There are stories though, these are what you are disputing :mjlol:.

“Uh uh I meant real stories”.

And what do you mean with heavy weight?
Same sentence as the feds?

The case stemmed from what government prosecutors described in court papers as a "concerted undertaking" to develop and maintain "a massive consumer market" for crack on the Eastern Shore, primarily Cambridge, between 1989 and last year.

That statement is about Emory and Dehaven, one of which was his main man and the other his junior that he left to give rap another shot.

Why would some OG get something from Jays best friend who he also lives with and runs a business with to give to Jay, instead of just walking across the aisle :dahell:

Top Gunna and Bacote were from what I know like Jay and DeHaven, partners in crime, but a few years older.

This Man Says He Kept Jay Z Out Of Jail In The 1980s

Jay Z diehards should recognize the name Calvin "Klein" Bacote. Hov famously rapped about the Brooklyn street legend on "Allure," off his The Black Album LP. The lyric was memorable and mysterious at the same time.

"I never felt more alive/ Than riding shotgun in Klein's green Five/ Until the cops pulled guns," Hov spits, without divulging much more info. Now the man immortalized in the line has come forward to speak on it. And though MTV News cannot confirm the veracity of the former street figure's version of events, Bacote claims to have saved Jay from a prison stint.

"That came from a case that he and I caught in '89," Bacote told VladTVin a video interview that was posted to the Internet over the weekend. "We were at a party; mayhem just broke out crazy."

Bacote, who recently wrote the book "Neighborhoods Under Siege: Neighborhoods Under Siege: Memoirs Of A Brooklyn Don," noted that the party was in Maryland, but didn't detail exactly what happened besides an alleged fight in which he, Jay and their crew of about a dozen were significantly outnumbered. According to Bacote, when all was said and done, he and the then-unknown rapper were in hot water.

"Long story short, Jay and I wound up being the ones who got caught," Klein alleges. "We actually got locked up, charged with [attempted] murder, [attempted] murder to maim, battery assault, possession of a deadly weapon."

Bacote went on to claim that he persuaded the victim to drop the charges on either himself or Jay -- but not both. According to Bacote, who already had prior convictions, Jay offered to stand trial in his place. "Jay was like, 'Yo, Klein, you been through a lot, I don't really have no record, I could take the weight of the case,'" he said.

Despite Hov's offer, Klein opted to take the heat because of Jay's rap potential, he claims: "I kinda thought of the man's career. I didn't want him to miss that opportunity."
