Earlier today, we revealed the first of our June/July 2015 cover stars—Kid Cudi and Jeremy Piven, who will both star in the film adaptation of HBO’s Entourage. The Emmy-award winning actor and the Grammy-award winning musician spoke with Complex's Joe La Puma about everything from working together on the film, to the music industry today, and more. An interesting bit in the interview is Piven's story about going to one of The Notorious B.I.G.'s last shows in LA:


Jeremy, I remember seeing you once at a Jay Z/Eminem concert. Are you into hip-hop?


JP: I am. I went to what I believe was one of Biggie’s last shows, at the House of Blues in L.A. I remember looking next to me and seeing Prince with “SLAVE” cut into his beard, because he was having some trouble with his label at the time. I couldn’t get anyone to go to the show with me. I fuckin’ went alone to see Biggie. I’ve been a fan of hip-hop for a really long time, and I still am.
