To commemorate the anniversary of Biggie’s death our throwback joint of the week will be dedicated to the late and great rapper with two of MMIM’s favorite videos – Big Poppa and Juicy. When Biggie left this Earth, we lost an impeccable talent, but his music will always live on.

Your Title Happy Birthday Biggie!
MMIM wanted to do a tribute to The Notorius B.I.G since today is his birthday. The late great rapper would have been 37 years old, and while he is not here physically, his music and legacy will continue to live on. This man left a mark on the industry being one of the best lyricist’s in the game and he will forever be missed. Here are some of our favorite Biggie tunes. Let us know what your favorite Biggie classic is.
Mood Of The Week: Complacent
Okay so it has been sooo long since we have done a Mood of the Week on the site, but for some reason I feel it’s needed. Sooner or later time reveals what is real, and sometimes those truths are not always what you want to hear because you either were naive to what was happening right before your eyes. This eventually can cause you to be in complete shock once everything has come to light. However, these three songs by these iconic rappers in my opinion have a way of taking me to another place and forgetting all the B.S. that has been positioned in my life. Because when I remember that the sky is my limit I begin to smile, because life is too short to focus on the negative. Enjoy these classic pieces. What’s your mood this week?

The Dream Freestyle Over Biggie Tracks
In honor of Biggie, on March 9th The Radio Killa aka The Dream stopped by a radio station and did sung over a couple of Biggie tracks. Not bad.

Throwback Joint of The Week
This week’s throwback is brought to the Notorious B.I.G. with two of his hit’s “Juicy” and “Sky’s the Limit” featuring 112. Biggie was noted for his clever flow, his dark semiautobiographical lyrics and story telling abilities. During his reign, everywhere you go you would hear a biggie smalls joint, even so in the present after his death March 9, 1997. MTV ranked Biggie at #3 on their list of “The Greatest MCs of All Time.” Due to the attribution of his success and heavy influence on music, in my book, he is noted as a cultural icon.
I was and still am an AVID Biggie Smalls lover and it was hard to decide of one video…so why not bring two… Both of these hits bring great memories. Share yours with MMIM. Make sure to check out the biopic “Notorious” set to be released in theaters January 16th!

Looks like there are some oldies, but goodies on here folks, as well as some new joints including “Go Hard” ft. Jay-Z and Santogold which we posted earlier this week. The soundtrack looks like its going to be a classic, on track 11 featuring CJ (CJ is Biggie’s and Faith’s son), its a duet between father and son. The Jadakiss track (#9) is an actual letter that Jadakiss wrote to Big at the time of his death. I’m really looking forward to picking up this soundtrack as well as seeing the movie.
