- EP 5 - “MY DOWNFALL”
While Life After Death is rich with vibrant singles like “Hypnotize” and “Mo Money Mo Problems,” the album’s darkness is undeniable. A dominant theme is death whether by fictitious murders or Biggie prophesying his own. The song that captures this best is “My Downfall.”
On Episode 5, we have an ensemble of guests break down the brilliance of the descending track. My Downfall’s producer Nasheim Myrick makes another appearance to further illuminate Biggie’s crown. Then the man who loved Christopher Wallace like none other Lil Cease joins me for one of his realest interviews ever.

The Notorious B.I.G. channel is the official RUclips home of The Notorious B.I.G. featuring his catalog of official music videos. The Notorious B.I.G. is widely recognized as one of the world’s most influential rappers and has sold more than 17 million albums in the U.S. alone. Before his murder in 1997, Christopher Wallace recorded two classic albums as The Notorious B.I.G. His debut Ready to Die arrived in 1994 and helped revitalize the East Coast rap scene with massive hits like “Big Poppa” and “Juicy.” Life After Death was released in March 1997 just weeks after he was shot and killed in Los Angeles. The record topped the U.S. album charts and featured the hits “Hypnotize” and “Mo Money Mo Problems.” It remains one of the few hip-hop albums to ever achieve Diamond certification from the RIAA.

Man when cease said “I look at BIG as a little brother now because I outlived him, when he actually raised me” you can tell he loves and misses Big so much. And the pain is still raw.
💯🙏🏽
Facts G dat hit me too
Fr that hit hard 🤦🏽♂️
never thought about it like that, sent chills down my spine
i felt that shit too
Man, I'm such a big fan. I literally almost started crying watching this interview. My guy got the raw deal. #RIP🐐
Lmao 😂
Me2
Breaking down how he went to watch Casino then he comes back to say “ Watch Casino , I’m the hip Hop Version of Nicky terintino ask nino he know “ Da Greatest
It’s amazing how we still getting new information that’s making his lyrics make sense after 25 years
Angie is a MASTER interviewer. The way she doubles down on questions and poignant details is 💎
She can still get it too
My Downfall is one of my favorites! I wish Puffy voice was not all over the record!!!
BIG 👑🐐
R.I.P👼🏾🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
"I actually look at BIG like he was a ittle brother now because I outlived him, when he actually raised me" - Lil' Cease
Bruh I was 12 years old when I first heard notorious thugs and I can honestly say I’m so thankful I ran into biggies music. That man was so powerful in that booth I couldn’t believe my ears at that time. I couldn’t believe how good he was when I got into the rest of his music. Thank god RUclips came around in 2006 cuz it gave our legends from the 90s another run in the limelight when people from my era ran into their music on the enternet
I remember having the same experience when I first heard Nxggas Bleed and KITD. Sounded like ear candy rip buddy was too nice
Man his life was cut WAY To short , can you imagine BIG next 3 albums would have sounded like plus the commission Album 😩🔥
INSTANT PLATINUM
Ready to Die
Life after Death
Til Death do Us Part
Born Again
The Commission
That's what was the plan...
@@three3thou plus the commission album after life after death makes 3 🔥🔥🔥
He had minimum 7 or 8 singles on that album
HYPNOTIZE, MO MONEY, NOTORIOUS THUGS, F**K YOU TONIGHT, SKYS THE LIMIT, MISS YOU, I LOVE THE DOUGH,
That’s a fact
BIG had that "water flow" in that he seemed to shrink-wrap his thoughts around the tracks, which kept him from being predictable. Lotta MC's have signature flows. BIG's flows lent themselves to however the tracks sounded. Dude was pure awesomeness 🎤👑🙌
Exactly... Big was ill...I always had to defend him against the corny, lame backpack rap fans who said he was basic or simple. They don't really understand flows and lyricism. Big was better than any technical nerd rapper they named.
@K G "Big was better than any technical nerd rapper they named."
Man, I can just imagine having been within earshot of y'all 😄😂🤣
HOW. CAN. "ANYONE " TALK ABOUT. LYRICS. AND. NOT. SAY. " R A K I M "
Like Jadakiss said. He helped the beat. The beat help others
@@nice4real100 Perfectly stated, my man 🎯👌
My favorite BIG song. This podcast had been such a treat as a BIG fan
Word up. My fav Biggie song as well man. This is a heavy treat man as. Big fan
My downfall was tied with Respect off that first album as my favorites
Biggie Smalls songs never dies…..Rest in Peace
That more gone then freemon line still got people to this day guessing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I remember when that line hit me YEARS later. I was like wowwwwwwwww.
Biggie was a visionary genius. For real.
@@DJRashadHayes a Morgan Freeman line hit you years later?
@@Thuggin434 😅
ready for the Bone Thugs episode!!
I actually think it’s a double entendres. More GONE than free MEN
My favorite two songs on the “life After Death “album are “I love the Dough” and “Sky’s the Limit”
I miss you BIG. Listen to your music my whole life. Rest up big man
😂😂😂
@@MarlonG500 imagine being a grown man taking the time out of your busy life to be mad people like music he dont. Sad honestly. Get a life my boy
There will never be another. Thanks 🙏🏿 for the Growth you brought to my life.
We were robbed of a king. Not just a musical king. But a real one who looked out for his people. And led with love. Everybody has good things to say! R.I.P Biggie!! 🤴🏾
Look out for he's people he couldn't even tell Tupac who set hem up and biggie knew about it .that looking out ..when pac was helping biggie with everything do y'all research...
@@jasielbey8935 he didn’t set pac up it was people that was there said biggie didn’t have nothing to do with it pac was warned about them guys but didn’t listen
@@DStreet0586 I didn't say biggie set Tupac smh... what I say was biggie knew about the set up ..and didn't tell Tupac ..
@@DStreet0586 do y'all research new generation.. there's even a interview we're Tupac talks about it...
@Jasiel Bey I know you slow, but check it pac knew who set him up from day one, he was going there to do a verse with lil Shawn and Jimmy henchman was going to pay him, jimmy henchmen got him robbed.
Incredible how you put this together Angie big up
Big’s flow was like a instrument fr. Undeniable.
Biggie was making movies, crazy visual metaphors!!
Crazy Pedo & gay metaphors
I watch scarface classic brillant video smile and wonder why these two brothas pac and big went through that young non sense. I'm a year or two older than them brothas. I lived that Era. In LA. and it's just sad. Imagine if those brothas would have lived. Matured. Pac was super loyal and betrayl was a part of the 7 sins to him .he thought big didn't "warn him" big had nothing to do with it really . These kats were soooo young looking back. Godspeed pac and big. Both their albums are classic timeless.
Good job Angie with Interviews
Big warned him, as well as Mike Tyson, who hung out with all the roughest and elite thugs, about hanging out with Haitian Jack (who set him up with the fake rape charge), and Henchmen (who got him jumped cause Pac went off on him on the phone about the 7K cash he was supposed to pay him for the feature he was on the way to and Jimmy was trying to play him, so he was on you extort all these NY niggas, you not extorting me and Pac went to the studio strapped). Not only did Pac not listen when told, he went back and asked Jack why his man said not to hang out with him. Big could have been killed off rip by him doing that. I wouldn't warn him, living after that knowing went back and told dude. But i'm 100 percent sure Big would have told him regardless. Pac didn't want folks to know what went down, it happens, nothing to be ashamed of, he had his life. They were told to rough him up for the disrespect and leave the Rolex on Haitian Jack gave him, Pac pulled out the heaters. And his man told him in the hospital they stashed the guns for him cause he had enough legal going on and didn't need more charges (which was why he was mad Jimmy wasn't giving him cash as agreed), Pac was like, but I just gave a Vibe interview. And there you have it, two young as hell, best at their craft, Pacs love for his people globally, Bigs for his people, bringing them up, getting them signed, keeping them out of the drug game and sheltering them. The women, oh well. If I was Pac I would have had my head on a swivel and trusted anyone either, but he knew, for a fact, Big was the last one that would do anything to him. People also don't know Jack and Jimmy had a music thing and Pac dealt with them for some reason.
We missed you Big. A jealous Hater took my man out.Not Forgotten.True Legends never Die.
A jealous ‘playa hater’
FBI crooked LA cops and bloods
Damn Biggie! I’m still Amazed! Miss you Big!
Legend
Downfall definitely my favorite BIG song I still listen to it till this day!
Every story is just takes you back what there talking about it’s so Amazing
Genius. Brilliance. Delivery and flow
No lie I had a teary eye just by watching this s***
Wooooord
Soft ass
This is good but if only it was on a binge format because that's how good it is
Rest in peace B.i.G 👑 my Gemini ♊️ brother. I gotta give Angie her 💐 flowers also though. She is really great at giving sit down interviews and makes sure everything asked is answered clearly for the vewers and or listeners. Angie is a legend and also has a album that came out that was way better then people gave credit for and i bearly listen to female artist much.. R.i.p Big 👑
But Tupac was a Gemini also and although biggie was my favourite back then they both were kings at the same time which in itself was weird both died 6 months apart both Gemini’s and 3rd Gemini ♊️ was faith evans 😓
Biggie died because Puffy and him were out in LA 6 months after Pac got killed like shit was sweet FOH
FAX
More F boy excuses. Pac got wacked by west coast niggas on the west coast and somehow yall still blame East coast niggas smh... You dudes is ass backwards
Another great episode looking forward to next wks. I miss BIG everyday and never met him. Appreciate this series frfr.
Xo,
Emily
Shout out to all the episodes. Butt the Best is Next.
Biggie wasn't only getting at nas tho, he was getting at ghostface and raekwon on kick in the door too lol.
Biggie Smalls,Tupac,Nas and KRS One are the GOAT in hiphop history of the 1990’s…..Rest In Peace Tupac and Biggie Smalls……….
Biggie equally as timeless as Tupac. The world will forever speak about them both. Talk Tupac, Biggie reflects silently in your mind. Talk Biggie, Tupac reflects silently in your mind. Can't erase one out your mind when speaking about one. 2 timeless legends.
Agreed well said💯💯
You can easily separate their legacies
That’s ALL cap 🧢 lmao…..no one cares about Biggie outside of NY & the surrounding Eastern states
@@MarlonG500 biggie 1 of the greatest to ever touch the mic my dawg respectfully
@@MarlonG500u crazy
I wonder what the last episode title will be. I predict either: Mo Money, Mo Problems, since that somewhat encompasses the time...maybe You'll Nobody (until somebody kills you) or even possibly Miss U
Likely Mo Money
The last track
First off, Angies leg game is so serious right now, we need more zoom out shots of that. Mr. Kent is giving me kanye i'm nervous and confused vibes, on some "George Busch doesn't care about black people."
Clark was right about Big going at Nas on "Kick In The Door" but he couldn't really explain it. The 3rd verse was going straight for Ghost & Rae...and a little bit for Nas.🤣
He also had a couple of bars for Nas on victory
He also went at Jeru Da Damaja, because he took offense to "Ya Playing Yourself."
nd it was all done subliminal... nd thts wht got him killed rapping a long kiss on radio in Cali knowing he sneak dissing thinking nobody knew...
@@jimmybrown2040Everybody knew…
@@jimmybrown2040 naaaah....
24:32 I felt that shit. Almost brought a tear to my eye! #ripbig
Imagine if Biggie was still alive till this day.. Dayuuummmm the rap music will be something totally.
Biggie Smalls is the illest 👍🏾🇬🇧
Whatchu talking bout Willis?
The way Cease still has so much pain in his eyes…. You can tell he lost something precious that can’t be compared or duplicated. We lost a great one . And Ni&&as bleed is my favorite song too
We do not know how to appreciate people in the their present
Happy Memorial day
It's beautiful how Cease still looks up to him like a kid. The loss of big must've been hard for him 🙏🏾❤️
pac never said big set him up lol, Funny that angie knew that clark was talking shit lol you can see it on her face 😅
No
Angie just knows how mentally deficient Tupac fans can be and knows her DM are gonna be full of more stans than ever now lol
@@futureflavors205 lol yeah whatever 😂
Yea. Vibe interview and mtv awards interview to name a few times where tupac said his beef was the false sense of security and BIG ending communication. The timing of Who Shot Ya was definitely exploiting the situation. Hit em up was its response. Against all odds was for those responsible in quad studios shooting.
@@user-by9dc1ll4u💯
Only a King could land on that sample correctly. The sample is doing one thing and the drums is doing something else. Nash is a beast! I can't believe Biggie went to watch Casino before laying those vocals. Dying ain;t the shit but it's pleasant, kinda quiet, Watch my niggas bring the riot, Giving cats the opposite of diets, you gain 30 lbs when you die no lie!
I definitely agree with Cease Nobody at 24 now is doing what B.I did that's why he's my GOAT mannn i miss bigg i remember when ready to die came out me and my uncle walked to the inner harbor in Baltimore where we from in a snow blizzard and brought the ready to die cassette tape and had our boom box bumping it walking back home that's when sam goodies was still open and one of our favorite songs on there was the what with method Man. R.I.P BIGG WE MISS YOU
I miss going to that store, memories.
8 episodes is just too short to cover al the testimonials from the people he worked with and was close to from Puff, Jay-Z, Mary J, Kim, Faith, Nas, all the producers, 112, Ma$e, everyone. I guess we'll never know but thanx for revealing an aspect of who he was.
Rip Big. The goat 🐐
This Doc series is 🔥💯🔥
These BIG Iconic record interviews/breakdowns of the songs are incredible!! Angie Martinez.. We LOVE YOU for this! We've always loved you obviously, but this platform is incredible. While listening to Pusha T(from my town..Represent! used to live in his hood, real talk) describe Biggie's raps as a Collage of rhymes, i had to step back and think WOW..OMG that's exactly how I've always thought about his bars too. That & everything else he was sayin was the most apt description of Biggie's style and finesse. Raw talent, skills and WAYYY ahead of his time..in his early 20's!! R.I.P. to The Notorious B.I.G.🙌🙌❤ The greatest to ever do it. King of NY and Hip Hop.. Hands down my favorite too. We miss and love you brother❤
Pac never said Biggie set him up! He said Biggie knew who did it and didn’t tell him
It don't matter... Because Pac knew who he had beef w and who shot him before and directly after it happened. This crazy notion that somehow Big is guilty for not telling him what happened is undermined by the fact that Pac cut Big Stretch off for telling him Jimmy Henchman said "get ur money up before you can go to war w me" aka telling him what happened but pac called that "realaying info from his enemies 😂 smh. Keep it real... Pac thought he could scapegoat Big and make it look like he was handling business by getting at rappers meanwhile the dudes who touched him was sitting back laughing
@@futureflavors205 lie again
Thank you! I don’t know why New York niggaz keep saying that pac never open his mouth and said biggie set him up
@@futureflavors205 You wouldn't last on the streets at all with that way of thinking.
@@Antnee504
Fughhhh the streets lmao... No Adult is impressed by " the streets" in 2023 🤣
Nigga grow up lol
This was great. BIG was a once in a lifetime type of talent.
a pocket is when you rhyme inside the beat not over it not under it !
Name a song that’s in pockets?
Timeless 👑
We need Angie in the Hall of Fame💯 Thank you Ang for being you, for all your hard work, for everything 🙌🏾
Blessings 🙏🏿✊🏿🔥

Dope show. Well done Angy
We really do forget how young he was . We were all young listening to him talk grown man ish - REAL LIFE struggle ish! He painted such vivid pictures with words and his aura… and all the people involved where part of this pictures. What a loss !!!
I'm waiting for ya'll to do Niggaz Bleed. That is my shit! It plays out like a classic movie scene whenever I hear it.
Dreaming bout learjets and coups
Biggie smalls is the big fly guy..the flow and chrisama..
Shoulda pushed em dead off wipe the sweat off. Cause in this world I'm dead off squeeze lead off Benz sped off. Ain't no shook hands in brooklan army fatigues bring fatigue to enemies
Look man!
But it all started with a lie.
@@ceemines3326 what started with a lie? Not sure what u mean
Great episode ..
Big L, was a BEAST on the mic too, let's not forget.!
When you think about it he did all this with one album.
We didn’t hear Life After Death until he was gone.
The whole legend was built with one album and a ton of features. Amazing.
His first album only had 1 feature Method Man plus he wrote the entire Junior Mafia Album and also wrote 90 percent of Lil Kim first album
Clark Kent kinda slow lol he got the same hate in his heart for Pac like Flex does 😅😅 Pac never said Big set him up, he said Big knew who did it, and Pac did tell us who shot him in Quad on Against all odds, how about that 😅😅 emo
Facts
Somebody told kadafi who was Tupac's "cousin" that before he rapped about it on hit em up.. I wonder who that could be
This made me smile so B.I.G💯💪🏽
Thank u 4 doing this it the Best BIG IS DIFFERENT DONT NEED TO LISTEN TO ANYTHING ELSE FREE STYLE YALL KNOW
Not all heroes wear capes. This has been amazing
This track 😲 ! !
Can't wait 2 hear who is behind
this masterpiece 🙏🏼
the hitmen
Best way to spend Father’s Day. I’ve been in bed all day just seen 3 episodes might head to backyard with some wine and a cigar in a bit. “We’ll always Love Big Poppa” ✌🏽❤️
Great Series
THANKZ CLARK FOR SPEAKING HONESTLY !!!
The pocket is a term drummers use. There's the tempo which keeps time. The cadence is the arrangement of beats within the tempo. The pocket is the places of nuance within the tempo and cadence where the creativity of true players(instrumentalists, vocalists, rappers) live 😁 long live B.I.G.
Brilliantly said
The 🐐 of all 🐐's... Not up for discussion...🤔
DJ Clark Kent remembered he did the scratches big cap
Definitely seeing this episode gives me chills cause biggie was the #Goat
Biggie may have started producing movies and have one of the biggest rap labels and clothesline if he lived
Facts
Favorite song on that classic album , that CD 2 was the best for me...the CD 1 hard though.
Best flow of all time.
Under pressure, I lie for ya, die for ya
Ruger by the thigh for ya, right hand high for ya 🎤🎤.....c'mon Big, Kim bodied that verse😂
He was hating cuz she was talking about him 😂
@@diefreshmedia9539 I concur🤣
Miss biggie
They should've done every song. We need more !! Rip 🐐
The Illest!!!
Cease was sweating like a mf
Bro always sweating like a tweaker
I used to listen to Biggie Smalls when I was 88, and now I'm 19. He will forever be a classic.
What ⁉️🔥🔥
@@4amjuliefan he's obviously Benjamin button.
I miss biggie man
are doing meth instead of math??
Did you mean 8?
That's when love fell from the sky
This goes out to those that choose to use disrespectful views on the king of NY!!! There is nobody is rap today that can f with BI.
Rest in Power, Big.
#King #GOAT
Biggie the greatest worldwide' R I P biggie
No he's not
Why would you lie like that? He has one classic double album & one outdated weed plate album with about 4 good songs
Yessir Cease... Niggas Bleed is my favorite Biggie track which is crazy because I love EVERY song he did!!!!! Rip to my idol and greatest to EVER DO IT!!!!!
Push’s explanation was perfect
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Biggie died because of Puffy not Tupac
In that case Tupac died cause of Suge
Tupac was just blameless... A bystander just telling the world he was set up and robbed for no reason... Chased out of Marin City for no reason. Chased out of Milwaukee just minding his business. Beef with the Rollin 60s just strolling thru LA being a good Samaritan lol. Shot to death in Vegas just whistling Dixie.
😗...😅
💯💯💯💯💯
How??
Suge gassed Pac so they could sell records. We know who robbed Pac
Puff shot Biggie??😮
❤❤❤always love you Biggie ❤❤❤
THE BEST RAPPER EVER!
EVERY SINGLE DAY WITH YOU BIGGIE AND THAT WILL BE EVER,YOU ARE PART OF MY LIFE BRO, REST IN PEACE BIG BROTHER
