You can celebrate Big Poppa’s life by learning about it thanks to various documentaries and biographical films released over the decade, including the 2009 biopic Notorious. The GeorgeTillman Jr.-directed film stars actor Jamal Woolard as the “Hypnotize” rapper and follows Biggie’s journey to stardom. The movie also starred Academy Award-winning actress Angela Bassett as the emcee’s mother, Voletta Wallace, Derek Luke as Sean “Diddy” Combs, Antonique Smith as Faith Evans, Naturi Naughton as Lil' Kim, and Anthony Mackie as the late Tupac Shakur.

In August 2020, Netflix released its documentary Biggie: I Got a Story to Tell. The project was executive-produced by Ms.Wallace and music mogul and longtime friend and collaborator, Diddy. It focuses on Biggie’s  life before he rose to fame as "The King of New York" and features "unprecedented access granted by the Wallace estate."

Shortly before his death, the “Player’s Anthem” emcee started a clothing line titled Brooklyn Mint, which focused on plus-size clothing. Efforts to revive the brand were made in 2004 in part by Biggie's former managers, Mark Pitts and Wayne Barrow. Apparel featuring Biggie’s image was sold, and a portion of the proceeds was given to several charitable organizations, including the Christopher Wallace Foundation.

Some of the collection can still be found online and in stores like Walmart retailers. So in honor of the rapper’s life, purchase an item of the late great emcee.

Biggie was killed when his son Christopher was just five months old. The emcee shares his only son with legendary singer and songwriter Faith Evans. CJ has spent most of his life trying to understand the global impact his father had on a genre and culture and his responsibility to upkeep that story.

As a result, he created Think BIG, a social movement that “advocates for the safe use of cannabis through the development of new ideas, products, stories, research, and charitable projects that honor cannabis and hemp abilities to aid in personal expression, health, and wellness.

The brand’s first release, Frank White, named after one of Biggie’s aliases, featured several products, including pre-rolls, vapes, gummies, apparel, and more, sold on the company’s website, as well as in pop-ups and select retailers.

Supporters of the late emcee can keep the discussion surrounding his music and legacy going on social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter by sharing posts about the late entertainer, links to some of their favorite records by him, and lyrics using hashtags like #longlivebiggie, #foreverBIG, #notorious, and many more.
