Christopher Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997)， also known as Biggie Smalls (after a stylish gangster in 1975's ''Let's Do it Again'') and Frank White (from ''King of New York'')， but best known as The Notorious B.I.G. (Business Instead of Game and， since his death, Books Instead of Guns)。 出生于Bedstuy, Brooklyn, New York。流行音乐史上最著名的死人之一，可以说是大胖子（有对“可以说是”持质疑态度的，请参照同样已故Rapper Big Punisher）。生前只发表了一张专辑，死后成为不朽的传奇。大概因为形象问题，人缘远逊宿敌2Pac。（别看人家胖，他老婆可是非洲裔伊能静Faith Evans，还有一个黑芭比Lil’Kim终日缠他不放）尽管人生短短，Biggie在Rap领域有着令人惊叹的地位（"Rakim is Father，Biggie is Son"），死后更是释放出无尽的怨恨……不对，是影响力。P Diddy的精神向导，Bad Boy的不朽篇章，让我们伴随这令人陶醉的旋律，追逐浪花……
