Begs the question, Will Beyonce go to hubby Jay-Z's Roc Nation management stable which includes Rihanna, Melanie Fiona, Wale, The Ting Tings and most recently with Brooklyn music artist Santigold?

Was Mr. Knowles beginning to get the cold shoulder from Beyonce back then? We can only wonder.

DJ Clark Kent On Notorious B.I.G. Memories



On the 14th anniversary of the death of the person some recall as the "greatest rapper of all time" we wanted to do something really special, so we met up with DJ Clark Kent who was The Notorious B.I.G's DJ and longtime friend from Brooklyn. In this clip Clark talks about what it was like working with Biggie to put together the Junior M.A.F.I.A. album, going with him on his first shows and trying to convince him that an up and coming rapper named Jay-Z was worth a listen.
