03/10: Video: Mister Cee, DJ 50 Grand Look Back at Biggie's Start; Talk Demo Tape
MTV News' Sway Calloway (with Shaheem Reid) spoke to Mister Cee and DJ 50 Grand in
honor of the 13th anniversary of Biggie's passing. The interview focuses on Biggie's first major moves in rap and they briefly discuss his demo tape, as well.
"'Microphone Murderer' is the main demo [song]," Cee said. "It's the demo that I took to Matty C from The Source magazine for the 'Unsigned Hype' article. Diddy heard about The Source magazine 'Unsigned Hype' situation. So the 'Microphone Murderer' was the demo song Puff heard and got him signed. Besides 'Microphone Murderer,' [the demo tape included] 'Guaranteed Raw,' 'Live in Action' and another song called 'Love No Hoe.' And when we say demo, it wasn't a four-track. It was just [50] DJing on two records in his crib."
Though this quote makes it sound like "Guaranteed Raw" and "Live in Action" were separate tracks, but they were not and this is made clear in the video below.
