Everyone loves a rookie's story. Some pan out to become superstars. Others find themselves as permanent punchlines. In Hip-Hop, it's the same pressure on a different platform. Music relies directly on the consumer's feedback to determine how much success, if any, the artist will see. If the fans aren't appreciative, neither are record labels. The music industry's gift and curse, some would say. In today's climate, J. Cole , Freddie Gibbs , Pill , Wiz Khalifa , Drake and others are all making strides in the positive direction at the current moment. [...]

Since he had a short discography, I question Big's rank in the game every now & then. But, when I go back to Ready To Die & listen to how eloquently he floated lines like like "there's gonna be alotta slow singin-nnn and flowering bringin-nnn, if my burglar alarm starts ringin'..." all my previous skepticism is removed. Download - Biggie Smalls - "Warning"

"... I'll be d*mned if this ain't some sh*t Come to spread the butter lyrics over hominy grit It's the low killer death trap, yes I'm a jet black ninja Comin where you rest at, surrender Step inside the ring, yous the number one contender Lookin cold booty like your p*ssy in December Aggin stop b*tchin, button up ya lip and From Method all you gettin is a can of *ss-whippin Hey, I'll be kickin, you son, you doin all the yappin Actin as if it can't happen You [...]

Here is one of my favorite clips of Biggie. Aiyoo @ 1:06 though. I laugh everytime. R.I.P Biggie.

... After Watching Notorious In an attempt to protect the decency and reputation of such a remarkable talent I am making a public service announcement that should be taken quite serious: DO NOT WATCH "NOTORIOUS." If you want to learn about Biggie Smalls listen to his classic debut, "Ready to Die," watch YouTube videos, look him up on Wiki, ask your hip-hop friend but whatever you do, don't watch this movie. You know how the movie is never as good as the book? Well, "Ready to Die" is Biggie's book and "Notorious" is some inadequate jerks [...]

• The Notorious B.I.G. - Big Poppa

As far as I'm concerned, there's NO SUCH thing as too much Notorious B.I.G. coverage. As long as the Internet permits, his memory will be fresh in the minds of the TSS community. Thanks to TheMeaningOfDope , who have been having a Biggie week in honor of the Notorious release, there's a slew of old/new Biggie goodness unleashed upon us as if Bad Boy had their own holiday. Like I said before, B.I.G. was pre-digital age, so just actually seeing him in action is a gem in itself. The Black Frank White is [...]

In spite of myself, I think I'm anticipating Notorious . By expecting greatness a decent movie, I know there's potential for failure. But with the trailers & shit I've seen, it looks like the movie will be at least respectable to the memory of who Christopher George Latore Wallace was to music. And the movie has made me start to think back to when Big first hit the scene. Biggie emerged on the mainstream level with two unique singles - "Juicy" and "Big Poppa." Both would become symbolic, embodying Puff's [...]

You never need a special occasion to honor Christopher Wallace. Annual reminders of the anniversary of his assassination, commemorative magazine articles coinciding with the release of Life After Death , Biggie lunchboxes - all that's find and dandy. But see, as the years continue to roll by, it becomes fairly convenient to undermine why Frank White, over a decade after his passing still remains one of the most transcendent figures Hip-Hop has ever witnessed. It's all in the music baby. Ask yourself a question. How does a man who [...]

Trailer For the Notorious B.I.G. biopic, in theatres January 9th.

A whole buncha Biggie Smalls over here for ya fools. So these are all the original, uncleared, and unreleased joints offa Biggie's classic first album, Ready To Die . Yes, some have leaked before, but I haven't seen them all compiled in one massive collection replaying the entire album from beginning to end. Definitely a great listen. I'm curious to hear the story behind this leakage. Not sure how long this link will be live, so get it whilst you can.. DOWNLOAD: The Notorious B.I.G. - Ready To Die (Alternate [...]
