Learn about the life and legacy of Notorious B.I.G. on a walk in Brooklyn. Visit places that shaped him as a kid, see art and spots that honor him, and find lyrical references in his old neighborhood.

 

EXPERIENCE:

We start at Biggie’s High School, which he attended with some people that you have heard of and where he “was a terror since the public school era.” Then we move on to some famous Brooklyn locations where he spent time. We’ll see plenty of art around the neighborhood that honors Biggie, including at the store where he once bagged groceries. We’ll visit his “crib (same number, same hood, it’s all good),” where he grew up, and the location of his first concert nearby. We will debate what kind of “Welch’s Grape” he ate with his “T-bone steak, cheese, (and) eggs” at a late-night food spot he frequented and see a basketball court that is named for him in a park that honors an important, historical Black American. You’ll be taking lots of pictures, and obviously, we will trade Biggie lyrics throughout the day.
