  1. When Biggie died, I was six years old so I didn't know much of his music yet. After studying hip hop I think he is the greatest MC of all thime and that Life After Death is hip hop's greatest double album.

  3. Make sure you're using Adobe Reader 7.0 or later to open and read the files.

  5. great! yeah... my apple preview has always worked with your pdf files and the last few months didnt (because of the new password protection in the PDF maybe?). I just assumed the file was corrupted and would be replaced/updated at some point. I downloaded adobe 9 after your suggestion, set it as the preference for PDF files and it works fine now.

    anyone else using a macbook/apple should prolly take note. thanks again for the help.

  10. @wannez - The Scarface cover was originally planned for that month but at the very last minute Biggie was killed and they added a new Biggie cover and also inserted those Biggie articles into the magazine.
