:damn::ohhh:
Yea he spoke on it in an interview (with Ahh if I'm not mistaken) said he already knew what it was when they tried to talk to him about it. Said he had respect for Jay but would rather stay on his independent grind...

Some more facts


- After Illmatic dropped and Nas went on tour, he and Jungle would come home with suitcases full of money. He didn't have a bank account until sometime after I Am dropped, Nas would keep suitcases full of money under the bed at he and Carmen's apartment

- After Nature's diss to Nas called Nas is Not dropped. Nature got his head stomped into the curve in Queensbridge for rapping that Nas didn't take care of Ill Will's mom and she was still broke in the hood. Nature then moved to Marcy

- Jimmy Iovine had several conversations with Nas throughout the 90's trying to get him to sign to Interscope

-Black Thought was going to release a solo album called Masterpiece Theater but decided not too once the label informed him that it wouldn't count against the Groups contractual album agreement. That album became the group's Phrenology

-Method Man threatened to kill Wendy Williams after she revealed live on air that Meth's wife was suffering from Cancer. Her own family members didn't even know at the time..

- Ghostface Killah was a major dust head and would wild out and whoop nikkas asses and do crazy shyt. Dude wasn't allowed at any hotels or motels so one time an executive at Loud records let Ghostface spend the night at his crib. Ghost was hungry and got some Kentucly Fried Chicken, two days later the exec went to find that Ghost had buried the Kentucky Fried Chicken box in his back yard

- RZA caught a body and got off on self defense

- 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

- Ghostface and Raekwon wrote their verses to Verbal Intercourse on a beach in Hawaii

- Method Man was supposed to be on Suspect off It Was Written but he and Nas could never connect

- Rae and Ghost hated Biggie and didn't want Method Man to collab with him on The What but Meth didn't give a fukk and thought Biggie was dope

- Biggie wanted Dr. Dre to produce on Life After Death

-Ludacris started out as DJ in Chicago

- Scarface wanted to an album with Ice Cube and Nas

-Nas was in the studio while Kelis and Andre 3000 were working on a song called "Hip Hop Is Dead and R&B Is Dead" he liked the title and stole it, hence 2006's Hip Hop Is Dead

According to MC Search, Russel Simmons refused to sign Nas to Def Jam in the early 90's because he sounded too much like Kool G Rap and Kool G Rap doesnt sale records


According to Carmen Bryant Nas and Beyonce were fuking after the "You Owe me" Video and she found out when Beys number fell out of his pocket when she was doing his laundry and when she pressed him he tried to play it off but his lie was see thru and that ace under the sleeve was the real reason Jay squashed his beef with Nas
"It's some ghetto secrets i can't rap in this song..."
:ohhh:

The entire genre of "Hip Hop" might not have existed without Jamaica

Would Hip Hop Exist without Jamaica?
It depends. The rapping part would have since people like james brown and pigmeat markham were rapping before rappers were. Pigmeat markham was actually flowing like a rapper and he lived in the bronx a few years before rap started with the dj's doing their toasting on the mics which makes me wonder if people tried to imitate him.
Jamaicans might have started the dj culture though but dj's in brooklyn were doing the same thing with the big speakers in the late 1960's, although a lot of west indians lived in brooklyn as well so there is a high chance they brought over the dj element into hip hop.
