*The Original Biggy Smallz
Tim Bigelow aka Biggy Smallz (born in 1979) was an underground White/Latino rapper from Los Angeles, California who started recording music in 1991 when he was only 12 years old. He is the main reason The Notorious B.I.G. was unable to use his nickname (Biggie Smalls) as his official stage name. The Notorious B.I.G. eventually got sued. By the time The Notorious B.I.G's album Ready To Die dropped in September 1994, the original Biggy Smallz was just 16 years old and the album "Ready To Die" inadvertently helped boost the sales of the original Biggy Smallz' records due to confusion in the listening market. People accidentally bought Biggy Smallz' records thinking they were buying The Notorious B.I.G's. There is also a rumor that he's been dead since 1994 outside of a liquor store in a drive-by shooting but in 1995 he mysteriously went under by another alias named "Shadowcast" and released two songs called "Day By Day" and "The Abyss". The White/Chicano rapper had a mysterious rap career and a interesting character but other sources are saying that this man is still alive and well and lives in the Los Angeles area. Lesser known fact, this Biggy Smallz was a good friends with 2Pac and producer Johnny "J" in which he produced this particular song. Enjoy!!!
YOOO I'M PISSED COMING HERE EXPECTING TO LAUGH AT A WACK TRACK N THIS SHIT RIDING LIKE A MUFFUKA💯💪💪 THE ORIGINAL BIGGIE🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂same here I thought I was going to rag on him but he smooth😎
Word

Insane this sounds so sick. Song risen from the dead. He wouldn’t of expected in 2022 that people would listen to this again and show others.
What a trip
I hope your young like 20 smthng? It would bring a smile to my face to know that the kids are recognizing this👍
@@aboutnoise2335 we doing
I knew this Song Long ago! And heard it way before the YT Short ! It’s a Classic !
@@aboutnoise2335yep!
Damn. He even has that Bay Area G Funk sound. The 90s just had a sound that won’t be matched ever again.
Check me out🗣
Johny j producer
This sound like Sacramento back in the 90’s
He has that West Coast Flow..
Reminds me of K-Dee.
He was actually pretty good. This was the guy who threatened to sue Notorious B.I.G. for using his name
Shit hittin. This dude was underrated. This shit gonna be in my rolling around Texas night playlist. I like the “roughness” of the sound. Those old 1 take recordings, no punchin in like rappers do now. That shit is something to be noted. Thanks OP for posting this jewel. White dude was cold, RIP to him.
Mind sharing your playlist?
Tbh he's not dead. He works in it
@@MrZyphR what’s “it” ? I’m so confused a lot of people been saying this, and I don’t know wtf it is 😭😂
He’s not dead. He was still doing music in the mid 90s calling him self shadowcast
Hell yeah brother keep cruisin 😎
Everybody is here because of RUclips shorts right? This guy surprised me he had a smooth flow and delivery.
🔥🌊🐬💦💧 FIREWATER
Yeah, I’m shocked right now. Lol
Yes
I was not expecting this lol
That short wasn’t even correct, he said he’s dead and he isn’t
Time to play this everytime someone asks for Biggie Smallz
Jam for pool party for sure
😆
😂hell yeah I’m use it next time I ride with my homeboy who is a huge biggie fan
The first Biggy Smallz❤
First biggie smalls is from the 1970s movie “let’s do it again “
Passenger: Can you put on some biggie smallz?
Uber driver: I got you.
Passenger:
Maaan!!! That was jamming!!! I can’t believe I never heard of the original Biggie Smalls from the 90’s! that was my era…dang!
Right? I'm from LBC and never heard him!
@@ramonchavez2330 whaaaat, u from da LBC & never heard of em either?? lol, I guess they down played em cuz he was a white rapper, maybe?? It definitely took me back to that era in time, so I like it!!! Take care bro!! Hey, did you know snoop or heard about em in the streets before he blew up??
Always got love and respect for the old skool 💯
And this is actually DOPE there will never be another era like the 90'z !!
I hope its soon.
TRuE man
Man this song would have been the most played on the BoX back in the Day.Remember the *BOX*?? You could call in and vote what song you wanted to play and the BOX would play it! GOD BLESS THE DEAD...RIP TIM BIGELOW AKA BIGGY SMALLZ
Better than I expected
Hip hop is a culture not a color, this is Hot and he most def gives me them Old Skool WestCoast classic RIP BIggs ❤️💯
He isn't dead
@@WarningMannn he was shot down in front of a liquor store.
@@ChildofYah83 No he is not there's a couple thing the Internet gets wrong. First Tim Bigelow aka Biggie Smallz didn't die in 1994. The person that dies outside the liquor store was a Graffiti artist named Big Durk who was the brother of Tupacs best friend Stretch. He also went by Biggie Smalls, and thats who Tupac shouts out on God Bless The Dead. Tim Bigelow went on to being known as Shadow/Shadowcast in the mid 90s. He ended up retiring from Rapping and working in IT. Here is a link to another one of his songs ruclips.net/video/Am3qo1HwcbQ/видео.html
@@WarningMannn if that's true I'm happy af it was sad to hear he got killed....I think his songs are dope he was smart to dip from the music industry tho
@@aboutnoise2335 I spent days researching this man and that seems to be the true story. There isn't a whole lot on the man out there, but if you dig long enough you're bound to find something!
Man i miss the 90s
Baggy pants and beanies.. ✌🏼
@@lunch2102 you could fit at least 3 people in my jeans back in the day
For sure
I remember this song being played on the wake up show. I recorded it cuz it was NICE!!! Always wondered why biggie sounded different when juicy dropped lol
Way better than expected
this song hits different with current gas prices
😂👏🏽
😂😂😂😂😂hahahahha
Good one! ❤
I’m only here cause my uncle told me biggie isn’t the original biggie then I found this gem
Interesting. Definitely hear Nate Dog and that 90s West Coast style. His other song hits like a Lighter Shade of Brown 90s vibe.
That’s what I just commented on that song cruisin, this is my first time hearing this kid but I said he had a Hi-C/ Lighter Shade of Brown vibe
Thanks to my babe he knows how much I love Tupac and he said he use to be a back up dancer to biggie .I was like no and he showed me a video and then we both were instantly shocked and amazed with this song he was good .why did we never hear him ?He would of blown up and being Tupac friend this would of been the first Dre and Eminem!!!
That’s A Fact
Who sings the hook on this she can blow
That's nostalgic 90's sound
Tim Bigelow Biggy Smallz and notorious big
Biggy Smallz (born in 1979-1994) (1972-1997)
This is my first time hearing this great song.
Johnny J did is magical engineering production on this like every other beat he produced
You mean to Johny J 2 pac producer?
This dudes flow is smooth as hell!
100% ghost writer, must be.
This white kid from the early 90s has a better flow then any of these new rappers out right now in my opinion
Damn straight
Right. I just heard about him. I was not expecting this. 🔥
For real!!
He was linked with death row records
Cap
Damn sounds like N.W.A. and Bone Thugs & Harmony style. Guess this is what the LA rap scene was all about. Won't it be something if they took his style and made it their own.
Sounds closer to Domino a rapper / Singer out of Long Beach.
He was killed at liquor store in 94, Tupac dedicated song to him "God bless the dead" , they were friends, kid was the original Biggie Smalls
To me this reminds me of Warren G's music.
@@JenReyes001 Or did he influenced Warren G, his cadence and flow is very easy and rhythmically sound, very easy rap flow no forced style and verses.
@@robertelie1434 could be he did influence him. Still the styles are very similar.
You can here the g funk and snoop dogg influence in his flow and cadence 🔥🔥
This was before snoop
@@NiktheEnglishGreekCypriot what you talking bout? snoop been making music since atleast 1991, and his first album doggystyle came out in 1993. Clearly says in the title this song came out in ‘94
And Biggy Smallz since 1991 to...
This was the same Era for both...
not before snoop lol
Don‘t Sounds like snoop anyway. Would compare him to Warren G.
This is Nate Dogg, 2pac, and Snoop wrapped up in 1 kid!! Love this shit!
Not Nate. I say Domino or Montell J influenced.
Bone thugs..
@@Teegatas85 definitely a montell and domino mix, you explained it perfect
Bro this shit sound banging
Nobody rides for freeeee 🎉
This is jamming. The hook on point
I bought this 12" when it came out but I didn't know this dude was white. Great song.
LONG LIVE BIGGY SMALLZ
The sample was enough for me🙌🔥
I’m glad I heard about this it SLAPS
Wow…. This is so fucking fire for no reason
I was on him when he first came out. Classic.
Rip I'm sure he would have been one of the biggest rappers if he lived a little longer 👏
@Aaron9 really how?
I definitely remember this song. I thought this was Nate Dogg. ( I was really young when this came out.).
I'm very surprised. Although hearing the lyrics, i shouldn't have been.
Good song.
I remember this song I was kid... I loved this song.
This is tuffff🔥 crazy how we never knew about this guy. R.I.P
He's still alive
@@Dan.Tebasco How?
@@szymonk8931 the RUclips short was wrong...
@@MrZyphR he is alive?
@@MrZyphR proof?
This is some prime early 90s music for cruising 🔥
What backs up the information on Johnny J producing this beat, is that this same instrumental for this song is also used on an unreleased freestyle with Pac & Snoop called "If There's a Cure (I Don't Want It)". And it can be heard on youtube. 😎
Also sampled from Diana Ross: Love Hangover
Yessssss dude !!!
Oh wow always thought this was B.I.G's song all up on my answering machine back in the day
RIP I'm fuckn wit dis, I laughed at the first 2😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
R.I.P TOM BIGELOW!
AKA BIGGY SMALLZ!
THE CHICK SOUNDS LYKE MARY J BLIGE
🔥🌊🐬💦💧
FIREWATER!
He's not dead
He released music under the name Shadowcast in the very late '90s. Homie isn't dead and has created a legacy with this song, the "supposed" Tupac link (which I don't think is true. It was for someone else), and the false death claims 😂
Bro got that west coast g funk style fr
Y’all should look up Notorious B1: Big Daddy… He’s a rapper from Mississippi that got his style & flow & name stole from B.I.G. as well
He smooth. Pleasantly surprised ❤
Primms Hood Cinema brought me here
The real Biggy Smallz 😤
This guy was a badass
Hear that "Let me ride"?? Came out in 92
Need more music like this
no.....no we don't
@@PlasticPelletsyes we do
Who else instantly started singing : if there's a cure for this, I don't want it, I don't need it!
Dam this guy was my age born 1979 just like me but he had it
Beat is hard, def johnny j’s beat. Damn he could hook up a kick back, mellow and hard beat all at the same time. Pac would of murdered this beat!! The rapper on this, his flows not to bad....
Pac did murder this, it’s called if there’s a cure remix ft snoop dogg
Yup bangin freestyle
Wasnt pac cool with Bigelow? I think they were friends
@@lazygamer9725 yes he was..
@@lazygamer9725 yeah i just saw a video, he was the original Biggie Smalls, Pac shouts him out in a song RIP Biggie
I remember my mom bringing this single home thinking it was B.I.G. I was not totally disappointed. But I just now found out it was a white guy.
Isn't the world of music amazing when it comes to expectations of what color of the artist's skin is. I bet if people knew if most artists they heard were white before they actually checked and enjoyed the music wouldn't have even given it a chance. And it's sad. Music is universal when it comes to humans.
@@Seven203ROS I honestly don't care about that If I like the beat and the song I listen to it I don't care who or what they are, I have listen to a lot of songs from different countries and languages so I could care less what they are if the song is fire.
He was half Mexican

Sampled from Diana Ross Love Hangover 🔥🔥🔥🔥
JOHNNY J - The Producer !! ( see: video) - all eyes on me Johnny J 🎶
sadly in 94. tim bigelow was tragically murdered. while standing outside of a liquor store. shaken by the murder of his friend.
This slap!! He probably had little exposure not alot of people heard of this dude
Yeah probably because he was so young and she actually knew Tupac crazy. He had potential. I didn’t expect it to be decent but it’s wasn’t bad. I heard another song of his year ago or 2 and considering his age when started etc yeah he could of got way better
Holy hell this kid was nice and yet I am clueless that he was the first Biggy Smallz.
Kinda sounds like Warren G, if Warren G was a white insurance salesman from Topeka Kansas.
Johnny J 🙏
someone has to put this on spotify
“If she ain’t a gangsta bitsh, I don’t need her, you can keep her” uuhhhhhhh
A tiny hint of Nate Dogg at .35
I also get that nate dogg vibe listening to this song
This should b on the radio.. on fire..
The sickest thing I’ve heard in years
I saw this guy perform at Raging Waters I was like 15
Foreal? Who were his handlers? Were they in the industry?
Produced by Johnny j !
I get Snoop, Warren and Nate Dogg Vibes from this
Dope song!
Mad lovely bum pa. . .✊🔥🎤🙏
Biggy "died" and was reborn as Shadowcast.
I though this was going to be trash.... But it's not. Netflix send me here.
Why is there a shoe about the real biggie smalls 😂
What Netflix show/movie?
Damn I heard this way back in the day, Crazy
Besides the odd name choice, the guy is not half bad, not everyone gets the gift of gab and this dude definitely has it, besides the song itself kinda slaps, west coast vibes🔥
Based off his real name
I needed this 20 years ago lol
Awesome my guy. Smooth song
He got plenty of love and air play in SoCal. Gone too soon.
If theirs a cure for this
He got a Warren g flow
Please do not delete this.
I won't
Didn't he make a song using player- baby come back. If I recall correctly
Imagine being a 2pac and biggie fan since your teens, later to find out the guy with the original name biggie smallz is a smooth Caucasian dude with rhymes. Damn man what a mind TRIP. 🎉😅
Wow unbelievable Biggie smallz
Nah son he really had a banger fr
This dudes a legend 👏 reminds me of woodie he sounds like a real 1
I remember this playing on Rap City around the same Juicy came out.
Rest In Peace homie
What's name of the show on Netflix that's talks about Jhonny j
This was da style in early 90s in da west coast Warren g had a similar flow
Dam this track is dope AF
