This is proof of how good chemistry goes a long way in an interview. The interviewer is passionate and genuine, and for that reason, he got responses in kind from Cease. Someone else could hv asked the same questions and gave the whole thing a totally diff vibe.
You’re right, I’ve seen him in other interviews where he would shut down on certain questions and not want to elaborate on some topics but this chemistry is a real genuine vibe 💪🏽
Cease is a good dude. I met him in May 2014 outside a club when they was celebrating big birthday. Took a pic and he was cool. I saw him a year later and he remembered me and gave me a head nod outside. Solid

I lived that "GOLDEN ERA" as a fan & was blessed to have had that part of history in my life. It seems like yesterday. The best time of my life. The day Biggie died, real rap died along with him. Watching this was so emotional. There will never be another era like that. Seeing this outstanding interview was like reliving everything all over again. Why did he have to die I constantly ask myself? He had so much more life to live. Life is so unfair. There's no going back. We just gotta hold on to the memories like we have for the past 25 years, and just keep finding a way to press on. God it's so hard even till this day. I JUST WANNA CRY!!!!
"The Golden Era" of hip hop was the peak in 1988. Rakim. Slick Rick. Krs-one. RunDmc. Public Enemy. EPMD. NWA. LL Cool J. Big Daddy Kane. Etc. The 90s hip hop was "The Platinum Era" when the second wave came out. Tupac. Biggie. Nas. Wu Tang. Jay-z. Snoop Dogg. A tribe called Quest. Ice Cube. Etc. And peaked with Bad Boy and Death Row.
@@anthonyreed5725 i forgot Rocafella records. Rap-a-lot, SoSo Def. No Limit. Our culture is so f*ckin lit. Its a shame there ain't hella young black millionaires all over this muthaf*cka!
@@bignardo95 They were back then, it’s just a lot of us don’t have the knowledge of financial literacy. How to save money, or how to expand it past our primary occupation of work. On top of the fact that a lot of those artists back then got robbed by labels, quite a few of them don’t even own their masters to this day. Yeah, this era might not be looked at as the best musically, but they have the knowledge to not get robbed by labels as much as in the past. More independent artists around now.
This is definitely a genuine interview, I sat back and watched the entire interview, Ces is on point, he took me back to the 90s, I remember being home when I found out that Biggie died, on a Sunday, Ces took me to the actual scene with his first hand account.
Yes I remember my sister telling me that big had died on a Sunday morning. I even remember the cpu I had at the time to look on AOL to look up the what she just told me. I really thought she was mistaken
Honestly I never really heard anyone say anything bad about Biggie or see him on the news all the time or at all unless it was about the ec/ wc beef. Biggie had a big heart and really loved and cared for his community which he came from.
I haven’t seen many interviews with Cease. This was a good interview. He conducted himself well and painted a picture of what it was like to be in the midst of things back then. I do feel bad that he’s had to tell the same story and relive the passing of Biggie 50-11 times. I’m sure it hasn’t gotten easy with time.
Out of all the people they interview about big and pac this guy is is the realest of them all! You can tell he’s not just saying shit to make himself look cool he tells it as it went! Truly interesting!
I’ve always been a fan of Notorious B.I.G. but hearing Lil’ Cease talking about how Biggie looked out for his people has made me have that much more love for him. I know he always rapped about taking care of his people but to hear about the depth of his investment in his crew takes my level of respect for him to another level.
Great interview, many thanks to Lil Cease, I love how much love radiates when talking about that time and life with those legends. Amazing to be around that!!
Awesome interview! Lil Cease shows loyalty, intelligence and maturity throughout this interview. The love he has for Biggie and his family is impeccable. R.I.P. Biggie Smalls!
I had chills so many times listening to this interview. Me and my home girl used to chase that red Lexus Land down Fulton street, tryin to say hi. I had so much fun during that era. That day of the funeral when they came thru was def CRAZY. My pain was felt, they def saw it and put me in the movie at the end of the movie. I definitely definitely loved BIGGIE, There hasn’t been another celebrity that filled me like he did. RIP BIG/ Reppin BK to the fullest!!!
Every time I see that part of the movie with the real Brooklyn peoples I get chills and start crying. The love was real. I knew he was gona be killed after Pac died cause you could feel it in the air.
I LOVE CEASE, VERY EXCITED TO WATCH THE WHOLE INTERVIEW! Listening to him talk about Ms. Wallace walking in Big’s room was so sad. You can tell that really messed him up. 💔

Great interview. Cease said something that I found interesting, was that it took a few years for him to really catch some of the bars Jay-Z was saying back then. I tend to think Hov gets a lot of hate in the rap community, but for Cease to say that, let’s me know he respects the man’s gifts. Him and B.I.G were truly one of a kind.

@@michelewitt2285 yes it’s not worth arguing with them. It’s a waste of time with them. They feel how they feel about Pac, and we feel how we feel about Biggie❤️❤️❤️
Man when he started talking about the hospital situation you can kinda see he was fighting back the tears he’s been fighting since that night. God bless his heart man..
Grand interview. Biggie truly loved his buddy and Cease looked up to him brotherly. Great stories and, likeable brother. 'tells where Biggie came from... Island of true brotherly love... Jamaica. RIP Christopher!
I love how he stated "Biggie" really tried to preserve him from the life of crime, but helped him get started as a legit rapper, they were genuine good friends
When I saw the footage of his casket being driven through Brooklyn to say goodbye for the last time you can see the love that they had for him you can see the impact that he had on Brooklyn you can see what type of person he was by the way these people we're out there and just showing him so much love. I tell you that even though this was a video footage in a whole another state I felt those people emotions love the hurt of losing him everything it was so overwhelming to watch I cry every time but also was really beautiful to see I don't know if he really knew how much he was loved. Biggie also had this thing about him that Tupac had which is one of the reasons why I think they got along so well before all the BS because Biggie seem very wise mature and before his time as well, he also seemed like a cool down-to-earth person until he had to get in that ass but I don't think that he could have watched the things that is going on today and I speak up I want to do something about it he was a leader and definitely could get people to listen and follow him.
I never imagined I'd go all the way to the end of this brilliant interview; seems a really fun guy to hang with; You've got to love how he oozes of loyalty and appreciation for his brother and mentor; I like how he sheds light on the Biggy/Pac debacle too ...
Did I just sit through a 2hr interview like it was Infinity War? Lil Cease told the truth, with no stutters, no stammers, and no change in the Quad Studio shooting story for over 20yrs.
That was a great interview. Really enjoyed it. Also, his album, The Wonderful World Of Cease A Leo, really was a surprisingly great album. Glad to see him doing well in life and working on a new project.
This is one of the realist interviews I have ever seen....The love was real....now that we are grown and wise..."The Purpose" of life truly make since💯
beef was nothing. there was something more behind the scenes with music executives from another record labels, the coke trafficer who was mentioned in 7 day theory 2pac album. if that was not puff it was def James Rosemond who has history of placing hit contracts on rappers.
@@realshit6300 true. Lots of fishy stuff around the murders... Both were becoming larger than their record labels... They would have eventually started their own, and would have been bigger than bad boy and death row.... They were gunned down when they where on the verge of going in that direction...
I really really wish Big and Pac would’ve at least had a chance to talk to each other, it was a lot of misunderstanding and I feel all they needed was to just talk with each other face to face and hash things out. Both of them prolly would’ve still been alive til this day smh Still 💔 about that…
I remember first hearing hypnotize on dj clue going to middle school wit the yellow sony we rewind that joint like 100 times.. damn I miss them days. big was unstoppable rip to the goat
Gene Deal always been an angry bodyguard, but not every story is a lie but not every lie is a story . Cease always been honest and niggas hated on him for that.
Same here, Gene seems like his main purpose is to drag Puff. I believe some of what Gene says but it seems overly dramatic like Nate Boone Craft stories are so overly dramatic it seems unbelievable
He's telling the truth about not wanting to tell this story. Watched his first interview on an old documentary where it took Mrs Wallace to ask him to do the interview, he didn't seem too thrilled was my first thoughts. Thanks lil Ceez your the only one alive that knows every chapter and everyone needs to know what really went down in those days
Yeah, Lil Cease held Big down then and he still hold Big down to this day! That's the kinda lil manz you need on the team..big ups too Lil Cease and The Junior Mafia..
You can just tell he was proud of Biggie and being close to him as he was from the beginning to the end. Just talking about BIG lights his spirit up. Damn….. R.I.P. BIG
This was one of the best VLAD interviews ever. Rest Peacefully, The Notorious BIG! My heart goes out to Ms. Wallace and to Lil Cease, thank you for being able to talk about your brother! I watched you on Hoffa, you weren’t ready to break this open! I appreciate the courage for you to open up about something that is still very hard for you to deal with. Respect my brother! Long Live BIG!
Amazing interview from Lil Cease! Best interview yet to be honest with you! Salute to Vlad for bringing us some great content!!! Great insight... R.I.P. Notorious B.I.G.!!!
In hindsight even through the tragedy of big’s death. He still end up saving Cease’s life and keeping him out the streets like he wanted. So he still fulfilled his purposed on earth
Wow… Biggie made a point to save Cease’s life. Man that makes me respect Big even more! Much respect and shout out to Cease for the interview! RIP Biggie
Listening to this brother, I can see why Big loved him that way,he's a real dude.I wish like minded artists like him could mentor some of these up and coming artis ,then the killing before they really make it would end. I'm sure Big would be proud of the man he helped mentor
Listening to this interview a year later let's me know it will NEVER be another era of hiphop like this. RIP biggie smalls.
Damn to give a little dude on crutches a few bucks to celebrate his graduation and enjoy his day, will definitely bring a bond that’s hard to break. Kinda makes me shed a tear . Rest In Peace Big
Can see the happiness in his face all over again when he is telling the story about big getting signed.
When Cease said Big mom said "Christopher, Christopher" I teared up for real. I love BIG n PAC
That part had me crying…
Being from the west coast Im a huge pac fan but i most definitely fux wit big!! They didn’t deserve that shit i miss em both

@@michelewitt2285 yes it’s not worth arguing with them. It’s a waste of time with them. They feel how they feel about Pac, and we feel how we feel about Biggie❤️❤️❤️
Man when he started talking about the hospital situation you can kinda see he was fighting back the tears he’s been fighting since that night. God bless his heart man..
This interview jus convinced me Pac's shooting had nothing to do with being set up by BIG and his crew. Respect Lil Cease!!
Grand interview. Biggie truly loved his buddy and Cease looked up to him brotherly. Great stories and, likeable brother. 'tells where Biggie came from... Island of true brotherly love... Jamaica. RIP Christopher!
Rest in peace the notorious big
The greatest to ever do it 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Facts
Is pac alive?
ABSOLUTELY!!
Noway. Where
will always be pac's bitch
I love how he stated "Biggie" really tried to preserve him from the life of crime, but helped him get started as a legit rapper, they were genuine good friends
When I saw the footage of his casket being driven through Brooklyn to say goodbye for the last time you can see the love that they had for him you can see the impact that he had on Brooklyn you can see what type of person he was by the way these people we're out there and just showing him so much love. I tell you that even though this was a video footage in a whole another state I felt those people emotions love the hurt of losing him everything it was so overwhelming to watch I cry every time but also was really beautiful to see I don't know if he really knew how much he was loved. Biggie also had this thing about him that Tupac had which is one of the reasons why I think they got along so well before all the BS because Biggie seem very wise mature and before his time as well, he also seemed like a cool down-to-earth person until he had to get in that ass but I don't think that he could have watched the things that is going on today and I speak up I want to do something about it he was a leader and definitely could get people to listen and follow him.
I never imagined I'd go all the way to the end of this brilliant interview; seems a really fun guy to hang with; You've got to love how he oozes of loyalty and appreciation for his brother and mentor; I like how he sheds light on the Biggy/Pac debacle too ...
Did I just sit through a 2hr interview like it was Infinity War? Lil Cease told the truth, with no stutters, no stammers, and no change in the Quad Studio shooting story for over 20yrs.
This was a legendary interview right here 💯💯💯
Real spill
How? It was set up for him to come out with Hollywood answers.
Cut the bs, b. What "Hollywood" answers?
@@twokidsfromthebronx9844 everything was scripted and Bull
That was a great interview. Really enjoyed it. Also, his album, The Wonderful World Of Cease A Leo, really was a surprisingly great album. Glad to see him doing well in life and working on a new project.
The best interview in years, by far 🤔
"I used to be as strong as ripple b till Lil Cease crippled me now I play hard like my girl niples be the game sour like a pickle be"
Yea that’s when he dissed pac after he died
Nobody brought that up
This is one of the realist interviews I have ever seen....The love was real....now that we are grown and wise..."The Purpose" of life truly make since💯
I love Biggie even more after this interview
The BEEF was so unnecessary! Big and PAC Both should still be here! It wasnt even worth it ! People made it worse than what it had to be!
@DistrictOfCrankage
I agree with you 💯. Lil Cease's mom should not allowed him to drop out of school at such early age. Just saying.
❤🙏💔
beef was nothing. there was something more behind the scenes with music executives from another record labels, the coke trafficer who was mentioned in 7 day theory 2pac album. if that was not puff it was def James Rosemond who has history of placing hit contracts on rappers.
@@realshit6300 true. Lots of fishy stuff around the murders... Both were becoming larger than their record labels... They would have eventually started their own, and would have been bigger than bad boy and death row.... They were gunned down when they where on the verge of going in that direction...
Imo. I always thought the beef was more so Suge vs puffy. Their artists just got thrown into the mix and took their animosity out on each other.
Yup! All the outsiders!
Two pioneers that passed… The rap game would be way more advanced if B.I.G & PAC, was alive… Long live the greatest rappers of the GOLDEN ERA
Love his energy.....down 2 earth, real, good person
I really really wish Big and Pac would’ve at least had a chance to talk to each other, it was a lot of misunderstanding and I feel all they needed was to just talk with each other face to face and hash things out. Both of them prolly would’ve still been alive til this day smh Still 💔 about that…
Cease has turned out to be one of the most thorough and down to earth dudes man. BIG would have been proud.
💯💯💯
I remember first hearing hypnotize on dj clue going to middle school wit the yellow sony we rewind that joint like 100 times.. damn I miss them days. big was unstoppable rip to the goat
Lil Cease sounds legit and looks honest. I believe him more than Gene Deal/Puffy
Me to
Gene Deal always been an angry bodyguard, but not every story is a lie but not every lie is a story . Cease always been honest and niggas hated on him for that.
Same here, Gene seems like his main purpose is to drag Puff. I believe some of what Gene says but it seems overly dramatic like Nate Boone Craft stories are so overly dramatic it seems unbelievable
He's telling the truth about not wanting to tell this story. Watched his first interview on an old documentary where it took Mrs Wallace to ask him to do the interview, he didn't seem too thrilled was my first thoughts. Thanks lil Ceez your the only one alive that knows every chapter and everyone needs to know what really went down in those days
He said dude was sharp like a mosquitos needle 🔥
I remember when Big died that was one of the saddest times in hip hop
facts
Yeah, Lil Cease held Big down then and he still hold Big down to this day! That's the kinda lil manz you need on the team..big ups too Lil Cease and The Junior Mafia..
I love how he doesn’t take on the cool guy rap persona, just a well spoken young man a lil rough around the edges
100
They don't make loyalty like this anymore. Much respect to Cease A Leo and Rest In Paradise to the greatest to ever pick up a mic 🎤
You can just tell he was proud of Biggie and being close to him as he was from the beginning to the end. Just talking about BIG lights his spirit up. Damn….. R.I.P. BIG
I rarely watch an entire interview. This one was one great! I l'm gonna blast my Lil' Cease album tonight!
You have to admit, listening to New York dudes talk is one of the most entertaining things
This was one of the best VLAD interviews ever. Rest Peacefully, The Notorious BIG! My heart goes out to Ms. Wallace and to Lil Cease, thank you for being able to talk about your brother! I watched you on Hoffa, you weren’t ready to break this open! I appreciate the courage for you to open up about something that is still very hard for you to deal with. Respect my brother! Long Live BIG!
Amazing interview from Lil Cease! Best interview yet to be honest with you! Salute to Vlad for bringing us some great content!!! Great insight... R.I.P. Notorious B.I.G.!!!
In hindsight even through the tragedy of big’s death. He still end up saving Cease’s life and keeping him out the streets like he wanted. So he still fulfilled his purposed on earth
i love the backstories they are the best to listen to.
I love his version of knowing Biggie.
Comes across so humble and genuine.
You feel the love in this man's eyes, that he truly loved Biggie.
I rely on bedstuy to shut it down if I die put that on my diamond vessel you messing with the devil"- Biggie
R.I.P to the greatest of all times
That freestyle 🔥 The song with those verses with Shaq is probably my favourite Biggie song. "Cant stop the reign"
Biggie Smalls is the Illest! Goat, RIP Biggie, still bumpin Ready to Die and everything else Biggie rapped on.
Wow… Biggie made a point to save Cease’s life. Man that makes me respect Big even more! Much respect and shout out to Cease for the interview! RIP Biggie
Definitely one of the best interviews to end 2021 and to start the new year!!
Man I've been waiting for this interview Junior Mafia 🔥🔥🔥
Lil Cease this interview was so real. Is honesty is one of the best interviews ever
This is one Of the best interviews
Listening to this brother, I can see why Big loved him that way,he's a real dude.I wish like minded artists like him could mentor some of these up and coming artis ,then the killing before they really make it would end. I'm sure Big would be proud of the man he helped mentor
I was resisting till the full interview dropped
You tough lol and I’m mad I watched all them damn clips but Cease gave a great interview
I tried but couldn’t resist
LOVE LOVE LOVVVE alllll this! Congrats to you and your team. KEEP THEM COMING!! Respect ALWAYS. - BZ.
I love Lil Cease's intelligence!!!
Very good interview! Lil Cease seems to be genuine, and he held a great conversation WITHOUT all of the typical REPETITIVE slang. Loved it!
Love this interview
Wow! Great interview! Lil Cease really seem like a cool ass cat! Could see why Big really loved this dude and embraced him like a little brother!
