Mister Cee Details Golden Era Beefs & Biggie's Career

Mister Cee sat down with Rosenberg Radio this week to talk Golden Era Hip Hop.

First, he offered his perspective on the various artists he’s dealt with over the years, including Big Daddy Kane and Rakim. “They always had their back and forth, little sublims in records, and stuff like that,” he says. “The last verse of the original version of ‘Wrath of Kane’ was definitely at Rakim, and then at the last minute Kane decided to take the verse out.”

Mister Cee also discussed a potential beef between Big Daddy Kane and LL Cool J. “LL Cool J did a skit on one of his albums, it might’ve been the Bad album, he did a skit where he said, ‘The A, the B, the C, the D, the E the F, the G,'” Mister Cee says. “He went through the whole alphabet doing the same rhyme pattern that Kane used to rap, and at the end of Z he was like, ‘That’s bullshit to me.’ Kane went up to L about it and L said, ‘No, I’m not dissing you, I’m dissing cats that sound like you.'”

Another artist Mister Cee worked with extensively was The Notorious B.I.G. The deejay reflected on Biggie’s rivalry with Tupac. “At one point they really kind of had a dislike for each other, but it kinda really started off from the streets really wanting Big and Pac thing to happen,” he says, “then the artists themselves kinda added fuel to the fire.”
