DJ Clue Recalls Biggie Threatening To Kill Him Over Song Leak

DJ Clue Recalls When Biggie Threatened To Kill Him For Leaking His Song

DJ Clue recalled the time The Notorious B.I.G. threatened to “kill” him after he leaked one of his biggest songs.

Clue leaked a demo of the original version of “One More Chance” on one of his early mixtapes and Biggie was not happy.

“I got my hands on a Biggie record, it was a demo,” Clue said. “I didn’t really know everyone at Bad Boy yet. I put it on a mixtape, Biggie got mad. He went on Hot 97 and said, ‘Yo Clue, when I find you, I’m gonna kill you’ or whatever he said…on live radio,” he said.

He continued: “You wanna know what happened? I got on the phone and said, ‘Yo, we gotta do a diss record, come on!’ I was young, we was rolling around on a different type of time. I didn’t know who they were and they didn’t know who I was.”

He said he managed to avoid any physical repercussions because he was mostly unknown at the time.

Rooted in East Coast hip hop and particularly gangsta rap, Biggie is cited in various media lists as one of the greatest rappers of all time. Wallace became known for his distinctive laid-back lyrical delivery, offsetting the lyrics’ often grim content.

His music was often semi-autobiographical, telling of hardship and criminality, but also of debauchery and celebration.
