Notorious B.I.G.

Notorious B.I.G.
Early Sunday morning on March 9th, 1997 Notorious B.I.G. was gunned down on the streets of Los Angeles at the age of 24. His gangster style demise sparked the whole notion of an East-coast West-coast gangster rap war. Soon after his death Howard Stern conducted a “rap summit” with representatives from both sides. The general consensus was that these were isolated incidents and not retaliation for Tupac Shakur and did not support the theory of an East-coast West-coast gangsta-rap war.
