The level of swagger and confidence from this 17 year old kid is incredible
He has the exaggerated swagger of a teen Spiderman.
If anything, that's the age of peak swagger
there is no such thing as a 17 years old kid and also teens are supposed to have swager

the exaggerated swagger of
His flow is unbelievable
Exactly! No wonder puff had to take him out the game!
Well he was the illest.
“biggie smalls is the illest”
This is WHY people record 🎥 📱 at gigs. You never know who’s gonna be big and we look back. Imagine if the guy recording didn’t and was _”Just enjoy the moment, maaaan”_
We’d never have this to see.
He wasnt the best but he is
Love Biggie. This freestyle, on the street, in front of the bodega….it’s so raw. It IS 90’s hip hop. No chains, no money waving, no props, no corny face tats….just a man killin it on the mic in broad daylight. One of the all time greats. RIP Biggie.
If this is when biggie was 17 wouldn't this be 1989?
@@thatguyfawkes2328mathematics is a beautiful thing
@thatguyfawkes2328 Yeah. If anything, this is much more 80s than 90s rap. GMFTFF were making disses and songs of struggle, 90s was more about making songs of dominance and wealth
@@thatguyfawkes2328that’s basically the 90s goofy
@@goofballlarry2031 If anything that's literally the 80s and decades roll into the next not the other way round partner. Lol
the flow and rythm he got for a 17 year old is really mindblowing.
Thats the result of no internet or social media so everyday your social skills are used and improved
Young Biggie grabbed him and put him in a choke-hold without even touching him.
God, please! resurrect the true rappers and you can take the current ones to you..
@@SirFaferyes atleast i grew up in an eraa without social media but since im using it my social skills get worse 😂
@@bluelightmoon777 who are you? nobody dog
Yes it's me, the B.I.G
Competition ripper ever since 13
Used to steal clothes was considered a thief
Until I started hustlin' on Fulton Street
Makin' loot, knockin' boots on the regular
Pass the microphone I'm the perfect competitor
Jewels and all that, my clothes is all that
Chumps steppin' to me, that's where they took a FALL at!
B.I.G. without burner, that's unheard of
I stay close to mine like Tina on Turner
Quick to smother, a punk motherfucker
Undercover, word to mother, I'm above ya
And I love ya, cause you're a sweet bitch
A crazy crab, the type to make my dick itch
I flow looser than Luther, words ya get used ta
B.I.G. is a born trooper
Like ice cream I scoop ya, my music you wanna get loose ta
Stay dipped, and I'm not a booster
So what'cha got to say? This mackin' word is bond
There's no other assumption, I got it going on
I'm not conceited, my friends tell me this
Even my mother, be noddin' her head to this
Makes her proud to see her one son get loud
Flip on a sucker, and bow to the crowd
Drink a little Hennessy, smoke a blunt or 2 or 3 or 4
Live in action, guaranteed RAW
Thanx!!
Thx
Thanks!!
Thank you very much!
Thanks, bro. I didn't get sht.
blessed are the ones who saw this live
I'm the guy on the left, the one grabbing his balls. It was an awesome day.
Go visit them in prison
@@AlexDMC That was brutal. :)
@Kube_Dog just a little joke ;)
@@AlexDMC It was brilliant. On point and quick, like an arrow hitting the bull's eye.
How lucky we are that someone had a camera to film this back in 89 and it survived to the Internet age
LOVE how the kid who got served just WALKS away.
there's no words. he can't take it. he just has to leave.
cmz8706 because he alrdy knew after the music go off he is getting his ass joked on lol
Lmaoo
That and the blunt were the L’s he took that day
Yeah his name is primo I think that was his first rap battle that he lost
the fact is he was undefeated before bg came
I love how biggie dressed as somebody’s uncle
Classy
Ya classy
Thief...He said it...
Lmaoooooo
It was the 80s that’s how a lot of ppl dressed
Have you seen the shit a lot of today's so-called rappers are wearing? Lol And what about the multi-colored hair and dorky face tattoos? Half these mfs look like 5 year old scribbled all over their faces with a magic marker.
You don't even need the words, his flow and his energy will blow you away.
1990s for hip hop was like the 1970s for rock music.
He already had his B.I.G. pseudonym at the age of 17. Impressive.
12*
well he was already BIG
yeah look at him
Morbid obesity shouldn’t impress people imo
@@swlk9996 I bet you’re parents are divorced sucka
17? He looks like he already has social security and fixing his taxes
He's just a big boy for his age!
Uncle Smalls
Poor camera video from the late 80's don't help. Its like 180P.
his phone bill must be like 2Gs flat, but nah, he doesnt, his accountant handles that
Lmao
Everyone standing around slowly realizing they're in the presence of a rap god.
The good old days when we used to socialize in person and EVERYBODY was always outside. I miss 1980’s and 90’s Brooklyn. And I miss Biggy!
I mean, we still do this
that's what happens with y'all terrible ass roads
we still do your just a loser now
Cosign. I was just thinking the other day how much I used to love block parties and playing manhunt with my friends on Bedford Ave. Drinking quarters, italian icees, and a cheese slice from the pizza spot. Back then we were outside all day. Now it's rare for me to see kids playing outside.
He's like a drummer with words. Forever my GOAT
Because he can't breave 😂

First off All dude, Music changes over time, it would be boring if it was all the same for the next 20+ years , you sound just like the people that were putting his music down in the 90’s , just let people do what they wanna do , I don’t know why you care so much, culture changes bro. Lil Yachty never said he was the most lyrical rapper ever either, he makes music he enjoys and you’re just hating on him. Hip hop is and always will be great. I could name several different great artists from this generation
Man growing up in Brooklyn during the 90s was a magical time.
this was 80s
@@leosam6819☝️🤓
80's my dude
There will never be a more naturally gifted Mc. We miss you big guy ❤
This image quality of 89 was better than most security cameras in 2020
Are you sure you trying for picture perfect when selling dope
Video nd audio
U rly thought u was funny right here
@@jettbezos8074 what
Security cameras have low quality on purpose because imagine how much space it would take when you record 24/7, isnt this common sense?
No studio , no edits, no voice tune and still sounds a million times better then music today
Nah fr.
Listen to better music dude. Music is as good as it has always been. Better, I'd argue, because there are no barriers to putting your music out there so we just have exponentially more music than ever before. If you can't find good music NOW? it's a you problem.
@@Just.Kidding sober up , more music is not better music i dont like fasade rappers with auto tune....reply when your sober off the meth ..unless of course your just fake af an into listening to the fasade , if thats the case then to stand to close to the fire place your plastic ass will melt
And no mess ups
@@jacobingram8152 yeah for sure
Amazing that this was recorded. It's history.
The stuff of dreams to have people from all over the world singing your praises years after your passing. RIP..
I don't care what anybody says, Biggie is the GOAT
Adem Zettl
thats true
By far the BEST EVER!
Yep. For me he's the greatest.
In terms of flow - without a doubt.
But I always think to compare him with rappers like Pac is just impossible.
Apples and Oranges
King of Brooklyn, @ me all you want.
Wow... no era of rap will ever top the 90's Biggie easily top 3 in history.
Its just nostalgia, that’s the reason bro
Freedtylye....shit he was number 1. R.I.P...B.I.G.
Steven Singh cap
@@Xyzc.xyzc1 Nope I wasn't born in that era or get nostalgia it's because this shit is the best out there. Flow is unbelievable, story telling is on point, and the voice adds the final touch. God damn perfection.
He was fat as fuck thatswhy
This is absolutely outrageous. Talent on this level is unreal.
shut up...shut your dirty shit mouth
RIP 🙏 OG.....ONE OF THE GREATEST... STILL B I G in 24 💥
He had a powerful aura even at 17. When you first look at him you don’t think much but when he opens his mouth his whole swag speaks volumes. I’m impressed
You should read the Alchmyst, Diary of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel. He touches on living legends like celebrities and how they have the aura that draws people to them. He doesn't talk about B.I.G. but he touches on celebrities like Michael Jackson, etc. Really interesting SCI-FI series of books about legends like this are immortal even after they leave us.
One of the real legends in rap so young and so much power in his voice, just basic beat and the words do the flow. R.I.P B.I.G
YUP!!!! MR,,,,,BIG,,,,, YOU,, DEFINITELY,,,WILL BE,, DEEPLY,,,,,MISSED!!!! RIP!!!
I mean. That flow ain’t his own tho. That didn’t come till later. ✌️
@@newagain9964 who are you saying he took the flow from? It sounds quite similar to his signature flow imo
In my mind, this is the greatest rapper ever. Best flow, strongest voice, and hands down most clever lyrics. He was great.
Imagine if he'd put all that effort into a job. What a waste.
One of the clearest examples of a candle burning twice as fast for twice as strong. RIP to BIG.
I keep coming back to this video every 18 months and it still pops!!!
Biggie sounded like his albums irl. Insane.
This 1 minute improvisation of a 17 years old Notorious Big has more talent in it than the whole discography of all new era rappers. That is talent like few. Love it.
Edit: Thanks for the likes 👍
Some definitely sounds pre written
@@Xxmeca421xX lol that is not pre written g. You too used to lame ass rappers from this era
@@JayH22 it's a bunch of different pre written lines and then a few off off the head lines.
@@Xxmeca421xX Its same with most freestyles. I dont remember who but somebody explained it that rappers are constantly thinking of rhymes and playing around with rhyme schemes for different words and topics and write the best ones down. In the heat of the moment your brain starts firing off the different rhymes that fit the situation in a battle, it doesnt take away from the freestyling skill at all.
You are just prepared for the battle.
@@Adusti I think it does take away from the skill, freestyle means makin up all of it on the spot completely new, and managing to actually make it work no different than pre-prepared. Think about tupac's hit em up, imagine he randomly bumps into biggie in the street and they start a freestyle battle and he just thinks of hit em up for the first time, and biggie comes up instantly with who shot ya as a comeback. Impossible. Freestyle is nothing but limited/minor modifications to pre-prepared stuff, not completely new and polished masterpieces just flowing in in the moment. That happens extremely rare, with a lot of luck and with only a few words.
This is invaluable footage…history captured at the perfect time.
I'm not into rap anymore like I was when I was in my teens in the 80s or early 90s but when I hear Biggie's voice I'm just mesmerized and my ears force me to listen.
Everything from his cadence to his tone of voice is pure gold. Damn, what a huge loss for the entire world. Think of all the great music he would of made if it weren't for his untimely death. I miss the 90s........
And he didn't mess up not once!
Untimely? Maybe he shouldn't have acted like a thug tho keep the money drop the gang shit
@@myyoutubename1756🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
A huge loss for the world? Yeah because he was obese. Guy recited words that rhymed over drum loops. 90 IQ type stuff my friends. You all really need to see what it is you are idolizing.
No auto tune, no equalizer, etc. just straight up raw talent and power from the great...
@@Ashamed.Loser69 W Pfp comparsion
Such an honor and pleasure to have had listened to his music, puff’s, mase back in the day, especially when one had just become a teen, a boy at that. The novelty of those experiences for a teen, just beginning to explore yourself, life outside school with peers, the opposite sex, with their music (also R&B during the late 90s-early 00s) as the soundtrack. It just feels so special! Feels like the golden age of R&B and my life!
R.I.P homie..One of the best rappers out there. This popped up on my homescreen. Brings back memories.
This 1989 flow is ahead of what we have in 2023.
Biggie ain’t fat, he’s full of lyrics
And McDoubles
and fire!
He could literally have eaten 2Pac
Oh no...he fat.
Nice ! 👏🏽
While Tupac was in private school learning how to dance and sing, Christopher was on the corner droppin this. I was a corner kid.
And people spew bullshit that he's not the 🐐? 🤡 shit right there my brotha
89 he would’ve been with digital underground at this time
@@tupenny1331 Doin The Humpty Hump!
@@martymcfly8733 correct
At the same time being exposed to the Black Panthers. Akin to the philosophy of Malcom x
Sound of Biggie's voice made my days and nights worth getting up for,
2 Thousands nostalgia was like a kiss from euphoria
You can tell he was going to be a superstar even before he was famous!! Rapping was his destiny!
In loving memory of
Christopher Wallace.
God bless
Thank you...
For me its BIG's voice. Dude was an absolute legend and it's no wonder people still talk about Biggie as much as they do to this day.
Love how yt recommendations blessing me with this
I just keep watching to see the crowds reaction. soooo good
one girl peeks from behind a guy like "oh, he's still there lol"
I did the same thing you did; that was so real. B.I.G. the best ever.
That's what makes it better
Whatever happened to good old rap hip hop legends like this. Nowadays rap is just not cutting it.
I’m down for 2Pac for life but I don’t see how anyone can give thumbs down on this. 100% raw in the streets.
That’s the real heat…and all from the corner with a toy mic, never knew it was so sweet, rock on forever brother.
I always come back to this video some how, and im always reminded how nice the 80s and 90s were.
People were truly living in the moment and enjoying themselves which is something of a rarity these days.
this man's confidence and flow was unmatched
Just a young kid, the crowd was enthralled by Biggie. Witnessing hip hop history! Wow!
We need more!
Its the way this randomly popped up and i knew almost all the lyrics already 😂❤❤ NYC LOVE
Biggie's diction was total style and talent, not just his rhythm. He was a total performer.

Man there's plenty of words you can't imagine that can be rhymed
Eminem rhymed Yoda with many other words like he did with Orange

Btw Big Sean really came with a great album
Thats not Biggie Smalls, is Notorius B.I.G. They´re not the same person.
@@melquizedec Man his real name was Christopher Wallace and his rap names were The Notorious B.I.G, Biggie Smalls, Big Poppa
They all are same bruh
I think RUclips algorithm is a damn thing because it's the music intro of one of my fav podcast.
A great discovery, Biggy spits fire
Always great when yt throws this in my recommendations again.
From a jazz player , B.I.G. had a smooth flow , one of the all time GREATS 🙏
Why you a punk? HE WAS THE GREATEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he is all over the barline, and his eighth note feel is so so SO good
This one minute freestyle a 17 year old did is better then almost every modern rappers careers
What do you mean "almost"?
@@SandroMagna because some modern rappers are good. The majority still trash
@@mctriplefatal none
@@SandroMagna bro even someone who hates modern rap knows your dumb and closed minded.
Rappers like Lil Baby, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler The Creator, are some really good rappers. I don’t believe that their better then this freestyle or old rap though, so apologies for not being clear enough. Modern rap can be good, your just not looking hard enough
@@SandroMagnaok cmon now be more specific, 2001-2015 still counts as modern rap and that was 50,Eminem, Kendrick, Kanye. If you like old hip hop they still retain a lot of what made the genre popular and more importantly GOOD. After 2015 the cesspool of shit was opened on the genre.
Truly gifted. Lyrics keep flowin and flowin and flowin...
That voice. So hollow in the center, crisp, deep and impeccable timing
This freestyle is better than MGK's, Lil Pump's, 6ix9ine's and Smokepurpp's whole career
Of course, those dudes are all fabricated thugs. 🤣
@@princegroove true
@Bruce Bruce the cat yess
Im a huge biggie fan but yall are sleeping on MGK because you want to ride Eminems tip. It's fine if you don't like him, just admit its because you've only heard like 3 songs and Em told you he was a mumble rapper lol.
@@solarblitz4524 I've heard the whole Binge EP
BEST MOMENT ON RAP HISTORY!!!!!!!!
They sure dont make real rap like this anymore. This was back when rap was actually real rap/hip hop.
Biggies music is timeless. I’m in my early 40’s and he’s been my favorite since high school. I always think of what else he would have done in his career had he not died so young.
Just think how great the 90's were. Just awesome! When you had to be good to be good.
The man was cold at 17 and still one of the greatest of all time 👍🔥😎
Christopher Wallace
You will be remembered forever !!
Amazing! Forever. Just imagine being those people that saw that
I miss Notorious B.I.G.!
Love this dude and his music. I am actually a huge Country music dude. His music was awesome!

Christopher Frank White Wallace , we all miss you and enjoy the music you made to this day still
This freestyle hits different after I watched “I got a story to tell” documentary. GOAT.
The time nobody had a mobile phone and actually watching the show, instead of recording and missing this true legend freestyle.
Yeah I wish there was a recording of this though so we could watch later after he died
And if they did have mobile phones they would be recording then too 😆
@@BushidoRyu Thats obvious 🤣
@@BushidoRyu Those cowards. Why does everyone have to record Biggie Smalls rapping, when they could be living in the moment
Yeah people always recording shit. I wish someone had been recording for this freest- oh wait...
I was fresh out of HS in 90 in Albany NY. Remember listening to his stuff all the time. Definitely had a talent for the rap game.
Recommended algorithm blesses me with once again with historic footage.
This has to be the greatest freestyle diss of all time, it's like the dj had this planned out
Everytime I watch this I just love the guys in the background with huge grins on their faces, because they know who Biggie is and the mistake whoever dared challenge him just made, and also they are just in pure admiration of how he is like an unstoppable tank when it comes to freestyling. I mean he just.. continues..
Как же он хорош
My goodness…some people are just born as something different. Outstanding
It's unbelievable what Biggie did in the the 6 or 7 Years he had remaining on this earth after this video was filmed! and still to this day, can I get an Amen
truly gifted, truly loved, truly missed, rest in power BIG
Love how his voice cuts through the music and floats right into your ears
Wow a breath of fresh air ! Can't wait till there's some talent like this in today's scene !! But im not counting on it 😢
Rember this watching grewing up as a kid. Looking up to biggie. Now as an adult i only realise how young he was. Even after dead he was a big part of my life for many years.
