Has it been 10 years already?




Those of you who don't subscribe to The Source may not have known it was the 10th anniversary of Biggie Smalls death this weekend. And here in LA, the radio stations were playing wall-to-wall Biggie Small. We listened on the way in and the way home Friday, and after about 3 hours of this, we began to hear songs that we never knew he recorded. Think we just heard him sing a duet with Elton John…

More signs that it's been a long biggie marathon:

  • Hearing a previously unreleased cover of Lionel Ritchie’s “ Hello” that was dedicated to his wife, Faith Evans.
  • They played a Busta Rhymes song where Biggie Smalls was not performing, but he was in the studio during the recording and he can be heard to break wind loudly in the background (luckily, he let burst the vapors in time with the beat, so it wasn’t caught until the record was already released.)
  • A rare recording of ‘Dangerous MCs’ where the engineer left the recording go on too long and you hear him tell Sean Coombs “Nah, I wanna wait until after I fake my death to release that song.”
