Brandon,
He was not 7" taller than Tupac lol. Tupac was 5'8 to 5'9, Biggie is proven at 6'1". Get with the program.

@ MaskDeMasuq,
No, He was 6'2" in a mug shot, he usually wore thick boots. Just b /c you think he looked taller than 6'1 makes no sense.
The Man was shown to be 6'2" in Shoes. If you know anything about BIG, you know he wore Boots alot.
He was 6'1" Barefoot, still tall.

Looks too tall to be a 6'1 guy. 6'1.75 is lowest I could buy but the full 6'2 seems far more likely from pictures and videos I've seen of Biggie.

@Spencer and Viper: watch the video of when he was on Martin and see him next to Tommy Ford. There are some variables because I didn’t pay attention to footwear and we don’t know if Ford was a true 6’4” peak. He looked very tall but on a different episode where the lady WNBA players were on Tommy didn’t look as tall as Rebecca Lobo

Yea he has boots on here and is tilting his head. With Tommy Ford it looked maybe 1” at times or 1.5” but maybe footwear was different. And with Tommy no guarantee he was the full 6’4”

@Viper: I actually believe he was taller. He looked at least 6’2”. Watch Martin when he was on with Tommy. Not sure if Tommy was really 6’4” because Rebecca Lobo seemed taller though so maybe he was less. But remember a bigger guy like him won’t have the best posture

Autopsy reports usually aren't accurate, because dead bodies are taller due to decompression of the discs. I think Paul Walker listed 6'3" on his autopsy report if I'm not mistaken.

It's possible he was 6'2", given that he was pushing 400 pounds by the time he died, his weight could've definitely made him appear shorter

I arrived on this page ready to write something funny only to discover the poor guy's no longer with us. It seems somehow inappropriate now.
I'll put 6ft2.5 for Christopher after studying the other comments.
RIP Chris. How sad.

I think 6'2" sounds good for now but looked 2" shorter than Method Man and 4" taller than 2pac so I wouldn't rule out 6'1".

Biggie's footwear of choice were Timberland boots so it wouldn't be surprising how he could give off the impression of being a strong 6'3".
