The Notorious B.I.G. Tickets

Christopher George Latore Wallace was born on May 21, 1972 in Brooklyn, New York. His parents were natives from Jamaica. Wallace studied at one school with Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z. The guy made friends with street punks, found the new name B.I.G. and began to sell drugs. At that time, rap was no more than an entertainment for him. However, friends began to extol his talent, and the guy decided to record a demo.

About The Notorious B.I.G.

The Emergence Of Notorious B.I.G.

The tape began to sound in many New York clubs and once fell into the hands of the glorified producer Puff Daddy. He gave Chris the scenic name Notorious B.I.G. and aimed to make the real rap star from a talented performer. B.IG. continued to be engaged in drug traffic to support the little daughter, but Puff insisted on giving up this business and devoting himself to music completely.

Talent

In 1994, Notorious B.I.G. let out the debut album “Ready To Die”. In two weeks, the record earned the platinum status, having become the main sensation on American hip-hop scene. Wallace's songs are impregnated with disgusting details of his criminal life; revelation about his bad acts made in the past found a huge number of admirers all over the country. B.I.G. was able not only to rhyme lines literally on the fly, but also surprisingly easily could combine stories about gangster life with tearful ballads about love.

Opposition

Without wishing, he became a key figure in the opposition of two schools of hip-hop. Tupac Shakur, the leading representative of the Western coast, published the impudent song where he got nasty to the new competitor from New York. The Notorious B.I.G. kept from the similar act to revenge. Nevertheless, many consider Wallace responsible for the murder of Tupac, which was made soon after this incident. The rapper already had many problems with the law.
