This Saturday, May 21, would be the 39th birthday birthday of one Christopher Wallace. Every Biggie fan knows he was Jamaican, but lesser known is the degree to which patois dialect and dancehall music informed his lyrics. While some instances are dead obvious—stop your bloodclot crying—others require some more explanation. In the spirit of the late Frank White, we figured we’d hit you with a little Biggie 101, so those that don’t know… now you know.

No, they did not record a singjay combination (which would be headlined Gyptian x Usain x The Queen–or maybe the Good the Fast and the Queen?) they all just happen to figure in Jamaica-related news items this week and I thought I would cover them in one Monday round-up. Because I know if i space them out into separate posts, all my Vincys and Trinis and Haitians will be emailing and saying I don’t give them equal love.
