Rap Royalty Rarity: Amazing Notorious B.I.G. Signed 8" x 10" Promotional PhotographWhen it comes to the debate of East & West, Biggie & Tupac, one thing separated Biggie from the vastly talented Tupac, his ability to create without recording information. Biggie was "Notorious" for never writing down lyrics or songs, just using his ability to feel the beat and "flow" with his lyrics in a way seemingly no other rapper has to this day with the possible exception of Jay-Z. Following Biggie's #1 single, "Juicy", Biggie would hit the people with another all-time rap song in "Big Poppa" in December of 1994.
Offered here is an ULTRA-RARE 8" x 10" black and white promotional photograph, boldly signed bold black felt tip marker, "To Marcin, Much Love - B.I.G" Well preserved and in overall fine condition.
In speaking with the consignor, it is noted that this piece was obtained in-person during a promotional appearance held in Northern California shortly before his murder.While "Biggie" was known to be accommodating with autograph requests, the facts are that his authentic scripting remains incredibly scarce. To date, we have only seen one other authentically signed photograph, and on the whole we've seen less than 10 authentic items ever appear in the market. When it comes to modern music legends, Notorious B.I.G. is the absolute king of scarcity!
The photo is fully authenticated and encapsulated by the experts at Beckett Authentication Services (BAS).
