More than 13 years after the death of Notorious B.I.G., fans and friends still mourn the loss of his life.
In interviews with NPR, childhood friends told stories of when they first met the young emcee. “We tried to go to the studio at the age, I believe, of 13,” said Sam Hubert who met Biggie in daycare, and would eventually become his deejay. “My man Mike’s dad dropped us off. It was crazy. People don’t know that he really did take it serious at a young age. “
Rapper AZ, who met Biggie while rapping on street corners, added, “Big influenced a generation. This whole generation took pieces and bits. Everybody took a piece out of Big that’s on the charts right now. Everybody.”

In other news, Bun B‘s upcoming album, Trill OG, will feature several artists from his home state, Texas. Featured on the album are Texas natives Slim Thug, LeToya Luckett, and Play-N-Skillz. The emcee said that Texas, while low-key, is still relevant to Rap.
“Texas has had incredible moments in the history of Hip Hop,” he told Billboard. “But there is a misconception that because we aren’t at the forefront that we aren’t here at all. But we’re still making music, going on tour and getting in front of and connecting with the people.”
Bun B’s third solo album, Trill OG, releases on Aug. 3.
Finally, Curren$y will be featured in LRG’s Fall 2010 clothing collection. The photos for the collection were shot in the rapper’s home city New Orleans, and includes fourteen individual themes.
Curren$y’s first studio album Pilot Talk released last month.
Pac was the best rapper every, BIG you cant lie the nigga had mad flow. The industry and the media divided the friendships, crews, the niggas on both coast. Pac was more on social issue and that real thug life, BIG had grimmey niggas on some icy get money shit. Personally it’s like Malcom and Martin respect the fact they gave so much to the game. You should ask yourself who profit from that deaths! Hmm Suge Puffy,and the White label exec. Pac had a movement like the black panthers, he could rap about money but he made you feel like he was in the hood everyday on the block he never lost touch with the people. BIG actually brought NYC out of the 80’s comma bullshit LL was doing shit, Nas and Rakim hadn’t drop in a ny mintue no disrespect to Rakim or Nas.Listen to the Nigga punchlines, they are super witty. Divide and conquer is the name of the game. Now black have no music at all. The south you have to make up dance and really what the fuck are these talking about and i live in the south, West Coast has been MiA since Sept 13 1996 RIP Pac and the west coast. Nyc be real the Jay-z, cant’t rap he just stole BIG flow and ran with it, the nigga is Fake as a three dollar bill Hard Knock life and half of the Blueprint last thing from Jay. West COAST: STEP ur Game up, Niggas don’t feel Snopp puppy dog or E-40 whose selling records over there. South please quit the corny ass dance you make blacks look stuipd promote the Niggas in the south B.g Juve, T.I maybe young buck short list for real niggas in the south. Nyc please stop dick riding Jay. Promte the King OF NYc Jadakiss, fuck with lox niggas bring real heat, BUY the nigga B.sigel can’t forget Cassidy, if you r a black revoultionary fuck with Nas.: Drake, Wayne, souljah boy,40CENT enmien my niggas you if can thes niggas are fake, you don’t understand hip is a black culture it’s about the hood or inner city the people who can’t afford lawyers,the cops and judges that always throw a nigga under the jail,the drugs. Ride to your local projects look around aint shit commerical about it you can get murk anytime because niggas IS STRUGGLING AND HUSTLING JUST TO SURVIE it’s cut thoart every day we need leadship not bullshit. Who has a real message we can releate to, who can sell in Nyc, west and south. IF YOU GREW UP IN 1993 YOU BOUGHT PAC AND BIG GET Real. Now niggas don’t even watch Bet. Listen to Joe budden who killed hip and you will understand what happen in the music industry since 1993-2010. Not one rapper or athele is concern about the youth the inner city, social or economic conditions that we face. they just want niggas to buy more shoes, bullshit cds and drugs to kill ourselves. Think the police on potrol black neighboors we are the criminals in there eyes, they only want your money that’s it. Obbama even look the other way when comes to black issue he’s..the President right. So hip hop needs some REAL NIGGAS {Never Igorant Getting Goals Accomplish} whose READY TO DIE Rip Real fallen soliders Malcom X, Martin, The Black Panthers, TUPAC, CHRISTOPHER, WALLACE men who have die for the struggle May God Bless their souls in this LIFE AFTER DEATH. NAs say it right aint no best, just a bunch of greed savages. ALL EYES ON ME, AND IF YOU READ THIS IT YOU AND ME AGAINST THE WORLD.
