4th ... THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G ( BIGGIE SMALLS )

Raised in Brooklyn , New York , Christopher Wallace ( Biggie Smalls ) was an american rapper. He grew more popular in the East  Coast hip hop scene and increased New Yorks visibility when he released hes album Ready to Die in 1994 at the time where West Coast rappers were more mainstream. Unfortunetly on March 9 , 1997, Biggie got shot on in Los Angeles, California.


Although he died , I believe that Biggie will always be a hip hop icon. When it came to hes songs , he always had tight lyrics and a cool flow. Biggies life was pretty hardcore , from selling drugs to being in and out of jail. As a way to keep himself out of the streets , he rapped alot about reality and hes life.Those rhymes got him pretty far through which P. Diddy discovered him and he set the bar high for other underground rappers in New York.  Besides the fact that the majority of hes songs were vulgar ,  I think it  symbolized him. It shows that hes real and down to earth, and according to some of hes fan he was a symbol of senseless violence. Biggie was a gifted story teller with a great sense of humor. He narrated hes songs often about violence in the street in a realistic way that won him enormous respect and credibility. 


Biggie Smalls will always be remembered and represented as one of hip hops greatest rapper representing the East Coast forever !!
