She also said he didn't eat sardines for dinner. "He got to a big boy," she said. He was obviously eating more than sardines.

Mayonnaise heads? You don't think that comes off racist? Also, how much of the old history do you really know? The neighborhoods been built out since at least the mid 1800s (though you can go further to before it was built out too) and wasn't anything like what biggie grew up in until the 70s.

Block is beautiful looking, but what's with the boarded up house?

I wonder if the selling price is a normal market price or the owner is trying to sell at a high price cause Biggie lived there.

lol, don't believe everything you hear in a rap song. Biggie from everything I know about him was not as poor as he tried to let on. By no means rich but they didn't go hungry either.
