Allegedly Keith Murray beat the shit out of a Def Jam Executive because there were more Ludacris flyers in the office than flyers for his projects.
The Lox nearly signed to Death Row records through the help of Mary J. Blige, who was messing with Suge Knight at the time.
Tupac and R.Kelly were supposed to do a collaboration album together but Pac passed away before they could. Jay-Z would later fill that void.
Reasonable Doubt was supposed to be Jay-Z’s first and last album. Planned on hanging it up after it came out, but changed his mind as he did a few times after. Cool pic, probably late 80’s though not ‘96 obviously.
Dame Dash slapped Steve Stoute. Stoute was Nas’s first manager. Puff smacked Stoute, 50 Cent almost smacked Stoute, everyone hates Stoute.
50 Cent got shot the day before he had to meet with Destiny’s Child to shoot his ‘Thug Love’ video off of the Power of The Dollar album that he had with Columbia. This is him in the early 90’s
Mobb Deep almost signed with Bad Boy records, DMX nearly signed with Bad Boy too.
Jasmine Guy from The show “A Different World” hid Tupac in her basement in the days leading up to the rape trial in order to protect him from Jimmy Henchman’s men.
This scene from Belly where Nas shot at the dude who ran up on him, happened in real life supposedly.
Jay-Z stabbed Lance Un Rivera over bootlegged CD’s from Vol 3 but supposedly it was over a girl, who used to be Biggie’s side chick.
DMX brought grittiness back to NY rap and Irv Gotti took a chance on him. Jay-Z laughed at the idea, even though he knew X could go. X went on to have two platinum albums in 1998
LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee supposedly fought one night backstage.
“The Bridge is Over” beat was originally Marley Marl’s and somehow Krs-One and Scott La Rock allegedly found it in a studio.
Professor Griff from Public Enemy was kicked out of the group after the album “It Takes A Nation Of Millions to Hold Us Back” after making racial remarks. He was brought back on for “Fear Of A Black Planet” then got kicked out the group again. Chuck D hooked him up with Def Jam.
Large Professor (below left) , allegedly ran up in the Wild Pitch office with a machete looking for MC Serch (below right) over something that happened on a promotional tour. Serch knew they were coming so he ran out the back door.
Rakim allegedly wrote a diss for Big Daddy Kane in his demo for “Let the Rhythm hit em” and Kane called to squash their issues. Rakim went back on the track and scratched the verse.
After hearing Live at the BBQ, MC Serch gave Nas the opportunity to hop on his song Back to the Grill again.
Jay-Z went into a depression after Big died and felt the pressure to keep New York on top. Fueling his “I’m retiring” rants. Throughout that faze he made some of the best music of his career.
Jay-Z wrote The Blueprint in two days, featuring disses to Nas and Mobb Deep.
When Nas said “I don’t know how to start this shit man” on the beginning of NY State of Mind, he really didn’t know to start the song; but DJ Premier was queuing him in so he just started rapping from the top.
Snoop was very neutral during the East Coast West Coast nonsense. He valued Big and what he brought to the table, ultimately the reason why Pac was upset at him prior to his death. Snoop talks about it more on Big Boy radio I believe.
Tupac wanted to get OUT of Death Row but Suge held him back by giving him Death Row East, which never launched. Pac looked enthusiastic in this video, but he was trapped.
Mase ran out of Harlem because he allegedly was getting extorted. His experience in the music business shook him I guess.
Before Big died, he co-signed Cam’ron.
