It just looks bad because Diddy and big started getting famous then big he got killed and diddy got rich while bad boy fell apart. That’s why people are saying Diddy got big killed, Plus it was a little suspect that 2Pac got robbed in the lobby of the recording studio in New York. Tupac blamed bad boy for setting him up which started the east west beef

He made it seem as BIG was robbing Puff for his groups, but to me it does NOT seem that way. BIG started understanding the game and learning about what he did with his rights, just became a boss in his own right. There's no harm or foul for doing that. He was still doing the work he needed for Bad Boy. While still being a boss elsewhere. Only a person real envious, or a snake would see that as robbing them. This is especially if it wasn't contractual between them that BIG could not do that. It is sad that the talented BIG became a sacrificial lamb for someone else's fame and fortune.. Rest in Power

He never said that. He said that Biggie was writing his daughter's name on the publishing recordings(he didn't mention his daughter here but in several other videos he says it was his daughter's name). So, Puffy couldn't make money off the publishing. Biggie realized that Puffy was stealing money from him and that his publishing/marketing was worth way more than his physical album sales were. Gene just talks sometimes and strings sentences together. It sounded like he was saying that Biggie was robbing Puff by taking his groups to another label but it's how he strung the sentences together. Biggie never even signed any of his groups to Bad Boy records at all to begin with.

True, Big was hotter than Craig Mack by 96, but the Flava in Ya Ear Remix dropped on July 26, 1994. Craig Mack was definitely hotter than Big in 94. Ready to Die dropped on September 13, 1994, and Big being on the Flava in Ya Ear Remix helped create buzz for the release of Ready to Die, but that still wasn't enough. Gene is right about Ready to Die not really moving any units at the top of its release. It really didn't gain any real traction until the summer 95 with the release of the One More Chance Remix (July 6, 1995). Once that joint dropped people started rushing out to pick up that single along with the album. That single alone moved millions of units. He dropped other singles before the One More Chance Remix, but that is the single that really set the tone for Ready to Die album sales, and is his biggest single to date. I was in the Navy at the time, so I kept track of all these dates because I was always buying music.

Craig's album was the one that was tanking & didn't receive the major push because I don't think Puff knew how to market him. Big had the panache that Craig didn't. To be clear, Flavor in Your Ear, put Bad Boy on the map. Puff is the devil.

Even as a child life after death felt dark and every song Diddy ad libbed on there was sinister. Biggie wasn't always that dark
I always thought it was weird that Biggie started his label OUTSIDE of Bad Boy, and whenever he spoke of Puff, it was always about business, not personal like the way he spoke of other people like Jay-Z.

He made it seem as BIG was robbing Puff for his groups, but to me it does NOT seem that way. BIG started understanding the game and learning about what he did with his rights, just became a boss in his own right. There's no harm or foul for doing that. He was still doing the work he needed for Bad Boy. While still being a boss elsewhere. Only a person real envious, or a snake would see that as robbing them. This is especially if it wasn't contractual between them that BIG could not do that. It is sad that the talented BIG became a sacrificial lamb for someone else's fame and fortune.. Rest in Power

He never said that. He said that Biggie was writing his daughter's name on the publishing recordings(he didn't mention his daughter here but in several other videos he says it was his daughter's name). So, Puffy couldn't make money off the publishing. Biggie realized that Puffy was stealing money from him and that his publishing/marketing was worth way more than his physical album sales were. Gene just talks sometimes and strings sentences together. It sounded like he was saying that Biggie was robbing Puff by taking his groups to another label but it's how he strung the sentences together. Biggie never even signed any of his groups to Bad Boy records at all to begin with.

True, Big was hotter than Craig Mack by 96, but the Flava in Ya Ear Remix dropped on July 26, 1994. Craig Mack was definitely hotter than Big in 94. Ready to Die dropped on September 13, 1994, and Big being on the Flava in Ya Ear Remix helped create buzz for the release of Ready to Die, but that still wasn't enough. Gene is right about Ready to Die not really moving any units at the top of its release. It really didn't gain any real traction until the summer 95 with the release of the One More Chance Remix (July 6, 1995). Once that joint dropped people started rushing out to pick up that single along with the album. That single alone moved millions of units. He dropped other singles before the One More Chance Remix, but that is the single that really set the tone for Ready to Die album sales, and is his biggest single to date. I was in the Navy at the time, so I kept track of all these dates because I was always buying music.

Is it Gene's birthday?! 🤣 Happy belated King 🤴🏿
Grab is the truth always telling straight facts ❤️❤️
I could have sworn Puff was supposed to be the first artist signed to Big’s new label.

I’m really glad Gene getting more exposure. I was so mad when I found Raw Deal in 2020, I’m hoping more people figure out how foul Diddy is and all the blood on his hands, mainly Big. He’s living off other peoples success and it’s trash. I really hate that Big died over Diddy being a piece of shit.
Boy I tell ya that death row east would’ve been something serious .
