These Biggie Fans Are Turning Instagram Into A B.I.G. Exhibit

We'll always love Big Poppa.

After an all-too-brief life and career, the Notorious B.I.G. died on March 9, 1997, after a shooting in Los Angeles. But 18 years later, the outpouring of love for Big, his music and the legacy he left has yet to slow down -- nor should it.

The Brooklyn rapper is always especially remembered on this day, as fans and peers celebrate his life in any number of ways: Revisiting albums, reading or watching old interviews, getting lost in his videos, or just soaking in his lyrical brilliance.

Social media has given us another way to reflect, too: By sharing pictures of Big. There are the album covers and iconic photos that we see often, sure, but some have taken to Instagram to upload unique artistic portrayals of the legendary MC.

Some of these may have been created by the actual posters, while some may be sharing images they've seen or found somewhere else -- but one thing is for sure: These 18 images are a small yet awesome way to celebrate Big on the 18th anniversary of his death.
