Notorious B.I.G. Born

Born May 21, 1972, Christopher George Latore Wallace (The Notorious B.I.G.) released only two studio albums — "Ready to Die" (1994) and "Life After Death" (1997) — but both are considered among the greatest hip-hop albums ever made. He was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles in 1997 at age 24.
