@@nate8604 dude admitted to standing close by while watching his Brother get jumped! He really RUINED the interview for me after saying that, also he kinda slightly stained Big's Legacy playing himself like that! Big my FAVORITE RAPPER & IM PRO EAST COAST it's not a good look for our side! 🤦🏿♂️🤣
@@michaelm2673 So you condone hating on another man, I ain’t gone lie, that’s real feminine. Too many of y’all jealous of dude cuz he got too successful.
I really appreciate this interview. Mr. Un Rivera tells it the way it is without sensationalizing details. He fills in a lot of missing pieces. Very Good interview !
Lol @terrysmith425.. you ain’t lyin terry! Drink Champs is cool, but seems like Nore is on something. He’s too hyper, and you figure the weed would counter it
Never knew how important this man was to the hip hop industry. What an interview. I feel the same like everyone in the comment section. He filled many gaps to the story i needed. Only reason why i clicked is due to nas - either track when he mentioned Un🤔
Great Interview. This the type of video that needs to go into the national hip hop archives- so much background history dropped. Looking forward to Un’s series.
So many gaps were filled in, we needed him the most 💯💯 you can tell my man was speaking from the heart the whole interview. The series is a must to watch
Never! Instagram is nothing..the 70's 80's & 90's were real, kid . .very real & how life is supposed to be. Instagram is less than a photograph with nothing captured! Emptyness. A Hamburger without the burger!
@@jason-ian-Van-Sloten you’re taking what I said wrong Bro. What I’m saying is what you see on IG is fake where as back in the 80’s and 90’s you saw the samething but it was real and authentic. How people be fake balling and fly on IG but bums and broke in real life, back in the day you had to be what you claimed to be because you really had to be outside and people had to really see you live that life you claimed
This was a great interview!! Never realized Un was Bigg's manager. They always made him sound like soft because of the stabbing. JAY-Z really ran with it like he actually was guilty of doing it. Nas was right😂
I am intrigued very intrigued and sooo keen to watch this....I knew the full interview would cone out later I just chilled relaked and took notes rubbing my hands...waiting for this now i enjoyed every single minute.....It was 96,s 95s 97 's.and we were bumping those hits in the 90s i lived it....
Please don’t keep us waiting long for this series Un. I’m from Brooklyn, Bed- Stuy. I remember me and my friends standing on the corner of Fulton and Putnam after school praying that that Red Land Cruiser would pull up so we could see Biggie. All 10 girls in my HS crew. Imma see if we in that series😜😆. Can’t wait to see it!!!
This is by far one of the best interviews Vlad has ever done. Un is the sole person that was behind the scenes who can tell the REAL story. FULTON STREET SERIES is going to be EPIC and it still matters all these years later because BIG & PAC made history and no one has ever passed them lyrically... Including JAY Z!!!! If BIG doesn't Die, we get the $80,000,000.00 Deal with UNDEAS, we also get The Commission, The true Vision of what these Brooklyn natives had pushed for. Salute to the Homie Lance "UN" Rivera. Can't wait!!!!
@@nate8604 Try to think back family. Jay was in the runnings and was getting there. He's definitely that dude right now but back then, he was still rapping fast and BIG was on another level. He actually got Jay out of that mindset. Jay was another dude that wanted to be in that calling. He surpassed Big L, Ghost and Rae and a few others BUT BIG was definitely in that lane... Lyrically.
@@MrDavidQuinonesTheExec but lil cease said big said himself jay was better ..thats why i dont be understanding how niggas b talkin crazy bout jay like he aint dat nigga
Pleasure to know and work with this man!! Taught me a lot.. Treated me like a lil brother!! Molded me as an artist!!!! From recording songs in the studio in the basement of his house, spending his own money with no contract, to getting me a demo deal at epic records with featuring songs from Dutch and spade of major figures. Stand up guy!!! All facts all I had to do was make music!!! He took care of the rest.
Everyone from the town has their story but to keep it real, in the 80’s and 90’s the wildest neighborhoods were Brownsville, East NY and Redhook. What UN is speaking to was somewhat normal. Sad but true, what he is speaking to was the norm in Bedstuy and Crown Heights.
Facts. Gives a big prospect on what really happened and just how much Puff was more involved than most of us thought. Lance",Un".. Was willing to take a bullet for Big. Was Puff !!??? Nope
@@luisrivera8154 was he implying that puff knew better to have Big at that party that night. Puff made him come out when Big only wanted to chill and smoke till it was time for his flight. Was he set up?
@ericjay my goodness Pac lied !!!! He knew Big did not know that he was going to be set up!! Listen to the lil Shawn interview on drink champs . Big warned Pac about hanging certain people. Pac tells those guys what big said and they approached Biggie !!! Who does that????
I don't know you or any celebrity but I Love the work ethic of you all. And Thank You Kind Sir for telling your truth. Alot of things you said made so much since. Stay Blessed
Thee most underrated dude EVA!!! Nobody ever asks if puff and big was so close why he start a company with a whole other dude and put all his artists under that brand? Big was gone be bigger than puff which is why puff had him unalived. Big artists would have been major!!!
I lost my job cause i worked a few blocks away from big funeral so snuck out of work , came back they were looking for me . Always can find work , never will find another BIG!
I kept passing up this video 🔥 but I'm glad I finally watched it was well worth the time 💥Thnx Un for sharing your view 💝 and your life and experiences🌹 God bless you soldier 👑 Keep Standing 💜💨
36:00 Lance is talking about my cousin who was called Puma at the time. I'm shocked to hear his name in all of this. I never knew how close he was to these guys amd the beef. He ended up going to prison for 20 years, but is out now and has really turned his life around. He doesn't talk about his life before prison but i have so many questions now.
Fully enjoyed that interview. After hearing his name ever since Biigie was alive but not hearing his voice or reading anything in print by Un' ......now waiting for the whole Conway interview to drop on M.E.O
Weird , I fell asleep and was dreaming it too cause auto play took it there and I woke up and listened to the whole thing I’m going to be so tired today.

Un Rivera, we needed this interview years ago. It was worth the wait 💯
Uuuuuuuuuuguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uhuuuu
TRUTH.I THANK YOU BOTH,IM GRATEFUL AND HUMBLY AMAZED.Thank you Dj Vlad.
I wonder why he let all of those false stories about him go without a response for so long. I thought he was a shady guy until I watched this.
I like Un's style. He just tells his story, no extra drama or anything plus he doesn't seem too biased. One of the best interviews so far.
No need for the Xtra
Nah, you can tell he got some disdain for Jay after all these years. 😂😂😂

So true bro, smh biggie was innocent 😤
I really appreciate this interview. Mr. Un Rivera tells it the way it is without sensationalizing details. He fills in a lot of missing pieces. Very Good interview !
undisputably the most important hiphop interview this year 👏🏿🙌🏿
Probably of all time
haaaahhaha
Had this been Drink Champs Nore would've never let him tell his story without a thousand interruptions.
😂
Facts lol. If I was famous, I wouldn’t go on that show just because of that.
I've listened to 1 and a half episodes of Drink Champs and literally it's because Nore can't STFU
ALL FACTS!!!
Lol @terrysmith425.. you ain’t lyin terry! Drink Champs is cool, but seems like Nore is on something. He’s too hyper, and you figure the weed would counter it
Un seems like the OG who has all the credibility that no one really took seriously even though they should’ve have.
Ppl sleep on men like him
Can't believe I've been watching this for an hour and a half on vacation and I'm not stopping. Great interview
I was listening to bill withers and somehow made it here. Been here since at @ 1:14:05
Been watching this interview for 2 months finally thay drop the full interview
3 months 😂
Never knew how important this man was to the hip hop industry. What an interview. I feel the same like everyone in the comment section. He filled many gaps to the story i needed. Only reason why i clicked is due to nas - either track when he mentioned Un🤔
Thank you Lance for setting the record straight. Good luck!
Ive waited for so long to hear the full interview. So much interesting stories to be heard. Thanks so much vlad
The best interview of 2023, I can't wait for the series. Long waited.

It’s like watching a movie listening to this dude bro. This interview is gold.
The 80’-90’s was Instagram but in real life. That really was The Golden Era ‼️
Never!

This was a great interview!! Never realized Un was Bigg's manager. They always made him sound like soft because of the stabbing. JAY-Z really ran with it like he actually was guilty of doing it. Nas was right😂
What did Nas say about Jay and un?.
@@debrajames3865On the Jay Z diss Nas did Ether he said “Plus your mans stabbed Un and made you take the blame”
Thank you. However if his friend did it , then jay must have told him to do it.

“Biggie was battling himself on the charts.” - true story.
Been waiting for years- the best Vlad interview I've seen - make him a regular
Love this interview....I can just feel how truthful his story is..
This is the best interview of 2023 and VladTV to this day. I was hooked from start to finish. It’s going to take a lot to top this!

Streets dudes can be articulate and have strong vocabulary. He is a prime example of that. This interview is as simple and detailed as it comes.

This is a comment that the future needs to read. Thinking before you Speak 💯
@@neverhating_63HREE have to bro. We all was young, sat what’s on our mind w/o thinking twice.

I've thought that for years and never voiced it DAMN!!! 👊 😅👊
VLAD , this is the best interview of the 2020s 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It started off shaky but this has turned out to be the best interview in the history of the channel.
You can tell that he's being honest about the majority of his story.
This interview is GOLD...all new to me and thought I knew a lot. Vlad does it again.
It's def some shit I aint know. Aint know Nas was supposed to be in Junior Mafia.
Great interview, I couldn’t stop watching it!
SUPER DOPE INTERVIEW! I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FULTON STREET PROJECT TO DROP!
So glad I don’t have to watch anymore damn clips and can finally watch the full interview.
Finally! The truth unfiltered unbiased first hand. Rest in power Big & Pac
WHOS TRUTH IT ISN'T PACS
If it wasn't for Pac trying to be something he isn't Biggie would still be alive
@@MrJohnnyLightingIf you think that, you haven’t been paying attention. You need to see Puff for the reason Big is dead. Go watch Big Gene.

Definitely was an amazing interview

I lost my job cause i worked a few blocks away from big funeral so snuck out of work , came back they were looking for me . Always can find work , never will find another BIG!
I would have done the same thing lol
But.....BIG was already dead. wyta?
Really dope interview. I always heard the name, but never looked into it. Props to Vlad for letting the man speak!

This is hip hop gold, this is a must see interview if you love the culture.
The Lance Rivera Full Interview is finally up!
I'm smiling like Biggie in the "Hypnotize" music video. :)
Parts of this interview is Dark, Eerie & Haunting… Gives me chills…
Un wayy older so to see everything happen he feels responsible he knew it was unnecessary
Vlad done milked all the Tupac stories now he on to biggie 😭😭😭
lol
Vlad is the biggest plant by the gov't AND a chump. He just allows he say she say to tell stories
These are great stories fk what your talking about
It's more, I found his cousin 😂
😂😂😂
Un and Gene's interviews about biggie are of the most genuine ones. It was so sad seeing Un tear up as soon as he heard Vlad say 'March 9th'
This was a long interview, but I enjoyed the whole thing. Uns perspective is crazy and feels realer than these movies I've seen
Thanks for this interview! Its important that Uns perspective on hip-hop history and the whole death row - bad boy feud is documented!
I believe this dude. He told everything like it was. Seems like a truthful dude
Real knowledgeable segment. Thanks Vlad
This Man Is The Real Truth . Put 1 + 1 Together We Know puff.D Did It Period. Biggie was NEVER To Be In L.A.
Very interesting story ! Thanks for sharing
Fully enjoyed that interview. After hearing his name ever since Biigie was alive but not hearing his voice or reading anything in print by Un' ......now waiting for the whole Conway interview to drop on M.E.O
Ok, u are oficially back with this one, it Will be hard to top.great interview i still have read today on my rotation. ✌🏿✌🏿
I didn't expect him to be so soft spoken.
Can’t wait to see the series !!!!
He gave me a new outlook on Biggie and the East Coast perspective of the hip hop game.
Much Respect
Lots of people wouldn't realize how pivotal was in hip hop in the 90's
This drop had me like "God Damn" in my keefie D voice 😂
😂
Bigge and Puffy ,Mase and Pac was the shit back in (1997) In my school years I know for sure.❤😮 I miss Big R.I.P.
This was in the category with your interview with DWEN CURRY. Loved it! Great story.
finally UN telling his version of things
Yes!! His voice was the one I feel mattered most
Hell of an interview.... Mad respect for Un 💪🏾
I went to sleep with this interview playing in my headphones, and dreamed everything he talked about 😂 it was all a dream!
Same thing happened to me right now and I woke up and restarted it so I could actually watch it! Lol
Rip Biggie
Same!
Weird , I fell asleep and was dreaming it too cause auto play took it there and I woke up and listened to the whole thing I’m going to be so tired today.
@@MeaCulpa04facts knowing my ass gtta work in a few hrs 😂
One of VLAD's best interviews. Hands down.
Yo Un Rivera why you held back a good story for so long? The culture needed to hear it. Thanks it was worth listening in
Time will tell..patience is a virtue. The key is to live life long enough
Whatever cameras you use are Fabulous. This video look so good on my tv. Excellent Quality
It’s crazy that Mike Tyson was really outside like that.
