In an exclusive sit-down with XXL Magazine, veteran Shaolin Wu-Tang Clansman, Ghostface Killah, revealed the impact that the death of The Notorious B.I.G. had on his personal life. 

While the Ghost, and partner-in-crime Raekwon, threw subliminal jabs at Big on the classic Only Built For Cuban Linx... LP, Tony Starks admits that they were only fueled by youthful boisterousness and not genuine dislike for the Bad Boy star. 

Ghost also detailed meeting Big the night before his fateful shooting and expressed the desire to work with him. 

"The next day... They got to him," Ghost said of the still-unsolved drive-by shooting, "And I was more hurt over his death than Tupac's death because it just felt like, we're from the same city and... I don't know. Maybe because I didn't see 'Pac that much or whatever the case may be, or get to hear a lot of his music like that. Don't get me wrong, I love his music, but I wasn't hearing it like B.I.G. And Meth did the song with Biggie." 

"It was just a lot of shit, but it hurt me though. It hurt me like, 'Oh shit.' I was mad, too. I was mad. I was really really upset the way it happened and all that."
