Got a couple of stories ive spoken on a couple of these already.
B.G.
Growing up in the South and especially in the N.O. it isn't uncommon to bump or see certain rappers. Back when i was in high school around my sophomore year, I met B.G twice. the first time i met him me and a couple of friends cut class and hit Canal Street ,for those that aren't from N.O or never have visited, Canal Street is like the place to go for shoes, clothes, etc. We had plan to hit an arcade in this section on Canal Street called the Riverwalk. So we cut class and hit the arcade called Pennyland. And afterwards we plan on hitting up other spots because their was this old record shop called Odyssey which sold cds. The guys i was with didnt have any money so we just listen to music. Heading back we see this silver bubble eye benz cruising slow as fukk ( the same benz he can be seen riding in the video for Hottest Of The Hot), me and the homies stop because around this time they were ALOT of robberies etc. Folks would catch a tourist coming out of a spot stick them up and hit the projects or hit the streetcar and ghost. But we see dude pull to a stop and he just leaning mouth crook like Bobby Brown with mad track marks on his forearms. Come to find out it was B.G. and years later i found out about his Heroin addiction. Classmates would always tell me about it and i would be like "Nah that just a rumor", but that shyt is still vivid as fukk.
Another time i met him was around the time he had this song called "Hottest Of The Hot". I remember because i always though the hook was weak as fukk
I use to live near a recording and movie studio. Dude was real cool and had a gang of females behind him. He actually ask me about the area because he claim "it was real laidback". A couple of dudes like Gar & Sniper were there, B.G. was jibbing at this BAD little Dominican broad (ironically she isn't nowhere in the video though). Dap him up and told him keep doing his thing. Ying Yang was out there too they had a local rumor that that were going to sign with Cash Money.......mad arrogant.
Chino XL
I use to live in Texas for about a year and a half and i was somewhat new due to relocating with my family. For the most part i had a solid job and due to me being "green", i work and hit the gym (my Job and the gym were in a strip mall). Around this time i slowly was becoming more familiar with Fort Worth , it live as hell out there brehs. And was 18 years old swole as fukk and was messing with a 34 year old name latina name Lluvia (sidenote: best sex i ever had
). So September comes around and my birthday comes up. And around this time i started hang out at this record store called Warehouse Music, dont know if its still around but it use to be near a Long John Silver & a What-A-Burger (both are nasty as fukk imo :scustcosby
. So a couple of days before my 19th my moms wound up taking me to the store to cop some cds and art supplies ( i use to graf back in the day) I cop 3 -
Bizzy Bone The Story,
Army Of The Pharoahs - The Torture Paper and
Chino XL - Poison Pen , because i had already heard about AOTP frontman Vinnie Paz on a Canibus album previously. And im a fan of Bizzy Bone .The Poison Pen cd wasn't in yet. And this guy told me to leave my contact and check back or he would let me know. So he calls me while at work and lets me know he got it in BUT also Chino would be their for signing. Wound up meeting him and he sign Poison Pen and kick a freestyle, which wound up being his verse for Beastin'.
Daz, Kurupt, Snoop & Soopafly
I use to work at a High school. And around the time i wound up meeting these guys this was right before Kurupt put out the BlaqKout album with DJ Quik, one of the little homies wound up spitting for Snoop. The video is actually on youtube. Daz was high as fukk either off weed or liquor...shyt possibly both. but he told me he actually had folks from Louisiana. This hungry ass nikka (munchies i suppose) also pulled me to the side and ask me where he could purchase some oxtails. Told him i had no clue. Me and Kurupt chop it up and i wound up meeting his girl...who i found out later was Gail Gotti. Telling me how he like to work with Battlecat and wanted to work with Lil Wayne. Security was deep and the Security were actually FOI. Soopafly was mad chill one of my co-workers mistaken him for Warren G
. And he gave this her this look
to her telling her "Nah that the homie". She hit dude with the most honest reply "Well I never heard of you"
(
) . Bruh Bruh walk off mad as fukk
. All these dudes were wearing blue on some Fly Kiwete shyt ( pronounce key - way .....Fly Crippin for the readers reading this) , with the exception of Snoop who had on a Chopper City suit and i remember this mexican being their with all these tattoos (how he got their i'll never know) but he was yelling snoop name throwing up gang signs. Snoop made the
and yell I see you cuzz.
Phone Conversation w/ Wu Tang Clan 4th Disciple
Years ago i was a member of WuTang-Corp. Over on that site they had section like the hip-hop shop , which would be like our Booth section and Know The Ledge, which is like our Higher Learning. I've stated it before on here but my user name came from a kung fu movie. Anyways i use to post ALOT in the KTL section. If you are familiar with the site this was around the time of users like Sunny Winters, V4D3R, Warpath (who i had a serious beef with) and food4thought ( a certified uncle tom) were on the site. I had made a post pertaining to the Moors and Ivan Van Sertima book, Golden Age Of The Moor and i left and came here (and the rest as they say id history) . But 4th sent out a tweet on twitter saying that i should get at him. I'll be honest i had a cousin hit him up because y'know folks want to see/hear if its really you or not. So i told my cousin to send him a message on FB (4th username on FB use to be Haaziq Bashir dont know if he still on it), but we wound up building at bit (really comparing notes) over the phone. And dude is
REALLY smart. He has some bad ass sons though...because every 5 minutes he was yelling at them during our convo.
Alicia Keys
Met her at the same place i met Daz , Kurupt etc. She was suppose to be performing at the Arena and she made a trip to the schools to talk about this non-profit organization she was involve with. Mad homies were jibbing at her and making googly eyes. She actually didnt even acknowledge them and glance at me cause i was being so nonchalant and say "Peace King" and i responded to her "Peace My Queen" our convo was mad brief but other nikkas was jealous. She receive a phone call and said "Now isnt a good time to be having this discussion, Look i going to have to call you back" with like an attitude. Right after this she start fooling with Swizz Beatz. She gave everybody hugs and shyt just mad friendly Honestly brehs that ass is phat as fukk and Alicia got these hips
Mystikal
Met him years ago in a Popeye's . I was sitting there and in walks dude wearing some lavender ass sweater vest looking like he is about to play 18 holes of golf w/ those Max from living single braids. Dude came in their with a small little entourage of 4 people and order. they wound up fukking up dudes order and he was in the place bytching. I spoke to him and dude dap me up. All i could remember was dude seem like a fukkboy and a sugary ass bytch nikka
Kidd Kidd
Most dont know this but i spoken on how i know Kidd Kidd. He is actually from my area (he is actually from off Mazant but N.O. heads know it as M- Zone) so I know him on somewhat a level beyond the rap shyt and i've known homie waaaaaaaaaaay before he was trying to get on. Kidd Kidd We use to call him black but he was a guy who basically contrary to belief was raise with practically a silver spoon in his mouth. He has two brothers , Carl (who looks exactly like Kidd Kidd) & Joshua both who i went to high school with. (Joshua was actually in my creative writing class). Kidd never really was the person you see him portray in his rhymes. And he has a reputation for those that know him as being a habitual liar. From Clouet to Mazant to other areas in N.O. He has a crew who he refers to as
Ryda Gang , what folks dont know is that the majority of the members in the clique i know or knew. Son was friends with a friend of mine from school name Tyson who we called G-Strip , i use to fool with his sister Sherika back in the day ( Readers Note: G-Strip is Galvez Street in the N.O.) & Young Miggity ( aka Mike Mike.). (Interesting Fact: In the exclusive edition of Dr. Dre The Chronic album Mike could be seen in the studio with Dr. Dre) He was mad cool but to this day Curtis (Kidd Kidd right name doesn't make any mention of Mike who was his cousin...G-Strip is suppose to be his fam too), but made a song about G-Strip...i don't know it just seem weird to me yall. May both of them Rest in Peace . I also remember Kidd Kidd getting clown and punk in the hood @ local block parties,etc (there was an incident which to this day he more than likely denied of him getting his ass kicked outside of Club Masquerade for mouthing off to some dude's girl) so the gangsta shyt is funny to me.
i have more but i post more later
