Remembering the life and legacy of Biggie Smalls

Hip-hop experts join the show to celebrate the life of one of the greatest rappers ever.

It is impossible to talk about hip-hop without speaking about the contribution and legacy of Christopher Wallace, better known as Biggie Smalls. March 9 makes it 27 years since the rapper’s tragic death; however, his songs, lyrics, and impact still resonate with us just as they did three decades ago. In order to honor the life of a hip-hop legend who left us far too soon, Dr. Chris Edmin, professor and author of “#HipHopEd: The Compilation on Hip-Hop Education,” and Justin Tinsley, sports journalist and author of “It Was All a Dream: Biggie and the World That Made Him,” join theGrio with Marc Lamont Hill.
