He had the chronic, doggystyle, das efx, naughty by nature, that Paris album where he’s running up on the White House, special ed, and bunch others...I took them all to school on the last day of third grade.

I had every intention on paying them but back then money was always tight.

Vibe was getting paid to advertise for a company selling relicensed music, yes.
The jokes are the jokes, but the company was selling non retail CDs
How Columbia House sold 12 CDs for as little as a penny
“Larry: They would license the actual master tapes and the production files for the physical media from the major music companies. And they would be able to manufacture these records at a cost of about $1.50 or so each. In many cases, inferior pressings on vinyl and CD and you wouldn't get maybe the full lyrics and you wouldn't get the nice inserts and stuff and even the little booklets that were included in the CD were not quite as nice as the ones that you would get in the store very often.”

this is facts. I collect cds and I notice the difference in the actually quality of the jewel case and booklet. I got my ODB and Capone N Nore album from them. I think I got Wu Tang Forver from them too, but I remember that booklet being a good quality.
Those were the days
