DJ PREMIER – SO WASSUP? EPISODE 54 (NOTORIOUS B.I.G. – TEN CRACK COMMANDMENTS)

DJ Premier tells the story behind the creation of The Notorious B.I.G.’s “Ten Crack Commandments.” Originally, the beat was meant for Angie Martinez’s show on Hot 97 with Jeru the Damaja rhyming over it. But then Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs intercepted the beat while visiting the radio station and told DJ Premier to call him on the air. Puffy asked for it to complete Biggie’s Life After Death album and things got interesting. Remember, Jeru and Biggie had beef at the time and, well, let Preemo tell it.
