In January 2009 the movie Notorious is set to drop and I can not wait! Based on the life of Christopher Wallace aka Biggie, this movie is set to really be one the first hits of 2009.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Biggie grew up during the peak years of the 1980s' crack epidemic and started dealing drugs at an early age. When Biggie debuted with the 1994 record Ready to Die, he was a central figure in the East Coast hip-hop scene and increased New York's visibility at a time when hip hop was mostly dominated by West Coast artists. The following year, Biggie led his childhood friends to chart success through his protégé group, Junior M.A.F.I.A.
While recording his second album, Biggie was heavily involved in the East Coast-West Coast hip hop feud dominating the scene at the time. On March 9, 1997, he was killed by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles.
We all loved Biggie for his lyrics and music, but it was that swagger that the hip hop world fell in love with!!
Here's my favorite Biggie video. Enjoy!!
