Posts About Notorious B.I.G

Take Vienna is a rock/blues/rap hybrid project from producer/guitarist AS Is and rapper Rukas (original founder of StreetHop.com, so if the fact it’s dope isn’t reason enough to check it out, then that should be).

“What’s Peace?” is a flip of Biggie’s “What’s Beef?” If you like it make sure to check out their other songs on http://www.myspace.com/takevienna.

VH1 is premiering a new series called Famous Crime Scenes. The first episode will debut on February 12th about 2Pac. Here’s the official trailer for it.

Later episodes will cover The Notorious BIG and Jam Master Jay.

Diddy says Rick Ross evokes the spirit of Biggie. Why? Because he’s fat? Ross is no where near Biggie. None the less he crowns Ross “The Don.” But let’s not forget Diddy is the same man who thought shinny suits were cool.

I always thought Cuban Link was a great rapper with a lot of commercial potential as well, it’s a shame his career never really took off after Atlantic shelved him. Anyway, here he talks about why he slapped Pitbull at a Biggie tribute concert in 2005.

Snoop Dogg talks about how Big Pun’s legacy hasn’t been as exploited as 2Pac and BIG’s.

2Pac goes in on Bad Boy in part 3 of Vibe’s unreleased interview and talks about his shooting, jail time, and what he did when he came out.

Here’s Part 1 and Part 2 incase you missed it.

If you missed part one click here. Otherwise Vibe has released the second part of their unreleased Tupac Shakur video interview. ‘Pac talks about his situation with Biggie and why he did what he did and the East Coast.

2Pac was the man.

I caught this video last night on MTV Jams. Apparently Diddy is trying to pull a Kanye West by singing. Anyway, here it is. The official joint “Angels” Diddy featuring Dirty Money and Biggie. Pop back and let me know your thoughts.

Q-Tip reminisces on giving Notorious B.I.G. beats and being in the studio with Big.

Raekwon does a question and answer and speaks on trying to smuggle a gun into the awards because at the time Wu Tang had beef with Notorious BIG and his goons.

In a recent interview with Myspace UK, Jay-Z revealed that he doesn’t listen to his album In My Lifetime Vol. 1. To be honest, neither do I, and I’d bet most fans don’t either. He admits the album failed because he was too focused on creating radio friendly songs.

He also talks about Biggie, their time in High School together along with Busta Rhymes, and reveals the last song he played for him before he passed. Hov also talks about the creative process behind his classic debut Reasonable Doubt and more.

Wow they grow up quick, and Biggie’s son CJ has a mixtape coming out? That should be interesting. Someone needs to warn Diddy’s kid about running with a tooth pick in his mouth though…

Maino shares some of his history.
