Crazy how NY is, he had that kind of production because nikkas is like right around the corner from him, he had legendary rappers/producers coming in and out of his projects. I've only ever been to NY once for a short while, but I always thought the reason why NY hails itself as the "mecca" of so much shyt is because nikkas from all walks of life and talents are a realistic distance away from each other with that public transportation

uhhh it's the Mecca because that's where it started

Michie Mee.

Lyte looked older than her age when she first came out. I thought she was 22-23 but she was really 17. She looks great now, but I have to remember that she's 5 years younger than where I mentally place her.

That MC Peaches chick fell off big time. She look like some old church lady now.
