Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 - March 9, 1997), known as The Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls (
After a childhood of crime caught up with him, Wallace decided to focus on his other talent: Rapping, under the name Biggie Smalls. This lead to a chain of events that resulted in him teaming up with Uptown Records A&R and record producer Sean "Puffy" Combs. However, soon after signing the contract, Combs found himself fired from Uptown and started up a new label, Bad Boy Records, which Wallace quickly became a part of. Later that year, Wallace gained exposure on a remix to Mary J. Blige's "Real Love". Wallace found out that his original pseudonym Biggie Smalls was already in use, so he adapted a new moniker: The Notorious B.I.G.(the letters apparently don't stand for anything).
Line 21:
A movie about his life, ''Notorious'', was released on January 16th, 2009, starring rapper Jamal "Gravy" Woolard as the Notorious one himself. Not to be confused with [[Notorious|the Alfred Hitchcock film of the same name,]] not even for a minute.
