Ski Beatz is from around my way. He was on an independent label and he was a local celeb. Me and all the other wanna be rappers used to challenge him to battles. He actually went a few rounds with me in front of his Mom's crib in like 1990.

His name was Will Ski at the time and he had a crew: Bizzie Boyz. His DJ was ill Mixmasta D (now known a Dana Lucci). Problem was when Ski got discovered and moved to NY, they didn't want Dana cause he weighs about four bills. Dana been making Hip Hop from then til now and he produced some heat.

I was shocked to learn Ski turned producer, but I see why when I peeped Original Flavors early shyt. It was decent but Hip Hop was in it's Golden Era and decent wasn't cutting it.

I am so proud of Ski's legacy. He basically is the pioneer of NC Hip Hop

I met this lawyer the other day from philly who sued will smith twice and won. the first time was cause will lied in an interview and said the og street cat that signed him (cant remember his name) made will sign a contract by force. will said something like the guy put a gun on the table. None of it was true and it ruined the guys reputation so he sued will for slander and I think they settled out of court.

The second time was cause there was originally a 3rd dude with will and jeff. I can't remember this guys name but originally when they were on the way to the studio to record parents dont understand. They tried to figure out how each person gets paid so Will just split it into 3rds for 3 of them. They all helped write the lyrics for parents just dont understand and I think this dude even came up with the parents part. It was orignally like grand parents don't understand because Will lived with his grand parents. This guy had paperwork and everything so he sued Will for his cut and won. This lawyer said Will was an schemeing ass hole and knows how to put on the nice guy persona.

Gillie da kid told me Wayne would stay up for days on coke binges

50 Cent wanted to sign Gillie when Gillie got locked up but it was a shytty deal (ring tone era) so Gill turned it down

Diplomats got there name because they saw a diplomats car in New York. The car was parked illegally or something and the cop didnt give them a ticket. Dipset saw that this guy was some what untouchable so they used the name diplomats.

Chuck D gave Busta Rhymes his name after a football player named Buster Rhymes or something like that.

Cyssero from Philly used to help Game with some bars.

The Clipse did the Reup Gang dirty because of label politics.

Rawkus records got its funding from Rubert Murdoch because one of the owners is his son (James Murdock). This is same son involved with the phone hacking scandal in England with his dad.

Puff Daddy never put out E.Ness cause Ness owned his publishing.

Yea I forgot to add this lawyer said Ready rock was the cool/ladies man of the group. Will was kind of awkard and didn't have as much swag as ready. Will felt threatend and they like cut Ready Rock off or something.

This lawyer was there from the beginging he was in the room when Will signed his deal with that o.g.

Any info on why LL didn't show his face in the "Rampage" video? There was a rumor about him bein in a fight, but can't remember.....

Basically it was either Russell or LL being diva's. They sent an impersonator. EPMD speak on it on an combat jack interview. They were also going at each other on that track

Someone took Beanie Sigel's chain while he was sleeping at Roc a Fella studios, so when he woke up and saw his chain missing, he beat everyone into a bloody pulp

Just Blaze talked about it on his Power 105 interview.

Yeah, I saw this recently. Crazy story. Beanie beat the crap out of everybody apparently and Just said, he was lucky not to have been in the studio when it happened. That whole story was cool, the way Just told it.

Yeah they talk about that in the documentary about his life called "Still Not A Player". I got it on DVD. Apparently he broke his foot playing in a construction site or somewhere like that and got a half a mill check from the city. He bought his 1st apartment for him and his wife with that money and then yeah, spent a lot of it on food.
