hip hop facts & rumors (interesting read)

[GangstaBoogy]

every single fact/rumour i post is jacked, ive just copied and apsted from another forum, but the person who posted them there had jacked them from another forum too so dunno if itd be a problem. ive posted this same list on allhiphop's forum and they seemed to have no problem with the fact its jacked so i hope u guys dont either. if u know any other facts/ rumours, add on. anyway here u go:

Some of these are rumors, and some are very true

-LL Cool J and Kool Moe Dee came to blows one night backstage.

-Freddie Foxxx put a gun in Benzino's mouth on the Flavor Unit tour bus, because Benzino would not stop talking **** about what a thug he was

-"The bridge is over" was a Marley Marl beat that Krs One and Scott La Rock found in a studio.

-2pac was robbed and shot by some of Supreme's boys.

-"I got a story to tell" was vaguelly based on a real life incident Biggie had when he was slipping pipe to John Starks' woman.

-Paul C was murdered by his wife and his brother.

-Showbiz has almost been sent upstate for attempted murder twice.

-Big Pun hit Jay Z over the head with a bottle in a club.

-Eric. B beat down Large Professor and ran Kool G. Rap out of New York to Arizona after 'G. Rap revealed Large Pro produced most of the beats Eric B was supposed to have done on the Eric B. & Rakim albums and "wanted dead or alive".

-Biz Markie produced most of EPMD's first album.

-Ghostface, Superb and their team beat down and robbed 50 Cent and Tony Yayo after 50's dis tracks.

-Johnny Juice did all Terminator X's cuts on the Public Enemy albums.

Kool Keith met Godfather Don outside some industry event that both of them weren't allowed entry to. They snuck in through a back window and then hung out for the next month or so recording the 'Don produced tracks on "the 4 horsemen" and, of course, all the classic Cenobites tracks.

-Just Ice was a prime suspect in a murder case.

-Just Ice turned up in Queens on Poet's block after the two Rockwell Noel & The Poet tracks dissing Krs One, Red Alert and Ms. Melodie with a shotgun and waited for Poet to come out. Needless to say, Poet stayed in the crib that day.

-DJ Ready Red was kicked out of Geto Boys and shafted by J. Prince because of his lack of melanin.

-Alpo, Fritz, the original 50 Cent from Ft Greene and various other notorious hustlers/killers from the legendary Paid In Full Posse were in the crew shots on "paid in full" and "follow the leader".

-Rakim recorded a dis cut aimed at 'Kane for "let the rhythm hit 'em" and had a verse on the title track itself aimed at him. 'Kane heard about this and called Rakim to squash it and Rakim went on to scrap the track and remove the verse.

-Eric B. did security for Mike Tyson throughout much of the 90's.

-Diamond D and his old late 80's group Ultimate Force with Master Rob recorded a full album with Jazzy Jay which has never been heard.

-A young Fat Joe and his boys Tony Montana(R.I.P) and Charlie Rock L.D were one of the top two crack crews in the Bronx in the mid 80's and bringing in thousands of $$$$ per day.

-Q Tip got fuked up so bad by one of the members of Wrexx N Effect that he lost partial sight in one of his eyes. ****EDIT***^^^^^very true^^^^^

-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 ****ty. 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.

- Grimm was supposed to be on "Live at the Barbecue" but he was arrested on the way to the studio.

-Rza and Killah Sin and another fam member went to see 50 perform after How To Rob and 50 got wind of them being there and dipped backstage and didn't perform, I have heard this one several times.

-Redman Smacked Prodigy around the time Hell On Earth was out b/c he was dissing Keith and Def Squad.

-A member of Wu got jumped at Suge's club in Las Vegas and Pac didn't like the way it went down and told Suge to squash the beef and he agreed outta respect.

*****EDIT*****I thought it was keith that snuffed P out in front of his people at the Tunnel.(shrugs)

-When Nas came to Boston around 94/95 somebody in RSO Crew (possibly Benzino) walked up to Nas and sonned him by knocking his baseball cap off of his head.

-Freddie Foxxx went to Landspeed records like 200 deep in order to get the money they owed him.

-Kool Herc was shot around 78 or something.

-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 ish 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".

-Freddie Foxxx did put Benzino in check on tour with the Flava Unit. Benzino was acting up and Foxxx pulled something out.

-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.

-MF Grimm was not only suppose to be on Live at the BBQ, but his joint with Kool G Rap or 4, 5, 6 was suppose to be the lead single but he was arrested again and G Rap went with the joint with Nas.

-Grimm also admitted that he came in third at the World Supremecy battle in 93, losing to SuperNat who won but that he was also involved in a shooting earlier in the day.

-Mf Grimm was held on trial for the murder of a cop.

-Everyone in CashMoney has done at least 2 years in prison I believe.

-A boston beatboxer by the name of A-Train is said to have beaten BizMarkie, Dana Dane, and K-solo in a battle back in 88.

-Jay-z was told by Scarface to change Reasonable Doubt because he actually named names of dealers.

-Fat Joe gave Guru a place to live for awhile.

-Guru didnt leave boston in the best of terms which is why the early of stages of his carrear boston did not play a big part. Gang Starr originally started in Boston and had a few emcees in it. Guru left for NY and took the name without people knowing.

-Rakim was still in high school when paid in full dropped.

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

-suge beating the sh*t out of snoop's/ dre homies cause they were using that phone that harry o had an exclusive phone line... and the dudes saying saying to suge "hey we roll wit dr. dre"! first sign of dre holding no weight

-LL Cool J was cool with Alpo and many other rappers had drug ties then.

-Tupac did have some of his enemies killed.

-Eazy-E was from a very middle class family so was Ice cube they weren't thugs

-Some people in Death Row got raped in the building.

-Suge doesnt like game because he expose some of Death Row business (stuff about Harry-O) and because he is not really blood.

-The reason Sheek wasn't around much after LOX split from Bad boy cause he was clearing up cases he had.

-The real reason Mase left hip hop & Harlem is because of heavy extortion, not an epiphany from god

Snoop lost his juice, but is backed by the crips only because he makes songs to crip to.
Jadakiss

Artists i heard were thorough and why
Styles p- one news story i heard is that somebody tried to rob him back during the free the lox campaign, shot the man DEAD and got off on self defense

Cormega-I've heard for YEARS this cat has sh*t on lock in some places in brooklyn and queens

Ghostface & Cappadonna- Reason ghostface wore a mask in the early days is because he was wanted for robbery when the wu 1st blew up, Cappadonna owned some drug houses here on Staten island for a little while after he got money, i dont know if they're still in business

Fat Joe- i dont know any real stories but i hear things

Game-only what i hear from HIS camp, he's been shot 5 times in the chest they say.

Cashmoney CEO's Brian and Baby Williams have a brother who's LEGENDARY in new orleans, now serving 500 some odd years in jail for various murders, this is true, they do have a bro in jail who is hardcore and a lifer

Have you ever heard Eminem claim that he pulled a gun out on ICP?

Well he pulled a gun out on their road manager, trying to prove something I guess, well the sh*t was unloaded, and supposedly he was nervous and his hands were shaking so hard he dropped it.


the only reason purple haze was pushed back so long is because frekey zekey was in jail and couldnt do the skits



heres some bay gossip

e-40 and mac dre were beefin over a girl..its rumored that the two bay legends funk came when a dude from mac dres neighborhood the country club crest, took 40's girl and 40 beat the dude down fro disrespecting his brother. thats why to this day hillside and crest side dont get along...they each made several diss songs before squashing the beef--the hoods havent.

the luniz aint hard but east oakland respects that they went major and still rep the town so they got thier back

as stated earlier posts the game isnt welcomed in the bay--bay artists--but his 15 year old fans would show up

master p was ran out the bay because he didnt help none of the people that introduced him to the game. or had his back.

c-bo is in jail for shootin his baby momma--true fact

luniz and too short beef is because too short wouldnt let them be part of the dangerous crew


suge knight paid that cat $5000 dollars to assault dr dre at the vibe awards specifically during his lifetime acheivement award segment

reason why the diplomats got into the liquor business is because cam bought 3 liquor stores with confessions of fire money, he learned the in & outs & now sizzurp is blowin up

cam'rons dad used to be a singer in a old time group, i forgot the name but ive seen the album cover,kinda looks like him

ginuine's real name is Elgin Lumpkin

the real reason jay-z doesnt like camron is because dame dash gave camron temp ceo position of rocafella at one point while both dame & jay were away on business/vacation, cam was talkin sh*t on radio stations, screamin @ heads who work there like he started the business from the ground up like jay did,he didnt like that

sean paul is not allowed within 100 feet of beyonce or jigga 'cause during the shotting for baby boy,sean paul tried to scoop beyonce by dissin her man sayin somethin alomg the lines of

"get wit a cute nigga like you deserve"

50 cent tried the same thing too


everybody kno busta rymes is aftermath now? :thefu*k:

its rumored that singer houston really didnt try to kill himself, it was a cover up for something muuuch deeper........................


50 cent & ja rule's beef never started be4 they were famous, they didnt even kno each other, real reason's because ja was rollin with his posse one day just after he got famous, saw 50 cent rollin alone (after how to rob) started talkin sh*t so 50 clapped him dead in his eye, this was before ja poked him with a knife


ghost face and capodona

ran in to one of 50's boys (ZOO) at a block party in staten island
d.p from killah army took zoos watch because he was talking to his girl
and they stomped him out

few monnths later 50 seen ghost at def jam and they exchanged words
and then 50 put out that diss track

thats how that beef sh*t started

pete rock was fu*kin nas' baby momma and nas got wind of this and thats why they dont work together anymore

-Big Pun hit Jay Z over the head with a bottle in a club.
^^ my nigga jayson was there, he cosigns this, this is where the fat joe/hova "animosity" started

Jigga was on stage a lil tipsy with the mic and pun and joe came up to rock and hova didnt want to get off.. said some slick sh*t to joey and pun and Pun cracked him with a bottle of bacardi. PUN speaks on it in "100%" if you listen to the lyrics.

Don't let the liquor fool you, cause I'll stick it to you
Somethin sharp to the heart, or somethin big to move you
The Desert or the shottie, whateva you the body
that chose to be the dumb nigga at the party
Too much Bacardi started speakin dumb
Then you tried to snuff Joe - must have been Puerto Rican rum

jay-z did snuff fat joe and did get hit wit a bottle after snuffin fat joe, but after gettin hit wit the bottle pun and joe left quick, it was about to be over for dem cuz hov was strapped, then lance got stabbed, jay didnt do it, but he aint no snitch so he copped a plea, to this day fat joe hates jay, "dont even talk about the rucker"- fat joe's team has won at the rucker, jays team didnt show, "im the proud new owner of the nets, no diploma no regrets, dont even talk about no rucker motherfu*ker i am set"-jay-z, fat joe is yet to respond, and if u listen to the mind right remix jay-z, memphis bleek, h money, and beans, jay is talkin to pun and joe.-just the facts.

jay-z told bleek to put "ima ball til i fall wat u think of that" cuz jay told carmen to tell nas, when nas was callin carmen while jay was messin around with her to tell nas that, im with a real baller now. nas took offense and responded, on ready for war- memphis bleek - bleek quips - "ur life style was written (nas relased it was written)/ who u supposed to be play ur position", on is that your chick hov quips - "jus playing the cards chose for me/ jigga man, who u supposed to be?" settin the stages for one of the greatest rap beefs ever.

source sound lab, jay-z memphis bleek, and beanie sigel went to record for the dynasty and heard nas was in the studio and went to say wat up, no beef, the bleek beef was recently squashed, Nas snuck out of a back door, - Hov- "where nas went?" and niggas was like, "he heard u was comin and left during the middle of a track."

Ol Dirty Bastard and LL Cool J were supposed to work together. Then, when they were in the studio, ODB pissed on one of L's platinum plaques (he was drunk, surprise, surprise) and LL threw him out.

Master P tied up and pistol whipped Pimp C after UGK were running around and telling everyone how P didn't pay them for their guest appearances



Can someone verify this? I heard Master P was talking smack about the eastcoast or something, and Meth smashed him in the face.

Oh, and here's another gem: Mase burned a Wu Tang flag, and Ghost punched him.

Rhymesfest battled Eminem before he was famous. Rhymefest won.

afu-ra knows tae kwon do...
nas dropped outta high school...
rza used to skip class all the time and still get good grades...
OdB has his own chips---http://www.rapsnacks.com/snack_pics/sourcream.gif
afrika baambata was in a gang...
biz markie was the first artist to be sued for sampling...bad news for hip hop to come

I heard a rumor(probably not true) that Jim Jones got beat up by some blood in LA in front of his body guard when the blood asked Jim jones what set he from he said "dipset"

And Fact, Lil Bruce and Dre use to have funk cause Bruce was talkin bout Dre retarded grandma(or mom) at a club on stage.

Krayzie Bone beat up Prodigy

Puffy got caught gettin' head from a dude(rumors has it that it was Mr.Bentley) ****EDIT somebody else said this,not me

Kane & Slick Rick came to blows backstage at the Run's House tour in 88(i think). (Providence RI) Fight lasted about 1 minute before Vance Wright broke it up.

Freddie Foxxx was originally gonna be Eric B.'s rapper not Rakim



One of those Just Ice murders was for a known Drug Dealer

Mc Hammer found out 3rd Bass was coming to Cali, and ordered someone to merk them

Outlaws had beef with Capone and Noreaga, but was squashed later

Wyclef was close friends with Haitian Jack, the notorius gangster accused of sniching on tupac about the rape case,why?

"Tupac blamed Jacques Agnant AKA Haitian Jack for setting him up in the sexual assault trial. Tupac got the maximum penalty while Haitian Jack got 3 months suspended sentence. It was roumoured that Haitian Jack was a Federal informant. pac shouts him out in Makaveli-Against all odds "

play that track & he tells the story

[GangstaBoogy]

somebody asked me before who pac had orded a hit on
one dude i kno


Stretch of the Live Squad

Tupac fell out with Stretch after the robbing & shooting at the recording studio because he became close to Badboy going to Biggies concerts. Stretch was murdered execution style in Jamaica one year to the day after the Tupac shooting.

-According to Marley Marl, him and Cormega had already finished a whole album ready for release before Nas was due to release illmatic. It eventually fell through as Mega was sent to jail.

- Das EFX stole their iggedy style from UK hiphop outfit Demon Boyz while on tour with EPMD.

-Fritz(that nigga back in the day) used to sell bricks to Alpo, AZ, Rich Porter, Boy George, Tony Montana (Fat Joe's boy) and them. in other words, he supplied the dealers

-reason why curtis jackson took 50 cents name was because the real 50 cent had major beef wit supremes team & had em shook during his prime

-Masta Killa was the last member to join Wu

-Biggie did a 9 month bid in North Carolina

-Eric B had Large Professor beaten down on one occasion for Xtra P talking sh!t about not getting production credits and because he thought he was gettin' at him on "snake eyes".


p Diddy was a back up dancer for Kane & heavy d sometimes

Russell and Puffy had a fall-out due to an argument that Puff & Kimora had at a club. (it got real ugly)

YZ puts hands on treach so Treach boys jumped him. Yz then went for a chainsaw.

Treach (naught by nature)has done Porn movies and is Pepas (salt n pepa)babydaddy

memphis bleek is not fake as everybody thinks, he actually sold drugs, he was actually pushin weight when he met jay, before the rap sh*t 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.

Nas is not really welcomed back in Queensbridge.

The reason i dont feel nas music, NAs witnessed his brother (ILL WILL)get gunned down and aint do sh*t. Nas also, never sold drugs, if u watch the Driven on VH1 jungle says he did, it was a front, nas used to get robbed, and picked on, the real reason he dropped outta high school. Nas also got robbed at one of his video shoots, and had to buy back his chain.
ooooooooooooooooooooh hahahahahahahhaha


My favorite rapper of the moment, Joe Budden was put on anti depressants, was addicted to angel dust, was stabbed by his babys mother, locked up numerous times, nigga 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 niggas 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.


Most of Wu Tang used to be angel-dust heads.

U-God has beef with the Rza over Money

Biggie was not the playa he claimed to be, he never started gettin women until he got money, his bm looks like a man.

Song Cry was a real song about Jay-Z's longtime girlfriend

Trick Daddy was jumped and got his chain snatched at a show in Detroit for dissing Trick Trick a local Detroit rapper cause he thought he stole his name.

Jay-Z doesen't own his publishing for Reasonable Doubt, but tries to diss Nas for not gettin paid when he sampled his voice from Illmatic.

2pac had relationships with a few celebrities on the low, Jada Pinkett and Quincy Jones's daughter to name some.

Ice Cube isint from Compton and went to a college in Arizona, he was never a gangsta.

Xzibit is from Alberquerque, New Mexico.

Scarface tried to commit suicide when he was younger.

Three 6 Mafia used to be called Triple Six Mafia and made songs about worshipping the devil, but were forced to change their name when they signed to Reletivity.

-B.I.G. had some of his dudes run up in D&D studios and beat down Starang Wondah then had them put the phone to his ear while B.I.G. proceeded to tell him never to fu*k with him again. This was in retaliation for OGC's first video where they had a fake Biggie get beat down.

Starang admitted it on Heltah Skeltah's "I Ain't Havin That"
"like when i was up in D&D i caught 2 or 3 stitches / i was still gettin bi*ches at the tunnel takin pictures"

The people behind Murder INC actually held weight when PIF posse was running

the beef connection:::::

Jay Z and Nas had a battle. Nas dissed Angie Martinez who is on Jay's dikk. Angie

Martinez is an unofficial member of the Terror Squad who is headed by Fat Joe who

has worked with Nas many times. Fat Joe has been throwing subliminals at Jay Z

throughout his whole career. There were claims that Big Pun smashed Jay over the

head with a bottle. When Big Pun died Fat Joe 150ed Cuban Linx. The only person

that helped Cuban was Remy who recently battled Lady Luck. Lady Luck has worked

with Ali Vegas alot who has took shots at Clue & Desert Storm. Stack Bundles who

is on DS has been dissing 50 Cent & Ali Vegas in recent freestyles. Joe Budden

who is also down with Desert Storm has been dissing 50 Cent and G Unit who is

home of The Game. The Game recorded a track with Stack Bundles where this all

started. Joe Budden's freestyle over Where Im From was connected to Beanie

Sigel's & Jim Jones freestyle over the same beat. Jim Jones has "tied his flat in

a knot" with Game. The Game has some type of beef with Memphis Bleek who is part

of the ROC team just as Jim Jones. The Game recorded the Certified Gangsta remix

with Lil Flip. Camron and Memphis Bleek both worked with TI who now has beef with

Lil Flip. Lil Flip was on Ludacris's album and they both claim to have beef with

TI. TI has worked with 8 Ball & MJG and were in their last video along with

Ludacris.

ghostface has been shot 3 times but never brags about it like other known fags in

the rap industry

Killah Priest was supposed to have the guest spot on Mystery of Chessboxin' from

Enter the Wu-Tang, but he passed out in the studio and RZA just got Masta Killa

to spit a verse.

And Cappadonna now drives an illegal cab in New York for a his job.

Ill Will was NOT nas's brother...

Fat Joe DID NOT buck 50 cuban, in an interview Cuban says he was jumped by some

of fat joe's people, Joe denies that he had anything to do with it.

Cuban was brought into TS by PUN, him and Joe were never really close.
Fat Joe and Cuban's beef started from rumors that cuban was boning Fat Joes wife.

Cuban denies it, after PUN dies CUba and Joe have no one really keeping them

together, and the rumors continue. Joey and Cuba shoot a fair one in a park in

the BX. No one knows who won, but Cuba says he won and in retaliation Joey gets

his goons to give him a buck fifty. Cuba says joe was hating on the fact he is a

pretty nigga and was cast to star in scarface 2 as tony montana's son. He say joe

said "Now you really scarface"

I go to school in new orleans and everyone said C Murder slaped the sh*t out of

idn about that Killah Priest thing, but I heard that Cappadonna was going to be

in the Wu Tang Clan, but he was in jail when 36 Chambers came out...

Chessboxin

Ced Gee of the Ultramagnetic MCs produced most of Criminal Minded

Jermaine Dupri was going to sign Ludacris to So So Def around the time Incognegro

dropped, but Lil' Jon (who was working for So So Def at the time) advised J.D.

not to, so he went to Def Jam...

The only guest apperances the Beastie Boys ever had on any of their albums were

from Q-Tip and Biz Markie

The Canbius - LL Cool J beef started with Canibus complementing LL on a tattoo,

a track Canibus was featured on

Big Pun was over 600 pounds when he died

Rakim & Dr. Dre were set to release an album together, but it never happened due

to "creative differences", and was dropped by Shady Aftermath (yes, THAT GOAT

Rakim)....

Cage accused Eminem of biting his flow/style on his track 'Agent Orange', which

was released around 1996 (even though the album with it on it was released in

2002), which explains the disses on 'Escape To 88'

Cage (bi polar), Scarface (depression) & Kool Keith (depression) have all spent

time in mental institutes...

The Fresh Prince (Will Smith) was the first rapper to recieve a Grammy

The Beastie Boys were the first rap act to reach #1 on the Billboard charts

Jay went back to marcy after hard knock of life, no security watsoever, went to see his moms, who did not want to move out of the hood. He ran into a former friend and his friend asked him to come to his home studio to record a track, jay did, recorded a verse, the dude asked jay if he need him to walk him to the car (so jay wont get robbed or sumthin) jay said nah im good, longs story short, jay walked to his bently, in the middle of brooklyn, chain swangin, no problem, thats the kind of love jay gets in his hood. " niggas said jigga cant go back home/ u know when i heard that, when i was back home!!!"

joe budden also spent time in a mental institution when he was 15-16 for depression

Jay-z was supposed to be on the third verse of ashantis foolish, irv instead made ashanti write another verse in order to "develop his artist"

jay-z was going to sign 50 cent to rocafella but declined after speaking to his good friend irv gotti, then gotti turned around and tried to sign Nas. Jay said if nas was on murder inc he goes from being the boss of ill will to another ashanti. Nas then refused to sign.

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.

State Property, the group, did not know each other from a hole in a wall before SP, dame and jay jus took everyone from philadelphia under rocafella and made a collective, basically the Rocs version of making the band.

Bleek recorded verses and songs wit beans for the b.coming, Dame did not want them on there, but put a two year old jay song which was on the state property two album. Dame also kept bleek off of the young guns first solo, juelz, the diplomats, and most of the paid in full contract, bleek called it "a conspiracy to get bleek off of the roc"

Welcome to NY was supposed to be camrons second single, Cam refused to shoot the video after jay vetoed cams VP position, probably costing cam another million in record sales.

Reasonable Doubt was the only Jay-Z album realesed under Priority/Rocafella, The collective- Jay, Dame and Biggs own the rights. Jay offered dame dash rocafella if he would just give him 100 percent rights to reasonable doubt, dame refuse, as a result def jam bought rocafella, gave jay-z presidency position, gave him the publishing to every other jay-z album (besides RD) and gave him 100% of Rocafella.

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.

Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek were recording an album together called "From My Hood To Your Hood" when Bleeks brother "dre" was in a near fatal accident, bleek dissapeared from rap for a while getting his brother the best medical treatment in the country and keeping his mother away from it so she wont be hurt by her sons pain, sending her on vacations from miami to san tropez.

The Commision- Big, Jay-Z, and Charlie Baltimore was set to hit the streets when big died, RIP

Murder Inc. - A group featuring Jay-Z, DMX, and Ja Rule was supposed to come out when DMX and Ja Rule had a fallout

Triangle Offense- Joe Budden, Fabolous, and Paul Cain, the album would have came out if joe buddens debut album went platinum, but it didnt so the label didnt feel need to further explore the potential of that group.

Styles P. was only dissing rocafella and Jay-Z during the Beans and Jada beef in order to push jadas album kiss the game goodbye, when styels came out of prison he said he wished he could take it all back and do resoviour dogs part 2 wit "my niggas at the roc"

Sauce Money won a grammy for writing P.diddys verse on Every Breathe u take the BIG tribute.

Run up on LOON, he will fu*k u up.

Jay was real close to coming to blows wit sean paul at a club, but it didnt come to that as sean paul was afraid. " the gat that i clutch got a lil red light, NEED A LIGHT??"

BIG L was rocafella when he died. RIP.

*In No Particular Order

during a trip to the the old neighborhood, a man approaches memphis bleek, thinking it was a fan, he didnt think nothing of it, dude clapped him dead in his mouf & bleek was so stunned that he ran back to the whip with his hand on his mouf, a little later a team of big body black benzes rolled up & starten lightin sh*t up

i never said memph was puss

according to a thoro nigga i crossed paths with awhile ago, shyne is one of the most realest dudes in wrap

this cat sold drugs major & does have bodies under his belt, the life off his 1st LP is supposed to be very true minus a few exaggerations


jay spit this line in a track subliminally talking about 'pacs murder props to who can name that song

"while u at home screaming the fights on, i'm in the fifteen hundred dollar seats watching Tyson, SAME NIGHT SAME FIGHT, but one of us cats aint playin right, i'll let you tell it"

styles p wanted to fu*k up eminem because of the whole n*gger fiasco & almost did it while em was recording a track for jada's album

its rumored eminem trained with lennox lewis trainer

as if you didnt kno, nelly has the cokenose

lil kim suffers from low self esteem partly because biggie used to verbally & physically abuse her

the gotti kids(jerkoffs) once dissed lil kim so bad about her surgery, she ran out of the gotti mansion crying

Loons from a legendary family of harlem hustlers, so the only cats who diss him are the ones that have no clue he could merk your whole family

mariah carey is the token industry whore, rumors of everybody from 50 cent & eminem to puffy & mase have passed that ass around like a peacepipe

charlie baltimore sucked irv gotti's d*ck to get signed, this is her main talent & is the reason she's famous

needless to say, mouth skills are common so the bi*ch was dropped months later

-Freddie Foxxx has written and produced telvision commercials for numerous companies, including Red Lobster, Omnipoint Cellular Phones and Welch's.
-It has been rumoured that Foxxx was a writer on Salt-N-Pepa's biggest album ever, Very Necessary.
-He plays five different instruments.
-On a weekend he drove down south and sold his 12" singles out the trunk of his car for his overlooked but aptly titled '95 single "Do what You Gotta Do" and came back home with a couple of G's in his pocket.



some guy:
100% True Facts:

I live about 10 minutes from EMinem. his house is Sick, he bought it off former K Mart CEO. I can give you his address if you don't believe me.

Eminem used to work at a Blimpie's (not sure if 100% true but heard from many)

Kid Rock started out as a local rapper in Detroit

Kid Rock use to break dance, one of my high school teachers took a class he tought WAY before he was famous.

Eminem grew up in Warren, not Detroit, he lived North of 8 mile.

Royce 5'9" is from Oak Park

Obie Trice tried to buy my girlfriend a drink at the bar , she shut him down so he then went for her friend. He has a thing for arabic girls I guess

I stayed in the same hotel as LL Cool J when i had a bball tournament in Sheriville Ilndiana. He was on tour with Dru Hill. I was in the gym working out and LL was there and so was the newest guy from Dru Hill (he's from the last album). LL Cool J worked out while his body guard watched out for him. LL also worked out in clear sunglasses. LL was stuck up like hell but that guy from Dru Hill (I forget his name for the life of me) was the nicest motherfu*ker I met! Also LL is pretty tall, i'm 6'4" and he's probally around my height, but I don't think he's much of a thug from the impression I got.


50 Cent - How To Rob was in the movie In Too Deep... and appeared on the soundtrack... this was his first major exposure as an artist... also he had another song on the soundtrack called Rowdy Rowdy...

rza owns the rights to the wu-tang name

michael jackson owns the copyrights to the happy birthday song(happy birthday to you,happy birthday to you etc. etc) 100% true, if you heard it on tv, he gets paid

twista is a vicelord (do they still run chicago?)

one reason mase came back was because of this jay z verse

This is Jay, dissin Jay will get you Mase'd
When I start spittin them lyrics niggaz get very religious
Six hail mary's please father forgive us
Young, the archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all niggaz
They way y'all all follow Jigga
Hov's a livin legend and I'll tell you why
Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov's still alive


jeru the damaja was screwed by the industry so bad, he was spotted last year in manhatten delivering chinese food on a bike, not a motorbike, a bike

when he was asked what happened he says & i quote " you know the industry does you in"
if anybody on here kno him,ask him he'll tell you

shyne used up all his phone time for the next 6 months just to get at 50

Mary J b was an industry whore who got ran up by more nuccas than Jenna Jameson

know why Rocwilder ain't had a hit in years? Cause his ghost producer died and he used up the archives


LL cool j gets botox injections

q-tip produced a few songs on mobbs the infamous album under the name 'The Abstract' gohstface produced a lil of it too but i forget which track
nas also ghost produced which explains why the infamous was arguably their best album (i say hell on earth)

at the BET awards in 2004 Shells went up to Nelly an was like yo im on J records an I would like to work with you and nelly told him he doesnt think that will be possible

ive heard from many different people that elephant man has aids & he gave it to his baby moms, ppl tell me evrybody in miami knows this,can i get a confirmation?

kanye west dissed chad hugo(neptunes) in an interview with complex magazine because he feels his dress style is wack

chad hugo is from the Phillipines

while were on the subject, neptune beatharrel plays the melodies, basically produces the track. then chad goes in and adds little things here and there, tweaks it a little bit




the real reason shyne dissed 50

Is it a COINCIDENCE that SHYNE responds to 50 almost a YEAR & A HALF later and his ALBUMS droppin in a couple of WEEKS...Shyne could of got at 50 right after 50 said those remarks bout him in the freestyle and on the HOT 97 Morning Show a while back....Like it or not the bottom line is SHYNE is no DIFFERENT from 50 in that he is using his controvery and BEEF to sell records.....If SHYNE didn't have no deal or wasn't droppin an album I doubt he would of even used up some of his phone time to record that TRACK but instead would of used the phone call more useful like callin his mom and relatives....Everyone on here is calling SHYNE gangsta and everything but everyone forgets when SHYNE first got sentenced he was walking round CLUTCHING the BIBLE and talkin bout CHANGING his life and finding GOD...And I'm a fan of his music....

Redman got his name when a girl slapped him in high school and left his face red. (from his mouth)

J-Zone's first album was made for a school project, sh*t i wish i was in that class

talented producer Ayatollah (Mos Def, Screwball, Vast Aire, Cormega, etc.) wanted to do something else than just be a DJ, Tragedy Khadafi got Marley Marl to lend a shtload of equipment to Ayatollah, years later Ayatollah made a name for himself and finally Marley got his equp. back, its crazy if u think if it wasnt for Marley, there is no Ayatollah

this cat told me Marley Marl is married to the princess of Japan, that would explain why sometimes Future Flavas (Marley's radio show would be broadcasted in Japan) i still dont know if i belive this but if its true thats one royal family

Freddie Foxxx got his other name Bumpy Kunckles when he beat this dude down, afterward this girl was like damn, ure knuckels are bumpy as hell and the rest is history

another Bumpy Knucks story is after he dissed noreaga, noreaga stepped up to Foxxx outside of a club, norega started to talk sht bout Foxxx, Bumpy stepped right to Nore's face and was like what u going to do about it, Nore backed away like a bi*ch and hasnt said what what what since



Something I always found interesting is about Snoop Dog's name. A "snoop" is a word crips call bloods but yet Snoop is a crip.

What's the real story with Eric Sermon and the sketchy story a few years back about him jumping out a 2 story window after a girl he was messing with's man came home and surprised the both of them.

As much as I don't really like Camron he did a damn good job on "Paid in Full". Not a bad actor.

Threat supposedly whooped Cube's ass at a traffic light back in the mid 90's. Jacked'eem for his chain and everything. I'd always heard the rumor. And then on 1 of the Beef DVD's Cube never bothered to deny it.


-Redman used to DJ before he started rhyming
-Kool G rap is from corona queens
-Prodigy is from hempstead Long Island, not queensbridge
-Tragedy Khadafi used to call himself "Intelligent hoodlum" and used to spit very pro-black "conscious" sh*t back in the 90's
-Nore and khadafi had beef over money from the first CNN album.. Nore started saying Khadafi bit his style, Tragedy said he wrote almost all of nore's raps and nore got his style from him.
Listen to the old CNN album and decide if nore still rhymes like he does when he was fu*kin with Trag.
-Progidy used to rite some of havoc's rhymes, on early mixtapes around the time the infamous dropped, you can hear Havoc spitting rhymes which would later be used by prodigy on later albums.

brandon lee got murked doing the Crow

Gza: "Snake got smoked on the set like brandon lee...blown out the frame like Pan am flight 103"

flesh is in jail till 2008, he pulled an ak47 out of a fu*kin baby carrige and aimed at a friend or i think cousin of his because of an argument, so he got 8 years in jail for pullin an ak and leavin without hurtin nobody...

Macho Man had a diss record about Hulk Hogan

J.K from the SMACK DVD where Sire Castro battle Jae Millz, J.K. and 3 of his people's approached Kay Slay to give him one of his CD's and Kay Slay said "there's a certain way you approach the truck" and Kay Slay's body guard tried to stunt. JK and his 3 people pulled guns out and then Kay Slay and his bodyguard got in the car and pulled off

-Lil' Flip got shot once in Houston in a drive-by shooting.
-Ludacris was born in Chicago,not Atlanta.
-Prodigy Of Mobb Deep got robbed in Queens during the video-shoot of 'Keep It Thoro'

Beans and Capone have been shot by cops

It was in Felon Magazine around the time Stillmatic came out and Nas was talking about a conversation he had with Jay at a party.Jay told Nas not to diss Bleek and that Beans would never sell more than Gold.And that he was better than Big.This interview led to Sauce Money beefin with Nature.

Jazo was offered a deal with Rocafella but he declined because he didnt want people to think that he needed Jay same reason why Sauce Money declined a deal with them.And Twista was never signed to Rocafella.

in Superhead's book, she talks about how Puffy got Xzibit high off shrooms, and took him to a gay club... Xzibit was sober enough to realize after a while cuz he seen all the dudes in there and sh*t... so yea, Puff is certified homo...

The Reason Shyne Talks Like That Is Cuz He Got Shot On The Chest, And It Amplified His Speech

Fab is dominican, i read it in an Essence i think it was... and Paul Cain is his half brother thru his mother... Fab's father wasn't a full dead beat, but Paul's dad used to buy the both of them things such as shoes, clothes, etc. on the regular... and he really did sell drugs for a lil bit back in the day, but it wasn't outta necessity... dunno how tru it is, but i also heard that in high school he was mad quiet and always walked around wit a notebook, scribblin down rhymes...

- 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.

BG Knoccout and Dresta (from Eazy'z click) ran up on the Dogg Pound at a golf event (wtf lol) (i think nate to be exact) and started swingin at them with a club and everyone that was there (rappers, people etc) was runnin like bi*ches, nate got gangsta and started going nuts with a club

Daz is/was fu*kin Kurupts lil sister

Kurupt got with a girl Daz was tryin to Hollar at, then Mike Dean (rap -a -lot producer) said Daz was cryin and to comfort him by showin him nude pics of his wifey (tanya herron the singer)

1970 - The Last Poets, pioneers of hip-hop, record their self-named LP on Douglas Records, using a mixture of spoken word and jazz drumming and instrumentations.
While touring in Oakland, UTFO asks a young local MC named Too Short to open up for them.

In 1978, Kurtis Blow needed a DJ. Russell Simmons was Kurtis' manager at the time and his brother Joseph (aka as Run of Run DMC) got the job. He got his name "Run" because he could cut between two turntables so quickly

Kurtis Blow releases "The Breaks" on Mercury records (went on to sell more than a million copies).

1981-ABC's 20/20 shows the first national television coverage of the "Rap Phenomenon".

While touring in Oakland, UTFO asks a young local MC named Too Short to open up for them

The Fresh Fest concert tour, featuring Run-D.M.C., Kurtis Blow, Whodini, Fat Boys, and Newcleus, is hip-hop's first big money making tour ($3.5 million for 27 dates).

Houston, Texas native James Smith brings together "The Geto Boys". The original lineup consisted of MCs Raheim, Jukebox, DJ Ready Red, and Sir Rap-A-Lot. The group also featured Little Billy, a dancing dwarf who later joined full-time as Bushwick Bill. Following a short break-up in 1988, Smith called on local rhymers Willie D and multi-instrumentalist Akshun (later known as Scarface) to join the lineup.

N.W.A's follow-up record, 1991's "Niggaz4Life," sold 954,000 copies in its first weeks of release to become the first hardcore rap album to hit No. 1 on the charts, despite being banned by some record stores and seized by English authorities as obscene.

The best selling rap /R&B album ever in the US is CrazySexyCool by TLC which has reached sales of 11 million, surpassing MC Hammer's Please Don't Hurt 'Em which has sold 10 million units.

The Ice Cube/W chain thing was kind of close to truth. What happened was that he was working with KAM (he was signed to cube's street knowledge productions), and cube jerked him on royalties. After trying conventional methods to get his money, KAM resolved to "take it out of his ass". KAM's D.J., Solo, crossed paths with cube in the streets, and tried to have a gentlemen's talk about things. When cube tried to brush Solo off, Solo proceeded to beat the fu*k out of cube and snatched the 'W' chain off of his neck. There is a picture in Murder Dog magazine with Solo, Kam, and B Real from Cypress Hill holding the chain. After this happened, Minister Farrakhan summoned KAM, who's a muslim, and cube to Chicago to have peace talks. KAM speaks on this in the song "Whoop Whoop".

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. Saw some sh*t by an artist called "biggie smalls" and copped it thinking it was some new BIG sh*t, there was no picture on the cover. I got home and listened to it like wtf is this.

Krayzie Bone shot Wish bone wit a shotgun. His finger slipped, and they both denied that Krayzie shot him when Police arrived.

that rumor about curtis jackson using the name 50 cent cuz the real 50 had beef with preme is crazy. i wonder if thats true

that notīs true coz i know that some of the real 50 Centīs best friends used to do hits for Supreme back in the days, this was before the Supreme Team was at their peak. they talked about all fo that in an FBI files special on Discovery and the real 50 Cent actually died before the Supreme Team was at their highest point. but the real 50 Centīs friend(Hamocide)did shoot Curtis Jackson in 2000 though.
