Cormega Shuts Down the Myth That His Career Came From a Nas Shoutout

[Awesome Wells]

But Testament tho shelved and Realness are both after he was beefing with Nas so make it make sense...if anything nas was actively hindering Mega career behind the scenes during these years.

The Testament got shelved because Mega was threatening Mona Scott and other people at the Def Jam and Violator office because he was mad that he didn't have certain things he saw other rappers with. He didn't put in any work, but wanted all the flashy sh*t everyone else had, at the time.

He started buggin' and showing up to the office with guns and saying he was gonna kill everybody in there, lol. Nobody wanted to deal with him anymore. He had already f*cked up his spot on The Firm, and then after Violator did the compilation, he kept wildin'. He burned mad bridges. That wasn't on Nas.

He was on wax in 89, and he had a deal and woulda dropped before Nas had he not get locked up, theres no telling how big he woulda been had he dropped when he shoulda, he coulda had 3-4 projects released by the time Illmatic dropped.

Oh word, that's dope. I always thought the PHD album was his first appearance.

I mean, I can see how Mega is right about that narrative if we're talking about that half a bar.
