Thirteen years ago today, (March 9) hop hop’s biggest star Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed at a stoplight in Los Angeles after he left an after-party for the Soul Train Music Awards.

He was 24 years old.  During the past 13 years, many rumors have circulated regarding who killed the rapper. 

Some people say it was gang members, some people say it was a Tupac fan who was angry about Tupac’s violent death.  Some people say it a shady police officer had something to do with it. 

Regardless, the killer has never been brought to justice, and it seems doubtful that he/she ever will. 

Throughout his short life, Notorious B.I.G. made an impact on the music industry.  His smooth lyrical style, combined with his club beats always made everyone race to the dance floor when his songs came on. 

His most popular songs were “Hypnotize” and “Big Poppa.”  My personal favorite song of his is called “(explicative) You Tonight.”  

I can’t play that song here because the lyrics are not family-friendly, and I couldn’t find the clean version of that song.
