Biggie’s Best Bball References

If you didn’t know, now you know.

Canibus once rapped “The greatest rapper of all time died on March 9th,” and though we try to leave the hip-hop stuff to our friends over at XXL, we’ve got plenty of love for The Notorious B.I.G. here at SLAM. After watching a recent Outside the Lines special about Biggie’s relationship with Shaq, we couldn’t help but realize that Big had a thing for sneaking hoops shoutouts into his rhymes. So exactly 14 years after his tragic death, we reminisce by bringing you a collection of Biggie’s best roundball references. R.I.P. to one of the greatest MCs to ever hold a mic.

    @Allen P – Pac was realer, more raw and yeah, I guess you could say more emotional than BIG. BUT nobody did it like BIG. His flow, voice, style and charisma put him in a class all his own. He’s a better MC than Pac – everyone knows that. Respect to both legends though, and RIP to 2 of the greatest ever.

    How can everybody know it when I personally know scores of people who disagree?
    oh and its “epilogue” ep along. Epilogue means the end of the story. Get it? He is saying you know the end of the story.
