These girls were dancin’ for him, and he was just sittin’ there, not even movin’ his cane. “I was throwin’ paper at him, tellin’ him how much I liked his record. “I was sitting across from Biggie for most of the night,” said Def Jam president and CEO Russell Simmons. Everybody was dancin’ together artists hugging each other, congratulating each other on the awards they won.” Shortly before midnight, the DJ blew up the spot with Big’s new single, “Hypnotize.” “Nothing but celebs there, people having a good time. “The party was a nice scene, especially after the stress of the Soul Train Awards,” said Kevin Kim, security guard for Big’s ex-wife, Faith Evans. He looked confident and relaxed, a long black cane supporting the slight limp he’d acquired in an automobile accident six months before. When Biggie showed up at the Peterson Automotive Museum in L.A.’s Mid-Wilshire district Saturday night for a party cosponsored by VIBE, Qwest Records, and Tanqueray, he was dipped in a black suede shirt, a gold chain with a Jesus pendant, and clear-framed wraparound shades. The day before, he’d presented a Soul Train Award to Toni Braxton before spending the evening in his plush hotel suite, watching the awards show on TV, and talking with a journalist about how far he’d come in his 24 years. The big man had spent much of the day with his agent, Phil Casey, discussing his upcoming tour with Dru Hill, BLACKstreet, and Heavy D. Saturday, and he was chillin’ like a star. Our deepest condolences go out to the Wallace family, Bad Boy Entertainment, and all of Biggie’s fans.Įverything was looking good for Biggie Smalls on March 8.

Let us all pray that this is the last time we at VIBE have to cover the murders of our music’s heroes. We have passed the point for words now is the time for action and change. If we simply allow things to stay as they are, if we’re afraid to take a moral stand, there will be blood on all of our hands. We all need to come together and take responsibility for ourselves and for each other before more lives are lost. There’s a wonderful diversity of individuals in the hip hop community, and in that diversity lies strength. The juxtaposition of these grim stories-Biggie’s murder, Suge’s incarceration-with the remnants of our Sex issue may seem strange, but it’s no stranger than the situation we find ourselves in: We set out to write about sex but ended up, once again, having to confront death. As soon as we heard about Biggie, we knew that this issue’s cover had to change. But as long as our icons keep dying in bursts of gunfire, that kind of fun needs to take a back seat so we can begin rebuilding. It’s our intention that VIBE cover the whole spectrum of urban culture, including the fun stuff. This month we had planned a special Sex issue, an exploration of matters of the heart and the flesh.
