The Notorious B.I.G.

I was listening to The Rub – The History of Hip-Hop (1994) on the way to work one day. 

The first MC of the mix was the late, great Notorious with his verse from the late Craig Mack’s Flava in ya Ear (Remix). 

The other Notorious tracks chosen for the mix made me realize just how B.I.G. he was. 

He managed to be the hip hop king of New York before he died. 

I’ll never forget arriving to New York in the summer of 1996. 

The first song I heard was 112’s Only You (Remix) and he starts that song as well. 

March 9 has been imprinted as the anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G. death.

We’ll always love Big Poppa.
