Mashups | DOSVEC – Just A Poppa
Posted by Mach on March 9, 2012
15 years ago today, the legendary Biggy Smalls was shot down in LA. Although long gone, his spirit has lived on and inspired many in the music industry. These days hes just the friend most of us wish we had. This is one of my favorite mashups from DOSVEC, it is nothing too crazy yet still sends the right message and vibes about Big Poppa. 15 years is a long time, and it was only a year ago that the FBI released their file on the cold case that is Biggy’s murder. Whether your east or west side, a fan of Tupac or B.I.G., the sun still rises and sets just the same.

Hip-Hop | FBI Releases Biggie Murder File | Hip-Hop
Posted by Mach on April 8, 2011
The FBI released their very redacted file on the murder of Notorious B.I.G. I just finished reading the whole thing and will give a brief overview of key points stated. Note that because the FBI blacked out a lot of things including many names there is only so much one can take from it.
Biggie was pumped full of 9mm Gecko ammunition which is only manufactured in Germany, and can only be obtained in the US in NJ and CA. Most if not all of the security members and LAPD present at the function were Bloods and known to do security for Death Row.
Something else I found interesting was that many unnamed individuals were able to help with complete sketches of the shooter. The file talks a lot about Tupacs legal history, the East Vs West rivalry, and most importantly Biggie’s involvement with the Genevese crime family of NY.
Check out the file yourself on the FBI’s Website.
