There are a lot of things we don’t know about the legendary Notorious B.I.G., but Funkmaster Flex is working to change that. The Hot 97 veteran DJ is currently working with Simon & Schuster and Pulitzer to publish a book in the unknown future, which will tell untold stories about the late Biggie Smalls. Being that […]

Many people will say that the greatest album of all time is Nas‘ Illmatic. That might be true. But Nas’ Illmatic isn’t the most important rap album of all time. Hell, it’s not even the most important album of the year it was released – 1994. That distinction belongs to Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready to Die, […]

Krayzie Bone recently stopped by the No Judgment Zone with BlogXilla to reminisce about back in the day, including recalling what it was like retiring from hip-hop to focus on helping younger rappers.

Last week, O.G. singer Faith Evans released her first official single in four years. The song, called “I Deserve It,” features Missy Elliott and Sharaya J and it’s a pretty decent feel good jam.

“Biggie Smalls is the illiest.” And, if he wasn’t shot and killed on March 9th 1997, he would have been 42 years-old today, probably still dropping classic albums. Even though he’s not physically here, The Notorious B.I.G. has left one of the best hip-hop categories ever: Both of his albums, Ready to Die and Life After Death, are certified […]

Mo’ money mo’ problems. Never thought we’d see this happen, but Keyshia Cole and Iggy Azalea are teaming up to remake Biggie’s Life After Death classic “Mo Money Mo Problems.” Last night, Irv Gotti posted a video of him listening to the song in the studio. From the sound of things, the remake sounds pretty decent. According […]

Bad Boy, come out and plaaaay. One of the great rap labels of all time, Bad Boy Records, had a mini-reunion during a concert at the House of Blues last night. Faith Evans, who is in L.A. for the Grammys, had a show, and during her set, Diddy came out. The two performed their iconic dedication to […]

The last song on The Notorious B.I.G.’s Life After Death album is “You’re Nobody (Til Somebody Kills You),” a song where a paranoid Biggie ponders his own demise. It’s an all-time classic song. And apparently, Rick Ross samples it on his new album, Mastermind. The other day, Ross invited a number of bloggers and music people […]
