03/06: Biggie Tribute at AOL Music
AOL Music has a
tribute to Biggie. They have some DJ remixes of Biggie tracks,
the full "Greatest Hits" album up for listening, a
lyrics quiz and
tribute video where Jadakiss, Styles P., Mister Cee and the founders of AllHipHop.com (Greg Watkins and Chuck Creekmur) talk about Biggie.
Styles and Jadakiss said that the day before he died (also the first time they'd been in Los Angeles), Biggie said he loved 2Pac and Jadakiss said that Biggie said he was gonna stay in Caulifornia for another month.
Mister Cee said that the "Hypnotize" video was who Biggie really was. When it came to pick favorite albums, the AllHipHop.com guys both picked RTD, but Mister Cee, Jadakiss and Styles P. picked LAD.
Mister Cee on posthumous work:
... If Bad Boy Entertainment has more Biggie material, they're going to try to put out another project. Business is business. And we don't know if Biggie would have worked with an Eminem if he was still alive, we don't know if Biggie would have worked with a T.I. if he was alive. Or whatever the case is. But, the fact of the matter is that those types of artists is what's current and what's hot right now. You have to be realistic on trying to connect Biggie to the current audience.
