The Christopher we acknowledge is Wallace and that just so happens to be the Notorious B.I.G.'s government name for those of you who might be confused. Biggie Smalls is one of the greatest to ever touch a microphone solely based on his lyrical ability, unique vocal range, cadence, and witty punchlines. B.I.G. had the ability to bring any group of people together with his music and gave people the confidence to feel great in their own skin and there aren't too many people live that can do that with their music.
With only two full bodies of work, the Notorious B.I.G. is considered as one of the greatest because nearly he verse he performed was curated to perfection. Biggie had songs for everyone ranging from the gentlest of women to the most hardcore street dudes and united hip-hop after he was gunned down in May 1997. We lost one of the greatest emcees ever due to mindless violence and the entire realized that following his passing. Rest in power to the Brooklyn legend.
