R.I.P. B.I.G. March 9th 1997

Its been exactly 11 years since the greatest rapper of all time was killed in a drive by shooting. Notorious B.I.G. was killed on March 9th 1997 and the rap game hasn't been the same since. Biggie was the greatest rapper that ever lived and its truly sad that he had to get gunned down because of his beef wit 2pac. It wasn't enough that 2pac was killed on September 13th 1996 but half a year later BIG was also killed. Biggie and 2pac had beef and this is what happened as a result of this. Biggie stated many times how its crazy that the whole West coast didn't like him because of 2pac and the East Coast didn't like 2pac because of him. Who would think that rap beef would lead to these 2 great rappers getting gunned down. There hasn't been a rapper that has even come close to Biggies level. He was a crazy lyricist and he had the best flow. Neither Big's nor Pac's deaths were solved and it is unknown to this day who killed them. It is believed that Big's crew killed Pac and after that Pac's crew killed Big. It's crazy because Big and Pac were once pretty good friends but they become enemies. It's really sad that Biggie was killed because he would've still been rapping today. He only released 2 albums while alive but they are 2 of the best rap albums of all time. Biggie always said he was ready to die but nobody thought that it would be that soon. We miss you BIG....
Heres one of Biggies most famous songs Juicy


The last verse is INSANE No one else can rap like him
Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
When I was dead broke, man I couldn't picture this
50 inch screen, money green leather sofa
Got two rides, a limousine with a chauffeur
Phone bill about two G's flat
No need to worry, my accountant handles that
And my whole crew is loungin'
Celebratin' every day, no more public housin'
Thinkin' back on my one-room shack
Now my mom pimps a Ac' with minks on her back
And she loves to show me off, of course
Smiles every time my face is up in The Source
We used to fuss when the landlord dissed us
No heat, wonder why Christmas missed us
Birthdays was the worst days
Now we sip champagne when we thirst-ay
Uh, damn right I like the life I live
'Cause I went from negative to positive
And it's all Good
