We’ll Always Love Big Poppa ~ R.I.P.

"When I die, fuck it I wanna go to hell
Cause I'm a piece of shit, it ain't hard to fuckin' tell
It don't make sense, goin' to heaven wit the goody-goodies
Dressed in white, I like black Tims and black hoodies." ~ Biggie

Today marks fifteen years since Christopher Wallace (AKA The Notorious B.I.G. AKA Frank White AKA Big Poppa AKA Biggie Smalls) was tragically shot and killed in front of the Petersen Museum at Wilshire and Fairfax. Go lay down your E&J, White Owls, and flowers today for Brooklyn's dearly departed legend.
