But aside from maybe NWA, DMX, and a few other notable examples—the Geto Boys 1994 track "My Mind is Playing Tricks on Me," which detailed paranoia, or Biggie Smalls "Suicidal Thoughts"—it's traditionally been quite rare for rappers to speak at all about mental health, partly because of the stigma that's been ingrained within its cultural bedrock.

It's always funny to me how often the hagiography of Southern rap ends up being written by observers from Europe; the relentlessly forward-looking attitude of US rap media (other than the requisite tributes to Biggie, 'Pac, and Jay Z) means that the creativity that was happening in, say, 1999 New Orleans is not widely understood or dissected.

Not only do I have to make rap music that's gonna appeal to an old nigga who grew up listening to Biggie, I gotta also appeal to that white, gay person living in Ohio who just coming out; he don't listen to rap, but he like the sounds of it, and he can relate to it.

Other notable items include a copy of the unreleased Faust record, headstone props for Biggie, Tupac, and Nas from a video, a copy of Bob Dylan's unreleased novel Tarantula, The Shaggs business cards, a zine from 1978 where Debbie Harry discussed abortion and sex education and other beautiful and rare items you didn't even know existed.

Boomers never got over losing Jimi, Janis, and Jim during a ten-month span of 1970 and 1971, but consider the Generation X icons who were snuffed out at an early age: Tupac Shakur, Jeff Buckley, Brandon Lee, Elliott Smith, Biggie Smalls, River Phoenix, Shannon Hoon, Aaliyah and a certain beloved flannel-clad rocker from Aberdeen, Wash.

From the violent drug dealer parables of Biggie and Jay Z to the eventual trap house bluntness of Gucci Mane and Migos, the explicit nature of the thematic content broadened as it grew bolder, and with it came an acceptance of criminality by a mainstream made up largely of people that never knew or grew up in that life.

From Coinage: 7 Most Expensive Music Videos Tupac's memory will also be honored this year with All Eyez on Me, a biopic set to hit theaters June 16, while USA Network is developing a television series titled Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and Biggie featuring Marcc Rose as Tupac, a role the actor previously played in 2015's Straight Outta Compton.

With more than 20 years in the music business, Faith Evan is finally giving fans what they've been craving since the '90s, a collaborative project with the late Notorious B.I.G. The album, titled The King & I, tells a story about the life that Faith shared with Biggie: from getting married only nine days after meeting, to coping with his untimely death in 1997.

James Worthy's Game 7 triple-double for the Los Angeles Lakers against Detroit in 1988 to clinch back-to-back titles for L.A. was a biggie just as I had begun college, but it's hard to top what LeBron James did with Miami in 2013 in perhaps the best finals I've covered in my 27 seasons on the N.B.A. beat.

Of course, most of this decades-old context isn't making it into the mainstream; most onlookers are just enjoying an old-school, epic rap battle of the sort not seen since the '90s — like Tupac's legendary "Hit 'Em Up," his hilarious diss of Biggie Smalls — or the various shots that Jay-Z, Nas, and 50 Cent traded across the early aughts.

Apart from the noise, which should really be no biggie (we recommend these 3M safety earmuffs for $25.97), there are only two things that come to my mind as potential drawbacks of owning a Shop-Vac: cleaning a plush or antique carpet or rug (you&aposll want to go easy on those), and fitting it in a tiny New York City apartment.

" As proof that Biggie had heeded his advice, Tupac cited the difference between his early track, the aggressive "Party and Bullshit," and softer songs from his debut Ready to Die like "Big Poppa," which appealed more to the ladies: "Soon as he buy that wine, I just creep up from behind / And ask what your interests are, who you be with?

Faith Evans stunned fans this week when it was revealed that the R&B star and widow of Biggie Smalls had tied the knot with hit-making producer and VH193 Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star Stevie J. According to TMZ, the couple said "I do" in their Las Vegas hotel room Tuesday night surrounded by family and friends after applying for their marriage license in Clark County.

Ginsburg's health has prompted concern from liberals and among her legion of fans, who refer to the former American Civil Liberties Union litigator as the "Notorious R.B.G.," after the late rapper and fellow Brooklynite Biggie Smalls, who went by the name "Notorious B.I.G." Democrats fret that Ginsburg's retirement from the court would allow President Donald Trump to appoint her replacement, further solidifying the court's conservative majority.

But there is some raw amusement to be had, say, when Madea and one of her neighbors, Aunt Bam (Cassi Davis), razz young trick-or-treaters (Madea referring to an overweight boy in a cow costume as "Biggie" is bad taste at its most timeless), or when the fierce quasi-matriarch and her crew counsel Brian on the types of corporal punishment he ought to be inflicting on his child.

Earlier this week, Amazon debuted its Dash buttons in the UK, Germany and Austria for instant product reorders, and now it is gearing up for yet another new launch in Europe — one that could be a biggie: the launch of Echo, its voice-controlled speaker and smart home hub, for the first time outside of the U.S.. Earlier today, Amazon sent out a typically cryptic invite to an event in London on Wednesday, September 14.

Sometimes it was photographers who'd put their foot down, like when Jason Keeling refused to let LL Cool J take his shirt off for a cover photo for YSB Magazine because he wanted to capture him as an artist and not a sex symbol, or when fine art photographer Barron Claiborne ignored P Diddy's protests that Biggie would look like the Burger King as opposed to the King of New York when he captured the simple, iconic close-up portrait of the rapper wearing a plastic crown.

There are dozens and dozens of fossil fuel production subsidies — OCI's report has a whole appendix devoted to listing them — but here they are broken down by the biggest offenders: You probably can't read that text, so here are the top six: (I listed six because that sixth one is the biggie for coal.) These kinds of obscure tax loopholes and accounting tricks are not widely known or debated, partially because you have to be a tax lawyer to understand them, and partially because they are simply old.

As always, the competition was fluffy and fierce, but it was Flynn aka GCHP CH Belle Creek's All I Care About Is Love, with help from his handler Bill McFadden, who beat out thousands of other canines from 202 breeds to win the coveted purple ribbon and title of top dog After winning the Non-Sporting Group earlier in the show, Flynn took center stage at New York City's Madison Square Garden for the Best in Show round with Lucy the Borzoi, Biggie the pug, Slick the Border Collie, Bean the Sussex spaniel, Ty the giant schnauzer and Winston the Norfolk terrier filling out the pack.

The video montage leaves me as wrung out as an old dish rag: lynchings; Biggie Smalls spitting his flow on a neighborhood sidewalk; a young Angela Davis smiling; breathtakingly vicious police assaults on black men, women, and children; Miles Davis veiled behind dark glasses; Drake performing on a stage; dancers from the Harlem ballroom scene mercilessly death-dropping; Odell Beckham Jr. displaying his outsized athleticism; a black woman sweating and hollering in her church; heterosexual couples grinding on a dance floor; the farcical eyewitness accounts that have become internet memes; more police savagery; an alien monster ravaging a city as armed forces throw all their military ordinance at it; a solar flare erupting from the sun's surface.
