I dream of Biggie
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
A mural for legendary late rapper Notorious B.I.G. just went up in Maspeth. Actually an ad for Amazon commemorating his 50th birthday just went up which depicts Biggie as a spirit emitting from a bunch of flowers. Or maybe that's insecticide. Curious why he would be depicted this way.

@"Because murderous gun toting rap "Artistes" don't sell well to the masses..."
Was he a murderer? I didn't know that?
And what do you have against "gun toting" people? Are you one of those anti gun communists?
If he had an AR-15, he might still be alive today.
Just great, Honor a violent scumbag career criminal with a record going back to early teens.
2- Since when is this shit from the sewer basins of Los Angeles "art"
" Was he a murderer? I didn't know that?"
Excerpt from his bio on wikipedia: A real model citizen
On March 23, 1996, Wallace was arrested outside a Manhattan nightclub for chasing and threatening to kill two fans seeking autographs, smashing the windows of their taxicab, and punching one of them. He pleaded guilty to second-degree harassment and was sentenced to 100 hours of community service. In mid-1996, he was arrested at his home in Teaneck, New Jersey, for drug and weapons possession charges.
During the recording for his second album, Wallace was confronted by Shakur for the first time since "the rumors started" at the Soul Train Awards and a gun was pulled.
In June 1996, Shakur released "Hit 'Em Up", a diss track in which he claimed to have had sex with Faith Evans, who was estranged from Wallace at the time, and that Wallace had copied his style and image. Wallace referenced the first claim on Jay-Z's "Brooklyn's Finest", in which he raps: "If Faye have twins, she'd probably have two 'Pacs. Get it? 2Pac's?" However, he did not directly respond to the track, stating in a 1997 radio interview that it was "not [his] style" to respond.
On September 7, 1996, Shakur was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas and died six days later. Rumors of Wallace's involvement with Shakur's murder spread. In a 2002 Los Angeles Times series titled "Who Killed Tupac Shakur?", based on police reports and multiple sources, Chuck Philips reported that the shooting was carried out by a Compton gang, the Southside Crips, to avenge a beating by Shakur hours earlier, and that Wallace had paid for the gun.

When this is the best you can come up with to celebrate, it might be time to do some soul-searching.
The media assault continues.

Are we becoming a pitiful country ?...so backwards in many ways
The Trolls are driven by FAKE NEWS and are Ok with high gas prices out of contol inflation and crime.
Glorifying thuggery/scum, and they wonder what's wrong with this country. Sickening. Maspeth's down the drain now too.
Some of these comments are truly embarrassing. We can idolize crooked political figures with statues because they did a few good things, so I think a mural won't hurt anyone. Good lord. By the way, Biggie may have been a criminal in his early days, but he pulled himself out of it and made something of his shortlived life. We can applaud it and the rap music he created.
A violent government (that oppresses its people by erasing their Constitutional rights, lawful freedoms and silences their voice) as it legitimizes what passes for healthcare as a for profit business that reinforces fiscal hemorrhaging for the masses, is an experiment in violence, anarchy and societal collapse.
Even the fictitious android, 'Delores Abernathy' of WESTWORLD knew the outcome of human frailty and willful pandemonium when she exhorted:
❝These violent delights have violent ends.❞
ALAS, the world is imperfect at best——and selfish and irresponsible at its worst. In the end, the open fire, murderous thugs, political criminals (on both sides of the two-party-machine-faile duopoly CULT disease) and the totally enabling, LAMESTREAM media propaganda-lying outlets take over to finish off the remnants of a shabby society: America is on life support (for decades), soon to cross over to outright DOA!
I like the I Dream of Jeannie reference. Yes mural art are an indication that the rents will go up.

Mayor Swagger was a major factor in making NYS/NYC a more friendly place for criminals by ushering in the new bail reform and raising the age limit of criminals. Didn't he claimed everything was racist ? Now these changes are hurting innocent children and people the most in poor Black and Latino neighborhoods. Way to go Swagger, who are you going to call racist now for the increase in people hurt & killed in minority neighborhoods? I know Swagger! let's blame gun manufacturers that's the ticket, always somebody else's fault.
@"The Trolls are driven by FAKE NEWS and are Ok with high gas prices out of contol inflation and crime."
Where do you get your news he/she/it/ troll? Tucker Putin? Lumpy Hannity? Q-Anon times?
Youtube?
Look at your own news source before you start accusing others.
@"Excerpt from his bio on wikipedia: A real model citizen"
I'm sure he wasn't a model citizen, but he was never convicted of murder unless you can show some useful source.
Protecting and celebrating the lives of violent rappers, thugs, and criminals seem to be the norm nowadays.
And it does not look that will change anytime soon.
@"The media assault continues."
What media assault? Did you even read the article? You are a true troll!!
@"I’m so MAGA I dream of DeSantis"
Sad but true. Right-wingers always need a hero figure. The "strong leader" type. Why? Because right-wingers can't think for themselves and need to be told what to do.
;;,can applaud it and the rap music he created;;;
1--Blabbing words with a drum machine beat or pattern pieced together by some half bit engineer on a computer is nor creating or music
2--The term "Rap Music" is an oxymoron
3--This big fat "thing" was a piece of shit with a press agent.
