Rare Notorious B.I.G. documentary surfaces [WATCH]

According to XXL, a rare 1995 Notorious B.I.G. documentary has surfaced, which gives viewers a peek into Christopher Wallace's stash spots, his mother's home and other hold hangouts in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn, where he grew up. The video follows his daily life and takes place right after he released his debut album Ready to Die. It aired two years before his death.

Dating the documentary a bit, the narrator says, "New York was the birthplace of rap but in recent years the West Coast has stolen the mic from East Coast. 22-year-old Biggie has grabbed it back and is now hailed as the King of hip-hop and rap. He's gone from being a Brooklyn street hustler to this year's gangster rap icon."

The documentary then flashes to Biggie explaining how he originally set out to be the biggest drug dealer in the world and how he'd been on the streets his whole life. It shows how Bed-Stuy used to be during Biggie's time. It features and interview with his mother Volette Wallace as well as apperaces from Faith Evans and Diddy.

The documentary originally aired on U.K.'s Channel 4 in the youth-based series Passengers, which centered around "youth culture."
