How do you feel about the original version with OC?
Jay-Z - Crew Love 97 Ft. Tone Hooker O.C 2006 - YouTube

hah OC was down with Rocafella management for like 2 seconds

there's another version of this....a longer one..where tone has another verse but he ripped both verses to shreds..also raps a little faster and more animated

"so asks me all the questions like the ouija/is you big willy? hell nah you's a side nikka like luigi" - i was like :gladbron: when i heard that..what ever happen to tone anyways?

never heard that

Yeah the other guy on the track is Tone Hooker (T-Strong), who was the other dude in Original Flavor. I think he fell back from rapping and started doing some things on the business side.
I remember reading rumors that Ras Kass might get down with Rocafella management around the time O.C. hooked up with them. I'm curious as to what path that would have led them down, career-wise.

Tone was nice. I think he remained with Rocafella in some capacity, but not as a rapper. Maybe a road manager or something, I'm not sure.

that was Ski Beatz group as an mc, only remember Original Flavor by name i do recall them being fairly corn

O.C. used Jay on a hook for that Bonifide track, always liked that. i dont think he would have gotten too much bigger, altho the extra exposure would have helped the 2nd half of his career
