Note: This article originally ran in the April 2007 issue of XXL, where XXL collected ten of Biggie's best songs, collaborations, moments and more on the 10th anniversary of his death. We are re-running the story as part of a week of throwback stories to commemorate the 17th anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G.' S death yesterday, March 9, 1997. Check out our other stories.Ten years. Ten years since March 9, 1997, when 24-year-old Christopher Wallace (a.k.a.

The Notorious B.I.G., a.k.a. Biggie Smalls) was shot to death in Los Angeles. Like his close friend turned terrible rival Tupac Shakur, who met the same fate six months before, the 6-foot-3-inch, 280-pound Biggie hasn’t gotten any smaller in the eyes of the rap world since his passing. His presence is still gargantuan.

A lot of people will tell you he is the single greatest MC rap music has produced, the limited amount of material he recorded in his four-year career being perhaps the best argument against him.His story isn’t over. His murder remains a mystery. (Though, in 2005, revelations unearthed through a wrongful-death suit that his mother, Voletta Wallace, brought against the Los Angeles Police Department suggest that the dark truth might come out eventually.) And, of course, his music still rocks every block with a radio on it.In tribute, though, as a memorial to the great artistry Biggie displayed in his far-too-brief time on the planet and to mark the sad anniversary, XXL has compiled 10 lists, 10 entries each, that speak to his ever-lasting impact. 10 Best Biggie Collabos1. “The What”—Biggie featuring Method Man2. “Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems”—Biggie featuring Puff Daddy and Ma$e3.

The Biggie Duets album9. The gentrification of Brooklyn10. Kim’s plastic surgery.

10 MC's Who Followed In Biggie's Footsteps1. Big Pun—’Course, Pun had a brilliant style of his own, but in ’97, when “I’m Not A Player” hit, the idea of a plus-size gangsta rapper “crushing” the ladies had one clear precedent2. Shyne—People thought Puff was pulling a Milli Vanilli with an unreleased Biggie track when “Bad Boyz” first dropped3. Lil’ Kim—If anyone has a right to bite, it’s her. But while flipping the gender perspective of “Just Playing” for “Dreams” was cool, the Notorious K.I.M.

Album was a step too far4. Black Rob—A grimy, crime-y rapper with a toothpick and sneer, Rob was recruited to bring a glitzy Bad Boy back to the streets in ’99.

It was like, whoa, this seems kinda familiar5. Guerilla Black—A 6-foot-2-inch, 250-pound Biggie soundalike from L.A.? Gravy—Before he got shot in the tuchus and subsequently banned from Hot 97, this heavyset Brooklyn rapper was best known for rocking pinstripe suits and canes, and rhyming over Biggie beats7. Mike Jones—Another rotund rapper sees the spoils of success.

Biggie: “Girls used to diss me/Now they writin’ letters ’cause they miss me.” Mike Jones: “They used to love to diss me/Now they rush to hug and kiss me”8. Papoose—Live from Bedford-Stuyvesant, the young concept-rap specialist is dedicated to bringing the crown back to NYC. He’s got big plans, rap fans, big plans9. Young Jeezy—Low on lyrical prowess and artistic ambition, the four-time trapper of the year gets by on lived-it-to-tell-it credibility and extra large personality. He’s like a Biggie for the postrap generation10.

Jay Z—He’s earned it. And no one doubts the love. But even Jay admits that he’s “smudged” his own career by giving Biggie the sincerest form of flattery.

War of the worlds alien. 10 Things Biggie Will Be Forever Renowned For1. Bringing hip-hop back East in 19952. Never writing rhymes down3. Prophetically “killing himself” on “Suicidal Thoughts” at the end of his first album4. The natural boom-bap in his voice (Baby, baaaybeh!)5. His slow-flo: remarkable6. Concept raps7.

Out “boning” Bone Thugs on “Notorious Thugs'8. Making a double album that was actually worth its length9. Coining the phrase “mo’ money, mo’ problems.” And, sadly, living it10.

Being part of the worst beef in hip-hop history.Previously.
