B.I.G Rest In Peace...



Today is the 12-year anniversary of the untimely death of a rap legend-- The Notorious B.I.G. 12 years ago today, he was snatched from us, and left a void that has never been able to be filled. We must never forget the legacy that he left behind, and the realness that he brought to the table as one of rap's greatest.



Biggie was so dope, he made me wanna be from Brooklyn-- and that's serious... I'm so Harlem it's not even funny! Haha. But now that I actually live in BK-- I can look around and still see his influences everywhere. There are 12-year-olds in the hood today reciting Biggie's lyrics as if they were there themselves... Some of them weren't even a thought yet! But you know, that just shows how amazing this man is. Pharrell says: N.E.R.D = No one Ever Really Dies, and it's true. Biggie might be gone physically, but he will always be in our minds, our hearts and our music. BROOKLYN, I think you need to stand up right about now.

  1. BIG GLORIFY EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT LISTENED TO HIS MUSIC, NOT ONLY THAT HE INSPIRED YOU. GAVE IT A STORY, LIKE SLICK RICK. EVEN SLICK RICK WAS AMAZED BACK THEN HOW BIGGIE BECAME ONE THE STORYTELLERS IN OUR TIME. I WAS BLESSED DURING A TIME TO BUMP INTO THE WHOLE JUNIOR MAFIA & BIGGIE IN THAT STAMPEDE IN KINGS PLAZA (BK CIRCA 1996). BIG = A BROOKLYN LEGEND AND THERES NO OTHER!
