Getting arrested three times in one day? That's the shit we don't like. Getting a feature placement on Kanye West's new album is a great look—Being behind bars isn't. Haven't we seen this movie before? This Chiraq MC and trouble are synomnous. Drive slow, young homie.
Speaking of BK, Fab had a master plan of bringing Lil Kim and Foxy Brown back together again. But when it was time to make history, Fox Boogie was nowhere to be found. Where was you at? Wack.
Jay’s Vol. 2…Hard Knock Life turns 14 years old today. While on the carpet of his NBA2K event, he recalls his first encounter with a 17 year-old Swizz for the Grammy award-winning album.
“I wanted Dame Grease, ’cause he was workin’ on the DMX album. I was like, ‘Where’s the guy that’s making all of those songs?”
For whatever reason, Darrin “Dee” Dean, the co-CEO of X’s label, didn’t link Jay with Grease, but instead tried to pawn his nephew Swizz off on Hov. ”I’m like, ‘Nah don’t try and play me with the nephew’. He came in, he played those songs. We went from my office to the studio, we made four records … From there, the body of the album was in place.”
