There was a concert in Philly where the Lox and Beans were dissing one another. I remember hearing that. So the concert thing made sense.Well It seems quite possible that all @up in here had to do to duplicate the file was copy and paste. He claims he went all out and remade the files over in the newer Acid File software. Which would be silly.
But it doesn't even matter because the concert audio was so blatantly forged, there's no way that this longstanding rumor could have been based on that audio. And let's not forget...NO ONE EVER CLAIMED THE "ROCK THE BOAT" AUDIO WAS FROM A CONCERT. All I ever heard was that it was good quality, over the Jigga That N!gga beat (or similar upbeat beat) on a mixtape. I'm pretty sure dude tried to do the audio without the crowd noises (so the audio he created matched peoples account of the Rock the Boat line) but the impersonations were so bad, he had to throw the crowd loops on there to make it, what he felt, somewhat believable.
I was thinking that also. That @Frida Giezman poster is fishy too. Could be an alias. Small amount of posts and most are in this thread.
Plus the fake tape is of such horrible quality that it's hard to say what's what. That's what @up in here was going for.
