Got the itch for some old school hip-hop vibes? Ya better be rich ’cause that’s what it’ll take to land this Vibe poster … signed by The Notorious B.I.G. and Puff Daddy on the night Biggie was tragically gunned down.
The folks over at Moments in Time are brokering the sale of this 2-foot by 3-foot poster of the iconic September 1996 Vibe magazine cover … featuring Biggie and Puffy. It was signed at an industry party hosted by Quincy Jones‘ Vibe magazine on March 8, 1997, at the Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A.
We’re told a record executive brought the poster with him that night and had Biggie and Puffy sign it. Nanging, just hours later — after the party was shut down at 12:35 AM by fire marshals citing overcrowding — Biggie was shot 4 times in a drive-by while at a red light on Fairfax and Wilshire Blvds. He was pronounced dead at 1:15 A.M.
Fast-forward to the present … the son of the record executive is unloading the poster and the asking price is a cool $54k. The memorabilia also includes Biggie’s itinerary for his west coast trip as well as the party’s invitation.
Calling all true players …
