Just last year there was a petition to rename the block he grew up on to “Christopher Wallace Way”.
The petition was ultimately denied by the Brooklyn CommunityBoard but, that won’t stop those that adore him from keeping his memory and legacy alive.
Grammy award winning producer Easy Mo Bee was one of the lucky ones that not only got to know Biggie but, also worked with him on the now legendary album “Ready To Die”.
In this video clip of “The What TV Show” starting at the 5:19 mark Easy talks about meeting Biggie and shares a pretty funny story on the making of the song “Party and Bullshit”.
This entire episode of “The What TV Show” which was our debut show on March 9th of last year was dedicated to Biggie and even features our top 5 favorite videos from the legendary rapper.
Rest In Peace to the Notorious B.I.G.
P.S…i just wanted to add, because it’s funny looking at the video clip now. That day I had dental surgery and my whole face was completely numb to me while I did that interview.
