We lost B.I.G. OTD 3.09.1997
Throwbacks of The Notorious B.I.G. with JAY-Z, Mic Geronimo, Abdul Abott (director) at the "Ain't No Nigga" video shoot in Miami (April 1996)
It's the jack-off fist that was popular in the nineties to signal boredom or annoyance.
It's a fist.
Ah, I see. But is that ALL it is?
They are holding out a fist. Hardly a gang sign. In African American culture a first often represents struggling against racist laws, and principals, against terrorist groups like the KKK, and white supremacy from government officials like Hoover, or embedded in laws and customs, which would fit the title of the song.
Look, this isn't complicated, they are holding out a fist. This is a pretty universal expression of readiness or willingness to fight.
"It's not complicated"
Was just wrong and ironically kind of racist, honestly
The photo isn’t a raised fist like this ✊🏼
Not all black people making a fist are showing readiness or willingness to fight
Its a common euphemism for jacking off. Usually means this is what I think of what your talking about or you.
I don't know about Jay z, but Biggie has the look of "Bitch better have my money" on his face so imma go with that.
