WATCH THIS RECREATION OF NOTORIOUS B.I.G’S “I GOT A STORY TO TELL” IN A SHORT FILM

Director Aristotle Torres comes through with a short film recreation of Notorious B.I.G.’s “I Got A Story To Tell.” Which is interesting considering that Fat Joe just revealed that the subject of Biggie’s tale was the late Anthony Mason. Perfect timing? Sure, why not. As for the film, it stars Broadway actors Ade Otukoya and Delano Barbosa in the roles of Biggie and Mason and Amina Blue is the young lady that is at the center of it all.

NAS EXPLAINS HOW HE ALMOST COLLABORATED WITH NOTORIOUS B.I.G. ON THE GIMME THE LOOT REMIX [VIDEO]

Did you know that Nas and Biggie almost ended up collaborating for a remix to “Gimme The Loot?”

Let that sink in for a minute…

In an interview with DJ Khaled, Nas revealed that he and the Notorious B.I.G. were in the studio working on a remix to “Gimme The Loot” when marijuana ended up undoing it all.

“He wanted to get me on Ready To Die, and by the time I finished my first joint that was already out. He was trying to get me on Ready To Die, and it never happened. So he wanted to do the ‘Gimme The Loot’ remix,” said Nas. “He put up the beat, and I started writing. But he started smoking.”

Esco continued, “He had some of that chocolate. He lit some of that up, and it was late. We’re lit. I’m like, ‘I ain’t got nothing. This is over today.’”

The rest of the interview is pretty dope as well but that jewels is a headrocker.
