He left us wanting so much more. We base his career on only two albums worth of material. His style was hardcore but so melodic to the average ear. This is where Diddy helped in his overall sound. He had timeless music that separated himself from the rest. The average goon to a secretary would recite his lyrics.

His big charm is what people fell in love with. If Big had a dollar and it was his last, he would give it to you if you needed it. His lyrical style was so simple that a child could sing or rap along. But his colorful images that displayed when he told a story or delivered an ill verse was his Picasso. Some dudes were technically too ill where it just went over people's head, not the case with Big. You partied or just listened to a great story that you felt you were personally a part of. Big was that dude. I miss him dearly.
