NOTORIOUS B.I.G. - Before They Were GONE

BEFORE The Notorious B.I.G.’s debut album ‘Ready to Die’ would go on to sell 4 million copies.
BEFORE he was nominated for a Grammy for his track ‘Big Poppa’
BEFORE there was ever an East Coast-West Coast feud.
BEFORE ‘Born Again’ would be released after his passing enabling Biggie to work with Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Missy Elliott, Method Man, and Busta Rhymes from beyond the grave.
BEFORE he hooked up with Lil Kim but married Faith Evans.
As a youngster Christopher was a model student winning awards for his remarkable talents in English, but it was the streets where he felt most at home. His friend took to calling him Big but as an aspiring rapper and drug dealer he adopted the name Biggie Smalls, a reference to a character in the 1975 film ‘Let’s Do It Again’. He went to school with other rappers DMX, Jay Z, anfd Busta Rhymes but didn’t collaborate or work with them. Biggie was busy on the street selling crack from as young as 12, he was arrested at 17 and then decided to focus more on his musical ambitions performing on the street and recording demos in his mama’s basement. 5 years later he would be a global icon but he found little peace while on top, consumed with paranoia always looking over his shoulder. His suspicions were justified with him being the victim of a drive by shooting outside the Soul Train Awards in Las Angeles on March 9th, 1997. The case has never been solved, he died when he was only 24 years old.
My name is Michael McCrudden documenting the life of The Notorious B.I.G. life, prior to his passing, here for you on Before They Were Dead.

Anthony Pomales thats so dope, you dont even know how lucky you are
Anthony Pomales u from tha hood lol
Anthony Pomales cool...
That must be inspiring!
Anthony I must say WOW I can't get that out of my head you are so lucky I bet your so popular and famous because of this
Well you did Biggie and Pac so you obviously have to do Eazy.
Plz
YEAH
Honestly if he doesn't do the gangsta rap godfather I gotta unsub
yessssss
eazy already done fool
Biggie will never be beaten in the rap game, he's the absolute GOAT
Have you heard of Whizkid Khalifa
Exactly 💯
@@badbella1785 tupac bettre
@@walmerjuicwalmer they both have different styles but Tupac was also good .... Rip
@@walmerjuicwalmer why was Tupac better ?? 3xplain ?
I wish that I could time travel back to March 8th 1997 and save Biggie's life.
Yeah if you were in a delorean
I wish I could travel back in 94!! So no beef would happen
Me to bro
And i wish i could travel back to 96 to tell 6ix 9ine's dad to wear the condom
@@dripkid1128 hahahaha
today he would be 44
Suomi perkele
Wow he would still be pretty good for afe
Age
Hey look 69 likes!!!
@@maxxard7992 lol
Much respect to Biggie R.I.P
Biggie was just 24!? He looked and sounded almost 40, damn
he didn't look that old
I thought the same
died in 1997
And pac was 25 when he died. They were raised in a different era where young boys had to become men asap
NO HE DIDNT !!!!!!!!!
bro I never knew he was ONLY 24 when he died. I'm 23... that's crazy
Yes, that is what is so sad. I don't think people really understand that 2Pac and Biggie were so young when they died. I am way past the age they were when they died. It was sad when the reports came in when they both died because we all knew they were so young. I am sure they would be different people now if they had lived. They would both be in their late 40s.
ReneeDreams Jay Z is older than they were and he still does performances and features. Pac and Big could've done so much but their careers were cut short. The game is so unforgiving.
Jason Banco good luck! one year left for you 👍
Shakir Newton XD
He was only 2 months away from his 25th birthday too.
Rip to my nigga and inspiration The Notorious B.I.G
RIP NOTORIOUS B.I.G🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💔😩😥😥😩💔🙏🙏🙏😩😥😥😩🙏🙏💔😩😥😩💔🙏🙏😩😥🙏💔
sleep eazy big. Definitely one of the best to ever do it
He killed one of the greatest tho biggie didn't even have good raps
+Gary Goldman i bet you like drake huh
+David Martinez I hate Drake.. What's your point?
David Martinez how can you possibly believe that biggie made bad music? idek bruh..
+David Martinez That's a terrible opinion you got there.
I hate it when people call BIG a studio gangster 1.He was affiliated with the Crips 2.He was a crack dealer 3.He was bout that life
he is a studio gangster most of these rappers start getting gang related after they become famous.
+King Licwid biggie was in? Multiple shootouts and robberies he and pac were f
Gangster for different reasons
@@kinglicwid8631 he was 12 when he started selling crack. 12.
Randy Bowen biggie was from the hood, bed-stuy brooklyn you wouldn’t survive a day in that area in the 90s. His mom although did a hell of a job by trying to raise him but he was still poor and lived in the ghetto.
nigga just because ypur affiliated with a gang doesnt prove anything alotta people sold crack to get by and your not saying why he was about that life dumbass
Rip Christopher Wallace
Lil Kim before they were white
HAHAHAHAHA!
Lol
Racist
@@supermarionicky8327 you
LMFAOOOOO
Ilove the way how rapper back then such as biggie, and 2pac and more actually telled stories in there raps but now a days all they say is Gucci, Gucci, Gucci,
Imagine if b.i.g and 2pac were still alive
You clearly know nothing about Biggie, for one he dropped out of school to start dealing full time at 17 years old and never went back to school, he also didn't meet lil Kim until he got out of prison which was 6 months later. And also never played music in his mums basement cos she didn't have a basement, she lived in a block of apartments!
Your comment was more interesting than the actual video lol
thank you!
Good job
thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows this "reporter" is full of shit lol he had no idea wtf he's doing
I was gonna comment that in the movie he met Kim as an adult lol
...the best rapper EVER! Peroid! Biggie Smalls👑
Period*
nah, everyone know obviously the best rapper ever is 2pac.
ItsSanityBtw no 2pac was a talking he was only a public speaker he talk about life and stuff his music sucks you kids can't speaker you guys are like 10 you were not around then
@@wilderelpillo nah sorry mate biggie is the best rapper all the way
@@fbi2672 “you kids can’t speaker”
Before they were famous: do yourself
JP B haha savafe
JP B u mean after
he did it already
u stupid people rather B.I.G than u
what king assehole
There was truly no man who was a big rap icon like Biggie Smalls.
24? Damn, why'd it have to happen so young?
Tupac and Deathrow were jealous
+Raiders7528 tupac was in deathrow 😂
Death Row Records is a record company founded in 1991. Tupac started Rapping for another Label in 1991 while with Digital Underground. Tupac Signed to Deathrow in Sept 1995, And Died on Sept 1996. You do the Math!
+Raiders7528 And?
+Floyd jackson and what?
Glad we got to witness a Notorious B.I.G in our life. Wish he made more albums and done more but will remember his 2 albums. Thank God for the 90s.
He looked waaaaay older than 24.
It's what smoking crack does to you keep kid
+Jatt Larkar LOL. He didn't do crack.
+Jatt Larkar listen to control kendrick lamar's verse

2pac is the greatest rapper of all time
L
Biggie is clearly the GOAT, Nas is the closest one.
Colby lol biggie is not the goat pac is the goat and nas feel off pac is in the guinness book of world records all eyez on me went platinum in 4 hours and he sold over 150 million records big is no where near that his lil 20 million and nas nore biggie is in there Shit eminem is better then both of them and he is fuckin white that's sad
Sure kid, because selling records definitely determines talent.
If it's like that, then Kanye and Jay-Z are better than 2Pac because they sold more than him lmao.
These 2Pac fans man...
shut the fuck up and tupac wrote circles around biggie pac was a tripple threat he was political he could act and rap, people are already saying that the tupac movie all eyez on me makes the notorious movie look like a cartoon lol biggies music hasn't been in commercials or video games he is not in the Guinness book of world records but pac Shit is
3:50 1999? He died in 1997
I heard 1989
tiger spankr he said 1989
Notorious probably had one of the best flows of all time, but Tupac's lyrics were deep and covered a wide range of topics. They were both the best in their own way and it really comes down to how someone, as an individal, listen's to music and what they prefer.
Well said ! 👏👏👏👏
Do Outkast before they were famous!!!!
9:01 Shit.This man look like thin version of Suge Knight.
Very similiar to Suge.Dont ya think?
yea lol

LA TIGRE yes and he was a blood
2:05 it sounds like he's rapping 😂
😂
Growing up, in Bedford Stuyvesant or Bed-Stuy the legend of Biggie lived on in the streets of Brooklyn. You should check out the street art that embraces his warm presence. It's reprenstation is vital.
Before they were famous Zlatan Ibrahimovic

My favorite biggie song on LAD is Ten crack commandments
Represented the East Coast!!! One more chance featuring Total is one of my favorite songs!!!

+Strange Alien Yeah but his music was huge for the Southern Rap community he was the next big star for us
+J. E$cko Beats yea ik i wish he was still alive he was almost better than biggie and tupac
I love biggie , not just because his music but he shows you can still make it no matter your size
it blows mind how his first album was ready to die and after he died his second albums is life after death like Biggie knew what was Coming or something
R.I.P B.I.G
He was the biggest and I respect that he was an amazing artist and his music will always live on R.I.P bigge
And the illest
RIP TO THE 👑 KING YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED

Biggie never worked with eminem. He died before em was famous or could even meet biggie.
How nigga? Please enlighten me
+Donovan Blackmon biggie died in 1997 and em made his slim shady ep in 97 which was later discovered by dr dre and he didn't get famous til 1999. Biggies dead so how tf can he work with biggie if big is not even alive?
Watch the video dumbass he even says the album was released after he passed as in it was worked on more by other artists after his death
+Donovan Blackmon clearly? Nigga stop bandwagoning and show me your proof.
+HelloIm69 what?
Can you do DMX?

DMX needs to make a comeback album
Not a fan of DMX because he’s such a terrible rapper
Thumbs up if you think his music will live on forever

My downfall, You're Nobody(Till Somebody Kills You), and Sky's The Limit are the best on the album IMO.

Shout Out To My Crip Nigga Biggie R.I.P See You In Heaven. Your Music Inspires Me As A Young Black Rapper R.I.P
R.I.P Notorious B.I.G
Can u plz do before they were famous: Bruno Mars ??
He didn't get shot leaving the soul train music awards... he got shot leaving an industry party after
Biggie was considered one of the greats when he was alive but he was not the greatest of all time he is one of them but not in the top ten.
Yeah cause your opinion on rap decides everyone's ranking? Fuck off he's #1 to me doesn't mean I'm right though. Stop acting like your opinions the world standard bitch.
its subjective. but in the top theres always the same rappers that goes to number 1. so having the top is BS in my opinion. lets just have all of them as top
Rip. Big 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
Champagne on the grave RIP Big
a fly guy or a high guy from bed-stuy putting a swelling on ya eye!!! R.I.P. B.I.G.!!!
