Jadakiss Recalls Biggie's Strict Rule About Giving Props: 'He Was Super Down To Earth'
"Jadakiss has recalled Biggie‘s strict rule when it came to giving each other props.
During his recent appearance on The Starting Five podcast, the Yonkers rapper reflected on his relationship with The Notorious B.I.G. and how he took on the role as the studio bartender.
“We had this thing where we couldn’t talk about each other’s craft or we couldn’t say how dope we were to each other,” he said. “Like, ‘Let’s talk about anything else except that.’ He was super down to earth. I mean, unbelievably down to earth.
“You could come into his session, he always wanted to make you a drink, he thought he was a bartender. ‘Playboy, you drinking?’ He wanted to make your drink for you, not like tell somebody, ‘Cease, make him a drink!'”
He added: “He’d get the ice, get the stirrers, all that. He’d wanna make you a Malibu, so he was just extra golden.”
Jadakiss talked more about Biggie as a person outside of rap and the intel on Diddy he gave The LOX when the group signed to Bad Boy Records.
“[He was] incredible,” he said. “He had a sense of humor, he loved music. Speaking of Mobb Deep, he loved listening to whatever was out, whatever was dope.
“He sheltered the [Junior] M.A.F.I.A. — [Lil’] Kim, [Lil’] Cease and all of them — he wanted to see them succeed, he wanted to see them flourish. He understood the business, he understood where he wanted to be five years from when he passed from us.
“He gave us a lot of knowledge on Puff [Daddy], like, ‘He’s gonna get on your nerves, but he’s gonna make you a star. He’s gonna make you do some stuff you don’t want, but you gon’ be good at the end. Just trust me.’
“Before we met him, it was like far-fetched to meet him. Then after we met him, he instantly made [The LOX] like family.”
After signing to Bad Boy in 1996, The LOX first teamed up with Biggie on “You’ll See” that year and went on to appear on “Last Day” off his Life After death album in 1997.
They also collaborated on Diddy’s No Way Out track “It’s All About the Benjamins” alongside Lil’ Kim."
I’m like the Dow Jones of rap,
My stocks is high
And it never was all love
So stop the lies
MFs will blow ya brains out & watch ya bleed
Same n*ggas that you trust,
Let em watch ya seed
Lol what about AFTER the session? Wasn’t he rating other artists and calling some of them whack? Like E-40? Or did they just catch him on a drunk day? Lol
But either way, outside of rap, biggie always seemed positive and wanting to help others. U could tell the n*gga just wanted to spit.

One of the best story tellers rap has had. RIP
He was asked about E40 and them during an interview, that's why he rated him
The way kiss explains it I think he didn't want the lox to compliment each other to keep that competitive edge amongst the group and himself. Keep them on top of thier game
Big was the glue to alot of rappers in ny. He was cool with most, but kept n*ggas on their toes lyrically.His death definitely changed the trajectory of the city.

Be honest we never got an album from Bkohs artist direction. Bad Bouk was a R n B label with commercial Raps and a taste of gritty hood mafioso that was only palatable during the E vs W.

That “Don’t Talk About Rap/Tracks We Did” Really Shows How He Wasn’t About Ego…He Didn’t Want Ego’s And Jealously To Get In The Way Of Friendship….Thats fu*king
U right he was two above…n*ggas argued all day about who the best MCs were…always a d*ckhead to come thru and try to darken the light…u better be from Queens u bi*ch…
