Music Biggie Smalls, 5/21/72—3/9/97

Posted by Chas Bowie on Fri, Mar 9 at 9:52 AM

It’s been 10 years to the day, and they haven’t arrested one mofo in the Biggie Smalls murder. In the big man’s honor, here are two choice B.I.G. clips: one of him freestyling at age 17 (and killing it), and the unfuckwithable “Big Poppa”. Hearing Biggie in his prime is like watching those old Sports Illustrated video tributes to Michael Jordan—sheer gravity-defying virtuosity.

Damn.

That freestyle vid was the shit. Biggie's impromptu interaction with the DJ to make a "hook" was crazy. Much like MJ's ability to bring the best out in his teammates (Scottie Pippen, etc)...

(The Sung Hi Lee pics at the beginning of Big Poppa are a nice touch....)
