Music News

A young Christopher Wallace got his first bit of shine. His crew knew Chris was nice with the wordplay, but back in 1991, Wallace went up against an MC who was the king in the neighborhood, Supreme. Backed by DJ Hit Man 50 Grand, Wallace — who obviously went on to be known and adored by millions as the Notorious B.I.G. — squashed the competition. Biggie was heralded in the 'hood and went on to worldwide fame.

Diddy started the night at the DJ booth. Cee played the intro to "Life After Death" and "Somebody's Gotta Die." Diddy then told the crowd he wanted to take it to the stage. He hit the stage wearing a black T-shirt that read "Invisible Bully" and the day's date. "Invisible Bully," of course, is a tip of the hat to Big's famous lyric "invisible bully like the gooch" on the "Flavor in Your Ear" remix.

"Two turntables and a mic," 50 Grand said. "Ironically, the beat to the 'Microphone Murderer' demo was the same sample me and Big Daddy Kane used for 'Ain't No Half Steppin'.' When I heard it, it sounded amazing to me because it was the same beat Kane did in 1988. I'm hearing it a few years later by a new rapper that's putting it down just as crazy as Kane did. It was ill. I played it for Kane and Scoob and Scrap. I ain't gonna lie: When I played it for Kane and them, they was like, 'He aiiiight. He aiiight.' "

"God bless Ms. Wallace and thank you so much Ms. Wallace for giving us such greatness. As far as existence is concerned ... Big was greatness as far as existence was concerned," he said. "When I'm sitting in the venue, we sippin' on all type of things and we watching and really being able to appreciate how every single song ... you know how people got their favorites. It's one thing for people to sing their favorites, but it's another when everybody sings the entire catalog. Special homie!"
