“No I.D. told Cole, ‘there’s a great idea in everything you start…’ I took that and I realized that there’s a great idea in every idea you get… If I get an idea, it might not be there yet, but that might be the beginning of something great.”

He elaborates, by saying…

“When you build that confidence, you start looking at it like… ‘well, that idea is not there but let’s see how we can take it there. There’s a reason why this thing came up. There’s a way I felt strongly about this.’”

Love to Swaggatory.

Last year marked 15 years since Biggie’s been gone and a show in Brooklyn was held in his name. In our convo with him, he opened up as to why he thought Lil Kim didn’t show up to the party, and who Biggie woulda loved to work with if he was still alive.

Why was last night important to you?
Everyone was there to celebrate the life of Biggie on his 15th anniversary. We had a bunch of people there to pay tribute to his legacy. It was a place where we were all able to come together and celebrate his music and life.

Who was there?
Faith, his first child’s mother, his kids, Junior M.A.F.I.A, Red Man, Foxy Brown, Maino, Uncle Murda, AZ, Papoose, Fred the Godson, and of course Sway. The line was so long to go in. When we pulled up and saw that line, it totally erased the pain. Seeing everyone there, it just put you in automatic celebration mode.

What about Lil Kim?
We invited her, but I guess she chose to not come. There was no problem with her. We always show love. Maybe it was just schedule confliction. I don’t know, but we did invite her.

Who came on stage?
Faith got on to talk about Biggie, Maino did 4 of his records, Uncle Murda did 3 of his, we all jumped on stage together, Papoose did his favorite Biggie record, then Junior Mafia did Playas Anthem and Get Money – then we closed the show with my Letter to Big. We came together for B.I.G. This is the type of stuff he would have wanted. It was definitely something great.

What did Maino and Uncle Murda say to you?
We didn’t really get to talk because we all got on stage at the same time. It was all about B.I.G though. It wasn’t about us. It was all about biggie. It was a Brooklyn thing.

How were Biggie’s kids and their mother’s getting along?
They were all cool. People don’t get that Biggie’s children’s mothers [Faith Evans and Jan] are super cool. They’re grown and mature. They put their differences and issues aside. It was all about Biggie.

If Biggie could have witnessed last night, what would he have said?
He woulda loved it. Big up to Brooklyn. The way it went down was perfect. We celebrated music and life. No scuffles. No fights. All good vibes. This was one of the best tributes I’ve ever been to.

If Biggie were alive, what new artist do you think he’d want to work with?
Definitely Eminem. Definitely.

What about you? What new artists would you want to work with?
I like Tyga, I like Drake of course. I like Ross. I like Eminem. I’m just a fan of music and hip hop. Anything that puts a ring in my ear, is what I like. Any artist that wants to work with me, I’d work with. I just like music.

What’s next for Lil Cease?
We’re working on a Junior M.A.F.I.A album and dropping it on Biggie’s birthday, May 21st. My album Truth Be Told is 95% done and will be dropping next month. Also, I have a work-out Hard Body Fitness company. My second fitness DVD for women is dropping next month on HardBodyMusic.com. Follow | @LilCease

Awww love is in the air. Tell us what you think of the producer/rapper’s hot new video!

The track Lost Ones which was released in December 2006 and produced by Dr. Dre and Mark Batson, had many inspirational lyrical quotes for all of us trying to make it by pursuing our divine gifts & talents. Whether it is singing, acting, composing, etc. The truth is everyone has a story.

They are called “trials & tribulations.” At the end of the day though, there is always light at the end of that tunnel. It’s called success. In order to achieve success, you have to be willing to put yourself into the universe. Be all that you can be. And one of our favorite motivational rappers Mr. Carter speaks all about it through this hit.

The sensational Hip-Hop mogul, Jay-Z, like most of us had his ups and downs on the road to his now massive success life. Betrayals from close ones, loss of family and friends — give it up for Biggie today (Happy Birthday Christopher Wallace). Another motivational rapper and also one of Jay-Z’s closest friends. Let’s not forget how he speaks on his relationship with his now wife, Mrs. Carter, aka Beyonce. When trying to focus on your career you should not hold anyone back from theirs. When it’s meant to be you’ll be sure of it like the Carters.

Lost Ones contains plenty of knowledge in the lyrical content for both men and women. Below are 4 quotes for all our men grinding for themselves and their families, and 4 quotes for the ladies getting their own and standing their ground too. SALUTE.

MEN:

1. Hov have to get the shallow shit up off him
2. Time don’t go back, it go forward. Can’t run from the pain, go towards it
3. Place any burden on me, but please, not that lord
4. Lose one, let go to get one
Left one, lose some to win some
STORY OF A CHAMPION, sorry I’m a champion
You lost one (Chrisette Michelle hook)

WOMEN:

1. So breathe, mami, it’s deserved
You’ve been put on this earth to be
All you can be, like the reserves ← (Ladies take notice)
2. The time’s now for her
In time she’ll mature
And maybe we, can be, we, again like we were
3. But she loves her work more than she does me
And honestly, at twenty-three
I would probably love my work more than I did she

Today, Polyester The Saint released a new track I Win featuring Freddie Gibbs. His newest project POP will be released on May 29.
