I did an internship at a studio on Long Island when I was in college back in 1998 and met Craig Mack. He actually spoke to me as a person rather than speaking down to me as some dumb intern like most celebrities do.
He lived across the street from my Aunt on 148th Southside. I spoke to him quite a bit. He lived in the house with the fire hydrant in front and would get so many tickets. The blue truck, anybody from Foch know what i am talking about.
I'm confused if his wish was for his family to tell people his cause of death was congestive heart failure, why are they now telling the public that it was HIV/AIDS? That's truly disgusting that even in death he is still being betrayed 😢💔
Nah! He got rich by serving the DEVIL that’s how! All this worldy music is deceitful! Read the Bible it says it plain as day. The enemy was in charge of music before he got kicked out of Heaven TRYING to take thenAlmighty Gods throne! WAKE UP PEOPLE !!! Save your souls Jesus is waiting patiently! 🙏 but Time is of the essence and inCover this message in the Blood of JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY!
Craig Mack has always been a heavy influence on me when it comes to rhymes, we both grew up in Long Island and he is 1 of the best lyricists to ever touch the mic. Rest In Power Craig Mack you are truly missed my brotha
when a man does not have Jesus Christ as his lord and saviour and choses Lucifer as his god lives a life of wickedness and Evil' Lover of Self' feels no conviction of his sinful ways' then the Lord will have no blessings on him for he walks cursed in Darkness.
Craig died because he had aids/ hiv. He stopped taking his medication. Ralph Stair a so called preacher told him to stop taking his medication because God was going to heal him.
@@SonzOfEnochwhy dont you learn who jesus is. All the names and appearances were changed in the Bible. There was no letter J until 1524. Look up cesare borgia...thats jesus christ. The Creator, who's name is YAHUAH, named His Son, YAHushua Ha'Machiach. YAHushua is from the tribe of YAHudah...which was changed to judah. Jesus aint no Abrahym or Hebrew name. YAHUAH and YAHushua's names are crucial. You will be asked by YAH what He and His Son's names are
I believe that about Craig Mac. Before Facebook. I believe there was tension between Craig Mac and Puffy. Craig Mac wasn't scared of him either! Rip Craig Mac ❤
Craig Mack was a dope rapper. Flava In The Ear is still a classic today and people still love that song. Puff Daddy screwed him over!!! MF Puff Daddy!!!
What a track! Brings back so many memories of listening to it on the way home from school. All their flows and lyrics were top - rest in peace to both Biggie and Craig Mack, you guys were both, and still are legends 🙏🏼🕊❤️
So you okay with the same demons destroying our people. And y’all question the Most High on what did we do to deserve this, case in point this. Excepting what these demons give y’all. Break the chains from your own oppressors.
Ty for sharing Craig’s story. It’s a very positive ending bc for all the pain he went thru bc of PDiddy he came to know the Lord. Uplifting story and lesson here.
Once you've heard the word and it's in you and you believed it and you stray it'll never leave you it will always convict you. You won't have peace until start living right
He probably hated Diddy because he tried to diddy him. And he said no. He knew what diddy was doing to young men and women. That probably upset him too
Craig was a humble Brutha. He seem to have always followed his heart and made righteous decisions, even when he was getting fucked around by people in the industry. Rest with Our Creator.
Craig was not referring to Diddy .. he was referring to ERIC B. For those who know, Eric b. Produced his 2nd album.. and years later they reconnected , and Eric b. Wasn’t so kind
My niece did an internship her last year of college with these fools! She hated it so much, she opted for a job with the Social Security office and been there ever since!
So are we to assume Diddy used Mack and Bigg against one another and these dudes fell into it unaware the Puppet Master was behind scenes mixing foolishness that would only help him steal from the artist??
I wouldn't say they were publicly against each other, they toured together even here in the UK. Craig mack was heavily against being fake, Puff wanted more Bravado and bluff from Mack to sell the next record, as opposed to Biggie. He got better and more promotion, fringe listeners to hip hop think flava in your ear remix is the only version. I played Biggie Ready to Die last year for the 1st time in over 20 years last year as a grown 47yr old man, I will never play it again, it serves no purpose. Project funk the world is in my personal top 10 Hip hop Albums. (If MC's can't get with the style that's going on then they need to sit down.)
The cult he joined is like 10min down the road from my house. I saw Mack a few times and talked to him in the barbershop 1day. He didn’t want to talk about music a lot but he was still cool as a fan. Very humble brotha who just wanted peace of mind and respect. He just wanted to be happy at that point in his life. And he appeared to be happy there but I kinda think he also knew Pastor Stair was a wicked man as well. I’m hoping he’s in paradise now or reincarnated as a lion or a kid with a super bright future. R.I.P. the guy🫡💯💯💯🕊️🕊️🕊️
Gene is gonna be the number one witness I also believe he should have spoken up sooner 😢😢to many people taken out. Coming from Bushwick in the early early 90 ppl were here one min. Gone the next just so sad. All for the love of money 😢
Craig Mack was clearly born and raised Christian. Watching him when he was younger, he acted like a kid from church. His sense of humor, the way he acted and his insistence on doing everything "his own way" only solidify it in my mind. His own way was that of God. It's why he clashed with Combs. Combs was fine with being evil. Mack was not. Of all of Mack's indulgences when he was with Bad Boy and in the industry in general, all of his choices show a young man tempted by a fast life trying to slow it down and control something that could never be controlled. He was someone that could see the wrong in what he was doing and change it without thinking about how it would affect those around him as if he was still a kid in church. Meanwhile, the people around him were the furthest thing from church going folk. It is obvious to me that when he went to the monastery it was to do penance. I theorize that he found out he had HIV and saw it as a result from his fall from the grace of God through the influences of the industry and making poor choices. What is so sad is that his bars were fire. He was a dope freestyler to boot. He never had the opportunity to truly show the world what he could do. Combs took that from him.
Someone, somewhere is currently shopping the idea to make the Bad Boy Movie! I can't wait to watch it. I hope it's as good as it's giving that it should be. RIP, Craig Mac. 🙏🏾
I worked at a ToysR Us that he would come into with his family from time to time. He was the coolest guy. Always friendly to us and it was so cool to have seen him. RIP, Mr. Craig.❤️
There was definitely something about him yknow, not many artists have that. Truly underrated. Rest in Peace Craig Mack, gone way too soon and will be missed 🙏🏼🕊❤️
I have wondered for a while now if Combs pitted Wallace and Mack (And potentially others, like Mase) against each other to write a song that would introduce the world to Bad Boy. Something explaining what's to come, and Mack won.
Lol it's funny how life is... When ur alive they don't wanna pay u but when ur dead whey want to go extra miles for the funeral... 😁Enemies will never want u to succeed....
Mack made #6 on the music chart while Big made #15. Mack wouldn't do Diddy parties, that's why he fell short, and diddy wouldn't put his music out. I wish that Biggie would have just been proud of himself for making the chart, and NOT BE JEALOUS, OR ENVIOUS OF CRAIG MACK. We as human beings have to learn how to focus on what our talents are, and what GOD wants us to accomplish. Stay focus on what we need to do, or are doing, and stop concentrating on everyone else around us is doing because thats a sign of weakness to me.
Wow that went over my head. So KM was going to sign w suge and at same time 2pac got killed yep puffy is all over this. Plz take him down cuz I don’t play about my 2 pac #rip Kraig Mack #rip 2pac ❤😢

Great story bro, I felt like I was there!!!
Yes he seemed like a nice guy. He was spiritual. I’m sure that he is with the Lord.

General life rules, avoid at all costs: prison, Diddy, and the Kardashians.
this is a golden comment cuz 💯
Yes, for the sake of your mental being 😅
For Hip hop rappers entertainers
Check, check annnnnd check
1000% AGREE
Thank you for telling Craig Mack’s story.
Thanks for watching
He deserved the truth to be heard of what badboy did to him
❤
EVERY artist on bad boy has a “tragic story” …except Puff
Until NOW.. The END is near for Fluff Daddy....
He is the tragedy
And french montana

It’s a damn shame how Puffy did Craig Mack. His voice and his flow was so dope. I definitely wanted him to blow up!
Yes his sound was definitely unique, I always wondered why I never heard anything else from him.
Yup, he **ked up Shine too! Smh.
For real
Diddy got rich by cheating all of his artists.
The Diddler
Nah! He got rich by serving the DEVIL that’s how! All this worldy music is deceitful! Read the Bible it says it plain as day.

Yeah, I've always enjoyed his lyrical tenacity and energy. I would have loved to hear a track with him and Busta Rhymes.
Crazy how he’s been almost erased. It’s just too sad.
Definitely ❤❤
Damn near everything Diddy touches dies or demise.

Craig died because he had aids/ hiv.
He stopped taking his medication. Ralph Stair a so called preacher told him to stop taking his medication because God was going to heal him.
I just told my daughter maybe be had something to do with Heavy D and new too. Some of his boys passed out of no where

I hope Diddy's karmatrain is moving more Swiftly Than A JET!! ✈️
This comment aged like fine wine!🍷
Time is up!
That Flava remix was the business
Oh my damn, that was the shit, especially when they played the video
What a track! Brings back so many memories of listening to it on the way home from school. All their flows and lyrics were top - rest in peace to both Biggie and Craig Mack, you guys were both, and still are legends 🙏🏼🕊❤️
That Trans was in the video 😂😂 flava in yo ear and big poppa the same trans
Everybody Diddy did business with would have had better lives had they never met him. Real ish!
He didn't let diddy diddy him
Diddy or Diddy not?
@@oscarsantillan5553 Hmmmmmmm???
He was a blood sacrifice for diddy n others
Craig died of AIDS .. some man out there did more than “Diddy” him 🤷🏿♂️
If diddy wanted to party, you got to tell him no
I think there was room for everyone to eat but puffy got in between
Diddy broke more talented musicians than we can ever imagine 😢
Yup, he could've been a dream builder instead he was a dream K!LLER...and likely just k!ller.
Craig Mack (RIP) is one of the characters that Diddy can't handle.
Was and couldn't 😉
Katt Williams is causing all of these things to come back up. RIP Craig Mack
So you okay with the same demons destroying our people. And y’all question the Most High on what did we do to deserve this, case in point this. Excepting what these demons give y’all. Break the chains from your own oppressors.

He did but Mack was a part of a cult that stole all his money. It was so sad
It seems regardless of the story he found his peace in life before death. Rest well Craig!
Best Mack lyric is from When god comes: We all need to be down on our knees beggin please lord help us shake this disease
In a few years they're going to make a movie about Diddy but in this one he's going to be known as the Diddler😂
Rest in peace Craig 🙏
Craig Mack afro hasn't aged at all.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Flavor in air part 1 and part 2 was super dope RIP CRAIG MACK 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Flava In Ya Ear (Remix) is still one of the best tracks in the history of hip hop. Even just the beat alone.
Diddy is evil
God bless him. He came to Christ before he passed. I’m sure he’s making it Heaven to be with his real Father. Rip Craig Mack
one thing that i mad at Biggie is that he hated Mack
Thats because puffy knew how to cause a rift between them both
Puffy was snd is evil
@@mogamatyusufmartin9171 yep, its called TRIANGULATION narcissists use it
Biggie and buddy's left guns in Tupac room, which had Tupac end up in jàil
Just shows you how people really treat you after putting them in position
Once you've heard the word and it's in you and you believed it and you stray it'll never leave you it will always convict you. You won't have peace until start living right
So true there's no way around it
1:43 - THATs LL Cool J
1:44 - THATs Rampage
u pay attention to detail #salute
Great observation! didn’t even see that
He probably hated Diddy because he tried to diddy him. And he said no. He knew what diddy was doing to young men and women. That probably upset him too
Rest in peace Craig🙏💙

Nobody knows this but you. Never heard what you're saying
Yes he was talking about Eric B …. Puff had no business dealings with him after 96
Yep
My niece did an internship her last year of college with these fools! She hated it so much, she opted for a job with the Social Security office and been there ever since!
