Hip-Hop Celebrates the Life and Legacy of the Notorious B.I.G. on 20th Anniversary Of His Death

March 9, 1997 will forever be remembered as a day in Hip-Hop history when the Notorious B.I.G., one of the illest MCs who ever touched the microphone, was gunned down in Los Angeles. Today, 20 years since Christopher Wallace’s life was snuffed and taken from us all, hip-hop remembers “the Black Frank White.”
