As The Notorious BIG, Christopher Wallace released some of the best hip-hop of the 1990s.
His murder, six months after the fatal shooting of his West Coast rival Tupac Shakur, left a hole in the genre that has never quite been healed.
15 years ago today, Biggie Smalls was shot dead on the way back to his hotel after The Annual Soul Train Music Awards party in Los Angeles. We celebrate his life with five classic videos below.
'Party and Bulls**t' (1993's debut single from the Who's The Man? soundtrack)
'Juicy' (1994 single from Ready to Die)
'Hypnotize' (1996 lead single from Life After Death)
'Mo Money Mo Problems' (1997's posthumous single)
