- Rhymefest defeated Eminem in a rap battle back in the day

- The original cover art for Illmatic was Nas putting Jesus in a headlock

- Nas originally wanted Marley Marl to produce the entirety of It Was Written, he recorded a few songs such as On The Real but Marl kept throwing other rappers on the songs so eventually Nas went with Steve Stoute's suggestion to use Trackmasters

- Common's first album Can I Borrow A Dollar was recorded on a $1600 budget.

- To save money on studio time during the recording of Ressurection, No I.D. Would record beats on his answering machine. Common would call, listen to the beat, and write his raps.

- Dark Fantasy was originally meant to be the intro for The Blueprint 3 but Jay-Z decided not to use it

- Primetime was originally for Common, then Nas, before Jay and Kanye recorded to it

- Nas wrote his verse for Ghetto Dreams right on the spot on his blackberry after No. I.D. Played him the beat


- DJ Premier sent Big a tape with the Kick In The Door beat on it. Later in the day he went to go pick up his plaque for producing on Ready To Die and ran into Puff, Puff told him that Biggie wouldn't like the beat and to send another one. Later that night Biggie called Premier to come work on Kick In The Door and Premier was shocked saying "Puff thought you wouldn't like it" Biggie said "fukk Puff! I got some shyt to get off and I gotta get at your man Jeru"


- Oh Boy was originally for Memphis Bleek


I- Don't You Know was originally a Nas diss

- Welcome To New York City was originally for Freeway

- Prodigy was not initially a fan of Biggie. He thought he was corny and that Biggie bit some of his rhymes

yo ziggy was BIG going at JERU for that ONE DAY track where he dissed puff and big for being materalistic?

 

[DoomzdayzV]

- Raekwon and Ghostface once tied a dude up in their car and whooped his ass in the early 90's. Years later at the release of Shaolin Vs. Wu-Tang Raekwon is doing a radio interview and the guy calls up and reminds Rae of the time they whopped his ass

ahaaa let me clear this one up. That guy was one of their road managers on their first tour of the east coast in 93. Raekwon beat him to a bloody mess while he was driving them to their next tour stop, seatbelt on and everything, because HE ATE A SLICE OF RAES PIZZA BACKSTAGE. The gentleman who received this beating called up to the Miss Mimi Show on G-Unit Radio back in 09 to remind Rae and started throwin all kinds of threats at him.

LL intentionally invited Lennox Lewis (LL) to be in his video (forgot the song)..this was a shot at mike tyson. LL felt betrayed/hurt when mike appeared in the 2nd round KO video.

btw mike recorded a 2 plus min diss going at LL in response to strikes back..but was never released.

 

[NormanConnors]

What about Meth? He had The What with Biggie and Got my mind made up with Pac on AEOM

thankfully that Meth collabo didnt happen, Nas might not be here today.

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Pac wanted the wu tang on his new project..the nation project. Pac and RZA's brother were cool.

 

[Shogun]

Back in 88 Jay was getting chased through his building...calling nas's crib, and he aint even give Jay his number.

That would also make sense why he got the chain back for RZA.
