“Someone stole some of my rap CDs. Oh well, no biggie”

“No biggie” means “no big deal.” Brooklyn-born Christopher George Latore Wallace (1972-1997)—known professionally as The Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls, or Biggie—is, according to his Wikipedia page,  widely considered to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. “When someone says ‘No Biggie’, I reply with ‘not since 97’ and break down crying” was posted on Twitter by Rae Dolan on February 1, 2013.

Wikipedia: The Notorious B.I.G.
Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997), known professionally as The Notorious B.I.G., Biggie Smalls, or Biggie, was an American rapper. He is widely considered to be one of the greatest rappers of all time.
 
Wallace was born and raised in the Brooklyn borough of New York City. His debut album Ready to Die (1994) made him a central figure in East Coast hip hop and increased New York City’s visibility in the genre at a time when West Coast hip hop dominated the mainstream. The following year, he led Junior M.A.F.I.A.—a protégé group composed of his childhood friends—to chart success. In 1996, while recording his second album, Wallace was heavily involved in the growing East Coast–West Coast hip hop feud. On March 9, 1997, he was murdered by an unknown assailant in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles. His second album, Life After Death (1997), released two weeks later, rose to No. 1 on the U.S. album charts. In 2000, it became one of the few hip-hop albums to be certified Diamond.
