A&E's 'Hip Hop Treasures' — premiering Aug. 12 — follows collectors and curators as they work to acquire items for the Universal Hip Hop Museum. One item on the list: The yellow “Bad Boy” jersey Notorious B.I.G. wore in the 'Juicy' video.
Paradise Gray, chief curator of the Universal Museum of Hip-Hop, even makes a monumental claim about the “Juicy” jersey: “It’s a more rare and incredible artifact than the crown. Me and [co-curator] Pete [Nice], we look at that ‘Juicy’ jersey that Biggie had as Biggie’s rookie card.
”, with the episode also featuring appearances from Biggie’s son, C.J. Wallace, and his widow, Faith Evans. Future episodes will center around famed items like Flavor Flav’s clocks and DMX’s Aaliyah car. And there’ll also be appearances from stars and luminaries like Fat Joe, Master P, Naughty by Nature’s Treach, D.M.C. , and Coolio in his last on-camera appearance before his death.
