[Sinister]

Damn this shyt brings me way back I didn’t even know what ecstasy was yet

Bone thugs and Harmony put me onto it

 

[Striving For Greatness]

"Irv lookin like , flabby and sick"

 

[Bondye Vodou]

An' Em, whats tha du-rag for?
You neva gon' have waves, you'll never know black pain
but you can become tha first white rappa slain.

Em ya claim ya mother's a crackhead and Kim is a known slut,
so what's Haley gon' be when she grows up?

Eminem lost, Ja won

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

This was always super corny too me, especially Em acting like Pac. This got so much radio rotation on Memphis radio and I learned how corporations really control hip-hop because it's no way a freestyle diss song is supposed to be getting heavy airplay like that. I knew then it was over for Murder Inc and they had no shot of winning with the deck stacked against em.


Because Ja dissed Violator Management, who managed 50 & Busta. Busta and Violator Management head Chris Lighty were super tight.

In January 2003 gunmen ran up in Violator Management's offices and shot up the lobby. Then the very next month Busta's truck got shot up outside of Violator Management's offices.

Murder Inc took credit for the shootings when Ja dissed on "Loose Change":

I'm the rapper that sings, totes guns and blings
And these Fed's can't discuss 'em
Cause Lighty's "Violatin" us, usin his powderpuff
(fukk you man) cryin bytch to Russell like:
They shootin', ah Chris ya shook
And got Bus' rhymin the same old hook
Like, they shootin, I ain't shoot up ya land
I'd a put ya in the coroner van

That's why Hail Mary was released. Here's a Billboard Magazine article from 2003 about the song.

Crazy part is Chris Lighty & Irv Gotti were super close before the 50 vs Murder Inc beef because they came up together early working at Def Jam. Ja was even on the Violator Management compilation albums.
