Lil Cease’s B.I.G. Birthday Memories

Friday, May 21 2010 11:39 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

If Christopher Wallace were alive, he would’ve turned 38 today. His partner-in-crime, Lil Cease reflects on previous birthday memories with B.I.G. and imagines how he would’ve celebrated his day.

“Today, he’d probably just be with the family,” Cease said. “We had our experience on the road: performing, doing shows, big parties. He definitely would have had a big party. A celebrity affair. But he also would have done something private with the M.A.F.I.A., close friends, wife. He kept it together with everybody he dealt with, and I’m sure they would have all came out and shown their love for Big and kept everything else under the carpet, whatever it was. Big had that type of heart, that everyone would wanna come out and show their love and spend that day with him.”

Rick Ross On Studio Session With Jay-Z

Thursday, May 20 2010 10:12 PM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, Focus

Although Jay’s guest feature on Teflon Don is still titleless, Rick explains to MTV that Hov found time from the BP3 Tour to lay his verse down with the quickness which left everyone in awe.

“Played it, [Jay] listened to it,” he continued. “We played it, backed it up, played it again. Played it, backed it up, played it again. Backed it up, and he spit his verse. It’s gonna be magic for people to see Jay do his “Rain [Man]” when he’s rubbing his head, like he puling his rhymes outta his mind. Just to see somebody come up with a verse that potent in less than two or three minutes … ’cause it was just a snippet. The beat may have played for a minute and a half and started over,” a process Ross says was repeated a few times as Jay composed. “He had his 16, an idea for the chorus. Trey Songz, all of us standing around in awe.”
