In the 1997 Life After Death section, this part: "That month Wallace was involved in a domestic dispute with girlfriend Charli Baltimore at the Four Seasons hotel, over pictures of Wallace and other girls. Wallace had told Lil' Cease the night prior to take the bag with the photos out of the room, but she had not." I believe it should be "he had not," as it's referring to Lil' Cease, unless I'm misunderstanding something. 24.191.71.133 (talk) 16:51, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I changed the infobox image to the famous "King of New York" photo. However, that was reverted and the user who did it suggested this be on a talkpage, further adding that the infobox has been unchanged for years. What should we do? Wcamp9 (talk) 20:29, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
2Pac is like a poet, but in skill, Biggie is easily better. Anyways, the photo not only says that it is from a photoshoot or will be added. Yes, it is copyrighted. However, the other Biggie photo is copyrighted, and both follow the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteriaWcamp9 (talk) 02:57, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In a post from WuTangCorp.com, a rapper by the name of Notorious B1 is detailed. Notorious B1 (Big1), a Gulfport rapper, claims that Biggie or Diddy stole his name and beat for the song Juicy from his song Big Daddy, a name similar to Big Poppa. B1 said this: In 1993 i was signed to a small record label called Dragon Records in Gulfport Mississippi. I had a song that i wrote to Mtume called Juicy Fruit. I wrote the song to the actual record and it was called Big Daddy. Big Daddy was the lead single off the Mississippi Dough Boyz Album that was released in september 1993. It was released on the same day as Snoop Dog’s first album Doggystyle. The dough boyz album was made by two Gulfport rappers Tilidie and myself The Notorious Bigg One. (Notorious B1). Yeah I had the name and song first. I know it might be hard to believe but it is 100% the truth. We was on the radio first and in in the stores first. We sent packages to all the major Labels shopping for distribution. Just image my surprise when people started calling me saying they’ve just seen my video. We was trying to get the truth out back then but after B.i.g’s death i decided to leave it alone out of respect. I’m not fat anymore and a lot has changed but before i leave this b#### I want everybody to know the truth. I was the original Notorious Bigg One. Can we incorporate this into any Biggie article in one way or another Wcamp9 (talk) 04:28, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've identified a few issues with this article that bring it below the standards expected of a featured article. Pulling from my comment at TFAR, a brief skim of the article shows unreliable sources, including IMDb, being used in § Awards and nominations, failing criterion 1c. I also question the article's comprehensiveness (criterion 1b) if there are substantial-looking biographies of Wallace unused in the article and stuck in § Further reading. Feel free to let me know if these problems are resolved, but I will likely put this up at featured article review if there are no changes in a couple weeks. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 15:41, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
