Picturing puffy picking big from a few fat kids from NY like a police line up

They got a few things wrong.

The name Big Poppa came from a verse he did in 1992. The first verse he got famous for.

@3:18

Two, the play into becoming a fly fat dude came from Chubb Rock and Heavy D. That's that Mount Vernon s***.

New York still the foundation. And he's been calling himself B.I.G since 1990.

He’s doing it right now

Pete Rock still fuming over that Juicy situation. He got f***ed over. They heard it in his studio, and went to record it their way, not from this guy.

Biggie slander will not be tolerated

Good find, OP. I never knew about this.

2Pac's accusations about Puffy and Biggie are becoming more true by the day.

this is a brand new revelation to me the rabbit hole of biggie influences gets deeper if this would’ve got out in the 90s I’m pretty sure it would’ve been career ruining.

take a man’s name and sample smfh he’s lucky the south wasn’t respected like it is today in the 90s.

also King T said biggie told him that he was his favorite rapper and influenced his flow and I can hear it.

also Smoothe Da Hustler

put the empire state building in Louisiana at this point

Loll

Loll

I'm shook wtf

you know why he stopped calling himself biggie smalls? because biggy smallz was already around

“Biggy Smallz (born in 1979) was an underground White/Latino rapper from the west coast who started recording music in 1991 when he was around 12 years old. He is the main reason The Notorious B.I.G. was unable to use his nickname (Biggie Smalls) as his official stage name. By the time The Notorious B.I.G's album Ready To Die dropped in September 1994, the original Biggy Smallz was just 16 years old. Ready To Die inadvertently helped boost the sales of the original Biggy Smallz' records due to confusion in the listening market. In other words, people accidentally bought Biggy Smallz' records thinking they were buying The Notorious B.I.G's. “

biggie fan in 90’s in nyc record store : oh yo a new single i’m copping it. bk all day son! lemme get dollars that’s all i need 😎

😎

Didn't a rapper from the Bay Area sample the songs to Juicy and Big Poppa before Biggie too?

I remember Biggie saying that he wanted RTD to be a hardcore boombap street album like Illmatic or 36 Chambers but Puffy chose certain beats for him to help him cross over.

Ight yall going alittle too hard on the slander

This why Pac was gonna start Death Row Mississippi

Niggas act like most rapper didn’t use the same sample at least once back then
