TMZ –

Christopher Wallace sustained gunshot wounds to his chest, shoulder, leg, forearm and scrotum on the night he was murdered in L.A. back in 1997 … this according to the never-before-seen autopsy report, just obtained by TMZ. The report confirms Wallace — who was listed at 6’1″, 395 lbs — was struck a total of 4 times in a drive-by shooting on Wilshire Blvd while the 24-year-old rapper sat in the passenger seat of a Chevy Suburban.

According to the report, 3 of the shots were NOT fatal.

– Gunshot #1 struck Wallace in the left forearm and traveled down to his wrist.
— Gunshot #2 struck Wallace in the back, missed all vital organs, and exited through his left shoulder.
— Gunshot #3 struck Wallace on his outer left thigh and exited through his inner left thigh.

The reports says … after Gunshot #3 exited the thigh, “the projectile strikes the left side of the scrotum, causing a very shallow, 3/8 inch linear laceration.” The fatal bullet was Gunshot #4 … which 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. According to the report, the bullet perforated Wallace’s colon, liver, heart and the upper lobe of his left lung. Immediately after the shooting Wallace was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Hospital — where doctors performed an emergency thoracotomy … but it was too late. Wallace was pronounced dead at 1:15 AM.

Biggie was almost 4 bills? DAMN. Lil Kim, Faith Evans, and countless groupies were practically risking their lives having sex with that man.

Very strange that it took this long for the details to emerge. At this point it might have been better to just keep them secret. What gives, Science? Why force all of us to live with the knowledge that Biggie got shot in his left nut “causing a very shallow 3/8 inch linear laceration” or that he was almost 400 pounds? I didn’t wanna know that shit.

Somewhere Tupac laughs after reading this on his iPhone and goes back to sexting Rihanna.
