A lot has changed since 1997, but one thing has remained the same, on March 9, you can expect to see hip hop heads worldwide pay tribute the one of the greatest MCs of all time. Here’s a list of some of the best salutes I’ve seen today:
Prefix mag is kicking off a new section today called “Sights & Sounds” and their featuring an interpretation of “Juicy” by an artist named Pellet. This is a really incredible piece of artwork that show’s biggie with a mic outside of bodega in Brooklyn. Definitely worth a look.
J.Period and Ralph McDaniels are paying tribute to Biggie with the March 9th Video Remix Collection, which will feature Notorious BIG remixes over classic videos. The first video in the series is remix of “Flava in Ya Ear.”
XXL sits down with DJ Clark Kent, the producer of “Brooklyn’s Finest” to talk about the making of that track as well as the life and times of Biggie Smalls.
