BIGGIE

BIGGIE feat. Sadat X

"Come On" (Demo Version)

 - This eventually found the light of day on B.I.G.'s Born Again album, but that version doesn't come close to this one. This is that Ready To Die BIGGIE.

LL Cool J

"Unknown Demo"

- Obviously not the real title but it says it all. The track is unknown and as you can tell by the shitty quality it is pure demo.

De La Soul

"Roadrunner" (Demo Version)

- This one is basically a De La version of Chi Ali's "Roadrunner". 

The Roots

"Workinonit" (Demo Version)

- Produced by J Dilla.

Mobb Deep

"Shook Ones" (The Beatnuts Remix)

 - This one came courtesy of Stretch Armstrong. The Beatnuts remix to the original "Shook Ones" that never seen an official release.

There are literally thousands of BIGGIE mixtapes out there paying tribute

to one of the greatest MC's EVER. These are without question some of the best.

It's BIGGIE SMALLS day. March 9th. One of the few events that have happened in my life that I'll never forget where I was when I heard the news (the Bad Boy/BMG offices). At the time I worked for the label and we were just gearing up to promote Life After Death. "Hypnotize" was the biggest record of the moment and it was all systems go. Then my man Sol G told me the news... "Biggie was shot". Hip-Hop music has never been the same. Hopefully my NationOfMillions partners will be making Biggie post of their own today, but for now I'm going to re-post all of the BIGGIE Rap Treats we've thrown up. Nothing but rare and classic Biggie

Bad Boy Jr.

The homie DJ Baby Yu does Biggie's legacy justice.

Nothing but classic material.

Happy Birthday BIGGIE!

This is kind of crazy. It's footage of Biggie's last party he attended before he was murdered. The blurb below is from whatever site I jacked this from (can't remember, sorry - don't catch feelings) and breaks down the video pretty good...

"From all firsthand accounts, the 1997 party was legendary. Everyone danced the night away and popped bottles. Big’s “Hypnotize” spun incessantly. No one had any idea that tragedy awaited them. Footage of the party has recently surfaced on the Net, and true to the stories from 12 years ago, heavy revelry abounds. More than seven minutes from an amateur recording of the party show highlights such as Puff Daddy dancing to “All About the Benjamins” surrounded by a circle of women, along with various crowd shots of stars such as Missy Elliott, Irv Gotti, DJ Klark Kent, DJ Clue, Chris Tucker and Ginuwine. The party spinner, identified as DJ Ace, shouts out people such as Da Brat, Aaliyah and Jermaine Dupri. A note at the bottom of the screen said Biggie himself refused to be videotaped. While the party was in L.A., the time on the tape seems to be in Eastern Time. Big left the party at 12:30 a.m. and was pronounced dead at 1:15 a.m., but the video has everyone partying at 1:30 a.m. The party was actually shut down before that because it was too crowded."

This is the record that started it all. More to come.
