Laz Alonzo Has A Hilarious T.I. & Tiny Story

Spotted on Crunktastical…take it away Laz…
“When this guy gets out of jail I’m going to be in trouble…
One of my buddies had a wedding down in Jamaica. I love destination weddings. When I decide to get married one of these days it’s going to be away somewhere people can kick it for a few days before the wedding. We were all a big happy family by the time the wedding happened. On the wedding night the couple went off to do their little honeymoon thing and we decided to have a house party. We had these villas with the music going and a pool party.
All of a sudden we see some hands and some feet crawling over our back wall! The first thing we were thinking was, “We’re in trouble. The Jamaicans are coming to get us.” You’d be surprised at how a lot of these guys that act all hard were looking for the exits. But we noticed that the hands and feet were a lot lighter “complected” than the typical Jamaicans we’ve seen on the island while we were there.
Sure enough when they poked their heads up it was T.I., Tiny his wife and their body guard who climbed over our wall. They were also vacationing at the same resort and they just wanted to join the party.
Now you are T.I. ! Had you knocked on the door and said “Hey Laz we want to party with ya’ll” there was no way in the world I was going to turn down T.I. But the fact that they made their grand entrance we had to give them a round of applause. That was my first time meeting T.I.”

Revisiting…Notorious B.I.G./Big Kap Incident While Performing In Sacramento (From 1995)

From Fader:

You know what made Big Kap, a great DJ? A major fuck up. Or at least that’s how he tells it. In the summer of ’95 Kap headed out to San Francisco with Biggie and some of Junior M.A.F.I.A to perform at the annual KMEL Summer Jam. But what was set to be a hugely successful headlining show, turned out to be a challenge in light of the extreme heat. Kap blames it on the heat, and Big blamed it on Kap. In our exclusive interview (F73), Kap tells the story:


“I’m throwing the records and it’s like, alright, cool we’re going through it. But it’s so hot the heat is actually warping the records. The records is melting! So the records are warping right before me and it’s just like woooommp. And Big looking at me. We had this thing like, every time you make a mistake on stage during the show, you get fined $100. So during the show, Big heard the first womp, and he was like ‘A hundred dollars!’ The record is crumbling up right before my eyes. Then it’s getting bad and Cease is like, ‘Two hundred dollars!’ And then Big, he just stopped everything and was like, ‘Yo! What the fuck is going on?!’ I’m looking and my records look like a piece of bacon back there. Big is tight! He had a water bottle, he threw the water bottle at me, and just walks off the stage.”
According to Kap, everyone abandoned him after the show—he even had to take a cab back to the hotel alone with all his DJ equipment. But it turns out that, in the end, Big wasn’t too angry:

“So, I go to Big’s room, and I knock on the door. And then he opens the door laughing! And he got a bunch of girls in the room! I’m bashful and I’m like, Yo, I’m sorry, I apologize for all that. He was like, “Man, I knew! I saw those records. I knew it was the sun and all that. But I couldn’t let them think that it was me out there messing up!”
