  • In part 2 Bonsu Thompson Reveals Biggie Threw Shots at LL Cool J on "Who Shot Ya?"
    Hip-hop has long been admired for its ability to draw listeners into a world that encompasses not only music, but the stories and experiences of those creating it. Few artists have managed to achieve the level of iconic status equivalent to the late Notorious B.I.G. - and his final album, Life After Death, left an undeniable impact on the genre. Recently, writer, producer, and Brooklynite Bonsu Thompson took on the task of further exploring the legacy of this album and its creator with his series, Iconic Records Season 1: Life After Death. Hosted by Angie Martinez, Thompson's series delves into the stories behind this masterpiece, bringing together perspectives from those closest to Biggie during the final 18 months of his life.
    With Bonsu Thompson's versatile background that extends from journalism to television production and digital media, it comes as no surprise that Iconic Records hits all the right spots. Delivering raw and introspective analysis on the landmark album, the series invites a host of guests to contribute their personal accounts of not only Christopher "Biggie" Wallace's artistic process but the ruthless New York rap scene that helped shape life on the East Coast during its golden era.
    Over the course of the series, Angie Martinez spends five nights in conversation with some of the closest figures in Biggie's life, each sharing the untold stories that changed hip-hop forever. They recount the rise of the Notorious B.I.G., the East-West rivalry that nearly sparked conflicts, and the fallout following the rapper's tragic death, which only cemented his legacy.
    What sets Iconic Records apart from other documentaries exploring hip-hop lore is Bonsu Thompson's strong influence. Behind the scenes, Thompson was hands-on and allowed guests to open up and speak honestly, providing listeners a rare glimpse into the life of hip-hop's biggest names. With a combination of knowledge and expertise, he was able to curate a series that caters to the educated fan wanting an in-depth look at the genre's evolution.
    Moreover, the Iconic Records Season 1: Life After Death series is more than just insights into Biggie's life. It also illuminates the unique perspectives of his peers, each giving voice to the trials and tribulations of the times. Thompson brings fresh insight into the iconic moments of the East Coast rap scene, resulting in an extraordinary behind-the-scenes portrayal of the music industry, which captures the momentous energy of a transformative moment in the genre.
    Bonsu Thompson's incredibly detailed storytelling skills capture the essence of Biggie's Life After Death, highlighting his artistry and the East Coast rap scene at large. While there are several documentaries devoted to the rapper, Iconic Records Season 1: Life After Death stands out in its ability to bring listeners into the world of Christopher Wallace, showcasing the brilliance of his work alongside the inspiration behind it. Thompson has created a platform for sharing history and culture, allowing listeners to learn something new about icons they thought they knew well. Take the time to listen to Iconic Records Season 1: Life After Death on the Roku Channel, or any other platform, and immerse yourself in the world of Biggie.

    LL said asked Biggie why he smokes so much when he writes and when Biggie responded LL said he laughed. Biggie then goes in the booth and what does he say the “old school” needed to learn tho? That he “burn baby burn like disco inferno”… most likely it was a shot at LL. Next, LL gets a beat (originally made for Biggie) by the Trackmasters and makes “I shot ya” in response to Big’s song. I don’t usually talk about these things, but I wanted to help ya’ll out.

I Shot Ya had LL's verse and a few references by others to Tupac lyrics. -> I'm here to make a dollar out of 15 cents and... -> I'd rather be feared than loved, bc the fear lasts longer (Machiavelli reference) -> you hear me friend?

    Sway needs to release the rest of that footage on The Wake Up Show. They’ve kept that in the can so long but we need to see ALL OF IT!! The only thing I can believe is that Biggie never saw the full Hypnotize video even tho it’s absolutely CRAZY to me that the video wasn’t out circulating at the time of his death. The album was coming out in a little over TWO WEEKS!! I’m curious with the idea that Biggie didn’t hear the project in its entirety. He had listening parties. Days after his death I doubt they hopped in the studio to do anything. These albums still have to be pressed up and shipped out so what work could possibly be done in 16 days? I think they just said that cause they know none of us were there so they can just say anything. I would question how true it is.

    A lot of people who are younger or may not have really been following the music or had sources close to the Rap game may not understand why LL Cool J was just randomly at the recording session with Biggie…yes he was on the “Flava In Your Ear” remix but remember that Diddy was a protege of Andre Harrell ( RIP) because he got his start at Uptown Records and Andre Harrell was not only friends with Russell Simmons who was of course, the co founder of Def Jam Recordings with Rick Rubin but Andre Harrell was a former A& R director who did some producing and songwriting part time…he was also 1/2 of Jeckyll & Hyde who was managed by Rush Management…fast forward…1995, LL Cool J ..the 1st solo male rapper to go platinum and to win a Grammy during the late 80’s but at that time, he was in a career slump because gangsta rap and backpack rap was big on the East Coast..he was viewed as a commercial rapper who made music for mainly women…so he might have kind of tried to throw his weight around because Diddy was supposed to co executive produce LL’s next album but ultimately Biggie did give LL his props on “ I Got A Story To Tell” with the “You Know the epilogue by James Todd” line .
