Just one correction, God Bless The Dead was released in 1998 after the passing of Notorious BIG, not during when he was alive. The estate most likely chose that song to release on Greatest Hits to help push the album, as this song beat wise wasn't anywhere near the best unreleased tracks at that time that they could have used.
I thought I heard about that back in the 90’s and Suge released a Tupac album after BIG death were there was a track that Tupac said, “Rest In Peace to my nigga Biggie Smallz.”

You’re wrong , the biggie smalls he was referring to was a close friend of his named big drik who also went by biggie smalls, he was a grafiti artist. 2pac has no relation to the white biggie smalls. And his linkedin profile was recently found confirming him to be alive
God Bless The Dead came out on Pacs Greatest Hits. About 2 years after Biggie died. Pac died before Biggie. That's what really added to the legend of Pac still being alive.
@@MrLemmegetit the fuck. The name is from the movie, but the first to take the name in the real world was the kid mentioned. Did y’all watch the video?
The first half of this is true, the later half is wrong. Tim Bigelow didn't die in 1994 nor did Tupac shout him out on this song. He's referring to another Biggie Smalls. This would be the brother of Tupacs best friend Stretch Big Durk aka Biggie Smalls he wasn't a rapper, but a graffiti artist. Tim Bigelow went on to change his name in 1996 to Shadowcast and made a song called The Abyss. He stopped rapping and now works in IT. I just wanted to spread the real story!
WRONG! The film “Let’s Do It Again” was released in the late 70s! Probably before either of these rappers were even born… I enjoy your videos but you got this one wrong…
Facts!!!This is annoying me. Notorious B.I.G got his name from the character in the movie Let's do it again. Stop trying to manipulate what the truth really is. Freakin Culture Vultures...smh
Totally inaccurate! The Biggie smalls 2pac was talking about(in God Bless the dead) was an affiliate of Stretch (Randy Walker) and Majesty from Queens NY. Pac didn't know this Bigalow dude and also Stretch is ft in the song and does the last verse
Bro you literally made this up 1. Let’s do it again came out in 1975 - predating both rappers. How would Tim Bigelow be the original in the 90s?? 2. Tupac’s other friend named Biggie Smalls was a dude from NY, not the Tim Bigelow guy. There are interviews out explaining this. 3. You could’ve paid respect to Tim Bigelow without recreating history
True and actually....Tim Bigelow was born AFTER that movie came out...about 4 or so years after....BIG was already in elementary school....(I was born around the same time as BIG)....PLUS....Because of the lack of technology like we have now...we in NY don't really know about Cali rappers unless they made it big back then....if he was little known in Cali....he was not known in NYC..... Plus,they made music around the same time...This just sounds like a coincidence....
Calvin Lockhart played the character "Biggie Smalls" in 1975 in a movie named "Let's Do it Again" Anybody who thinks this guy is telling the truth needs to do their homework
"Let's Do It Again" (and, therefore, the character Biggie Smalls) came out in 1975. So what does he mean about the movie character not being the "original" Biggie Smalls?
Your info is wrong, 2pac in god bless the dead, is talking about Drik, who was part of thug life and also knew Stretch. Not about the white dude, r.i.p though.
This is the correct version. This white kid might have been Biggie Smalls, but he didn't know Pac and certainly wasn't the Biggie shouted out in God Bless the Dead
1974 “let’s do it again” Calvin Lockhart is the original biggie smalls because he predates Tim Bigelow!!! The movie pre date’s Tim! So where did Tim get the name?! 🤔 this guys facts are not correct !!! Do better research and critical thinking!
So what he really meant to say was he was the first person to legally claim the name biggie smallz. But essentially he’s not the “og” or “the real biggie smallz”

@Easy Money shooter try again! If that was the implication he would not even have mentioned the movie character. That movie came out in the 70s and the actor who played Biggie Smalls became known by that nickname. Tim Bigalow is not the real Biggie Smalls either because that's not the name on his birth certificate. The narrator specifically says that neither Christopher nor the movie character were the real Biggie Smalls. The movie character came first so that's actually the real Biggie Smalls. If Lockhart wasn't the real Biggie Smalls, how was he able to sue Christopher for use of the name, and win, forcing him to change his name to Notorious B.I.G?
The movie character is the really Biggie Smalls lol that movie came out in 1975 when Tim wasn’t even born lol so technically Christopher has more claim to the name over Biggy Smallz
Wow that's an interesting rap history note. All of it is really sad especially since they are all dead now. They all died tragic violent deaths at very young ages.

Lets do it again came out in the 70's.. That's the original Biggie Smalls who the white boy got his name from.
Exactly.
Facts!
He didn’t say he didn’t. He’s just telling you as far as rapping goes. And why BIG couldn’t formally use the name dweeb lol I love how nobody’s always wanna pop up IN THE COMMENTS not with their own video tho swearing they really know the truth 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤡🤡
@@jennyrebecca7243 quick to judge? The man in the video did in fact say that neither Notorious BIG or the other guy was the original, that it was the white kid. But it's actually the dude in the movie so he did give Bs info
@@jennyrebecca7243 but no where in the video did he say as far as rapping goes, I know you may think that's what he means but we can't take it as a valid point because that's not the what he said.
Again, didn't know this. Thank you. Good stuff!
Thought for a second that bro said biggy balls 💀
Oooo that’s why Tupac said “RIP Bbiggie Smalls” 😂
Everyone always thought he was talking about BIG. Even some of his friends thought he was talking about BIG. I think it was a friend of a manager, or friend of a friend.
@@shane-oshaunason7590 Or a friend of the managers friend that was a friend of the managers friend friend that hung out with a friend of his friend that had a different manager that knew the other manager they were all friends
I always wondered why he said that in god bless the dead...big was alive then
I never understood that now it makes sense
@@originaldelta It should’ve been more obvious because Stretch actually says somethinglike “Yo Big, this goes out to you my n***a.. Springfield Hollis Crew” . Nothing to do with Notorious BIG or the younger Biggy Smallz.
People really just made conspiracies and didnt research goofies
It was 1994 what research are people really gonna be doing..especially on a underground rapper

RIP Calvin Lockhart the Original Biggie Smalls...Great Movies ...Lets Do It Again.. & Uptown Saturday Night
Also Coming to America
Ok but I believe that you are mistaken as the movie in the late 70's before eather rapper used any tap name
He said it INSPIRED Biggie to use the name
You’re wrong , the biggie smalls he was referring to was a close friend of his named big drik who also went by biggie smalls, he was a grafiti artist. 2pac has no relation to the white biggie smalls. And his linkedin profile was recently found confirming him to be alive
DRAMA Alert 🚨 Whoop whoop 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
You always have some of the best videos man. Love it. 💯
I did not know this. I genuinely thought you was joking until in the end. Im a huge 90s rap guy and especially pac guy and i didn't know this. Neat.
That Let's do it again movie came out in the 70's and this was in the 90's
Right people are a little slow
When I hear Bighie Smalls I think of the actor Calvin Lockhart in Lets Do it Again
Untrue, there were at least 3 Biggie Smalls, during that time.
I finally got the “Wallace” offensive Pixar movie poster
No wonder fat Biggie never responded to “Hit ‘em up”. He knew 2pac would bring this up in a diss track amongst other things…
This dude got you fooled the movie was from the 60s early 70s how is this kid the original 20 to 30 afterwards wake up
@@scoopmega637 did you watch the vid ? Doesn’t seem like you did. Casual
@@justinjacob9743 yes I did watch and listen to it he said the white boy was the original and not the dude in the movie you watch it again

@@electricturtle3326 you call him by his name to me he's white boy
I can't even wrap my head around this..
peace to both of them...
The kid wasn't born before the gangster character biggie smalls in the movie. Or at least the movie had long been out
Thanks because I was just about to clear that up💯💯💯💯💯
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 exactly
Thank you
yes but the way copyrights go, if you take someone's name for the same thing, rapping for example, then you can get sued.
Thank you !
This is completely wrong my friend- the biggie Tupac dedicated god bless the dead to was a connection of the live squad ( Majesty & Stretch )
plus.... Tim is still alive. I met him at USC in 1999.
People never want the truth to get in front of their clickbait.
God Bless The Dead came out on Pacs Greatest Hits. About 2 years after Biggie died. Pac died before Biggie. That's what really added to the legend of Pac still being alive.
Hearing 'Hypnotise' by The Notorious B.i.g was crazy, especially straight after listening to it on spotify.
Let's do it again came out 20 years before homie made that his name. I believe they have more rights to that name than Tim.🙏
I agree
Exactly that’s where the name was originally from that white teenager wasn’t even born nor thought about when that movie came out
I agree
There it is…….
This is what you call white washing. Lmao
@@MrLemmegetit the fuck. The name is from the movie, but the first to take the name in the real world was the kid mentioned. Did y’all watch the video?
But didn’t the movie come out before the rapper? So, the REAL biggie smalls WOULD of been the character from the movie….
My thoughts exactly.
Word!!!
Tru
Exactly! Next he's gonna say Eminem started gangsta rap.
Your not wrong but the white dude owned the stage name biggie smallz which is why B.I.G didnt go by biggie on his albums
"won't the real biggie smalls please stand up, please stand up, please stand up."
God Bless the Dead is personally my favorite Pac track. Killer, you can feel the grim nature of the track by just the beat
The first half of this is true, the later half is wrong. Tim Bigelow didn't die in 1994 nor did Tupac shout him out on this song. He's referring to another Biggie Smalls. This would be the brother of Tupacs best friend Stretch Big Durk aka Biggie Smalls he wasn't a rapper, but a graffiti artist. Tim Bigelow went on to change his name in 1996 to Shadowcast and made a song called The Abyss. He stopped rapping and now works in IT. I just wanted to spread the real story!
WRONG! The film “Let’s Do It Again” was released in the late 70s! Probably before either of these rappers were even born… I enjoy your videos but you got this one wrong…
Both PAC and Big were born in the early seventies
Facts!!!This is annoying me. Notorious B.I.G got his name from the character in the movie Let's do it again. Stop trying to manipulate what the truth really is. Freakin Culture Vultures...smh
@@Chocobobob soooo.......that would still mean Biggie saw the movie first and got inspiration from the character and not the cali boy.
Bruh!!!!! I was like WTF is he talking about??? Lol

Rip 2pac Biggie and Biggie
Totally inaccurate! The Biggie smalls 2pac was talking about(in God Bless the dead) was an affiliate of Stretch (Randy Walker) and Majesty from Queens NY. Pac didn't know this Bigalow dude and also Stretch is ft in the song and does the last verse
Wait, how you know that?
@@ericbhl6971 He’s right. It was confirmed by the dude who recorded the track and Big Syke (aka Mussolini of the Outlawz) in an interview, years ago.
@@ausgamecollector aight
Thank you
Peace, yea dude is rewriting history.
Bro you literally made this up
1. Let’s do it again came out in 1975 - predating both rappers. How would Tim Bigelow be the original in the 90s??
2. Tupac’s other friend named Biggie Smalls was a dude from NY, not the Tim Bigelow guy. There are interviews out explaining this.
3. You could’ve paid respect to Tim Bigelow without recreating history
True and actually....Tim Bigelow was born AFTER that movie came out...about 4 or so years after....BIG was already in elementary school....(I was born around the same time as BIG)....PLUS....Because of the lack of technology like we have now...we in NY don't really know about Cali rappers unless they made it big back then....if he was little known in Cali....he was not known in NYC.....
Plus,they made music around the same time...This just sounds like a coincidence....
The movie character was the OG Biggie Smalls
🤯🤯 MIND BLOWING 🤯🤯 Never too old to learn. 👍💯🔥🤘
Ya learn something new every day 😎💯
It’s not true
Calvin Lockhart played the character "Biggie Smalls" in 1975 in a movie named "Let's Do it Again" Anybody who thinks this guy is telling the truth needs to do their homework
Fake news 😏
ruclips.net/video/4G6e4TaJxkI/видео.html
0:08!!
Nah this fake asf 🤣
Let's Do it Again came out in the early 70's so the original Biggie Smalls was from the movie. Not a white teenager from California.
"Let's Do It Again" (and, therefore, the character Biggie Smalls) came out in 1975. So what does he mean about the movie character not being the "original" Biggie Smalls?
Lets do it again came out in the 70's bro that's the real Biggie Smalls bro lol
For a name... mammon is powerful as ever
Just subscribed because I’ve realized every time your channel pops up I learn something interesting!
It’s false info tho so your learning false info
Your info is wrong, 2pac in god bless the dead, is talking about Drik, who was part of thug life and also knew Stretch. Not about the white dude, r.i.p though.
Lol man go away 😂😂😂😂🤡
@@jennyrebecca7243 He’s 100% correct.
R. I. P OG biggie 🙏
Thank you for this video !! I remember that song I still bump it today and was always confused why he said that on the song
So, the character biggie smalls from a movie from the early 70’s made before any of them were born isn’t the original?
He meant the white kid was the first rapper to have that name. Obviously they both got the name from the movie.
Tupac homie “stretch” was friends with Dric “biggie smallz”from Springfield hollis crew who was from New York I don’t think this is the same dude
This is the correct version. This white kid might have been Biggie Smalls, but he didn't know Pac and certainly wasn't the Biggie shouted out in God Bless the Dead
nah biggie smalls is biggie smalls B.I.G forever
White bigge 1994
Eazy e 1995
Tupac 1996
The notorious B.I.G 1997
Damn rappers be falling like flies in the 90s
1974 “let’s do it again” Calvin Lockhart is the original biggie smalls because he predates Tim Bigelow!!! The movie pre date’s Tim! So where did Tim get the name?! 🤔 this guys facts are not correct !!! Do better research and critical thinking!
So what he really meant to say was he was the first person to legally claim the name biggie smallz. But essentially he’s not the “og” or “the real biggie smallz”
@@smileymomod.4311 just a. Bunch of foolish lies...
Seems like Diddy found out about this and killed Tim Bigelow so notorious could claim the name.
Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s true
RIP to both Bigges. And Tupac
This properly sounds like an april fools joke
FYI: The pic of the Notorious BIG used in the clip is the actor GRAVY from the movie NOTORIOUS not Christopher Wallace.
We do not care
@@joshuawilliams4380 you should care if you're gonna leave this video acting like you learned something. It worries me that people literally don't care that the people telling them "facts" are entirely wrong or misrepresent frequently.
@@TheSCPStudio at what point did this content creator claim that he was portraying the actual BIG, and not the the actor, in that particular photo? More importantly, how would the inclusion of an incorrect photo in that instance change the truth of the primary piece of information that the creator intended to convey?
That’s good I don’t wanna see a real dead body playa
@@kv.b4735 the movie Notorious BIG liked came out in the 70's.....the lil white kid biggie wasn't even born yet so he wasn't 1st. It's not true.
Biggie also called himself Frank White a character from the movie King Of New York since he and the actor share the same name
He was white as well 🤣
Man still don’t blink in his videos
Dope. Had zero idea. That's why he went by notorious b.i.g.? That's a good piece of music trivia. Thanks.
R.I.P. Tim and biggie smalls❤️🕊
The “original” biggie smalls was a character. Way before the white “rapper”.
Character isn’t a person, so the human individual would be the first. If the character was the first, neither rapper would be able to use the name.
@@vt8414 Biggie smalls started in our community. Period. Culture vultures will argue differently. Who was the bigger artist wit the name anyway? We only acknowledge one ☝🏾 Biggie smalls
@@vt8414 you definitely can be sued if you use Darth Vader as your entertainer name.

@Easy Money shooter
It’s not hard to comprehend things when you can recognize patterns.
@Easy Money shooter try again! If that was the implication he would not even have mentioned the movie character. That movie came out in the 70s and the actor who played Biggie Smalls became known by that nickname. Tim Bigalow is not the real Biggie Smalls either because that's not the name on his birth certificate. The narrator specifically says that neither Christopher nor the movie character were the real Biggie Smalls. The movie character came first so that's actually the real Biggie Smalls. If Lockhart wasn't the real Biggie Smalls, how was he able to sue Christopher for use of the name, and win, forcing him to change his name to Notorious B.I.G?
The movie character is the really Biggie Smalls lol that movie came out in 1975 when Tim wasn’t even born lol so technically Christopher has more claim to the name over Biggy Smallz
This sounded like my brain was glitching
Wow that's an interesting rap history note. All of it is really sad especially since they are all dead now. They all died tragic violent deaths at very young ages.
