A lot of people dont even know who this dude is but for the ones like myself who does definitely clicked on this with the quickness...Hip hop heads been waiting for this interview forever...

He's probably one of the most influential and important figures in Hip Hop HISTORY, without ever feeling the need to be seen. I'm in awe of this man.. He's a God to the entire culture.. SALUTE

I went to school with Kareem. Always cool as he'll. We would snap all day in JHS 43. Played ball at lunch in the back of Grant projects. we shopped at the original KP Kong on 125th in Amsterdam. Takes me back. good to see my home free. Much success bro.

Whatever Biggs is selling people are going to buy because of his history and he’s easy going he’s gives you the old stories with no problem because he knows that’s what the people want to hear

the energy of Jay Biggs and Dam; I mean you can totally see how they made history man. 3 Totally different dudes but all so ambitious and wise

Biggs look like a brolic Jay Williams

Jay had a thorough squad behind him.

This is the most legendary interview of 2016, and one of the most legendary interviews in hip hop history. Its like interviewing a ghost. I respect a man this articulate and intelligent and could stay away from public eye. My first time to see Biggs talking for more than a few seconds. Welcome home Great one!

This was a great interview, Salute to you guys Play it and definitely Kareem "Biggs" Burke.

I love listening to stories that happen that people didnt know about, i've always wanted to hear biggs talk and this interview was everything...thanks

This has to be one of the best and respectful interviews I have heard in a long time. The interviewers came prepared and Biggs is so relaxed because they made him feel comfortable in the studio.

an actual interview, with questions that matter. good job.

to see them all on the same stage, while Jay performs Reasonable Doubt, would be Hip Hop History!

Instant Classic interview...just when u thought you heard all the Roc stories...Biggs drops more ...he dropped major GEMS

My first time hearing Biggs speak like many others. He seems very humble, has the same insight, smartness and influence in business like Dame Dash. I see why Roc A Fella did so well!

50:56 The Roc was definitely unique and has a special place in people's hearts because there was a lotta good brothas--seen and unseen--involved that actually wanted to do well by everyone, not just bring one or two dudes up and elevate one name. They elevated the level of sophistication to the game and instead of just wearing suits, debrys, pinky rings and smoking cigars to look like the gangsters in the movies that Black boys grew up idolizing, they went into the corporate with street conversation and forced their way into industries traditionally reserved for the privileged and non-Black. The took their respect in fashion by refusing to allow anyone to box them into Urban shreds, they were like, "Nah we wanna do cut and sow!" they wanted their shit respected on that same professional level and for folks to not get it twisted that just because they were wearing oversized jerseys, jeans, and lids turned to the side doesn't mean they are not every bit the executive and CEO material that the most buttoned-up Fortune 25 and Fortune 10 CEOs are.

Growing up, on Jay-Z's album's I remember constantly seeing: Kareem "Biggs" Burke. Good to finally put a face to the name almost 20 years after.

Biggs seem like a smart and chill dude. Glad he's doing his thing.
