"The greatest rapper of all time died on March 9th"Quote from Canibus on "2nd Round K.O"...

The Notorious B.I.G is regarded as one of the most gifted emcees the world has ever seen and for a lot of us, he's the greatest of all time.
For a number of people, he wasn't but nonetheless, his place in the upper echelons of hip hop's greats is secured.

It's another March 9th and we're still nodding to his music and drawing inspiration from him. I would like the good people of AfricanHipHop.com to post their opinions about Biggie, his impact on the game, their favourite Biggie verses, songs and videos and of course their tributes.

Start posting and may his soul rest in peace: Amen!
May the world (not just hip hop) lose its best minds to such senseless violence...

I meant to type "may the world (not just hip hop) stop losing its best minds to such senseless violence".
Please pardon the typo...
Thank you.

5th Ultra, I know you're entitled to your opinion and I respect you but how you gon' say that? Ever heard the saying "don't speak ill of the dead"?
Are you saying Canibus was wrong? Or was Nas wrong to describe Biggie as "the late [size=150]GREAT[/size] veteran" on the track "Ether"?

I ain't gonna ask that you retract your statement but search your conscience. If stuff like "slick with his word,he had flavor yeah,and a smooth easy type flow" makes someone an "ok" MC, gimme that!

Anyways, 5th Ultra, I hope you got the lyrical "Killer Instinct" (pun intended).
Thanks for dropping a post. I thought nobody was gonna respond and March 9th would just go by like that.
Thanks again.
