Excerpts from TIDAL's "A Toast To Biggie" Twitter Spaces conversation are continuing to come out, including Jay-Z speaking about his close friendship with Biggie.
During the conversation, Jay revealed that Biggie wanted the two of them to move down to Atlanta to buy neighboring mansions. Jay stated, "I'm looking like, Atlanta? I'm like, we're the hottest guys in New York City, like in the world. Why we going to Atlanta?"
This led to Jay-Z speaking about Biggie being ahead of his time, as he added, "You think about how influential Atlanta is today, you see how much of a visionary this guy was. He was fly on his own so it was a great time in fashion. Fashion was a big part of his sh*t, the way he looked."
This comes after a clip of Diddy telling Jay-Z that he filled the shoes of Biggie and 2Pac following their untimely deaths went viral. Diddy told Jay, "Bro, you filled them shoes though. You came in and we definitely give thanks. You definitely came, and I just know how much Big really looked up to Jay."
Diddy added, "They looked up to each other. That is crazy you had to step into the shoes of two people. That’s all it was was those two people. They had things on lock.
"Hov was coming, but it was like these two cats was just so big, and so to have all of that come on you and have that responsibility to keep this shit fly and keep the art of it going. I think Hov kept the art of it going and take where they was at and take it even higher."
