B.I.G. MEMORIES

On this, the 20th anniversary of his death, music services are remembering hip-hop icon Christopher Wallace, aka The Notorious B.I.G.

Spotify's Rap Caviar playlist pays tribute to Biggie by incorporating some of his key rhymes alongside an array of artists on whom he exercised a profound influence.

Apple Music features a salute heavy on the hits, kicking off with the indelible "Hypnotize." You can jump into that here.

Vevo has posted a thoughtful essay by Timmhotep Aku tracing the outsize rapper's extraordinary legacy. The piece is studded with classic videos, of course.

The socials, meanwhile, are filled with tributes and recollections.
