Video: Biggie & Jay-Z – Get Money (Live @ Ralph McDaniels’ Birthday Party, 1996)

FUSE just liberated some rare footage of Biggie performing “Get Money” with Jay-Z as hypeman at a birthday party for Ralph McDaniels back in 1996.

McDaniels told FUSE:

“Every year, I had a birthday party,” said McDaniels. “I wanted to get B.I.G. to host [it], but really I wanted him to perform. Jay-Z came with the whole Roc-A-Fella crew and they got on stage. I told the DJ, ‘If Biggie gets on stage, play a Biggie song and we’ll get him to perform.’ DJ Ace threw on ‘Get Money’ and the whole crowd went crazy. B.I.G. looks at me like, ‘I guess I’m supposed to perform now, right?’ Jay-Z plays hypeman to B.I.G. on ‘Get Money.’ That just rang through the hood forever.”
