Notorious B.I.G aka Biggie Smalls One of The Notorious B.I.G albums was called life after death there was a part on and a part 2, the reason they called it this is because The Notorious B.I.G was shot four times in the chest in a drive by shooting pronounced dead at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. The album sold 690,000 copies in its first week and was certified Diamond three years later. This is a great inspiration for people who listen to his music because even know he was shot down and dead they used his album as a memory for him. The Notorious B.I.G done many songs in these 2 albums one of them being “kick in the door” The track "Kick In The Door" is directed at Nas, Jeru the Damaja, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah and even the track's producer DJ Premier. The subliminal messages had been speculated by listeners and confirmed by artists on several occasions, including XXL Magazine's April 2003 edition "The Making of: Life After Death". A lot of The Notorious B.I.G’s songs are about violence and thug life that he had to go through. He talks about from when he was a child through to his adolescent age to his current age before he died.
