In The Documentary's liner notes, The Game credits Big Fase 100 for “moldin’ me into the man I am today.” However, Fase, paternal blood brother of Game, says he's through with Black Wall Street - a company he helped found. Fase charges that he and others in his tightly knit Compton community rallied behind The Game only for the wildly successful rapper to turn on them. Meanwhile, the Game alleges [click here for statement] that he’s been financially abused to the sum of $1.5 million and other expenses.
The Cedar Block Piru Blood remains committed to a career in entertainment with or without Game's cosign. Big Fase 100 has started My World Management, steering the careers of Glasses Malone, Life and other rap artists. With their rift widening, is this a case of "Game & Abel" or sibling rivalry waiting to heal itself? AllHipHop.com spoke to Big Fase 100 in search of some insight.
AllHipHop.com: Well, first of all, tell people who you are.
Big Fase 100: I’m The Game’s older brother, basically the inspiration behind The Game.
AllHipHop.com: So, you are like the O.G.?
Big Fase 100: I’m about to be 30 years old, so I can’t say O.G. I just went from being a young n***a with O.G. homies, to being an older homey. I didn’t start anything. Speaking on that G thing, I’m the one that people recognize when Game says what he says. If somebody needs go back and say, "Is this guy for real’" I’m the one they say, "If that’s his brother, then he’s for real."
AllHipHop.com: Did you used to rap?
Big Fase 100: Basically, I used to rap from ‘89 all the way to ‘95. I kinda cut it out because s**t got real bad for me out in the streets, so I had to go full-time with my hustle and as a father.
AllHipHop.com: What were things like for you as a rapper?
Big Fase 100: As a rapper, its funny, because the way s**t came about I was always into rap. I have so many CD’s and I always collect everybody’s s**t. As a rapper, I found it hard, it was like when Death Row was poppin.’ I always been right here in Compton, but it never made out to nothing for me. I guess it never got to the right people.
AllHipHop.com: Was Game a passing of the torch for you?
Big Fase 100: Game, with him being my little brother and everything, he always pushed the basketball thing and I wanted more for us so I pushed that in his direction. Once that didn’t happen, whether it was [his] attitude or getting in trouble with the authority, his basketball career didn’t flourish. And he hit the streets with me as a grown man and he got a lil’ hands on and he started hustling with me. Um, I don’t know, I don’t know’ We had the lil’ spot and he ended up getting shot. The Documentary tells this story. His whole hustle was born out there out there. We was grindin’ and it was grimy. He ended up getting shot after that. Contrary to him sayin’ it was just an attempt [on his life], basically what happened was somebody came to our door at 2 AM. The way we had it set up, we shut down at 12 AM - the whole spot. Him opening that door at 2 AM was not the business. That wasn’t what had planned. That wasn’t the way big brother set up the rules’ as far as the hustle went. I hate to say it, but he may have gotten shot out of greed. He don’t at those type of things when he tells that story. Two in the morning, it had to be [greed], I don’t think it was no b***h.
