The Notorious B.I.G. American rapper from New York

Christopher George Latore Wallace, better known by his stage names the Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls, or simply Biggie, was an American rapper and songwriter. Rooted in the New York rap scene and gangsta rap traditions, he is widely considered one of the greatest rappers of all time. Wallace became known for his distinctive laidback lyrical delivery, offsetting the lyrics' often grim content. His music was often semi-autobiographical, telling of hardship and criminality, but also of debauchery and celebration.

Nasty Girl (The Notorious B.I.G. song) 2005 single by The Notorious B.I.G.

"Nasty Girl" is a song by rapper The Notorious B.I.G. It was released in 2005 in the US and on January 16, 2006 in the UK. The single reached number 1 in the United Kingdom. The song features guest appearances from Jagged Edge, P. Diddy, Avery Storm, and Nelly and the video also contains guest appearances from Pharrell, Usher, Fat Joe, 8 Ball & MJG, Teairra Mari, Jazze Pha, DJ Green Lantern, Naomi Campbell and Memphis Bleek. It can be found on the album Duets: The Final Chapter, a remixed album of Biggie Smalls' work. The lyrical section rapped by Notorious B.I.G. is actually lifted from another of his songs called "Nasty Boy", featured on his second album Life After Death. Despite this, the production to the song "Nasty Boy" is completely different from that for "Nasty Girl", and apart from the lyrical sample, and the second verse rapped in the style of Biggie's second verse of Nasty Boy, the two songs bear no similarities. The chorus, sung by Jagged Edge, which has the line "Grab your titties for B.I.G.", references "Player's Anthem", which he says "Bitches, rub your titties if you love Big Poppa".

Pop rap, also called pop hip hop, hip pop, melodic hip hop or melodic rap, is a genre of music fusing the rhythm-based lyricism of hip hop music with pop music's preference for melodious vocals and catchy tunes. This genre gained mainstream popularity during the 1990s, though the influences and roots of pop rap can trace back to late 1980s hip-hop artists such as Run DMC, LL Cool J, and Beastie Boys. The lyrics are often lighthearted, with choruses similar to those heard in pop music.

"Who Shot Ya?," or often, without the question mark, "Who Shot Ya," is a song by rapper The Notorious B.I.G., backed and produced by Puff Daddy. It was released by Puffy's emerging record label, Bad Boy Records, on February 21, 1995, on the B side of an alternate reissue of Biggie's single "Big Poppa/Warning," out since December 5, 1994. While the A side's "Big Poppa" was already a big pop hit, the reissue's closing track, "Who Shot Ya?"—with menacing lyrics delivered deftly—swiftly became a massive hit on the streets, and highly influential. Biggie's most infamous classic, it was also controversial. Despite never naming him, it started a "rap battle" with rapper Tupac.
