Half a mil documentary

[Awesome Wells]

I met Half early '95 up at WNYU. DJ Mayhem was really trying to help him get his career off, so he would be up there freestyling every week. Mayhem was working A&R at Penalty Records and was doing stuff with Capone and Noreaga, so he was trying to sign Half. Dude would kill every single freestyle he did! DJ Scratch started making tracks for him after awhile. He's from the same projects. So we used to have tapes and tapes of his stuff that nobody's heard before. He had one called "Make It Hot" that I still play today. The Roots came up one night, and played live in the studio. And Natural Elements, Sadat X, Lord Tariq, Black Thought, Dice Raw, Malik B and Half all freestyled for like an hour back and forth. Good times.

The doc was depressing. You never really know what someone's life is like, and I didn't know dude was dealing with all of that. He definitely had the talent to take things to the next level and be successful. Really sad story.

Keyser Soze intention
Glide in a hummer with the flying saucer engine
Willied out at my crib, in the winter havin cookouts
Smack my whiz, look out
I'm like Barnabas, crab nikkas tryna conquer us
They mad, cuz they jump outta cabs and hop on the bus
Cop wit us, Firm clique rock the whole Metropolis
bytches who burn dikk, won't put a stop to us
nikkas who turn snitch, gotta run
Coward you ain't a part of us

i still remember this line from the snippet on Pieces of a Man

Why did he sign with Warlock records? Coulda did way better on a real label. Seems like they were jerking him anyway. If you're gonna get jerked, go big. And where was his management? Dude was doing alot of phone calls himself that someone else shoulda been doing
