The Vault: Notorious B.I.G. Lost Tapes

Ok, 3 Vault posts in one week is kinda crazy. If I keep going at this rate it’s gonna be a very short-lived segment, so I’m offcially going to take a breather from it for a while after this one. I agree with Meka - celebrating anniversaries of people’s deaths seems inappropriate and downright insensitive to those who’ve lost somebody close to them. I’m not sure why this is the norm, however I do feel that it’s my duty to participate since everyone seems to treat this day as one of remembrance. That being said, I’m going to do things a little differently and serve up some of the unreleased material that sparked Biggie’s awesome but tragically short career. Down below is the mixtape classic, “Real Niggaz Do Real Things.” After the jump, I’ve got a couple demos Big did with DJ 50 Grand, as well as his Wake Up Show Freestyle, aired shortly before his passing. As always, he will continue to be missed!
