March 9 marked another anniversary of rap legend the Notorious Big’s untimely death.
B.I.G.’s former right hand lady, rap star Lil Kim, stopped by NY’s Hot 97 and chopped it up with Funkmaster Flex about B.I.G. & his lasting influence on hip hop & more.
Kim also revealed a few things that fans may not have known about the fun loving rap legend.
I won’t spill all the beans, but one thing that surprised me is that Big preferred being chauffeured around, mainly because he couldn’t drive.

Piper Kerman’s number one goal is to reduce the number of people in prison.
She spent 13 months at a correctional centre in Danbury, Connecticut from February 2004. As a white, middle-class prisoner, Kerman quickly became aware of the ways the prison system fails Americans – but particularly poor Americans, and people of colour. Since her stint behind bars, she’s become a vocal advocate for prisoners rights.
She’s been on the board of the Women’s Prison Association for six years and teaches non-fiction writing in two prisons in Ohio. And in a move that brought her story to prominence, she also wrote a memoir that served as the inspiration for hugely popular Netflix show Orange Is The New Black.

Georgia gas station employee fought off would be robber with her bare hands and a hammer.
This female might be one of the toughest chicks I’ve seen in awhile. She brought a hammer to the gunfight. Talk about badass!
A would be robber came into to the Keysville Convenience Store on employee Bhumika Patel’s shift with intensions of sticking up the place. Instead of getting away with the cash, he ended up getting attacked by the fiesty lady clerk. Ultimately, he was chased out of the store by Patel and her hammer. LOL!
Here’s the gist:
The teenager waltzed into the gas station shop on Tuesday, picked up a can of Mountain Dew and approached the counter to pay for the soda.
When Patel popped open cash register’s drawer to make change, the normal transition turned violent: the teen whipped out a gun from his hoodie pocket and pointed it at the clerk.
Patel told WFXG news after the stickup:
“I said, ‘Go ahead. You wanna shoot me? Go ahead.’”
Patel credits her faith in a higher power for her stoic bravery in the ordeal:
“I just believe strongly in my religion and my God, if he wants to save me, nobody can touch me,” she said. “That’s why I’m like, ‘No.’ I have my God everywhere with me.”
“That’s why I’m like, ‘No.’ I have my God everywhere with me.”
