It comes in the form of birthday wishes, vintage photos, videos, art, special messages, and more, but for milestone years, like Biggie's 50th in 2022, the whole city of New York shows out with events, and significant city staples, like the subway, and monuments, like the Empire State Building, show homage to the certified King of New York. This year, on what would have been Biggie's 52nd birthday, the messages flooded in from fans and entities of hip hop culture, all paying tribute to the man, the rapper and the cultural icon, The Notorious B.I.G.
