Roovers410]

He was truely the greatest.

I'll never forget hearing Hypnotize the first time when I was 13 years old.

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

Big was a great rapper but not the greatest

R.I.P to the G.O.A.T

Pac & Nas stan first, but I gotta pay respects to one of the Greats

One of my favorite songs ever
RIP Christopher Wallace

 

[Billy Ocean]

I'm telling you as time goes by I'm starting to see more and more idiots try to discredit BIG's MC genius. I'm gonna start negging these nikkas onsite. Christopher Wallace was the most well rounded MC there ever was. The Blueprint of MCs. R.I.P to the God. 20 years...damn.

2 classics and many classic features gtoh with the negativity

Just kicking the facts

 

[Roovers410]

Miss him!

 

[Cadillac]

Not a Biggie fan

Everyday struggle in my all time top 10 songs/tracks.

Gimmie the loot, machine gun funk , i fukk with heavy

RIP

Biggie took over the game when Juicy dropped. No one saw it coming. Wu Tang was killing it, Jerus name was ringing bells, Black Moon was making noise and The streets of NYC had it in the air that Nas was that new nikka. Then outta nowhere Biggie drops Juicy....and then Unbelievable. The first version of Unbelievable was Biggie freestyling the song with Puffy singing on the chorus "Its Unbelevable" and Biggie actually saying "Biggie Smalls Is The Illest" Months laster the album version that everyone knows was soon in the streets heavy. It was all eyes on Biggie. By the end of the year it was Meth neck and Neck with Biggie with Redman Nas and Jeru fighting for 2nd place. Biggie did something that not even Michael Jackson could do...Biggie was on pop cultures radar for only 3 years and his 3 year presence was so strong its stongly felt 20 years later...I've never seen anything like that ever. Party and Bullshyt and the supercat song dont count....wasnt no one paying attention to him then just like no one was paying attention to Jay Z during Hawaiin Sophie. Even with The Mary J Blige Real Love remix no one was paying Biggie mind like that. Juicy is what set everything off.
