Bill Bellamy described a haunting memory from the night iconic rapper Biggie Smalls was tragically killed in Los Angeles. Bellamy spoke vividly about the shocking realization that the escalating animosity in the hip-hop community, sparked in part by venomous tracks like 'Hit 'Em Up,' would have deadly consequences. Bellamy was supposed to attend the Soul Train party where Biggie was present but was delayed. Upon arriving, he witnessed Da Brat in tears, unable to comprehend the violence that had just unfolded. Bellamy also reflected on the profound impact of losing both Tupac and Biggie within a year. He emphasized how their deaths left an indelible mark on hip-hop, a loss from which the genre has never fully recovered.
