Puff Daddy Honoring 20th Anniversary of Notorious BIG’s Death
Celebrating the life and musical legacy of The Notorious B.I.G. right here in the Richmond.
“We’ve lived 20 years without somebody that has been a big part of of our lives and has basically been responsible for the legend of our careers”, Diddy said.
Evans, 43, explained how the rapper’s death continues to affect the family, including her now adult son with B.I.G., 20-year-old Christopher Jordan Wallace.
The USA Network is working on a drama about Smalls and Tupac Shakur called, “Unsolved: The Murders of Biggie and Tupac”, according to the Hollywood Reporter and his fashion label, “Hypnotize”, is hosting a pop-up shop in London, according to the NME. In the original, Kanye references having been treated for injuries from his October 2002 auto crash “in the same hospital where B.I.G. and 2Pac died”, referring to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Since both of those albums are indisputable classics, game-changers in their time, one might say that Biggie has a flawless slugging percentage, to borrow a term from baseball.
In an interview with CNN, singer Faith Evans, who was married to Biggie when he was killed, said his music is as compelling now as it was 20 years ago. It was his only studio album that was released during his lifetime as he was murdered days before his sophomore release, “Life After Death”, dropped three years later.
“I say a B.I.G. verse, I’m only biggin up my brother, biggin up my borough, I’m big enough to do it”, – Jay Z (What More Can I Say).
The rap icon’s former wife Faith Evans is now gearing up to release their joint The King & I album. Fans will also see a video montage paying homage to the legendary rapper.
Missy Elliott got specific about why Biggie was different, Maxwell shared how he had learned of the rapper’s death and the Roots’ Questlove announced special plans for a tribute Thursday night at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl.
