Back in the day on MTV Jon Stewart had an hour long talk show in the 90s similar to the David Lettermans, Jay Lenos, etc but the show didn’t last very long. Although Jon Stewart’s show didn’t last long on MTV, he’s doing very well in 2011 with The Daily Show. In this rare footage from Biggie’s performance on the show he performs the So So Def Remix to “Big Poppa” along with Lil Cease & Puffy backed by a live back. I love it when vintage clips like these surface.

Classic Clips: Biggie Throws Water Bottle At Big Kap During Summer Jam Show In California (Video)
May 5, 2011
From Fader Magazine’s Icon Issue featuring Biggie:
“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” – Big Kap
