why we chose smalls

We thought it be fun to do someone that most people don't know about, Biggie smalls is a amazing song writer when he rap's he tells a story and express how hard life was for him and his mother. Even if he's dead he's still seems to be a genius on the mic and better lyric wise than other rappers today which is impressive for 300 pound and 24 year old man.
