Today marks the 13th anniversary of the death of Notorious B.I.G. To honor the memory of this innovative rapper, we thought we'd share with you a dazzling collection of classic, iconic, and barely seen photos.
This gallery of press photos, video outtakes, live shots and award-show arrival snaps celebrate all the different phases of the Brooklyn legend's life, from young upstart in Sean "Puff Daddy" Combs' Bad Boy camp to global icon, suffering from "Mo Money, Mo Problems."
Pour out some beer from your 40 oz. in honor of our fallen homie and let's take a photographic walk down memory lane. Plus, if you're in the mood, please check out Biggie's videos at his MTV page and the tributes on Twitter via the #RIPBIG trending topic.
