* ShortLivedBigImpact: He died at 24, leaving a profound influence on rap in his wake. This applies to him even moreso than [[Music/TupacShakur 2Pac]], as while 2Pac at least had a decent body of work before his death, Biggie only has two albums in his entire discography (not counting posthumous releases, and even then, only one of those is unheard material). And his second album was released fifteen days ''after'' his death.
