Mar 8, 2017 With the 20th anniversary of his death taking place tomorrow (March 9), it’s only right The Notorious B.I.G. get a proper celebration. There are so many different things people can say about Biggie Smalls but the one thing that can’t be denied is that he was a legend. To honor the late rapper, a three-day art show will pay homage to the legacy that Christopher Wallace left behind. Naoufal Alaoui and fellow street artist Scott Zimmerman arranged to have this tribute honoring the late Bad Boy rapper, and they’re also the artists responsible for the huge 38-foot-high mural of Biggie on Bedford Avenue and Quincy Street. That mural has become a staple piece for Brooklyn natives who’ve admired and still continue to praise the deceased MC today. Local art organization Spread Art NYC is set to host the 20 Big Years event and it kicks off this Fri., March 9, the day Biggie died, and will continue until Sun. March 11. The show will be held at the Bishop Gallery at 916 Bedford Ave. and it will feature a ton of local artists which will include Barron Clairborne. Claiborne is the noted photographer who took the famous picture of Biggie wearing the crown in 1997, three days before Biggie’s death. There will also be a screening at the art show called “Bedford and Quincy,” a screening that captures the early days of Biggie Smalls hanging around the neighborhood with locals friends. Although the death of B.I.G. hasn’t been solved, actors have lined up to grab a part in a new TV show that will air on USA called Unsolved that will take viewers through the investigation. This show will cover both Biggie and Tupac’s murder cases. Read More: The Notorious B.I.G.’s Legacy to Be Celebrated With Art Show - XXL |
Mar 8, 2017 Every March 9th I take some Big and some Pac, mix them up in a pot, sprinkle a little Big L on top, and have a bowl of the illest and realest killers...although it ties my stomach in a knot
Mar 8, 2017 Knew the anniversary of his death was this week, but somehow forgot it was 20 years...d---, crazy. Gonna be bumping some Big tomorrow for sure.
Mar 8, 2017 Puffy is gonna pay tribute by rereleasing his albums with even shittier adlibs that everyone hates.
Mar 8, 2017 Puffy's such a b----, if you believe Keefe D's confession about Pac's murder then Puff's basically responsible for both of their deaths. He put the hit out on Pac, and then Suge got revenge by putting the hit on Biggie..both could still be alive if it wasn't for Puff's choice to put the hit out. Not 100% sold on the story though, so who knows.
