Biggie was on his second full-length album and he was on the top of the rap & pop charts. Bad Boy was dropping singles left and right yet Big wasn't happy.
The beef with Tupac had consumed him and Pac had died a few months before the interview. Big's heart was heavy and like he said, he wasn't "having fun anymore".
How many of us have reached that point?
I sure there are some current mainstream Hiphop artist our there now who has just been overwhelmed by this business of music. It's not easy and you have to pay a lot of dues to be successful in business. It's cool to be the freestyle champ but on the business side, you may suffer if you don't do all or most of what it comes with.
So Biggie was stressed out...alot!!! Rap artists and Hiphop emcees today can learn alot from what he was going through and what he was feeling at the time.
Getting bling should not be your sole objective: being successful and financial planning for the future need to be number 1 and 2 on your list because money may not alway be there. Like Big Boi said, "Can't gamble on that dope money. Might not always be sufficient."
At the same time, don't get so far fome the Kulture that you forget why you loved it in the first place. Money is good but there a alot more things that are better. Holla at cha...
