We lost B.I.G. OTD 3.09.1997
Throwbacks of The Notorious B.I.G. with JAY-Z, Mic Geronimo, Abdul Abott (director) at the “Ain’t No removed” video shoot in Miami (April 1996)
It’s the jack-off fist that was popular in the nineties to signal boredom or annoyance.
An example from, ironically, the Whitest Kids U Know
Also, sometimes used along with, “would you like a hand job?”
Here’s an old documentary on its proper usage : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsGnqf3CUW8
It’s a fist.
Ah, I see. But is that ALL it is?
They are holding out a fist. Hardly a gang sign. In African American culture a first often represents struggling against racist laws, and principals, against terrorist groups like the KKK, and white supremacy from government officials like Hoover, or embedded in laws and customs, which would fit the title of the song.
Look, this isn’t complicated, they are holding out a fist. This is a pretty universal expression of readiness or willingness to fight.
Ay ay, more like Melatonitdown, esé. Dontchu know about that Baader Meinhof, homes? Don’t start now.
I don’t know about Jay z, but Biggie has the look of “Bitch better have my money” on his face so imma go with that.
