Thanks for signing up! On September 7, , his former friend Tupac was shot dead in Las Vegas. Both Biggie and Puffy strenuously denied their involvement and other key suspects have since emerged.

You know what i'm saying? One man against one man made a whole West coast hate a whole East Coast. And vice versa. And that really bugged me out. Like yo, dude don't like me, so his whole coast don't like me. I don't like him, so my whole coast don't like him. It let me know how much strength I have. So what I'm trying to do now, I've got to be the one to try to flip it.

And take my power and flip it, like, yo, because Pac can't be the one to try to squash it because he's gone. So I gotta take the weight on both sides. Sadly, Biggie did not live long enough to see the peace he wished for. He himself was murdered the early hours of March 9, As Biggie's SUV — in which he was riding with a bodyguard and Lil' Cease — waited at a red light, a vehicle pulled up alongside it, and a gunman opened fire.

His bodyguard rushed Biggie to the hospital, but it was already too late. Like that of Tupac, the killing of Biggie Smalls would never be solved. There would be no closure. Also like Tupac, Biggie would release a double album posthumously, in Biggie's case a mere fortnight after his demise. The album was certified diamond in after selling more than 10 million copies.

With his murder seen by many hip hop fans as a tit-for-tat killing, Biggie appeared to continue the beef from beyond the grave on the album track "Long Kiss Goodnight.

But according to the hip hop magazine XXL , the song was likely to have been recorded before Tupac's actual murder. Things had gotten way out of hand. Two of the greatest rappers to ever pick up a microphone were dead and gone. Hip hop's reputation had been dragged through the gutter. Nobody had any appetite for more. On March 18, Biggie's memorial service was held at the the Frank E.

Biggie lay in an open mahogany casket dressed in a white suit. After the service, his remains were cremated. Funeral cars filled with floral tributes to rapper Biggie Smalls pass down St. James Place, the street in Brooklyn where his mother lives, in a farewell drive-by for the Brooklyn native. But this wasn't the last that the world had heard from Biggie Smalls.

A single from that album, "I'll Be Missing You," dedicated to Biggie's memory, won the Grammy for best rap performance by a duo or group in — ironically beating Biggie himself, whose "Mo Money Mo Problems" was nominated in the same category. There were two more posthumous albums using previously unreleased material: Born Again in and Duets: the Final Chapter in — featuring a host of guests including Eminem , Jay-Z, Mary J.
