****(-If you ever wondered why Q Tip wore a mask in the video for "Hot Sex", this is why. There was also some intervention by a neutral party to squash this beef between Wrecks N Effect and Tribe.)****
-Nas came incredibly close to being on the Large Pro produced Kool G Rap, Xtra P, Freddie Foxxx and Ant posse cut "money in the bank" as he was always hangin' around Eric B.'s studio but had gone to pick up some weed with a chick so they let the Ant kid on there instead.
- Main Source (sans Large Pro) ran up in the Wild Pitch offices with machetes looking to behead MC Serch (then working as an A&R for the label) after a West Coast promotional tour went sour. MC Serch got wind that they were coming and escaped by crawling over the partial walls for his office and jetting out the back door.
-MC SERCH:
Thanks for the memory. Here are the facts. Yes I ran Wild Pitch and was the VP for two years and A&Red both the OC classic "Times UP" and the Coup "Genocide and Juice". Main Source ran up with a lot of weapons while my pregnant wife was visiting me. The reason they ran up is that while doing a promo run in LA with the Main Source, we went to a live performance and some dude was outside with a sawed off trying to rob the DJ for the night. When we got back those dudes thought that I put out a hit on them. they kick in my office door and start trying to bogart. I did not escape throught no back starcase but looked over my half wall to see what was up. It was an ugly event and basically was the last day that the group was on the label. Wild Pitch made some grreat music but was doomed based on the deal they had between themselves and EMI. I never ran from them dudes and I never would. My wife and I look at those days as another part of education in this business

-Grandmaster Caz wrote Rappers Delight.
-Pharrel use to carry records around for Teddy Riley.
-Benzino forced Mays to give him part ownership of the source. There are legends of Benzino and his people tying up Mays in his own closet.
-Benzino actually one of the main reasons why Boston had such a small homicide rate in the late 90's, the Feds put UC's on every block and had a lot crazy shit going on so Benzino got a lot of the heads of the bigger gangs together to unite so that not everyone get locked up. That saw the murder lessen and the Boston police taken credit for "doing away with crime in a big city".
-The entire city of Boston was blacklisted back in the day by the industry due to crowds and Boston rappers and thugs attending shows just to cause problems. Every rapper from Audio Two to Biggie had either a bottle smashed across their head on stage or their show cancelled due to a shooting. To this day very few rappers do shows in the Boston hoods because of it.

-JT the bigga Figga returned Nas chain to him when it got stolen in cali

Treach (naughty by nature)has done Porn movies and is Pepas (salt n pepa)babydaddy
Kool G Rap signed a contract with Rawkus worth more than a million dollars
All of the DJ work on Paid In Full that was NOT done by Marley Marl it was done by Rakim, not Eric B.
If I remember right didn't Rakim and Large Professor do the Don't Sweat the Technique album? With little or no input from Eric B.
Eric B didn't do a damn thing for the Eric B & Rakim albums
Fuckin' A right!
This one has been making the rounds for years, and with good reason: It's totally true. "But wait," you say. "What about all those credits on the albums that say 'Produced by Eric B & Rakim?'" Ah, you're a sweet kid, but don't be so fucking naive. The discrepancy between who got credit for what on an album versus who actually did what is huge. It was even bigger in the '80s, because hip-hop wasn't big business then. So let's break this down. First of all, Eric's classic vanity cut in which Rakim nominated him for president? Marley Marl did those scratches. And most of the rest of the scratches performed on Eric B & Rakim albums were performed by none other than the God himself, Rakim. So Eric B wasn't the scratcher. But surely he made beats, right? Not so fast. Rakim did most of the production work, plus, as your ears may have already informed you, he got massive (and uncredited) assists from 45 King (Follow the Leader) and Large Professor and the late great Paul C (Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em). So he didn't do cuts, he didn't do beats, what did he do? Well, he was indisputably the tour/performance DJ. But mostly, he was a guy with a lot of street cred and a lot of money for studio time. Artistically, his input was nil. Check his solo album if you don't believe us.
If you listen to Many Men, at the beginning if you count the gun shots, there are only 8 instead of 9.
memphis bleek is not fake as everybody thinks, he actually sold drugs, he was actually pushin weight when he met jay, before the rap shit started poppin off jay made him stop because he was only 15, bleeks boy got gunned down over a dice game and bleek adopted his daughter.
In bedstuy and bushwick, big and jay had some famous battles in the street, and in their high school, big always said jay won because jay rapped to fast, jay also battled busta in their high school, lil kim also attended that school.
Before reasonable doubt, Jay-Z and Jaz-O ran into LL cool J at a club, LL recognized Jaz and they spoke, Jay approached and asked to battle, LL didnt back down. Jay won the friendly battle. thats why LL to this day never takes offense when jay calls himself the best rapper alive, or best rapper dead or alive, when LL claims goat.
Joe Budden was put on anti depressants, was addicted to angel dust, was stabbed by his babys mother, locked up numerous times, dude named joshua tried to kill him twice, pulled the gun twice, gun jamed twice, joe budden was in his hummer and they beat joshua down then took him to the precint.
Joe budden owns numerous cars, including a hummer, and ferrari, but chooses to drive his 93 toyota corolla wit factory rims. Joe budden is not broke as many people think, he doesnt make any money off of album sales, but he is probably the smartest rapper around right now, he owns his publishing, which means millions of pump it up dollars.

AZ many times, was very close to signing to rocafella
Cormega, was a signature away from reppin the roc.
Joe Budden was on rocafella before dame went, but did not want to have to choose between dame and jay so he just tore up the rocafella contract and stood under his old def jam contract.

The track in which jay disses mase, saying "im rolling wit rocafella, they gettin money man" is d-dot, bad boys #1 producer at the time. No one on bad boy was behind mase on his beef wit jay, thats why he never realeased his diss track.

2Pac had beef with the Fugees, and no, I dont know why...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Reason that was started was cuz Wyclef said something about Pac's music. Something about how his music was negative.
HAHAHA LOOK AT THIS INTERVIEW THEY PULLED FROM DIFFERENT GROUPIES WITH DIFFERENT RAPPERS....
JADAKISS:
How was Jadakiss in bed?
He’s a minuteman, for sure.
How did you meet him?
I was at a show where he performed. He approached me like, "Yo, come here, come chill with me." I waited with him until everyone left and we went back to the hotel. We’re chilling, everything is cool, and then everybody else leaves the room. I just kinda sat there, like, "Okay, now we’re alone…" and we were watching TV. He was like, "Come here, let’s watch TV in bed." So I’m thinking, Okay, I guess this is how it’s gonna go down. We go over to the bed and he starts touching me. I was like, "No, I don’t know if I wanna do this," but it kinda just led to it and we were going to [have sex] and he just busted. That was it. No oral sex or anything, it was just kinda grindin’. Sizewise, he was decent. Nothing to brag about. It doesn’t even really count as sex, because he busted so fast he didn’t even really stick it in. Everything was cool, though, we just went to sleep and I left the next morning. We’ve never talked again.
Were you disappointed?
It wasn’t that I was disappointed, I was just shocked because I thought he would last longer. Plus, I didn’t really wanna do it in the first place. I was more disappointed with myself for even getting to that point.
So would you be offended if someone called you a groupie?
I don’t give it up that easy, it was just in that circumstance. You know, if a woman wants it, what’s wrong with that? I don’t consider any girl to be a groupie, ‘cause everybody does their own thing. We don’t consider guys to be groupies, so I don’t think women should be considered groupies either.
Do you think the minuteman thing was just a fluke?
It might have been a fluke. I hope it was just a fluke. I just don’t know how it happened that fast. He’s gotta be able to last with somebody.
So what’s your reaction when you hear his lyrics talking about sex, or how good he is in bed?
I just kinda start laughing, like, "Oh, okay…"
Are there any celebrities you’d want to sleep with?
Ludacris. I think the sex would be fun; just ‘cause of the way he carries himself. He talks so much about sex. But, sometimes the ones that talk about it aren’t about anything.
JAY-Z:
When did you meet Jay-Z?
This was back when Reasonable Doubt came out. We met at a club. One of his friends was ****in’ one of my friends, and he was like, "What up. My name is Jay-Z."
Was he already famous? Were you attracted to him as a person, or more for the fame?
I definitely didn’t find him attractive, but he was borderline famous so I figured I’d have a story to tell. He told me I looked like I had a "****able mouth," which I thought was probably the most disrespectful **** I’d ever heard.
Boring?
Boring. The biggest **** you will ever see in your life, but boring. Huge. Like a one-liter Pepsi bottle. What do you call those things? The 20-ounce bottle. It’s beyond huge. It could block the sun.
Too big to suck?
No, not at all. That’s why he ****** with me. And he screams like a ***** when he busts. It’s horrible. He has a big humungous **** and has no idea what to do with it.
You didn’t try to teach him?
It wouldn’t have worked to teach him anything. He’s just boring. Plus, I really didn’t care. I was mostly just around for the cash. He might not be boring in bed to everyone, but me, I just didn’t dig him. He always wanted head first, then backshots. Then he’d always try to stick it in the a**hole. I don’t know what the **** he thought he was doing with that big-@#%$ ****.
What kinds of things did he buy you?
Two fur coats. Diamond earrings. I got mostly cash, though. Cash all the time.

" The Reason B.I.G Changed His Orginal Name Biggie Smalls To The Notorious B.I.G Is Because The Original Biggie Smalls From California Punked Biggie Into Changing His Name..Big had to change his name from "biggie smalls" because there's an artist who has that name already, some white cat who makes contemporary music or whatever.. I remember this because back in the 90's I had like 2$ on me at the mall and was looking for one of those 99cent tape singles to waste money on.

Game reponded "I respect that, but yo I'm from Compton", to which the guy responded "**** Compton". The Game then tried to swing, and then got swiftly dealt with by the guy. I was laughing when I was told this. It was so amusing to even picture it, especially as the guy that supposedly banged up The Game was like 5'5"/5'7" and stocky. The guy was about 17 years old.

The Game was originally discovered at a talent showcase by SF Bay Area producer JT the Bigga Figga, who immediately signed him to his GetLow/BlackWallStreet Label. When The Game left JT to be signed by Dr. Dre and join G-Unit he began using the BlackWallStreet label and name as if it was his own company. JT responded by witholding the release of the Game's first album (Untold Story) until he had already been promoted by Aftermath and Dr. Dre. He released it once Game became popular and compiled ANOTHER album (without Game's permission but sound under contract) showing Game on the cover as he had looked before signing to Aftermath (no tattoos). JT made hundreds of thousands capitalizing on Aftermaths promotion in this way and marketing Game's material late...Game got an estimated $25,000 for BOTH albums.
Don't know if this was posted but, supposedly there was a legendary battle at a Canibus concert. The WU vs Canibus.. Straight acapella freestyle, like them old school ciphers. Canibus ripped all of the wu except GZA & Killah Priest. Canibus defeated GZA but he didn't OWN him. Now, Killah Priest freestyled and about 8 minutes into the sh*t, Canibus threw in the towel and Killah still kept on rapping. There is no audio of this, and supposedly GZA spoke on this in some interview.
Blinky Blink broke a table over Canibus's head
will smith aka the fresh prince turned down the matrix to be in wild wild west
Jay Z in fact did lose 92 bricks. but he got it all back with A1. 10,000*92=92,0000
Eric B. DID NOT do the scratching (or the beats) for the Paid In Full album.
It IS true that Freddy Foxx was supposed to be the MC that Eric B picked but he bounced before the meeting because Eric B was running late and Freddy thought that the dude that set up the meeting was bullshiting him about the situation.
Freddy has admitted this quite a few times in radio interviews and has told me this himself.
Rakim and I have been cool for quiet a while and we have also toured together. Rakim is a jazz musician (believe it or not, I believe he plays sax) and this is why his is musically inclined. Most great innovators in rap have this in common. (Grandmixer DSt - of "Rockit" fame- was and is an accomplished drummer.)
Rah, did the scratching and alot of the production. He even mouthed the beat to My Melody for Marley Marl (who was actually laughing at Rakim while he was doing vocals for his first album because he thought Rah was "wack!")
Oh yeah, Teddy Riley did the beat for "The Show" by Doug E. Fresh and the Get Fresh Crew.
YES Rakim did the scratching on Paid in Full-confirmed by Johnny Juice from Public Enemy
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I remember seeing Eric B and Rakim perform Paid in Full on Top of The Pops - the only reason I remember it was because Eric B knocked the arm off the turntable.
-I would see him just standing there literally behind the turntables and didnt even pretend to scratch. I knew the jig was up then.
A friend of mine swore he saw Rakim snorting cocaine at a party in DC back in da early 90's. When I told him Rakim was a Five Percenter he was shocked.
Terminator X didn't perform those crazy cuts on the classic Public Enemy albums
Terminator's caught--can he get a witness?
Hell no he can't get a witness. We give props to Terminator for being the world's only mute DJ and for making wraparound granny shades seem hardcore. And he was also a fantastic tour DJ. But those mind-warping scratches on the early PE albums? It wasn't the "norm" for Terminator to do those cuts. (Ha ha ha! Get it? His real name is Norman!) In a strange case of brownwashing, PE was 2 black, 2 strong, and 2 ashamed to admit that a Puerto Rican turntable wizard was the one speaking with his hands. The truth is, hardcore B-boy and scratch guru Johnny "Juice" Rosado (as in "Juice on the loose--electric wire") was the guy transforming his ass off, adding the crazy-ass tags and throw-ups to the Bomb Squad's famed wall of sound. Even the "Terminator X Getaway" version of "You're Gonna Get Yours" is a horrible misnomer: The remix, ill cuts and all, was done by Juice. Get the whole story fresh-squeezed from Johnny right here.
Dr. Dre doesn't make his own beats
True, but the sound is Still D.R.E.
Has anybody else noticed this cycle yet? People work with Dre, enjoy success. Dre gets tired of the bullshit and moves on to the next thing. People aren't so successful anymore and suddenly hate Dre and claim they, not the Doctor, did all the work. Then they go hug up with Suge and Benzino and whoever else regularly throws a "Dr. Dre Is a Big Stupid Poopyface" party. Dre has never ducked the fact that he has coworkers in the studio who contribute heavily to his material. But none of that shit matters because at the end of the day, those studio noodlings ain't shit without the diggy diggy Doc. Suckaz make beats; Dre makes songs and puts his sonic stamp on everything. If that ain't a producer, then you better go dis Quincy Jones, newjack.
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony bit their whole steez from Freestyle Fellowship
Sure, why not?
Actually, the Three-6 Mafia would have you believe that they were the ones being bitten by the Boners, but since when has Three-Six Mafia mattered to anybody anywhere? Style-biting is generally pretty open to interpretation, but who else but the Fellowship was busting that hyperfast, sing-songy steez back then? Nobody, that's who. At least nobody of any consequence. So how did a bunch of stoners with bad perms from Cleveland come to bite everybody's favorite L.A. backpackers? We're guessing the Good Life Cafe, home to many a Fellowship rhyme workout, is the missing link. Lots of heavyweights outside of your typical gangstafied artsy-fartsy Project Blowed soaked up the Good Life. Ice Cube, for example, was a regular spectator. So why wouldn't Cube's ol' buddy Eazy-E take his latest wick-wack proteges to the same spot to soak up some knowledge? Granted, even the corniest Blowedian wouldn't come with something as corny as that harmonized "bonebonebonebone, bone, booooooone" shit, but the similarities are too close for comfort. And Abstract Tribe Unique's "L.A. Styles Back," a not-too-thinly veiled dig at some g-ed up doo-wopping biters, backs up the idea. Besides, Self Jupiter could singlehandedly whip all the Bone Scrubs' asses, so whatever he says goes in this argument.
The D.O.C. used to ghostwrite for Easy E and Dr. Dre
Dr. Dre doesn’t write his lyrics but he produces most of it.
Flavor Flav's cousins with ODB, RZA, GZA and LL Cool J...the force is strong in that clan.
