Jadakiss being announced signing to The Roc during Jay’s “I Declare War” concert and then forgetting his lines to All About The Benjamin’s (Saying “That’s Puff’s joint, put some of my shyt on” when he forgot) and then they put Time’s Up and he forgot that shyt too all in front of a sold out MSG

That was one of the funniest videos I’ve seen, but it’s been scrubbed from the internet!

That was a different concert years later.

At the time I heard that Green Lantern was the DJ and he was deliberately doing that to get back at Kiss for the whole video that made him have to resign from Shady records for his comments about Checkmate

Nas has several of these. Street's Disciple as we know it is a double album, but at one point, Nas scrapped the double album idea and it was a 22 track single disc. There was a planned sequel to "Get Down" on the album called "Get Up". It was supposed to be the first song. "Foul Breeze" (the Hi Tek track with the Busta beat), "Play On Playa and "Not Going Back" (both ended up on HHID) were all on the album. It also had two versions of a song called "I Am somebody" (one featuring Puff and remix produced by Organized Noize).

Nas also at one point had a triple disc in mind that were each based on the seasons. It makes sense, because Scarlet was originally named Winter. That's something else nobody mentions anymore: Nas rapping as a woman on two of the songs on Street's Disciple and people thinking it was Lil' Kim.

According to Salaam, they wanted to release the third disc, which was all dusty, street records.

In terms of the collective memory of Nas fans and Hip Hop fans most forgot or did not know about D.O.E Death of Escobar vol. 1. The project was reviewed in VIBE magazine.

BEANIE SIGELS 3RD ALBUM
THE B.COMING
DROPPED ON DAME DASH MUSIC GROUP

I swore this was the case and even remember DDMG promotion for this album (I was heavy into when it dropped) but all the shyt I see today on Discogs and shyt either lists it as Roc-a-Fella or Roc/DDMG (which makes no sense)

WuTangWorld.com and all the leaks that dropped on there between 2001 and 2003 that then got put on the J-Love Return of the Swarm series

Those tracks were dope but the albums all flopped (Deck's The Movement, Cappa's The Struggle, Tical 0, Birth of a Prince and the Ghost tracks never saw an album release cause he signed to Def Jam after all this)
