Ghost punched Krayzie Bone after he threw a drink at him at some event after the American Music Awards.

Steve Stoute had dudes/artists getting beat up inside the Loud offices on some Death Row shyt.

Kool Kim from the UMCs was the one who presented PM Dawn the night they got beat up, and he ducked out the back once shyt started getting hectic cause he thought he was next. Just-Ice and KRS brother Kenny Parker, who is about 6"7, were beatin dudes up something awful. Also...people in the crowd started stomping out the fat dude once he got thrown in.

The Ultramagnetic MCs were SERIOUS dustheads and took LSD as well. They would have shows where they were so dusted they couldn't even perform, falling over the equipment and shyt, just straight buggin out onstage.

Russel Simmons forbid Run D.M.C to be on Self Destruction.

Will Smith was gonna be on Self Destruction.

I brought this up recently in a KRS thread. I don't think Def-Jam wanted any of their artists to be involved in HEAL. KRS was saying 3rd Bass was supposed to be on the track too. I think the story was that DMC and JMJ were like "fukk it" and went anyway

Nas won

For real, why didn't Will let her do it?

Jada and PAC were childhood friends and there were rumors that they dated/smashed back in the day. Will wasn't havin that

Big pun use to eat the dry wall when he was young.

The reason Keith Murray never ended up on Who Shot Ya is because he was dusted as fukk in the studio and started acting real crazy so Puff got him outta there.
