2. THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G
The thought of death can unnerve lots of people. It’s not a subject many like to talk about. But rapper Notorious B.I.G didn’t shy away from the concept of death; he embraced it. After all, it was one of the major themes in his debut album Ready to Die.
Christopher George Latore Wallace, who went by stage names Notorious B.I.G, Biggie, and Biggie Smalls, discussed his death in the song “Suicidal Thoughts”, where he raps, “I swear to God I feel like death is f—ing calling me.” Biggie didn’t commit suicide like the song suggested. Instead, he was gunned down in a drive-by in L.A. three years later in 1997. Two weeks later his posthumous album was released, eerily titled Life After Death.
