Life After Death: The Legacy of Notorious B.I.G.
Music fans still mourn the death of the Notorious B.I.G., a legend, an icon, a son and a father of two, every year on March 9. Today [May 21] we celebrate his life on what would have been his 40th birthday. True to his name, B.I.G. left an oversized mark on music, on people and on culture, that shows no signs of fading. Here, we take a piece-by-piece look at Biggie's impact. —Alex Gale
