There was a rumor in the late 90's that Q-Tip was going to start a group called "The Nasal Tongues" with B-Real and ADRock (Beastie Boys).
He (Q-Tip) wanted to start a group with Posdnous, Juju from the beatnuts and Afrika Baby Bam called "The Fabolous Fleas". A track or two were recorded but the whole idea never materialized.
Pete Rock originally made the beat for ATCQ "Jazz (We've got).
There are now 2 stories about what had actually happened.
1. Pete Rock says that he, Q-Tip and Large Professor were chillin in his apartment, and the beat was playing from Pete's drum machine, and while he was listening to it, Tip asked Pete if a record he saw near the drum machine was the one he used to make the beat. Pete said yes. The rest is history.
2. Q-Tip says that the three were recording a track together called "The Funky Man" or "The Funky Tip" (can't remember) and that he and Pete agreed to do a beat exchange, something like Large Professor giving Pete Rock the sample for "T.R.O.Y." (Q-Tip's words, not mine), so Tip took the beat for "Jazz (We've got)"

Both stories are sort of true... the way I heard it Pete was playing the sample and tip jacked it. Then he asked for the exchange afterwards... Thats why at the end of jazz he shouts out pete rock for the beat

I heard it was actually Bleek who hit someone from TS over the head with a bottle that night.

the way i understand it after hearing Marley talk about it a few times is they took a reel of their drums. so it wasn't his beat but the drums which were very specific and unique to Marley. Ced Gee had used those drums and pitched them up or EQd them a little to get what he wanted but it's Marley's drums.

Prodigy had a sickle cell attack on tour with Big Pun and Pun started crying seeing how much pain P was in.
Jay Z instigated the Cassidy vs Freeway battle...
If only Rappers these days were brave like that shyt
This rumor popped up far too much over the years to be false.
People don't know that Eric B was the east coast version of Suge Knight.
