B.I.G. Producer, 'Easy Mo Bee,' On Being LEFT OUT Of "NOTORIOUS".... I Thought That Was Strange

Easy Mo Bee is a Grammy winning producer who crafted beats for nearly
half of the Notorious B.I.G's debut album, Ready to Die. He was
Notorious B.I.G.'s first official producer.

"I am very integral to Big's very beginnings. I'm the first producer
that he went into the studio with," he says. "When we recorded, 'Party
and Bullshit' and the 'Ready To Die' song those were his first times
going into a real studio."

But Mo Bee's relationship with Sean "Diddy" Combs, then known as Puffy,
hit a rough patch when he questioned the production credits on Craig
Mack's "Flava In Ya Ear" Remix.

"[It] came out and on the record it was printed, 'Remix by Sean "Puffy"
Combs, Chucky Thompson and Easy Mo Bee.' So I took the record up to the
label and I asked [Puffy], 'What's this?' I was like, 'Yo don't do that
no more.'"

That's when Easy Mo Bee stopped getting calls to produce for Bad Boy
artists. "Sometimes when I think about it maybe he didn't like that I
approached him about that in that way, " he admitted.

Though he hadn't seen or worked with Combs in years when Easy Mo Bee
got word that a movie was being made about Biggie's life he wanted to
be involved. Working through a consultant, Mo Bee reached an agreement
with the producers of Notorious to score parts of the film.

He signed a contract and was paid in full but Easy Mo Bee was never
called in to work. "How do you do a contract with someone, pay them
some good money, but the guy don't actually get to do the work?" he
asked. "I thought that was strange."

Easy Mo Bee is hoping speaking out now may get him some answers about
the film and about his past with Sean "Diddy" Combs and Bad Boy
Records. "By me doing these interviews, it may stir something up and it
may spark him to want to talk to me," he said. "You know why? It's
because I need my heart to be cleared and free. This is something
that's always been on my heart."

Even though he didn't get to lay down the score for Notorious, which
will hit theaters January, 16, 2009, Easy knows that he'll always go
down in BIGGIE's history.
