Christopher Wallace, also known as The Notorious B.I.G. and Biggie Smalls was honored today by New York Congressman, Hakeem Jeffries, for his contributions to Hip Hop’s culture. Although he only released 2 solo albums, Notorious B.I.G. left an impeccable impact on the world as he is still ranked as one of the best rappers of all time. […]
Radio One VP/Programming Colby Colb interviewed The Notorious B.I.G. in 1994 before his debut “Ready To Die” dropped, and it’s cool to hear them chop it up before Biggie became a legend. Hear their conversation in the player above.
The untimely deaths of Biggie and Tupac will haunt the hip-hop world for many years to come, so of course when Faith Evans sat down with Huff Post Live, the subject came up yet again.
Detective Suffers Heart Attack While Researching Biggie Book Well this one is certainly strange . Via TMZ : The LAPD detective who investigated the death of Biggie Smalls died of an apparent heart attack while interviewing an L.A. County Sheriff’s captain about Biggie’s murder … TMZ has learned. Russell Poole was at the Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau Wednesday interviewing the captain for a book he was writing about the case. Poole believed LAPD officers who worked off duty for Suge Knight had a hand in Biggie’s killing … as retaliation for Tupac’s murder. We’re told Poole was interviewing the captain when he clutched his chest, said “I think I’m having a heart attack,” and then keeled over. Law enforcement sources tell us Poole — who was 58 — made it known he believed the LAPD wanted him dead. There’s no evidence of foul play, and in fact we’re told Poole suffered from chronic high blood pressure. We’re told the L.A. County Coroner’s Office has conducted an autopsy but did not establish cause of death yet … they’re waiting for toxicology results. We’re no conspiracy theorists but…doesn’t that sound EXTREMELY strange to you???
