Netflix’s new documentary I’ve Got a Story to Tell recounts the origin part of Biggie Smalls’ story — a part often overlooked in favor of the West Coast feuds and his tragic death. The film reminds us of the artist’s raw talent, as well as his undeniable status as a tastemaker. It only takes around 15 minutes for the COOGI sweater — a yarn piece produced by a once under-the-radar knitwear manufacturer in Australia that became the embodiment of Biggie’s style — to pop up in the doc. And that’s far from the only iconic piece on show. The BAPE hoodies, Timberland boots, Raiders merch…the list goes on. |
