Over ten years since his death, Biggie Smalls, also known as The
Notorious B.I.G., is considered one of the most influential rappers
of all time, a credit continually given by numerous hip-hop
artists. Raised in Brooklyn during the crack-cocaine boom of the
late 1970s and early 1980s, Smalls (born Christopher Wallace)
worked as a drug dealer before ultimately deciding to become a
rapper. With Sean "Puffy" Combs and Bad Boy Entertainment, Biggie
rocketed to fame as one of hip hop's most popular artists. But with
the success came controversy: the friendship-turned-feud between
Biggie and Tupac fueled the rivalry between East Coast and West
Coast hip hop, a gangsta-rap battle that many believe led to the
murder of both rappers. While still unsolved, the murder of Biggie
in 1997 sparked numerous investigations, litigation, and the
dismantling of a Los Angeles Police Department task force in what
is considered the largest scandal in LAPD history. Ten years later,
Biggie is celebrated as the King of East Coast hip hop. In this
biography author Holly Lang recounts the life, music, and legacy of
Biggie and investigates the events surrounding his murder.
