Want To Live Like Biggie Smalls? Then Don’t Buy His Old House (VIDEO)

In a further sign that New York City ain’t what it used to be, you can now buy Biggie Smalls’ childhood home…for $725,000. Yup. Remember all those songs about him growing up in the hood and selling crack and eating pizzas by the store? Well, that was probably the case when Biggie was growing up. But in the past 10 years his Clinton Hill neighborhood has turned from a crime ridden shithole where people lived in poverty into a land full of hipsters and yuppie couples. It’s a sign of what’s happened to NYC. I live there so I appreciate the “not getting shot in the face” thing. Still, I can’t help but wonder where the next Biggie Smalls will come from?

Would you buy a fucking album with some hipster douchebag complaining that when he was growing up he had to go to a second tier private school? Or how about his life of crime stealing a bottle of agave nectar from the local espresso bar? I wouldn’t. While it’s nice that New York is safe, it’s become really fucking boring.
