Jadakiss Shares What Biggie Told Him While Making 'Last Day' | People's Party Clip

In this clip from People's Party, Talib Kweli discusses the legacy of the Notorious B.I.G. with Jadakiss, including the relationship they developed recording "Last Day" for "Life After Death." Jadakiss recalls how The Lox would always pick Biggie's brain for wisdom and life lessons, like the passion to always be working and never taking days off, and seeing all the nostalgic moments during the "Life After Death" sessions. Jadakiss then goes into the part he played in getting Lil' Cease and Lil' Kim back together before the Junior M.A.F.I.A. reunion. Finally, Talib touches on how Jadakiss is one of the custodians of Big's legacy. Full episode arrives on Monday 3/23 at 9AMet/6AMpt.

Bigs verse on Last Day is a Genius-God level lyrical masterpiece, more than classic. The gift that mans had is just, impeccable with the short amount of time he had to leave this legacy. The lox having this song with him is a piece of music & art I’ll always love, and appreciate. Strait up

Mr Coleman’s Eminem is in my top 10 emcees but this comment made me laugh

[@mr.nobody9697]

@@mrcolemans4504 Without a doubt one of the stupidest comments of all time. Em had a chance to grow as an emcee. He was 27 when he had his first successful studio album. When Biggie was 22 he had already gone platinum with Ready to Die which became an instant classic and one of the best rap albums of all time. By the time he died 3 years later he had a second album that would go on to go diamond and that album would also rank among the best ever and he became with just two albums at age 24 in many peoples opinion the greatest rapper of all time. Eminem is 47 years old that 23 years longer than Big lived. 23 years to hone his craft. Something Big never got to do. We never heard the best of Biggie. You can shut up now.

[@sinematic06]

Jarrel Ely I know some people that have him in theirs. He’s not in mine. I like Chino. His comical references are hilarious but he’s a talented dope emcee. Just not my taste to be in my top 5.

Wish people spoke up more regarding Bigs feelings towards Puff

[@Lord_Bibulous]

The info is out there. They were friends, but not the best friends that Puffy made them out to be. It was Biggie that told Puffy he should be a performer and Biggie was actually his manager. So it's not like Biggie didn't care for Puff. But keep in mind without Puff you don't get classics like Juicy or Big Poppa or One More Chance.

[@EugenejrJefferies]

You can really tell by this interview that Jadakiss really loved being like a big brother Biggie influenced a lot of people it wasn't just Tupac that influenced people biggie did it too just like Eazy-E did too. Rest in peace to those three Legends of the 90s. I mean if you can tell cuz I know Jadakiss he doesn't look like biggie but you know he could have biggie spirit in him that can make him a great incredible artist which he is. I mean if you can look at Biggie's face and Jada kiss face then you can probably see kind of a tiny little bit of similar to one another. No I'm not saying that Jadakiss could look like biggie as a solo artist he could but I mean you never know but nobody can't take Biggie's place I'm not saying like Jadakiss could take his place I'm saying that he could be like doing what biggie didn't get to finish to do but in his vision.
