The Notorious B.I.G

Christopher Wallace aka The Notorious B.I.G, he was a respected eastcoast rapper. He was most probably the best rappper on Bad Boy records but not being disrespectful I dont think any of them on Bad Boy can sing/rap or act. He started of his career as a drug dealer selling dope on the steets of Brooklyn, But after hours working on his album he soon blew up with 'Party and Bullshit'.

Soon Biggie was touring all of the place, leaving his new wife Faith behind in their new apartment in Brooklyn. She felt terrible but tried to concerntate on her solo album, but as soon as he got back he started helping Junior M.A.F.I.A on their album. But as Biggie spent more and more time with them Faith grew unhappy as he was spending so much time with Lil Kim from Junior M.A.F.I.A, Faith knew that Lil Kim was in love with biggie as they had known each other for a long time and Lil Kim was shocked when she found out that Biggie had married only 8 days after meeting Faith. So Lil Kim disliked her. When Biggie was touring with the group his marriage suffered, after a show in Virginia, a telephone converstaion with Faith eruptured into an argument, and Biggie hung up on her. She kept trying to call back but he refused to answer. That night his friends invited a bunch of girls around, but there was one left out so Biggie let her sleep in his room, he claims it was totally innocent and they weren't fucking. At 8am the next morning someone knocked the door, BIG remained in bed and the woman went to the door, she asked ' who is it' and a voice replied 'Housekeeping', so she opened the door and Faith beat the shit out of her of her and punched her 30 times then got on the next flight 2 New York. Soon Lil Kim was trying to get Biggie back, she told Rappages that her and faith dont have to be friends but they dont need to beef.

In October 1995 shortly after 2pacs release from jail Faith kept seeing him at parties. Despite that Tupac accused Biggie of trying to get him killed Faith felt that Tupac was 'Mad cool' she said that she knew that Biggie always said that he had mad love for Tupac. Tupac asked her if she would like to appear on a song, faith agreed as long as Bad Boy did. Tupac encouraged her recorda vocal over one of his new beats. Even though Deathrow and Bad Boy were at war, she sang for him then returned to New York. Months later friends started saying that she was on a song ' Wonda Why They Call You Bytch. Faith was alarmed that it had been released without Bad Boys permission. Bad Boy Records made enquiries but Deathrow Records claimed that it was RnB vocalist Jewell.

At the 1996 Soul Train music awards Tupac and Suge confronted Biggie and Puffy backstage, reports said that Tupac pulled a gun on Biggie but Biggie claims that it was a member in Tupacs click that did not Tupac. When Tupac was suddenly killed and The Southside crips were major suspects everyone started thinking could it be Biggie, the rap wars led to Tupac releasing diss songs towards Bad Boy and publically claiming he and Faith slept together maybe this was payback as when Biggie went to L.A he often hung around with the Crips. As Orlando and Tupac fought at the MGM Grand and him being a member of the crips and being rumoured to have been seen bragging about killing 2pac on the streets of Compton the very next day after Tupac was shot.

Biggie always denied setting Tupac up the first time in 9t4 and now they were all pointing the finger at him. But he did not feel that it was that bad to stop him attending the 1997 Soul Train awards in L.A, it was a week later than Suge being sentanced to 9 years in jail. When Biggie finished announcing the nominees when the crowd released a crowd of boos, they then started throwing up the W from the balcony representin the Westside. Using a cane to support his broken leg in a car accident left the brightly lit stage and returned to his $257a nite suit at the Westwood Marquis Hotel in Beverly Hills. The next nite Vibe magazine threw a party to celebrate the 11th annual soul tain music awards, it seemed a close affair to Puff Daddy and decided that it would be safe to go. Most people thought it wasn't wise to go to cali so soon after 2pacs murder. The DJ played Bigges new track ' Goin Back To Cali ' and the crowd cheered. At 1:00am Biggie headed to the exit, outside on the curb they then debated on whether to go to another paty or call it a night, Puffy decided that it was time 2 call it a night, so Puffy entered his car and Biggie went into a car behind Puffy. As Puffy drove away so did Biggie as estranged wife faith watched the caravan leave. From his car ahead puffy watched Biggies GMC and one after another they stopped at a red light. They did not see the green vehicle driving erratically, it stopped right nect to the GMC and 6 shots rang out and everyone in Puffys car stooped to avoid being shot. The vehicle drove away and puffy threw his door open and left the moving car and ran towards Biggies car. Puffy opened the door and seen Biggie hunched over the dashboard, and tried to speak with him, Biggie was still and silent. They drove to the hospital, on the way Puffy started to pray over Biggies body. At the hopspital people dropped to their knees abnd prayed, within minutes he was pronounced dead. The Times reported that the killer maybe from the same Crip gang that biggie hired for security while in L.A.. A week after the killing Crips were bragging that they recieved money from an undisclosed source on the Eastcoast. No one has been arrested and they still dont know who killed him.
