In today’s Hip-Hop Snapshot, we honor Christopher Wallace — The Notorious B.I.G. — on his birthday. We keep it simple, soulful, and honest, like the man himself. From Bed-Stuy to worldwide legend, Biggie’s storytelling, flow, and presence left a mark that still echoes through the culture. We reflect on how quickly he rose, how deeply he impacted the streets, and how — even in his final days — he stood for unity, not beef. This isn’t a deep-dive… it’s a toast. A quiet nod. A reminder that hip-hop was always meant to be beautiful. And Big? He embodied that beauty in bars.
