It has been thirteen years since Hip-Hop lost one of the most prolific lyricists that ever touched the mic.

Whether from New York or California, it is undeniable that the level of finesse  Christopher “The Notorious B.I.G” Wallace brought to Hip-Hop with his debut single “Juicy”, definitely changed the game. He single handedly ushered out the gangsta era image and brought in the Mafioso.

It was no longer “B*%ches  Ain't  S%@t” but dudes begging for “One More Chance” as his rhymes,  over then Puff Daddy's co-produced melodic beats and samples, made you want to party and bulls**t, but also get between the sheets.
