Should Bad Boy re-release the classic version of Biggie Smalls?
To the young hip hop headz out there, consider yourselves warned. If you want to hear Biggie as 90s headz heard him when this classic disc first dropped back in the day, this isn’t the version you’re looking for. Pressure Bad Boy to re-release the “classic version” full and intact. Peace.

How did ‘kick in the door’ almost not make it to puff?
That’s a big jump from five grand. ‘Kick In The Door’ almost didn’t make it because I dropped it off to Puff in a 20-minute cassette. Back then when we were dropping beats off, we weren’t burning CDs or flash drives and shit. So I made a beat of that, and gave it to Puff.
