The Notorious B.I.G.’s debut single and video, 1994’s “Juicy,” chronicles his life story, from living in poverty to savouring hard-earned success. But the video for 1997’s “Hypnotize” reached new heights in budget and ambition: Instead of scenes from the block, the visuals offer yachts, helicopters, and a backwards car chase. This cinematic imagery cemented Biggie’s legend as a rags-to-riches hero.
