He was killed in 1997, six months after his friend turned rival Tupac Shakur was murdered. They were 24 and 25 years old, respectively.

“And then by the time the eighties come around, when Christopher Wallace is in his pre adolescence, this is when the crack cocaine boom starts,” Tinsley says. “He's influenced by the streets that were around him. He's influenced by the music that's around him. And thankfully, he didn't lose his life in the streets at that point in time. He was allowed to grow into this musician that he eventually became.
