The Sky’s the Limit
Christopher Wallace was a young black male growing up in
Brooklyn, New York. His mother was pretty strict and
had him in a private school.
$ Mo Money, Mo Problems $
When Christopher was about ten years old, he involved with some bad
people. One of his downfalls was his love of
money.
“Lying to My Mother”
Christopher had another problem. He liked to take things that belonged to
other people.
“Considered a fool cause I dropped outta highschool”
Growing up, Christopher got in trouble a lot. When he was
seventeen, he stopped going to school.
“I Got A Story To Tell”
Christopher had to be placed in a special place for some of the mistakes he had made when he was younger. When he got out, he decided to meet up with his
old friends. There was a jam session going on and Christopher got up on
stage and began to RAP!
Christopher and his friend got in trouble. His friend “took the fall” for
it. So, Christopher went to see Puff
Daddy and told him, “I want to stop my old life and start a new life.”
Christopher Wallace now known as “Biggie Smalls” and Puffy came
out with their new record deal called, Bad Boy Entertainment. They later got introduced to the
famous Tupac Shakur.
There was some “bad blood” between Biggie and Tupac. They did
not agree on many things. Tupac thought Biggie was a bully.
Biggie’s life took a turn because his mother was sick. Also, Biggie got
into a car accident. So, he faded out of the rap music world for a little
while. After he came back to rap, he became even more famous. He was given the new name of “Notorious
B. I. G.”
Sadly, these two famous rap singers, Tupac and Biggie, lost their lives within year. Their legacy lives on today. Tupac and
Biggie are still famous to this day. Their never released songs have been on music charts.
Biggie left a legacy, and today The Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation has an annual
dinner called “B.I.G. Night Out” to raise funds for children’s equipment and supplies and to honor his memory. For this
event B.I.G. stands for “Books Instead of Guns”.
