On March 9, 1997, hip-hop artist Notorious B.I.G. was shot in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles, leaving the rap industry devastated. Now on the 15th anniversary of his death, MTV News RapFix remembers his life. From March 9 through March 25, they're releasing exclusive and commemorative content from Biggie's closest friends, collaborators and his biggest fans. The first interview comes from an artist who is more his family than close friend--Lil' Kim.

She recalls stories from the road, how his songs reached all types of music fans and what it was like to grow and learn from the Brooklyn Don.

"I watched him and I learned from him. I mean, coming up from the best, you can only imagine how that feels," she says. "I feel blessed to say that I'm Biggie's family."

When asked the question pondered by hip-hop fans for years, who Biggie would work with if he was still alive today, she mentions Kanye West and Mobb Deep. Watch her explain why in the "RapFix Live" interview below. Below that, check out Biggie freestyling and join the conversation by tweeting @MTVRapFix using the hashtag #biggie15.

If one thing has defined the Republican Party's presidential primary, it's the electorate's short-lived love affairs with any candidate not named Mitt Romney. If it's been defined by two things, it's the memorable and outrageous things the Republican candidates say. From Mitt Romney's insistence that he's unemployed (the man is worth millions) to Rick Perry's claim that Juarez, Mexico is the most dangerous city in America, an outbreak of foot-in-mouth disease has swept across the GOP candidates. Sometimes those quotes are so outlandish, they could be pulled from a rap song. That's why we made this quiz, which poses the never-before-asked question: Who said it: Republican or rapper?

1. "I stand for what I believe in--family, God and honor."

2. "Whose pockets? Whose pockets? People's pockets."

3. "I'll die on that hill"

4. "I'll die before I lose, cause I was born to win."

5. "I want black people to be free"

6. "I want to shift the entire planet. And I'm doing it. I am now a famous person. I represent real power."

7. "Your child's future was the first to go with budget cuts."

8. "You wanna get rid of drug crime in this country? Fine, let's just get rid of all the drug laws."

9. "Men are basically little piglets. You drop them in the ditch, they roll around in it."

10. "Everybody wants a shot in this land of opportunity."

11. "You can say I’m a hater. But I would argue I’m a lover."

12. "When you closed your eyes I put my balls on your cheek."

13. "I purchased a gun when I was a young man."

14. "Come on, relax guy, I like gay men."

15. "Who let the dogs out"

Cameron Quiseng, Michael Martinez and Zach Porter of Allstar Weekend were nice enough to sit down with MTV Clutch and talk basketball before the 2012 NBA All-Star weekend. It turns out these pop rockers don't know much about hoops outside of what it's like to shake Shaq's hand and that LeBron James is "probably on an All-Star team." However, we did learn that Porter's father was a true baller in his younger days. Zach even shows us an amazing photo to prove it.

Earlier we brought you our animated editor's Q & A with star Norwegian handballer Mia Hundvin. Well, when he was in Oslo for the World Snowboarding Championships, Ryan also spoke with Cherie Lily, musician, former competitive snowboarder, trainer and wife of the hard-rocking, hard-partying Andrew W.K. Since W.K. is the WSC's official Rock & Roll Ambassador, Lily must be its First Lady of Rock.

Cherie sat down with Ryan to explain why her parents disapproved of her budding snowboarding career and how she's going to save the exercising masses from cheesy workout music.

We knew the peace Meek Mill brought to the roundtable yesterday wouldn't last. Today the "Hottest MCs In The Game" list told MTV News' Hip-Hop Brain Trust that Jay-Z is the sixth hottest MC in the game. Last year he became the rapper with the most Top 10 Billboard Hits, his "Watch The Throne" tour with Kanye West grossed more than $48 million and he is number one on Forbes' Hip-Hop's Top 20 Earners list. The argument isn't whether Jay-Z deserves to be on the list, the answer to that is obvious--it's whether or not he deserves a much higher ranking. While some of the experts felt he rode shotgun to Kanye in 2011 and his solo albums are much better than Watch The Throne, others felt his phenomenal year should bump him up on the list. Either way, for now, Jay-Z stands as the sixth hottest MC in the game.

To find out the Top 5, tune into MTV2 Sunday, Feb. 19, at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT. For now, watch the most controversial debate of them all below and join in the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #HottestMC.

As the Hip-Hop Brain Trust moves closer to deciding who will be crowned number one in "Hottest MCs In The Game," it's clear that in hip-hop you don't need an album to make a strong impact. Since teaming up with Maybach Music Group, Meek Mill won Best Artist Without An Album at the Sucker Free Awards and "blazed the streets" with his singles "Ima Boss" and "Tupac Back." The experts are impressed with Meek's real street music and that can hold his own whether Rick Ross, CEO of MMG, is around or not. Meek Mill is just starting to build his dynasty and there's no argument here that he's the seventh hottest MC in the game.

Watch Meek bring our roundtable together below, and on MTV2 Sunday, Feb. 19, at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, and join in the debate on Twitter using the hashtag #HottestMC.

With Wale at 10 and Big Sean at number nine on the "Hottest MCs In The Game" list, MTV News' chosen Hip-Hop Brain Trust disputes over who deserves the eighth spot. The team is impressed by Wiz Khalifa's platinum singles "Roll Up" and "No Sleep," his sold-out shows on the Rolling Papers world tour and his rank at number 11 on Forbes' Hip-Hop Top 20 Earners List. His accomplishments earn him the right to break onto the list, but it's ultimately not enough to earn him the title of eighth hottest MC in the game. A few experts felt his album didn't live up to the hype and after a majority vote, they bump Big Sean to number eight, landing Wiz at number nine.

It looks like no spot is safe. Watch the heated debate below, and on MTV2 Sunday, Feb. 19, at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, and join in the discussion on Twitter using the hashtag #HottestMC.

Clutch Vault is taking a detour from the norm into the land of fallen legends. There's not a whole lot to say about Whitney Houston's talent and impact that hasn't been said by our peers, but there's still plenty to see: Whitney's colorful, '80s video for "How Will I Know," which peaked on Billboard's top 100 on this day in 1986. Does she wear a headband? You're damn right. According to our newsroom, the video "became one of the first videos by a black female singer to go into heavy rotation on MTV, blasting open the doors for a whole generation of R&B and pop divas to follow."

By the way, if you're feeling patriotic and/or want more of Whitney's best, watch her breathtaking "Star-Spangled Banner" performance from Super Bowl XXV.
