This week marks the 20th anniversary of the Notorious B.I.G.‘s death, and one Atlanta news team honored the occasion by going viral.
Fred Blankenship and Mark Arum of WSB-TV managed to sneak an impressive amount of Biggie lyrics into their morning report Thursday. And while some lines work well for daytime news, like a traffic reporter saying, “I know you thought birthdays were the worst days, but I think Thursdays might be the worst days out of Forsythe County”—others… needed some work (“Ashley, Ashley, Ashley, can’t you see / these downtown delays keep hypnotizin’ me”).
Will they be taking home any Grammys? No. Is it charming? Yes.
The pair went viral in 2016 with a similar tribute to the late Phife Dog.
