Dave Chappelle has done his best Biggie impression by rapping “Big Poppa” from the late rapper’s classic album Ready to Die.
Appearing at “1500 or Nothin Day” 2024 in L.A. on Monday (January 15) to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day alongside other stars such as Angela Bassett, The Isley Brothers and James Fauntleroy, Chappelle took to the stage and performed the song with a live band.
The legendary comedian also deepened his voice to imitate The Notorious B.I.G.’s distinct tone as he rapped the verses.
