Watch The Notorious B.I.G Freestyle As A 17 Year Old

It's hard to know what exactly "freestyle" is these days.

But it was probably a purer art back in 1989. In this clip, a 17 year old Biggie Smalls flexes his freestyle skills while on a Brooklyn street corner.

This video has been around for a while, so you may have seen it before. But it is still another demonstration of the talent of the emcee who was taken too soon.
