It was all a dream
I used to read Word Up magazine
Salt'n'Pepa and Heavy D up in the limousine
Hangin' pictures on my wall
Every Saturday Rap Attack, Mr. Magic, Marley Marl
I let my tape rock 'til my tape popped
Smokin' weed and bamboo, sippin' on private stock
Way back, when I had the red and black lumberjack
With the hat to match
Remember Rappin' Duke, duh-ha, duh-ha
You never thought that hip hop would take it this far
[Juicy Lyrics on http://www.lyricsmania.com]
Notorious B.I.G is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. The rhythm and transition in his music is so electrifying that it made everyone move their feet. Portrayed as the King of Brooklyn, Biggie was loved throughout the United States for his unusual but hyped rap style. At first Biggie and the late Tupac Shakur were best friends, they made several tracks together that topped the charts. However, after Tupac unexpectedly was shot five times in a New York Studio, the two rappers went their separate ways. Tupac claimed that Biggie knew who were his alleged shooters, but he was to afraid to come forth. On the other hand Biggie refuted all of Tupac claims that linked Biggie to the shooting. The conclusion of this was a well known east coast west coast beef that brought Christopher Wallace to be known as the great Notorious B.I.G.
Notorious B.I.G stood for Business Instead of Game and after his death now stands for Books Instead of Guns (http://www.ewsonline.com/biggie/biography.html).
His debt album was Ready to Die and is probably regarded as one of the best hip hop albums of all time. He also would thrived to become the king of the East Coast,the representative in the East Coast West Coast feud that ended up causing the death of both Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur.
After his demise Biggie remains an icon in the Hip Hop Industry. Through people like P. Diddy and Jay Z and other major East Coast rap stars, biggie's music is still alive and heard everyday by hundreds of people. Not only did he live his own dream, but through his music he helped others live their dream.
