B.I.G.G.I.E.

March 9 was the 8th Anniversary of the death of Christ.opher Wal.lace aka Bi.ggie Smal.ls. He is reputed to be one the greatest rappers that ever lived and he was mourned all over again recently because many are missing him. Mr. Wallace, aka Frank White, was the type of rapper that talked of the dreams many from his part of town, Brooklyn, NY's Bed-Stuy, had. His part of town can be found all over the world, and these town's various dwellers's common denominator, no matter what part of the world they are found, is the lack of money with which to live decently. Chris rapped about the dreams of making it out of these towns and becoming somebody. One of his most famous raps, "Juicy" states his teachers told him he would become nothing, and told him so, blaringly, as a child. They said this because the only saw the bad and not the greatness that he and every other person that has ever had someone say those despicable words. The dreams that all persons have, the dreams of every ordinary person who can and will do extraordinary things, if allowed, were trying to be deferred in the body that was C. Wallace by the very beings that had the job of trying to develop those dreams.

He told the story of those dreams and of the many times they were almost deferred, and with the telling of those stories, he has fans that will always exult him. These fans will always remember and recognize his words as personal experiences he verbalized that they can recognize as their own. Biggie was an ordinary man who did extraordinary things.

March 12th, 2005, The FBI ended the investigation of his death and many are perplexed. This is another unsolved murder of a Black Man. It is disputed amongst many that the clues are clearly available to solve the crime that snuffed the life of this lyricist. Those same proponents of the theory that this murder can be solved further theorizes that the killers are part of a conspiracy. The conspiracy that the life of a Black person is not valued, and therefore does not warrant much effort into finding the killers, and for the case of a celebrity such as Christopher, only the appearance of such should be put forth. And now is the time to end such perfunctory appearances, and to do so nearest the 8th anniversary of his death is chilling.

Biggie, Brooklyn's Finest, RIP.
