Guess what? I had the pleasure of interviewing him for the esteemed internet publication, >bounce/oz.
I'll reprint the intro for you:
Almost 14 years ago, Sean “Puffy” Combs released a single from his latest protegé, a chubby rapper with a wicked wit who sounded like he was talking into a jar. Four days earlier, the MC with the ever-present Kangol and the sad eyes married his girlfriend of two weeks, and was still itching to sell crack, a routine he’d taken up in order to support his two year old daughter.Don't ask, just click the link.After August 8th, 1994, the rap game was never the same. “Juicy,” The Notorious B.I.G.’s lazy tale of makin’ it over a smooth Mtume sample, went on to sell 500,000 copies by November and started an entire hip hop movement, the remnants of which can still be seen today.
Biggie went on rule both charts and radio waves, and started all kinds of drama along the way, beginning with his flagrant affairs, continuing with his West coast rivalries, and ending with his 1997 murder in Las Vegas, just a little over three years after it all began.
But earlier this year, Biggie’s been spotted online, commenting on blogs here and there, and gaining over 225 followers on his Twitter account. Is he alive? That’s not for us to ask; the question is too weighty. But what is for us to ask is this: what the hell has he been doing in the last 11 years?
Investigative reporter Aaron Matthews is on the case.
An interview @NotoriousBIG
reminder, the guy was murdered.
ReplyDeleteend of rant.
beginning of my opinion...
i know what satire is, this satire is in very bad taste. you may even be breaking hearts that have possibly started to be healed in the process of "looking for laughs"
i don't think it's worth that risk.. just my opinion with all due respect y'all.
I didn't create the Twitter account.
ReplyDeleteBut I read it and loved it.
In my opinion, the genius of the NotoriousBIG account is that BIG is still living through it.
Seriously, the Twitter posts read like you would expect BIG to act in 2008.
He's still hanging with Puff, having cupcakes with Cease, meeting Kim for lunch.
Of course, you're entitled to your opinion. I respect you sharing it.
more likely there is a film to plug.
ReplyDeleteSo stop this BS.
