112 & Total on joint tour, Biggie & Bad Boy stories, Diddy fallout & modern R&B

Fat Joe and Jadakiss are joined by legendary R&B groups 112 and Total, who have teamed up for a joint tour to celebrate 30 years of 112. Joe and Jada ask about their heyday coming up in the ’90s on Bad Boy Records, their experiences working alongside The Notorious B.I.G., what the fallout has been like for them after the allegations, lawsuit, and conviction of Sean “Diddy” Combs, and how they were influenced by other R&B and soul icons like New Edition, Mary J. Blige, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, and more. They also discuss Jada being with Biggie Smalls when he first heard Tupac’s “Hit ‘Em Up” diss record, how social media has affected modern relationships, and how hip hop and R&B treats its older legends compared to genres like rock music.
