Celebrated in hardcover, a deeply reported and richly textured
biography of Christopher Wallace-now in paperback!The Notorious
B.I.G. was one of the most charismatic and talented artists of the
1990s. Born Christopher Wallace and raised in Clinton
Hill/Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, Biggie lived an almost archetypal rap
life: young trouble, drug dealing, guns, prison, a giant hit
record, the wealth and international superstardom that came with
it, then an early violent death.Biggie released his first record,
Ready to Die, in 1994, when he was only 22. Less than three years
later, he was killed just days before the planned release of his
second record, Life After Death.Journalist Justin Tinsley's It Was
All a Dream is a fresh, insightful telling of the life beyond the
legend. It is based on extensive interviews with those who knew and
loved Biggie, including neighbors, friends, DJs, party promoters,
and journalists.And it places Biggie's life in context, both within
the history of rap but also the wider cultural and political forces
that shaped him, including Caribbean immigration, the Reagan era
disinvestment in public education, street life, the war on drugs,
mass incarceration, and the booming, creative, and influential
1990s music industry. This is the story of where Biggie came from,
the forces that shaped him, and the legacy he has left behind.
