*sigh*
UPDATE:
New Music: Maino “March 9th” (thanks Splash)
DJ Clark Kent talks to TheLifeFiles about deejaying for the late great Notorious B.I.G., co-producing the Junior Mafia album, and their friendship. Clark and Biggie even debated the talents of Jay-Z, lol. Great imitation of Big Un, Clark!
Biggie’s former manager Wayne Barrow spoke to Combat Jack/TheSource about Biggie, the sex symbol ; )
Egotripland’s Chairman Mao dug up his 1997 Source Magazine interview with Notorious BIG, which would be his last in the magazine. (Read it here) I love Mao’s sharp memory, as he shares behind-the-scenes details like:
“The first night I showed up at the Daddy’s House Studios to interview B.I.G. he wasn’t there. Instead I got to watch Sean Combs in the studio’s main room playing hit-maker drill sergeant, seated behind the boards instructing some female back-up vocalists (hidden somewhere in the dark of the booth) exactly how he wanted them to enunciate the refrain, “He told you he won’t stop/ He told you HE won’t stop.” I swear I could not tell you the difference between how those girls were saying the line and how Puffy was directing them to say it, tho obviously he had something really specific in mind. Seeing as I wasn’t able to do an interview with someone who wasn’t there, someone took pity on me and left me alone in a storage room with a Walkman to listen to some rough mixes of tracks from Life After Death.”

When I think of the reaction in the Hip Hop community as a whole when Biggie passed, the raw emotion of loss some many went through it kind of cements for me the passion that our era had. We didn’t merely “like the music” Biggie made. Many of the fallen greats represented us.
I wonder if there’s that level of loyalty to any today’s current stars?
RIP to one of the greatest…..

Real talk my Dude, felt like I lost a family member. Some chick I was dealing with at the time was like “…it aint like you knew him.” (I wanted to smack her…)
We felt that way because of the music but for me it was because he was trying to leave the BS alone and continue to blow up & some knuckleheads wouldn’t let him. Still a stain in not only the hip hop community but all around.
R.I.P.

For some reason Biggies death wasn’t as traumatic as Tupacs was to me. I felt Tupac because of his emotion. I felt Biggie because of his rhymes. They both were big losses to Hip-hop. Like my mother always said “things happen for a reason”, because of their deaths we got a mogul in Jayz, and a lessons learned in terms of beefs going too far. I always wondered how Jayz’s career would have faired with Biggie still alive.

@Brucebaner1 I always thought that too, for real if Big was alive, how far Jay would of climbed?
But man, every year on the anniversary of his death, I never get tired of talking about Big I dont even have to wait a whole damn year to listen to his music cuz I’m on it most of the time.
Wish I could of get to shake the man hand a dap or something, or atleast see him perform live.

man listen….Christopher George Latore Wallace aka Frank White aka Biggie Smalls aka The Notorious B.I.G aka The Architect. But personally, the greatest to ever do it. Im 28 years old and I feel for these younger kids that only have Waka Flacka & Gucci Man and all these other garbage artists to look to. God Bless the Dead and RIP Big……..severely missed

RIP to Biggie. The best mc to ever touch the mic. Warning is my favorite joint, the way Biggie was flowing on that record was sick. Listen if Biggie and Pac were alive, these rappers today wouldn’t stand a chance. RIP BIG. BK stand up!!!!!!
