Notorious B.I.G. Mural About to Be Destroyed, Bed-Stuy Building Owner Says

I wonder how many murals will be left after gentrification is at 80% - 100%
And not just BK, I mean everywhere in the country.
Cacs will probably turn black landmarks into tourist attractions when we're totally gone.
On some this is where the n****** used to live.

In Philly, we have a Mural Committee, so they're all approved before hand...and are pretty much kept up. We also have the largest collection of murals in the US.

I know it's all business dawg nothing personal, but you rarely see murals anymore...especially on the level like this. It just seems like street art is almost to extinction in favor of turning cities into soulless wonders. Nevermind the fact that it's Biggie on the wall, but on an artist level, it's a pretty astonishing portrait of one of the greatest rappers of all time.

But hey more windows and Starbucks to keep the city flowing I suppose

RealAF in a good & honest way (the facts in the 1st & last lines are unfortunate, but undeniable , even if most of us disagree with 'em..).

The one near Cecil B Moore still gives me good vibes just thinking about it.

Inb4 militants lambast the landlord, before realizing the mural was done by a couple of white boys a couple years ago.

Yeah I assumed it had been up since his death.

They can with this. Fools did it within the last 5 years & want support.
