Biggie's "I Got A Story To Tell" Was About Anthony Mason?

[TheyCallMeBe]

In Biggie Smalls’s 1997 hit “I Got A Story to Tell,” the Brooklyn rapper mentions having, uh, relations with a female acquaintance of a New York Knicks player.

The mystery of who the player Biggie was rapping about has been unsolved for years, despite the efforts of Dan Le Batard and Bomani Jones on their show Highly Questionable. Was Biggie making it all up? Probably not—John Starks admitted it was true on the ESPN show years ago.

Well, it appears Le Batard and Jones’ years-long investigation may finally be over.

Fat Joe revealed the identity of the player on Monday, saying the song was about Knicks legend Anthony Mason.

Bomani Jones were discussing this with Fat Joe earlier.

Speaking of Joe he kept it 100 on his encounter with Roy Jones Jr over that Lean Back line.

 

[Mello Mello]

Didn't we solve this earlier this year? I thought everyone knew now.

When that Desert pointed at you, it's best you back down or get laid down

 

[xxironxx]

Joe also emphasized rappers exaggerate in they rhymes

 

[The Plutonian]

Summarize it somebody, I missed it. What was the deal?

Most of these dudes have no idea what that recoil is about.

Anyways, who was Mason's chick at the time?

Edit: quick search brought up Luz Whitney

I swear to god I'm tryna find her cousin but you ain't know that though!

Always figured it was either Mason or Xavier McDaniel.

 

[EPDC]

It was Hubert Davis.

Joe is lying.

 

[Beaty Swollocks]

Joe knows that ain't confirmed...tryna stay relevant.

I wanna hear from Lil Cease.

 

[jrsysfnst1]

I thought it was said it was Hubert Davis

that sounds more realistic then mason, i dont think AM woulda took that shit so lightly, especially if the nigga made a song about it.. he wasnt a calm enough person to just let that shit go..

 

[A to Dah K]

Shit was prolly ducktails

 

[John Mickens Jr.]

Convient story....with both dead nobody can say he's lying....which he is.

 

[N*E*R*D]

Im still not convinced it's true

 

[XXXplosive]

It was Hubert Davis.

Joe is lying.

This is what I think, assuming the whole song/story is even true in the first place.
Fat Joe just trying to stir shit up for album sales and press.

 

[John Mickens Jr.]

Big just wrote the song. He got the idea from one of his boys that was fucking a Knicks player's bitch.

Inside info, or link?

If I was a.mason I would have inspired the song "niggas bleed just like us"

True. Besides, would a scarf really disguise a famous, black, 6'3 300 pound dude with a voice as distinctive as his?

I really think that's unfairly cynical. Joe may be doing press for his album (I guess-- I heard about this when it happened and didn't realize he had a project attached) but he didn't ask for the question. I don't think many people ran out to buy his album because of this or that it really helps him.

Basically they asked that to every rapper who and past knick.
