- Episode 1 - WHO SHOT YA For the Notorious B.I.G., 1995 was quite the year. Not only was the MC preparing to crush the sophomore jinx with his second album, he was in full campaign mode for rap’s King of New York title. Initially endorsed by the July cover of the #1 hip-hop magazine in the 1990's The Source, Big led the race with the year’s hottest street record being his controversial “Who Shot Ya?” In the premier episode of Iconic Records, we talk to “Who Shot Ya” producer and former Hitman Nasheim Myrick. Junior Mafia MC Klepto gives us a never before told story about which rapper the song was actually aimed at. Rap royalty Fat Joe even joins us to speak on his brotherhood with B.I.G.. But first, legendary hip-hop journalist Bonz Malone reflects on writing that historic cover story for The Source 27 years ago and being a dice roll away from signing Big before Puff.

The Notorious B.I.G. channel is the official UA-cam home of The Notorious B.I.G. featuring his catalog of official music videos. The Notorious B.I.G. is widely recognized as one of the world’s most influential rappers and has sold more than 17 million albums in the U.S. alone. Before his murder in 1997, Christopher Wallace recorded two classic albums as The Notorious B.I.G. His debut Ready to Die arrived in 1994 and helped revitalize the East Coast rap scene with massive hits like “Big Poppa” and “Juicy.” Life After Death was released in March 1997 just weeks after he was shot and killed in Los Angeles. The record topped the U.S. album charts and featured the hits “Hypnotize” and “Mo Money Mo Problems.” It remains one of the few hip-hop albums to ever achieve Diamond certification from the RIAA.

Hi 👋🏻 The Notorious B.I.G
Id like to thank the estate of The Notorious BIG for holding it down. We gonna keep popping bottles🍾 and getting money 💵 Repping BIG
Shout out to the legend Angie Martinez for doing this outta ❤ for Biggie and not releasing that controversial hate filled interview with that other mad rapper who shall remain nameless…
Biggie's legacy is unmatched. He continues to inspire rappers & culture decades after he dropped. Rest In Peace BIG
Super duper CAP
Nah bro. Drake. Lil Wayne.
You old bro
"Dropped" is a weird choice of wording
And kinda disrespectful imo
wdym unmatched lil wayne, Kendrick, eminem, scarface, andre3k, 2pac, and nas all come close

I remember waking up Sunday morning March 9th in 97 and finding out BIG passed. Felt like I lost a friend and was truly hurt by this senseless murder!
I remember that day
@Mr Happy Folger you're a clown
I celebrated 🎉
Me too 😢
17 million records sold! Not Spotify or Apple 17 million physical copies!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's not that many compared to top selling artists.....
@@euanscotland album better then top artist
Not many Pac so 19 million one record 17 Isn't much
@@JayCapone37 how many albums pac got ? The time big had in this game 17 million is great
I have never skipped LAD album a literary masterpiece
Just was telling my coworkers, this was the best album ever on some shit. Never realized how many hits it had on it along with the clap back too everybody!!!
Only Another ft Lil’ Kim
I LOVE That Album BUUUUT I Never Cared For Playa Hater, Another, Going Back To Cali. Definitely Skipable Tracks
@@JuanTaughtMe To each its own, but B.I.G. showed another side of his talent on Playa Hater. He was jokingly doing it, but it came out pretty damn good. I even wish if he were alive he would've made a video for it.

Big was ahead of his time. I’m sure his rhymes, schemes and flow would have only gotten better with maturity and different experiences. My personal favorite MC, we miss you BIG. ✊🏾✌🏾
Absolutely bro mine too. My biggest overall idol really. I knew from when I first heard him at 7 years old that he was the greatest EVER!!! I'm glad everyone knows now. RiP BiG

Facts
This made me think about all the parties my dudes used throw in “the dorm” (475 Washington Ave) during 93-95 when B.I.G. was starting to bubble and the energy of the neighborhood was indescribable how proud we all were that someone from around the way was doing it. I remember our parties (Assorted Flavors, B. Murray and DJ Chase) at Club Downtime on Fridays spun by DJ Red Alert and him playing exclusive joints before they dropped and pandemonium on the dance floor. Watching this made tears of joy come from my eyes because it was time that forever changed us in BK. B.I.G. 🕊️ R.I.P.
What people don't understand BIG was from Brooklyn "Do Or Die" Bed-Stuy. So "Ready To Die" was so befitting. I mean he put his life in it. It was all or nothing. So when he came out with his 2nd album (after having much success from his first) of course what could be more befitting than calling it "Life After Death". He made it... He knew he did it !!! He truly represented where he was from by taking Brooklyn's motto and making it his own. #respect

I was 16 when Life after death came out in 1997, my mother bought it for me. She asked me , who poses next to a hearse for a album cover and I laughed. You're nobody till somebody kills you is my favourite track
Mine too. Love that song so much….
@Tee it's a tie between that and somebody gotta die for me. Can't wait til they cover that track.
Nysheim Myrick is a fucking monster on the production side
Hell yea!!!!!!

I still can't believe it has been 26 years since we lost Big Poppa. His musical legacy will never ever die. #continue2ripbigpoppa🙏❤️

First time I heard “Unbelievable” I knew that was the greatest mc i would ever hear. The flow, the delivery, the bars, to me, it’s probably one of the greatest tracks ever.
Unbelievable for me back then in college was like so simple but so intricate I said this guy is different! “aint no amateurs here I damage and tear MCs fear me but they too near not to hear me… clearly”🔥🔥
Stole those lines of Pac. See it clearly, you to near me, holla if you hear me.
@@PR-WAY Indeed he did.
No one can replace BIG
@Big Dawg 🤡
Every rapper tried to do a Life After Death in 97 and 98 but they all failed.
Jay-Z did. they call him King of NY now
@@mcins what?
Tupac forever ❤️
As a Biggie fan this was AMAZING!!!!
@Mr Happy Folger well thanks for your opinion 🤷
Love that they doing this series while FX is doing Dear Mama, celebrating two legends 🙌🔥🔥🔥
This gunna be such a good series
BIG will forever be the King of NY, no one will EVER fully have the influence that he’s had on not only NYC, but Hip-Hop as a WHOLE. Thousands of years from now people will look to his music as people look to Mozart or Bach. #BIGForever

I’m 43 years old and B. I. G is the best MC I ever heard in my life, frfr! He took the CROWN to his grave!
Live from Bedford Stuyvesant the Lives One 🐐💯
...representin' BK to tha fullest!
Big had so much more to give and I think about it every day. What it could've been....
they shoulda gave him oneeee moreeee chanceeeee 😂
Lmao you think about what another man could have done everyday? Jesus 😩
Best rapper to ever touch a mic in my opinion, the tone on every record can’t be ignored!
On god 💯
He earned his respect from us...and he didn't do it through no damn rap record. Long Live The King. 👑
I like how Angie drills down to the detail....its like she read our minds on what exactly what we wanna know
Yoooo the beat switch. I never knew that. This is why these stories are GOLDEN
My man !! 4ever in our hearts !! Miss u Biggie !!! ❤❤❤
Big fan biggie ❤i love when u call me big poppa
Damn I thought we was really getting into this ALBUM. Just stories about BIG but it's cool tho
The fact its been 26 years since his death and he's still admired and highly spoken about just blows my mind. He was and still is my favorite rapper and the reason why I do what I do today much love to the G.O.A.T S.I.P Christopher Wallace 🤍🕊
yeah linkin him to Pac was great for his Legacy
@@JaeThaGemini Big rapping with Pac did nothing for him. He got known and blew up on Bad Boy. Learn your hip hop history
@@abc876 Pac the one who gave him first shows doof 😂 boa said “learn your history” while not knowin any lmfaooo
@@JaeThaGemini yea which nobody ever really knew about. If you wasn't around back then it's cool. Like I said Pac did nothing for Big when they did they couple shows
@@abc876 plenty of folk knew. it was never a secret, except to kids like you. go do ya research before speakin
Angie is the best host back then and still today! When ever anybody talks about Big and Pac we listen and have been listening for over 20 years. How the stories never get old shows just how iconic they are.
imagine how the big the impact that Notorious had just to get here
Majority only see him as an icon
NOTORIOUS B.I.G 4EVER
It's crazy cuz I was listening to the 25th anniversary version of "Life after death" an hour ago.
I'll never forget the day I heard Juicy for the first time. We'd just returned to BK from a summer trip to PR. I was 11 turning 12. I used to listen to the radio obsessively, everywhere I went. So, I'm back from PR after 3 weeks in the campo, listening to HOT, and one of my fav songs at the time, FLOW JOE, cones on. I'm hype bc I've been listening to nothing but Spanish music for the last 3 weeks and s**t. The very next song was JUICY and my jaw dropped to the ground as soon as I heard that sample and Big's voice laid over it. I HAD to know the artist behind this track!
I loved BIG ever since, and still visit his stoop annually on his anniversary 3/9. I wore a custom hat with the iconic pic of BIG in front of the WTC towers when I ran the NYC Marathon right through Bed Stuy in 2019. He's provided the soundtrack to some of the best moments of my life, partying and bull s**tting in BROOKLYN.
Thank you for sharing these stories with his family of fans, who keep him alive each and every day!!
For me the best album ever greetings from Amsterdam
Life After Death is not only the greatest rap album of all time but one of the greatest albums period of any genre
Lol 😂 Stop The Cap 🧢
💯💯
Cap 🧢
All Eyes on me is the greatest album. Sold 100 million. Fuck the Notorious Bitch
It’s a complete masterpiece for sure. I’ve always been a huge fan of this album since I was a kid. As an adult I go back n listen to this album n feel the power it has. It’s up there with the greatest albums of all time. Biggie went god mode on the whole thing. I’ll never forget when I heard notorious thugs for the first time, shit was legendary
I actually always wondered how I shot ya from LL came about. I sorta knew it was a play on biggie's who shot ya. But knowing he was actually at the who shot ya sessions makes it make more sense. Throw in the Keith Murray connection
@MercilessVenom Keith's verse is on Mary's album. However Keith's I Shot Ya verse was aimed at Prodigy of Mobb Deep.
anyone know how "old school new school, u need to learn tho/I burn baby burn like disco inferno " was a shot at LL?
The Rap God 🔥💯🙏🏻
This my favorite album of all time, this whole series gonna be dope
Great album but not as good as all eyes on me
@@El_terrible1985 Omg why does Pac have to come up on EVERY Biggie video. Yall Pac fans cant tell me yall dont love Big too
@@gillatineking3236 of course I love biggie. He’s my 3rd favourite rapper. But let’s be honest. All eyes on me is a much better album. 1 2pac. 2 Nas. 3 biggie
@@El_terrible1985 dudes act like y'all are in love with Tupac as a woman is with her man, shit is sad
@@gillatineking3236they love Big, they got Ready To Die! 😂
The fact they released this on his UA-cam account Is dope
This is a good one Angie ❗ Glad you put this together so thank you as the rest of the world continue to capitalize off a Biggie success❗ This will shine a light on you for being a true radio personality and journalist ❗
That was so emotional. BIGGIE in my opinion is the greatest. His albums were the soundtrack of my teens and twenties. Angie thank you ❤

The song was realised after Pac was shot and not to mention Pac is in hospital shot up 5 times watching Jimmy Henchman having a conversation with Puff on the news what do you expect him to think? We all know now Biggie had absolutely nothing to do with it but all the things that have come out about Jimmy Henchman and Puffy, Pac wasn't that far away from the truth. R.I.P Biggie and Pac two GOATS💯💖🙏🏾💖🙏🏾
Life After Death is flawless. This is the best rap album I ever heard. BIG and the Hitmen must've been in a zone creating this masterpiece. From the commercial joints and to the mafiaoso joints. And the storytelling is so vivid (Somebody's Gotta Die, N!gg@s Bleed). Not to mention the best Bone collaboration ever!!!

Loving this so far. Great job putting it together.
Life After Death is a top 10 hip hop album of all time imo. Biggie was incredible, RIP
Legend 🔥🔥
This is the best ad I ever got from UA-cam this is the SH** dude , big will always be the king of my dude had a gift rest in peace king
When people do documentaries on music I love, it always gives me a greater appreciation, and let’s me know how blessed I am to live in the time period this music came out. Shout out to all 1990’s katts.
Remember when Flex dropped a bomb and these beats started.
Everyone turned it up and sang along.

This man really would’ve still been alive had he just dealt with certain situations differently RIP My bro it still doesn’t feel real 26years later I’m still trying to heal. The impact he has put on me was too great.
nah he has crazy health issues. Biggie wouldnt have lived long regardless even if he never got murdered
@@JaeThaGemini nah too many people say this you don’t know that for sure. He probably would’ve been on the same diet as fat joe if he was still alive.
@@Whoshotyaa Biggie was way more out of shape than Joe & unlike Joey, Biggie took pride in bein oversized. its literally his whole character. man had hella health issues that were exposed after his autopsy, UNRELATED to his wounds.
@@JaeThaGeminifacts I’ve said this for years. I’m a huge biggie fan but if he hadn’t gotten killed he would’ve met the same fate as big pun. He was almost 400 pounds and most of his organs were enlarged
