Top 10 The Notorious B.I.G. Songs

Script written by Tiffany Ezuma. Born May 21, 1972, Christopher Wallace, otherwise known as The Notorious B.I.G., grew up in Brooklyn, New York City. In the mid-90s, his rapping skills earned him a prominent place in the East Coast hip hop scene and put him at the forefront of the East Coast-West Coast hip hop rivalry. So despite his success, or perhaps because of it, Biggie was the victim of a drive-by shooting on March 9, 1997. But his musical legacy lives on. For this list, we've chosen our entries based on a combination of the artist's fan favorites and their most commercially successful songs. We've only considered those that feature Biggie as the prime rapper, so tracks with lots of guest spots like “Flava In Ya Ear,” “Get Money,” and “Brooklyn's Finest” aren't included in the main entries.
