Did You Know: Big had to change his name from Biggie Smalls to The Notorious B.I.G. because another unpopular(who happened to be white) artist had that name already, The Name Biggie Smalls originally came from a 1975 Sidney Poitier, Bill Cosby film Let’s Do It Again, and was their 2nd film together. His name Frank White came from the movie “King of New York”  starring Christopher Walken, Larry Fishburne, Wesley Snipes, and David Caruso, BIG was considered not just the “King Of NY” But the “King Of Hip Hop”.

I don’t know about you, but B.I.G. change my Music taste forever!, It might be because I’m from Brooklyn, but there Was NO Rapper at the time Or Ever that could have touched him, even to this day his songs can play amongst the most popular Music, and sound better!! Frank Wza was cut down at the young age of 24 in L.A., Now March 9th will forever live in our minds as one of the worst days in Hip Hop. The Greatest The Rapper Ever……
