Great track, from the "Bait" soundtrack (good movie too). Check out the track and tell me what you think about it.
Somebody tell me what the fuck happened between Joe and Cuban Link?

If I can recall correctly, there was a brawl at a bar somewhere in the Bronx I think. Joe and Link were having a discussion over who knows, things got heated, fists were thrown and in the fight Joe slashed Cuban Link's cheek. You can see the scar in a lot of Cuban's recent pictures...

It's a shame those two fell out. They made a nice combo on the mic. I have to say, I haven't been playing a lot rap music the past 6 months or so, but one album that's often in rotation is Cuban Link's "Chain Reaction". Pretty solid album. Some fillers here & there, but overall...you can clearly tell that Cuban's a talented lyricist who's good at making songs for hip-hop heads AND songs for mainstream audiences (Sugar Daddy - ft. Mya).

Why Me is dope as hell btw.
I like that Fat Joe line about Tupac in particular. "If Pac was here would these niggas be shinin', Would half these rappers be rapping so violent?". I often wonder that myself too...

Btw: just stumbled upon a - what appears to be - recent video in which Cuban makes a guest appearance:

Yeah, they make a nice combo. The first Terror Squad album is great, the second one wasn't really "Terror Squad". There's been some talk about that Joe owed Pun money and everything. Dope video of "Why Me", didn't even know there was a video for that track.

Anybody got that "High Blood Pressure" in mp3 ?

Yeah, supposedely it's got something to do with unpaid royalties to Pun's wife. It gets mentioned in that other video I posted too...
