Lance "Un" Rivera on Getting Stabbed by Jay-Z, Business Partners with Biggie, 2Pac Run-In (Flashback)
In this 2023 full-length interview, executive music producer/film director Lance "Un" Rivera looks back on some of his fondest memories growing up with a large family in Brooklyn, New York, during the 70s and 80s. The long-time friend of the late Notorious B.I.G. explains that he misbehaved so badly that his mother placed him in a boys' home from the age of 12 to 16 years old. From there, he details the horrific dynamics involved with living in close quarters with some of the area's most hardened young criminals, which ultimately made him more prolific at being a criminal. Lance states that after evolving as a "stickup kid" well into his late teens before getting caught by law enforcement and sent to Rikers Island for two years, during which time his older brother built up his heroin empire in Brooklyn. As the interview continues, Lance talks about getting out of prison at the age of 21 and being groomed by his older brother as a drug dealer in his criminal empire. He then talks about living in the same neighborhood as Biggie, who was a close friend of his younger brother. Elsewhere in the Q&A session, the two men discuss Biggie's relationship with 2pac and the ascension of Junior Mafia and Lil Kim. When DJ Vlad asks him about Suge Knight's infamous speech during the Source Awards, Lance states that he wanted to physically hurt him. He then shares his thoughts on what led to the classic East Coast vs. West Coast beef. Later in the talk, Lance talks about Biggie's catalog and the large amount of features that he recorded for his passing. He also addresses the accusations Jay-Z made about him leaking his album, "Vol. 3...Life and Times of S. Carter", before talking about the infamous stabbing incident at Q-Tip's album release party. Lance clarified that Jay-Z was not the one who stabbed him.
