Biggie Smalls, aka The Notorious B.I.G., exploded onto the hip hop scene with his platinum selling album Ready to Die in 1995. He was discovered by Sean Combs, aka Puff Daddy, who played a huge part in his success. Biggie Smalls and Sean 'puffy' Combs were involved in a bitter war of words with Tupac Shakur and his cohorts and many accused Biggie Smalls of having a part in Tupac's murder. Six months after the murder, on March 9, 1997, Biggie Smalls was gunned down in LA, outside the Soul Train Music Awards, having made two successful rap albums earning him several million dollars. |
