The death of Biggie Smalls, coming six months after the murder of friend-turned-rival Tupac Shakur, ushered the rap game and its East Coast-West Coast feud into the national spotlight By Natalie.
We may have finally discovered Biggie's killer.
According to retired LAPD detective Greg Kading, Wardell Fouse a.k.a Darnell Bolton a.k.a. 'Poochie' was the triggerman who killed Notorious B.I.G. fifteen years ago today – his fee for carrying out the murder was $13,000. The office uk torrent complete series.
On March 9, 1997, Biggie was shot to death while sitting in a Chevy Suburban outside of a hip-hop industry party in Los Angeles.
Biggie's drive-by shooting occurred just six months after his friend turned foe, 25-year-old Tupac Shakur, suffered a similar fate after a boxing match in Las Vegas. These killings remain the worst tragedies in hip-hop history.
Complex magazine sat down with Kading, the man who spent three years investigating the murder of Christopher Wallace, and revealed that the case will never be 'solved':
'It comes down to how you define solved. Both law enforcement agencies—the Las Vegas Police Department and the L.A.P.D.—have drawn the conclusions that Tupac was killed by Orlando Anderson and Biggie Smalls was killed by Wardell ‘Poochie' Fouse.
Both shooters are dead. Orlando Anderson was killed outside a Compton record shop in May 1998. Poochie died in July 2003 as a result of multiple gunshot wounds. He was shot in the back while riding his motorcycle in Compton.
He was supposedly killed as a result of in-fighting between the Mob Pirus—Suge's Blood associates—and another Blood gang known as the Fruit Town Pirus. Windows loader download.
That's all the justice that these cases will see. The co-conspirators are never going to be prosecuted. Unfortunately, the cases are so complicated and convoluted. These will never see criminal prosecution.'
According to Kading, there is no proactive investigation going on in Biggie's murder case, even though the LAPD says the case is ongoing.
On The David Mack & Amir Muhammad Theory, Kading says:
'There was all this exaggeration of information, and a whole theory was built on it, which never had a basis but captured the popular imagination.
Actually, the individual who brought that information to the L.A.P.D. recanted and said, ‘I made it all up. It was all bullshit.''The L.A.P.D. always knew the problems with Russell Poole's theory.
They knew his jailhouse informants were discredited, they were unreliable, and they were lying.
The L.A.P.D. knew that there was no basis whatsoever to [Poole's] theory.
Even though the public picked up on it and [author/journalist] Randall Sullivan was running with it, with his book LAbyrinth, and Russell Poole had convinced himself that it was such, the L.A.P.D. knew there was nothing behind it.'
Today marks one of the worst days in hip-hop history and we finally have a glimpse into the man who shot and killed one of music's greatest. Rest in Peace Biggie.

Who Killed Biggie Smalls
Biggie Smalls Killed in Drive-By Shooting
That night, he and fellow Bad Boy Entertainment rapper Sean 'Puffy' Combs attended an after-party at a nearby museumg. After the party ended, Smalls departed in the front passenger seat of a Chevy Suburban driven by a bodyguard.
As they were waiting at a stoplight on Wilshire Blvd., a car made a u-turn behind the Suburban and in front of a trailing SUV carrying Smalls' security. A second car, a black Chevy Impala, pulled alongside Smalls' car.
Randall Sullivan describes in Rolling Stone: 'The driver, alone in the sedan, was a black male whose blue suit, bow tie and fade haircut suggested Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam sect. He looked B.I.G. in the eye for a moment, then reached across his body with a blue-steel automatic pistol held in his right hand, braced it against his left forearm and emptied the gun into the front passenger seat of the Suburban.'
Smalls, shot six times, was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m.
Who Killed Biggie Smalls?
There had been rumors that Smalls was involved in the murder of Shakur; many suspected that Smalls' murder may have been retaliation for Shakur.
Randall Sullivan, author of 'LAbryrinth,' presents the case that Death Row CEO Marion 'Suge' Knight ordered the hit on Smalls, though not necessarily as revenge for Shakur. Knight, who had been imprisoned in February, employed crooked LAPD officer David Mack, a member of the Mob Piru Bloods, to organize the murder; Mack called on associate Amir Muhammad to carry out the shooting. Sullivan further contends that Knight had connections in the LAPD who hindered the investigation.
Another theory is that members of the Crips gang, who were widely believed to have carried out the hit on Shakur, killed Smalls over an unpaid debt. Bad Boy had been employing Crips as security and allegedly did not pay what it owed.
The Wallace family has filed several wrongful death lawsuits against the LAPD and the city of Los Angeles for their failure to prosecute the case. In 2005, a judge declared a mistrial after it was discovered that a LAPD detective had withheld testimony from a jailhouse informant linking at least two officers to the killing. A new lawsuit, filed in 2008, is still being heard.

After his release, he began rapping. He signed a record deal with Sean Combs, changed his name to Notorious B.I.G. and released 'Ready to Die' in 1994. '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,' writes Rolling Stone.
It was his only album released in his lifetime. His second album, 'Life After Death,' was released weeks after his murder, debuting at No. 1 on the pop and R&B chart. In March 2002, he was part of the inaugural class inducted into the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame; Tupac Shakur was also inducted.
'Biggie was a gifted storyteller with a sense of humor and an eye for detail, and his narratives about the often violent life of the streets were rarely romanticized; instead, they were told with a gritty, objective realism that won him enormous respect and credibility,' writes MTV. 'The general consensus in the rap community was that when his life was cut short, sadly, Biggie was just getting started.'
