-Jada Pinkett was supposed to originally direct the "California Love" Video. Will Smith found out and shut it down. Years later Will Smith reached out to Dr. Dre for some music to use in Bad Boys 2, Dre and his camp ,et them use the song "bytch nikkas" as a secret little diss to Will.

- The "Doin It" beat by LL Cool J was originally meant to be Biggie's lead single for Life After Death but Diddy was delaying Ringo's payment. LL heard the beat and offered him cash on the spot. This is why in the background of the song you hear "GO BROOKLYN!!! GO BROOKLYN!!!". Diddy called Ringo later on screaming and cursing him for giving the beat to Uncle L

- Nas originally wasn't going to respond to Takeover, he thought the diss was garbage. Jungle hopped out of his car and into Nas car while at a light and convinced him to record the "Stillmatic Freestyle". Jungle's car was left right in the middle of the road

I could see biggie rapping on that beat

You're petty to write him off because of his past as a kid. Dude has apologize multiple times and has shown he embraces many cultures now. You grow in Boston as a white boy that was addicted to coke in the late 80s/early 90s and see if you're not racist at all.

I'm not petty to write off someone who abused and attacked black people, it's not a small thing to do. I know white people that aren't racist.

- J.Cole used to go by the name of Therapist and waited outside of a Jay-Z concert for hours for Jay to come by so Cole could give him a demo. Jay refused. Years later he heard Lights Please and immediately wanted to sign him

- Nas was originally supposed to be featured on the Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill album but never showed up to the studio sessions

- After Stillmatic Nas was going to retire after his next three albums, to be titled The Death Of Escobar, NAStalgia and Nas Writes No More, but eventually changed his mind. The Death Of Escobar album was reworked into what became Gods Son

- Will Smith wasn't in attendance to except the first two Grammy's he won. In 1988 Dj Jazzy Jeff & The Freh Prince boycotted their win for Best Rap Single due to the rap category not being televised. The second time in 1992 they won Best Rap Performance for Summertime but the duo didn't think they were going to win so they didn't attend. DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince were also the first rap act awarded a Grammy

- Michael Jackson once recorded an anti-crack song with Run DMC, who found Michael odd and couldn't relate to him, the song was subsequently shelved and never saw the light of day

- The Source originally wanted to award Outkast's 1994 debut album Southernplayasticcadillacmusic a 5 mic rating but Benzino was hating on Outkast and threw a fit to make it not happen

- Steve Stoute kicked Cormega out of the Firm, not Nas.

- reports that Pete Rock and Nas fell out because Pete Rock slept with Carmen are false. Pete Rock never met Carmen and doesn't know her. Pete and Nas fell out because Nas didn't use any of the beats Rock sent him for It Was Written, Rock felt slighted and was one of the so called "purists" dissing IWW when it was released. Nas didn't speak to Rock for 12 years.

- Reports that Jaz O had a hand in writing Ether are false. Jungle and certain Bravehearts members helped supply lines for Ether and helped Nas omit certain lines. There are reportedly 3 versions of Ether that had to be edited down to their viciousness, Swizz Beats is reportedly the producer of Ether's original version, which to this day has not seen public release

-During the height of the beef, Roc-A-Fella reached out to Cormega to possibly sign him but Mega, knowing that he was being used as a possible pawn turned them down

- Nas's secret nickname for Prodigy was Rat Face

- Havoc shot a Def Jam record label assistant by accident when he was 17, he had no idea the gun was loaded. The next day Prodigy allegedly visited the man in the hospital and convinced him not to press charges

"Death of Escobar" was supposed to come out before "Stillmatic". In was reviewed in "Vibe" magazine in 2000. Of Course Nas could've decided to reuse the name.

Snoop Dogg had planned to release the "Doggumentary EP" & "The Last Meal" in '97 after the disappointing "Doggfather" album. Songs from those albums turned up on "Dead Man Walkin" & "Snoop Doggy Dogg's" greatest hits.

He also had a movie called "Corleone's Revenge" which I don't think anyone has ever seen.
