The King Of New York

Biggie Smalls Will Be Crowned King Of NYC. Over the span of three decades, Biggie has been regarded as one of the best rappers of all time.

Subsequently, many saw him as the King of New York. Of course, there are talks of people like Jay-Z and Diddy as the King. But let’s be honest, there’s only one Notorious B.I.G. And the Big Apple is ready to show out in his honor.

According to Rolling Stone, on May 21st the Empire State Building plans to illuminate a spinning crown, plus red and white lights in the middle of the building. This signifies his status as King of New York.

Meanwhile, in Biggies’ hometown of Brooklyn, the entrance of the Barclays Center will show a video montage of his hit records. Also, the Metro subway will offer a special edition of Notorious B.I.G MetroCards.

Travelers can find them at three of Brooklyns’ subway stations near his Bed-Stuy humble beginnings. Thus, the locations are Lafayette Ave., Clinton-Washington Ave., and Atlantic Ave.- Barclays Center.

Additionally, friends and family of the late Christopher Wallace are set to gather for a ceremony to celebrate the Brooklyn rapper. His children and ‘Lil Kim are among those expected to be in attendance.

It’s All Good Baby Baby

Furthermore, upon arrival at the MTA subway stations, fans can scan a QR code for a special Instagram filter.

The filter allows users to celebrate his life and legacy.

As you may know, the rapper was slain in 1997 after the Soul Train Awards. Sadly, it’s been 25 years and the murder still hasn’t been solved.

Of course, the East Coast-West Coast beef drew up many accusations as to what happened. Also, what the motive would be.

However, the mystery of who pulled up and opened fire into Biggies’ vehicle still bemuses us. Was it a setup?

His second album Life After Death released a few weeks later. Unsurprisingly, it flew up the charts debuting at number 1.

Well, Notorious B.I.G continues to inspire generations. And he’ll always be our Hip-Hop King.

Basically, we’ll always love Big Poppa.
