Pay Homage To Biggie Smalls On The Anniversary Of His Death With This Pin Set

"A T-bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grape"

Next to his lyrical prowess, love of Versace, and the fact that his name is synonymous with Brooklyn, if there's anything Notorious B.I.G. should be remembered for, it's his Proustian relationship with food. Biggie Smalls was so good at framing his stories through the tiniest food details, there is a whole essay dedicated to it by a one person who was partly inspired to become a food writer through his music. "Juicy," "Hypnotize," "Things Done Changed," you name the track, you're almost guaranteed to find a food reference.

But one has achieved more of a legacy than the others, if only because it's so... ordinary in a track that's otherwise packed with decadence: "A T-bone steak, cheese eggs and Welch's grape." That line belongs to "Big Poppa" and it's pretty much proof that even when he was at the top of his game, Biggie kept it real.

Now it's been immortalized in another kind of way. 18 years after his death, Pintrill and Naturel have teamed up on a dope pin set that's a literal representation of the lyric. Priced at $65, the set is super limited edition, with only 200 available and comes in gold or silver, so you should act fast. There's nothing better to wear if you're in New York and headed to sample the Notorious B.I.G.-themed menu tonight at All'onda.
