Notorious B.I.G. Autopsy Report Release an Outlet for Racist, Hate Comments, Fans Furious, Show Support

The Notorious B.I.G. has many fans that still listen to his music. A recent autopsy report will make fans remember him even more, but for some, it gives them a chance to say vile things about the late rapper.

TMZ released the details of B.I.G., real name Christopher Wallace, of his never-before-seen autopsy report when he was murdered in L.A. back in 1997, taking gunshot wounds to his chest, shoulder, leg, forearm, and scrotum.

According to the report, Wallace, who was listed at 6'1" and 395 lbs, was struck 4 times in a drive-by shooting on Willshire Blvd. while the 24-year-old rapper sat in the passenger seat of a Chevy Suburban.

Three of the shots were not fatal. The first shot struck Wallace in the left forearm and traveled down to his writer. The second shot struck him in the back, missing all vital organs, and exited through his left shoulder. The third shot struck him on his outer left thigh and exited through his inner left thigh.

However, the fourth shot was fatal. It entered Wallace's body through his right hip and ripped its way through several vital organs before coming to rest in his left shoulder area. The rport said that the bullet perforated Wallace's colon, liver, heart, and the upper lobe of his left lung.

Wallace was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital where doctors performed an emergency thoracotomy but it was too late. He was pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m.

"During the autopsy, the coroner listed Wallace as 'morbidly obese.' A toxicology test revealed Wallace had no traces of drugs or alcohol in his system at the time of his death," TMZ said of the report.

For many B.I.G. fans, the autopsy report was bittersweet and they can remember the late rapper. But for some, it gave them a chance to say hurtful things about B.I.G on the comment sections and giving proof that racism still exists and some are still against rap music.

In the comment section of New York Post's B.IG.'s story, one person said, "Wh.o cares? It was only rap. Doesn't really count as music." Another commenter said, "Just another dead gangster" while another said, "All his fat couldn't save the slob." One more said, "No loss at all, hopefully more to follow."

However, most of the comments were of people who supported the notorious rapper and lashed out at the negative comments.

"Wow, there really are some mean spirited people out there. I know nothing about this rapper. Thanks for filling me in. He was his mother's boy. The loss of a life should deserve some respect," one commenter said. Another said, "Dang, why all the hate, what did he do to offend some of you. Word is that he was a good dad, son, and friend. I am sorry for his family's loss. R.I.P BIG." One more said, "I love the music of BIG. I get a lot of stares when it is blasting, for I am an old white woman near 60. RIP BIG. I will listen to one of your CD's this afternoon."

One commenter left a long message for those who wrote racist, derogatory, offensive things about B.I.G.

"I am absolutely appalled by the racist and insensitive comments I have read below. I had no idea so much racism was still alive in the world today.I feel very sorry for all those who hate simply because they can and turn their back on acceptance and love. Although Biggie was not the greatest example for the youth I agree I did enjoy his music as a teenager and until this day. It is very sad that they are releasing this information now after so long simply to remain relevant. The world including his family and friends do not need to read about how much pain he was in before he died. Have some respect for them Geez! Not cool TMZ."
