Japanese architect Setsuo Ito designed the seven-bedroom, six-bathroom house featured in The Notorious B.I.G.'s video for "Juicy," the first single from Biggie's debut album Ready to Die. The house, known as the "Island In The Sky," was built on the highest point in the Hamptons and sports a rooftop pool and glass pyramid poolhouse perfect for parties with a hundred of your closest friends.

In 2012 it was on the market for $11 million.

from the notorious b.i.g. posted in music by nevereatshreddedwheat

Biggie Smalls was shot in a drive-by at the intersection of Fairfax Ave and Wilshire Blvd on March 9, 1997 after leaving a Vibe Magazine party in Los Angeles with his entourage. They were able to drive to nearby Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was pronounced dead. His second studio album, a double disc set called Life After Death, was released fifteen days later on March 25.

Just like Tupac Shakur's death in Las Vegas the year before, the murder of Biggie Smalls remains unsolved.
