Any body got anything on J-Prince?

The author of the Pimp C book is intentionally vague about him.

So what he got his start in drug money? That's no surprise.
Plus, he's known for using intimidation and force to sign artists and keep them in his roster.
His label might be a front to launder drug money, which isn't that uncommon
people act like he's the head of a mexican cartel
Why the mystery?


To all those reading, everything i post is speculative fiction.

Well, you can find articles.....but they won't write a book on this guy til he's in the ground. You know he has a ranch,right? He's particular about a hog farm...(spoiler alert:

hogs probably clean up problems He gets people to apologize fairly fast

fcc

what he say bout devante?

he wasn't paying nobody, they was getting slapped up, he'd give Tim money to go get him something to eat and would count the change to make sure they ain't spend none. Tim and them would scavenge leftovers and was stealing top ramen to survive. devante sat on pony for a couple years. devante sole tim style on one of his Tupac beats.

oh ok, nothin' new i haven't heard with the exception of him sittin' on that pony beat for years

makes you wonder when exactly it was created and it's even more impressive because it still sounds so great

so did devante really produce pony since it's said he sat on it for a couple of years?

Oh my bad I ain't see that post. I think they said it was done in 94 and naw tim did it, devante just didn't think much of it I guess. Tim escaped the label and an exec heard pony and was like we need this sonh. Devante had ginuwine under like 24 hour surveillance though to make sure he wasn't getting away. It says they were in new york and ginuwine just disappeared into a big crowd and that's how he got away.
