Nominated by Conan:

The Notorious B.I.G.

Christopher George Lattore "The Notorious B.I.G" Wallace was a rapper from Brooklyn, NY. He was an essential figure of the East Coast rap scene in the early to mid 90s. The heart and soul of Bad Boy records, Biggie's work is sometimes shadowed by his infamous involvment in the West/East coast rap fued - a beef Biggie denied being a part of.

His music was equal to his legacy, as it turns out. Biggie had a relaxed, easy going flow coupled with hardcore lyrics and a storytelling ability that combined and contrasted nicely with P Diddy's commercial-friendly beats. But there's not much I can say that doesn't already speak for itself.
