On March 9, 1997, we lost a LEGEND…. The Notorious B.I.G was killed in Los Angeles , California–the case is still UNSOLVED. But TODAY we are REMEMBERING his LIFE and LEGACY that he left behind…

Considered one of the greatest rappers of all time, Wallace was described by AllMusic as “the savior of East Coast hip-hop”.  The Source magazine named him the greatest rapper of all time in its 150th issue in 2002.  In 2003, when XXL magazine asked several hip hop artists to list their five favorite MCs, Wallace appeared on more rappers’ lists than anyone else. In 2006, MTV ranked him at No. 3 on their list of The Greatest MCs of All Time, calling him possibly “the most skillful ever on the mic”.
