The Hip-Hop Myths & Unanswered Questions Thread

Okay, we've since learn Nas and Big were close. Why did they never do a song together? And, that terrible song on Born Again doesn't count? Before you bring up "yall don't know about my Biggie war," Nas said himself it was friendly competition. So, it wasn't like they couldn't be in a studio together to put something down?

Was Big's man Lance, the same cousin Lance Rae & Ghoat was talking about on MGM?

in BIG's book there's a picture of BIG and Nas in the studio writing. Nas couldn't come up with anything and left, he was supposed to be on Ready To Die.

Kurupt said in the XXL magazine interview about AEOM that it was originally a Red, Meth, Kurupt, Deck track, but 2Pac heard it and loved it, so they took Deck's verse off and Pac put his vocals on it.

Lady of Rage was on the original too and she was taken off as well.

If Rae & Ghost had friction with Big, how did Meth and "The What" song come about?

Wyclef is in Rakim "Don't Sweat The Technique video," do anyone know if that's how the Fugees was put on? And, is Jimmy Henchman and Hatian Jack the reason Pac went at the Fugees?

Am, I the only one who remember when Rae & Ghost ran up on Bust at some NYC club?

Did Ghost really laid Mase out on the floor like the gay model Sebastian?

When the Sampled Law was officially passed, did all those previous heavily sampled Hip-Hop records get fined.

How does underground artist get away with all those sampled movie clips and not so obscured songs?

Is it true that George Clinton and Rick James never saw a dime from all their music sampled?
