What happened to Magoo?

Disagreement with Timbaland as he wanted to go solo (Timbaland) and produce for a more mainstream audience. Pretty bad fall out which kinda left Magoo standing out isolated, shyt went as far as taking the music they did together out of print so Magoo couldn't get any residual off of it...another big factor was the Aaliyah situation as well. Missy, Timbaland, Ginuwine and co don't fukk with him at ALL. He's doing alright tho, he's still in VA doing RE and other shyt.

@The Hierophant As far as the Aaliyah situation..a lot of shyt is intertwined with her. She's the main catalyst for the bad blood between Jay Z and Dame. Jay loved Aaliyah but Dame was the one who was fukking her and ultimately was the one who gave her up, Jay has never forgiven Dame for this and it's the main reason why he snitched on Dame when he was trying to start up his own publishing company secretly. Timbaland, Missy, Ginuwine, Magoo, etc..knew what was going on..Magoo was the only one who was disgusted with it and this was what prompted Timb to cut off Magoo and go it alone.

Ah so Aaliyah was Dame's payment?

Nooooo:picard:. wtf

Penalty for Dame, Suge and J Prince trying to start up a publishing company without the necessary blessing. Jay alerted Lyor, Iovine and Matolla about this shyt after Aaliyah died in 2001. Jay got bumped up and the other three were penalized..notice that from 2004 to 2008, a bunch of shyt popped off. Rocafella being sold abruptly and Dame being sent into the outer reaches, Suge and Death Row goes bankrupt in '06 and the entire catalogue gets sold for pennies in '08 then right after that Suge starts getting into legal shyt. Pimp C dies in '07 in LA after having a meeting with Prince and his folks in TX.
