Yeah, there’s a video of him on a radio show back in 93 or 94 when he went out to Cali, and he said “I heard y’all already got somebody out here called Biggie Smalls, so I changed my name to The Notorious BIG”
@Easy Money shooter I thought the real Biggie's name was Tim Bigalow. I thought Biggie Smallz was TIM Bigalow's stage name. I thought Biggie Smalz was Christopher's stage 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
@@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?
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
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.
I saw an interview on UA-cam where Biggie himself says that a man in Brooklyn who heard him rapping on the street called him Biggie Smalls & that’s where he got the name
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”
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.
"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?
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

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....
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
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!
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.

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.
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.
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

Lets do it again came out in the 70's bro that's the real Biggie Smalls bro lol
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 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
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 !
Hearing 'Hypnotise' by The Notorious B.i.g was crazy, especially straight after listening to it on spotify.
"rip my friend Johnny"
Another kid named Jonny: *dies 738628 years later*
Everyone: hey....
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
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
Man still don’t blink in his videos
Notorious B.I.G. always talked about someone having that name. "Who knew he was white ? " Not me !
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?
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
@@moniquefalu7296 “culture vultures” grow up a little
the real one is the one that made that name worth millions
Guys I dare you to change your name to Biggie Smalls. Let's see who accepts the challenge and survives💀
One is caught up playing the impassioned protagonist in one’s Subjective Narrative of Self🎈
In lamemans terms? Lol
@@jasonhughes5473 it’s a bot lol
Lol well said. I'm impressed
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 🤣
And also once when one of biggies albums came out everyone bought that white boys album thinking it was biggie😂😂
The movie character was the OG Biggie Smalls
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.
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
You know when you Google biggie smalls you get notorious
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.
How many of you took this for gospel without doing your own research?
Now the song makes sense after all these years 😅
But it's not because of this short.
R. I. P OG biggie 🙏
I saw an interview on UA-cam where Biggie himself says that a man in Brooklyn who heard him rapping on the street called him Biggie Smalls & that’s where he got the name
“Let’s do it again” was released in 1975 this lil boy wasn’t even born yet! Lol
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”

“Would the real biggie smalls please stand up, please stand up, please stand up”
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.
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?
The rap lore:
Holy shyt!!! Now that’s dropping some serious fkn hidden gems right there!! Had no idea about this
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
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.
Truth is stranger than fiction
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❤️🕊
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....
This sounded like my brain was glitching
Springfield Hollis Crew!
When I hear Bighie Smalls I think of the actor Calvin Lockhart in Lets Do it Again
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.
Untrue, there were at least 3 Biggie Smalls, during that time.
Dude’s name is “Biggy Smallz” that’s a totally different name legally speaking
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!
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.
Was in the studio when Tim Bigelow recorded 3 of his songs!!!.....I was friends at the time and worked for his manager David Esterson.....Such great times and he Biggie Smalls had MAD talent.
Is Tim Bigelow really dead or is he just too embarrassed to admit that was him now as a middle aged adult?
@@juswavvy9634Why would he be embarrassed? He was an Awesome Artist and worked at record companies for years! He's happily married with children. This rumor has got to stop!
@@Tiffonique so he’s still alive?
