Mammoth-sized rapper (6 feet 3 inches and close to 300 pounds) the Notorious B.I.G., alternately known as Biggie Smalls but born Christopher Wallace, released just one album during his lifetime: 1994's Ready to Die. Written by Wallace and produced by Sean Combs, it was a remarkable debut, distinguished by Wallace's thick, commanding baritone and his slow, matter-of-fact rhymes about the hustler's life he left behind for rap. Wallace would not attain true iconic status until after his murder, on March 9, 1997. I personally am not a huge fan of his music but i give him respect for being such a legend.

Only one post this week? As much as I enjoy your input in class, and appreciate it very much, I wish you'd spout off more in your blogs. Not longer posts necessarily, just throw out some opinions and defend them. I just don't feel that your writing is representative of your intelligence and classroom participation, and that you're treating the blogs like busy work when they don't have to be that at all.
