Video After The Jump
You have to respect Lil Cease, yes he came in the game riding Notorious B.I.G's coattails, but the Brooklyn rapper has been able to hang in a tough industry since B.I.G's passing.
With that being said I have to take exception with a few of the things Cease said in an interview with MTV.
There will never be another B.I.G or Lil Kim and you would think Cease of all people would know that. But apparently he doesn't as he compares Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj to the late great mc and his female sidekick.
"It's a good thing to me," Cease said of the comparisons to Biggie. "If people are taking steps into people's styles like that, that's paying homage. I definitely looked at Nicki and was like, 'That's that Kim remedy.' I think Ross is nice. To see him be co-signed by Diddy, it gives you that feel. I like it. It's just showing the influence we had on people. It shows the influence Kim had on females. It shows the influence Big had. I don't look at it like they're trying to take [Big and Kim's] spot or trying to be them. Big paved the way for Ross, and Kim paved the way for females that's hot now."
I expect wild exaggerations and bragging from Puffy, especially when it comes to artists he's promoting. However hearing Lil Cease mention B.I.G. and Ross in the same breath really surprised me and he wasn't done.
"As far as with Ross, it's the delivery," Cease said. "He's lyrically hands-on. Just his whole swag, to me, he's just the dude. That big black dude. Every time I see him, he gives the feel of just B.I. Just his whole swag too. He's got that confidence that B.I. had. B.I. was real confident. No matter how he looked, he would say it in rhymes: 'Fat, black and ugly as ever.' That's one of the most quoted lines. It didn't do nothing for him but make him a better person. Ross got that same swag. He knows he's dope. Then when you getting the best of the best co-signing you, it makes you go harder. I feel he made three dope albums. He can get that Big effect where he's consistent with it. A lot of his material is just dope music. You can't knock him at the end of the day. Whether you want to compare him to Big or not, he's a dope artist."
All I have left to say is kids just say no to drugs.
