Thirteen years ago today, one of the most iconic figures in pop culture was shot and killed in Los Angeles.
The event changed the course of music as a windfall of money and fame went to cohorts closest to The Notorious B.I.G. Every year since, mixtapes and commemorative bootlegs emerge on March 9. Sean Combs poaches takes into full albums, merchandise, lavish parties and motion pictures. Today, Biggie tops trends on Twitter, the social networking equivalent of murals on brick walls.
Ruminating on this subject is tiring so I'll just offer up my five favorite Biggie songs, posthumous, bootleg or otherwise.
1. Gimme The Loot
2. Mo Money, Mo Problems
3. Things Done Changed
4. Dead Wrong
5. Deadly Combination
