Curious as to how this tandem snagged MJB for Survival Skills ? Well, according to Buckshot, his relationship with the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is deeper than rap.

Former Black Moon frontman Buckshot said getting Mary J. Blige

on his new single wasn’t about money — it was about friendship. Buck

and the Queen of Hip-Hop Soul go back to the ’90s, when Buck’s artists

and Boot Camp Clik members Smif-N-Wessun rapped on the remix to MJB’s

“I Love You.” The two have been cool ever since.

“One of the last times I saw her before this song was in front

of Sony studios,” Buck remembered. “Me and Mary played a game of

basketball right in front of Sony studios. You know how you would be in

front of your building and you would use the wall as a hoop? So me and

Mary was literally on the sidewalk just playing ball, bugging out.

Mary, she really is Mary J. Blige. She’s ‘hood, she’s elegant, she’s

real.

“I read an interview where Natalie Portman said she likes dirty

rap, obscene lyrics and all that. I figure she can dance to this one.

I’m looking for you Natalie!”— Ghostface Killah

Well, Ghost is right. In Interview magazine, the actress admitted to having a penchant for lewd raps. Hopefully this new cut tickles more than her fancy.

50 Cent & Ghostface Squash Beef

Considering Ferrari and Starks’ history, I found it was strange that Ghost granted the folks down the URL an interview. Well according to XXL, he mended their beef with a phone call.

That’s some old-school shit. Back then, things were

all snowballed in the air on some other shit. I didn’t like what he

said, that’s where it all started from anyway. But we kicked it on the

phone one time, and after we kicked it on the phone that was it. I aint really trying to hold no grudge fucking 30 years later after

he done said whatever the fuck he done said. So it

was like whatever. At the end of the day we’re

still people just trying to get ahead. It’s like you’re having a fight

with a muthafucka 10 years ago… you can either keep the grudge or be

like ‘yo wattup’ and just let it go and shit, it’s like what the fuck

I’m holding on to it for. I respect all these niggas. As long as you

respect me, I’ma respect you.

Word to Aretha.
