Biggie Smalls Tour | Then & Now | Meeting his son CJ Wallace during filming production
Ойын-сауық
This video shows Biggie's: Hangouts, Juicy Video Filming Locations, Mural Rap Battle Location and Childhood Home (where I happened to meet his son Christopher Wallace Jr...who was in town for a production of his own). All filming was done in the Bedford Stuyvesant and Clinton Hill neighborhoods in Brooklyn, NYC.
This year marks the 25th Anniversary of Ready to Die. Biggie’s debut album that would eventually go platinum, four times over.... He got his first break in 1993 when featured on the Real Love (Remix) w Mary J Blige and then again in 1994 on the Flava in your Ear (Remix) with Craig Mac and Company - Two great tracks. Juicy was his first major success as a solo artist and put him on the map but it was Big Poppa that made him a Star.

Thank you for showing 🙏🏽🥇
Biggie would probably be surprised that the neighborhood he struggled so hard to make a living in has now become a gentrified, upscale place... cool angles of historic locations!!!
Brooklyn show alot love ☝🏽😔

Orient was originally from The Grand Orient de France (GODF) is the largest of several Masonic organizations in France and is the oldest in Continental Europe (as it was formed out of an older Grand Lodge of France in 1773, and briefly absorbed the rump of the older body in 1799, allowing it to date its foundation to 1728 or 1733). It is generally considered to be the mother lodge of traditional Liberal, or Continental Freemasonry. Inverted Pantagram is from Order of Eastern Star.

Jesus Christ our Lord and our Savior, is The WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE! Confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus Christ is Lord of your life. Believe in His death, burial and resurrection for the sins of all human-kind and you will be saved. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, may Father God, our Creator bless you in the Glorious name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. ❤️
You rarely see any Black folks own those brownstones. That area was a predominantly Black area in the 90s. It's crazy how they sold off their properties. Now Brooklyn is expensive than a bitch.
