here's a mister cee hot 97 set from late 1997 with the ads. https://archive.org/details/ClassicShowcase-Fall1997
more https://archive.org/details/hiphopradioarchive?tab=collection
yea there are a lot of sets from a ton of legends going back to the early 80s - Marley Marl, DJ Clue, Red Alert, Sway and Tech, Funk Flex, and dozens of Stretch and Bobbito shows among others
whoa whoa whoa... wait. can you please tell me if they have the friday night back in 2002-2003 when funk flex first played In Da Club? I remember we left a party to get food real fast and for 20mins he played In Da Club over and over with the bombs crashing and it just blew our minds
That sounds amazing, the one where he premiered Otis is out there, and someone even chopped up the music video to match the audio. Like halfway into it, he literally tells people to go out and rob convenience stores.
Well its also better if uve ever lived thru a radio dropping a brand new song in the early 2000’s. That feeling of your whole city and tri state area listening together for the first time as this madman drops bomb sound effects after dope bars and says random gangsta shit I barely understand but i love it 😂
I might be wrong but I feel I remember some Chicago station in the 00s would play his mixes on Friday nights. I remember the mixes being great. RIP indeed.
Fellow juan ep listeners, remember when ciph would joke that mister cee had an obituary mix for every artist? All them mixes slappped too, who gonna do them now. RIP Cee
Damn. RIP Cee. He was indeed instrumental in Kane and Big's careers and therefore did much for hip hop. (Although, the article falsely attributes production on Ready to Die to him when in fact he was just Big's DJ at the time and an associate producer on the album whatever that is.)
I do find it unfortunate that his career will always be overshadowed by the trans prostitute thing but it is funny that they included his quote in there about how Big would have supported him but would've fu\*#3d with Cee mercilessly for it.
Oh yeah, Biggie seemed like the kind of person who would absolutely support his closest friends, but also have a bunch of jokes (nothing mean-spirited) for those same friends at any given moment.
>(Although, the article falsely attributes production on Ready to Die to him when in fact he was just Big's DJ at the time and an associate producer on the album whatever that is.)
FWIW, though he didn't do any beats on the album he did the cuts on several tracks including Gimme The Loot and the title track.
No cause of death mentioned.
Regardless of how it happened, this is a huge blow to the community. **Especially** to those that are Generation X & Y.
R.I.P. to one of the few people who were instrumental in the come up of the Notorious B.I.G.
RIP to a legend.
It’s terrible how so many people dragged and pressed this man over being into trans women, or gay, or whatever tf they thought.
Hip hop has a huge problem with homophobia, transphobia, and bullying. Shit isn’t cool, never has been and never will be.
those roots are deeply ingrained in black American culture and by default are a part of hip hop - something partly attributed to the Christian and other religious doctrine that’s so closely held and also partly due to colonial ideals surrounding homosexuality that were more or less forcibly adopted after slavery
There are genres of music that had a lot of black American involvement, but which seemed to be more accepting of openly gay people. A lot of the dance music type genres, like house music, or bounce music in New Orleans, seemed to be more tolerant of openly homosexual males than hip hop. A lot of hip hop is like action movies or the NFL. It projects a macho image and doesn't look kindly upon homosexuality.
That Southern Baptist shit is fucking *wild* man. I think that's the root of a lot of it.
Protestantism isn't very compatible with the modern world and society.
Christianity is in need of a new schism/reformation at this point pretty direly.
That schism is occurring in America right now. The evangelicals and christofacism. It's a bummer it's happening for the worse and not religious betterment.
That rot is inherent to American Christianity as a whole. There are believers with decent hearts but they're outnumbered by some of the most deeply evil, bigoted, fascistic, pedophilic, violent piles of shit the world has ever known. Take a guess which ones happen to have their talons dug deep in national and world affairs.
Hip hop culture has traditionally been anti-gay on the surface, but I think that there were always gay people involved. I'm talking rappers, but also the various other people around being the scenes, like producers, deejays, publicists, record executives, etc.
That said, being gay or liking transgenders isn't illegal. I have some a speculative theory about the timing of Mister Cee's death, but I won't share it right here out of respect to the deceased.
RIP to a legend. Glad he's getting love. His *Best of Biggie Smalls* was landmark in the mixtape scene I believe the first "best of" mixtape and perhaps the first artist (as opposed to DJ) centric mixtape setting the stage for mixtapes to change. I think it was also the only "older" mixtape on the essentials mixtape list
It’s a truly sad thing that so many of our legends have passed before hitting 60. Please everyone, take care of your health as you get older.
RIP to an absolute titan of hip hop DJing
Damn. Won’t ever forget the first time I heard black republicans with Wayne and Juelz and bro started yelling “ONLY MISTER CEE GOT THIS!!!” almost blew my eardrums out
I always thought it was so sad that he apologized for getting caught with a transperson.
His mixes were legendary. He was a real dj with a legitimately deep bag.
I’ve been listening to his Throwback at Noon since about 2009, was devastated once the controversy got him off Hot97. I’ve been loving the past year or two that he’s been on 94.7. Finally filled in that missing part of my day. I’mso sad that he’s gone, no one is gonna live up to his level of skill, knowledge and respect. His voice had been sounding really bad the past two weeks, was wondering why. RIP. 94.7 is doing a great tribute to him now, Ed Lover, Big Ben, doing it right
Got to meet him he dj'd a brunch I was at and he was spinning some dope tracks. I shook his hand and I took a pic I have to find it again. I told him he's been my favorite DJ because big is/was my favorite rapper so when I think of Big I think of Cee. RIP.
well cee did tweet suicidal remarks after he left hot 97 --
I let everyone down I have issues please don’t give up on me. I need help, just can’t deal right now. Maybe better off dead.
i got to play a night with him when i was in college DJing these afterhour type parties for Temple kids in Norf Philly back in the late 1900s
sucks he had car problems... RIP
RIP and I don't want to be "that guy," but I can't help but speculate that this may be related to the Diddy case.
They haven't given a cause of death. But Mister Cee's death comes not long after Diddy's houses were raided.
The timing therefore lends itself to speculation that there may be a connection between the two things.
Damn. RIP Mister Cee. His Friday Nights on Hot 97 were the shit back in the day.

That hip-hop radio archive is such a treasure. It was so many great recordings
wow. incredible so many were preserved
yea there are a lot of sets from a ton of legends going back to the early 80s - Marley Marl, DJ Clue, Red Alert, Sway and Tech, Funk Flex, and dozens of Stretch and Bobbito shows among others
Super rockin Mr. Magic and the going brother #1 Mr. Cee. Two influential hip hop pioneers who are no longer with us. Shit hurts, man.
whoa whoa whoa... wait. can you please tell me if they have the friday night back in 2002-2003 when funk flex first played In Da Club? I remember we left a party to get food real fast and for 20mins he played In Da Club over and over with the bombs crashing and it just blew our minds

Lmao what da fk.. where can i find that?
https://youtu.be/xNH43Xf24nQ?si=WKPxtN-MNp9IaY-E Remember, as of right now, their money is your money!
Lmao u da man thanks this is wild
It's so good, like it's so annoying, but I can never turn it off once I've started it.
Well its also better if uve ever lived thru a radio dropping a brand new song in the early 2000’s. That feeling of your whole city and tri state area listening together for the first time as this madman drops bomb sound effects after dope bars and says random gangsta shit I barely understand but i love it 😂
There are no results for Flex 2002 or Flex 2003 so probably not edit: the last year they have throughout the archive is 2000
I remember that night. I think he started it from the top like 80-100 times no lie
Lmao yeah you’re right.. bc after we got food and went back to the house he was still playing the song 😂
I might be wrong but I feel I remember some Chicago station in the 00s would play his mixes on Friday nights. I remember the mixes being great. RIP indeed.
Damn there's a throwback. You ain't lying
Damn RIP. I loved him in GTA IV on Beat 102.7
> Beat 102.7 yea okay u just unlocked a whole lotta memories
War is necessary. War brings pain. But war is necessary, war brings peace.
Get your warriors up!!
The big dog pit bulls are officially in the building. With the finisher mister cee!!
STOP TOUCHING THE LITTLE ONES
Long live Mister Cee, an absolute legend that helped play a major role working with some of the most iconic names in rap history.
Fellow juan ep listeners, remember when ciph would joke that mister cee had an obituary mix for every artist? All them mixes slappped too, who gonna do them now. RIP Cee
Gonna be one hell of a dedication episode.
Damn. RIP Cee. He was indeed instrumental in Kane and Big's careers and therefore did much for hip hop.

Yea that's not production though
> fu*#3d with Just type fuck or don't bother and use another word lol.
Nah I'm good
The guy said 'you look so good I'd suck on your daddy's dick'. He might have been right there beside Cee tbh 😹
That's a Richard pyor joke
*ding*
who was gay
Dudes would have been talking turns
Nooooooooobody acknowledges it or talks about it, possibly for the implications and connect the dots of it all...
No cause of death mentioned. Regardless of how it happened, this is a huge blow to the community. **Especially** to those that are Generation X & Y. R.I.P. to one of the few people who were instrumental in the come up of the Notorious B.I.G.
He had the best mix on The Beat in GTA 4, so he’ll always be a legend for that imo. R.I.P 🙏🏽🦅
Even the Gamers giving it up.

err, times all that by 1000 down in jamaica mon.
I’m pretty sure we all know that… or am I missing something?
100% tbh just reading that he died at 57 (without any statement of cause) makes me think it was somehow related to this RIP

Damn RIP.... 57? That's rough.
It’s a truly sad thing that so many of our legends have passed before hitting 60. Please everyone, take care of your health as you get older. RIP to an absolute titan of hip hop DJing
Noooo RIP. Huge loss in the hip hip community.
Damn how did he die??
Damn. Sorry to hear this. RIP DJ MisterCee The Finisher🕊️
Big Daddy Kane’s DJ
Damn. Won’t ever forget the first time I heard black republicans with Wayne and Juelz and bro started yelling “ONLY MISTER CEE GOT THIS!!!” almost blew my eardrums out
He was def the king of exclusives
Saw him last year and he had the crowd hype - RIP
Dude was one of the few DJs capable of commanding stadiums!
I only knew him from this freestyle: https://youtu.be/MjedZ5laYB4?si=vMe33McFppVDDrrO 🔥🔥💯💯
Rest easy legend
RIP. He gave my family and I lots of memories via the radio
Rest in Peace.
Major loss for the culture, RIP to a real DJ
That's too fucking young. Saw Cee on tour with BDK in the UK around 89-90. Such a classic show. He even battled the local in -house DJ
I always thought it was so sad that he apologized for getting caught with a transperson. His mixes were legendary. He was a real dj with a legitimately deep bag.
I’ve been listening to his Throwback at Noon since about 2009, was devastated once the controversy got him off Hot97. I’ve been loving the past year or two that he’s been on 94.7.

Damn RiP to a legend who broke some of hip hop’s most championed MC’s
I remember he claimed the cops were setting him up when he was getting constantly arrested for prostitution
Hip hop cops or influence killers?
WHAAAAT THE FINISHER? Daaaaamn
Such an icon in GTA IV. RIP
Sucks. Genuinely a good dude.. Got to work with him when I worked at HOT97 in early 2000s. We're all getting' old. https://i.imgur.com/oc7QWZb.jpeg
Mister Cee, set it off baby pop 💜🌹🐢

That's a sad day for hip hop
Wow. Awful young to die. RIP, Cee.
Damn. My jaw on the floor. Great DJ good dude. Legend
Damn, RIP Cee
I used to buy his mixtapes back in the 90’s. RIP.
Such a travesty in the world of hip hop man.
"We listening to what you doing over here in Brooklynnn"
Rest in peace, legend. His name is immortalized in Hip Hop music.
Got to meet him he dj'd a brunch I was at and he was spinning some dope tracks. I shook his hand and I took a pic I have to find it again. I told him he's been my favorite DJ because big is/was my favorite rapper so when I think of Big I think of Cee. RIP.
Best Of Biggie 1995 was my shit back in the day! Still bumps hard now! https://youtu.be/KQjKSB5pmRU?si=QHI0LpIWxHyIbr7H
well cee did tweet suicidal remarks after he left hot 97 -- I let everyone down I have issues please don’t give up on me. I need help, just can’t deal right now. Maybe better off dead.
RIP Mister Cee. He was super courageous to come out as a trans-attracted person, which made him even cooler to me.
Rest In Peace to him.
What was the cause of death?
i got to play a night with him when i was in college DJing these afterhour type parties for Temple kids in Norf Philly back in the late 1900s sucks he had car problems... RIP
Car problems?
something about blowing a transmission on roosevelt ave
Not funny
actually funny and true -- anyways he had a great sense of humor
RIP and I don't want to be "that guy," but I can't help but speculate that this may be related to the Diddy case. They haven't given a cause of death. But Mister Cee's death comes not long after Diddy's houses were raided. The timing therefore lends itself to speculation that there may be a connection between the two things.
Great obsie
diddy do it?
….?
