BONUS EPISODE 4: 3.10.97 — CHUCK PHILIPS AND THE DAY AFTER
Listen now
Description
Rehashing the day after Biggie was killed is old news, for you maybe it isn’t. What isn’t old news is Chuck Philips’ article on March 10th of 1997. In reading this for the first time with fresh eyes, it’s like staring at a painting in the Louvre for three days, and on the fourth, you find a different pattern. The headline of the article reads “Gangsta Rap Performer Notorious B.I.G. Slain.” Barely 24 hours after the murder of Biggie, the narratives being pushed by the LAPD begin to form through their future mouthpiece – the LA Times & Chuck Philips. The Dossier II: The Secret Biggie FBI Files is a production of Criminal Minded Media, Action Park Media and DCP Entertainment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
