Tragedy Khadafi was Havoc's mentor.

Tragedy helped CNN a lot with how to rap etc.

Tragedy and N.O.RE ended up going at eachother on records one time.

Lupe said Ice Cube helped make him mistrust women, Ice Cube wasn't feeling that comment.

Ice Cube has Khalid Muhammad featured on several songs.

Chuck D and Ice Cube are very cool.

KRS-One nearly dissed Ice Cube, started recording but scrapped it, he dissed Ice Cube in an interview though.

I.C.P started wrestling at one point, they got into an argument with Jim Cornette at a public venue too, it's speculated if this was a work or not.

Mr. Magic dissed MC LYTE live on WBLS in the midst of playing her debut single "Cram to Understand U" he expressed his displeasure at her aggressive slightly vulgar nature and stated "she sounded like a man" ..... (my older cousin let me hear the cassette..i got it somewhere)

WBLS would often broadcast live shows from the Apollo such as the Showstoppers aka Salt N Pepa and Dougie Fresh and The Get Fresh Crew as well as the infamous RUN DMC live at the Apollo session....which was littered with curses that Marley Marl and his boardman couldn't keep up with to bleep out.....



the concerts were the benefit of the fact that WBLS was owned by the same firm the Sutton Family who also owned WLIB and were instrumental in bringing Bob Marley to his first American concert appearance in NYC.

The Sutton firm led by the late great Percy Sutton had purchased the Apollo following it's renovation and abandonment by it's previous owner Gary Fisher who had to liquidate the institution due to his federal indictment and conviction of drug trafficking charges as a member of Nicky Barnes infamous Commission syndicate.

DJ Hollywood , a legendary pioneer in the turntablist craft of hip hop tells the story of giving him the opportunity to play many live historical sets at the infamous Apollo often opening for acts and being the intermission deejay for acts such as Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and The Commodores....

He also tells the tale of how during some hard times and an effort to make extra cash he approached Gary Fisher about "moving drugs" for him.....and Gary responded in a hostile manner..."your job is to play records and entertain ...and don't you ever fu***** approach me about drugs!"

Fat Joe witnessed Keith Murray punch Prodigy.

Prodigy dissed Fat Joe while he was with 50, they had a relationship before so Fat Joe felt disrespected.
