    The roots gave ? a lesson about this real hip hop ? :

    http://youtu.be/_qzacv8dtb4

    The original version with the subtitles: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6hni_the-roots-what-they-do_music

    Not sure why none of the youtube versions have the subtitles.

    edit: I think I found out why

    "Black Thought, Questlove and the rest of the Roots crew jumped ship from Geffen Records to Def Jam in 2005 after many disagreements with the Universal Music Group-owned label. And how did Geffen/UMG show how much they adore The Roots? They removed from the cut of the "What They Do" video that's currently on the co-owned-by-UMG VEVO and YouTube all of its funny, industry-critiquing subtitles. Way to ? the whole point of the "What They Do" video."

    False. It had something to do with Mack 10 or one of his boys either jumping or beating up Cube's wife's brother or something like that in Vegas or some ? . That's why he calls it "family issues", cuz it literally was.

    Where did you hear that or what made you assume that? Honest question.

    As far as i know Scarface has always been one of DMX's biggest inspirations & influence. He used to say that when he came out. DMX recently told the story about first meeting Scarface back in 1998-1999 & them ending up choppin' it up about real life ? like religion, prayer & all that. As far as i know Scarface have only spoken highly about X.

    You can tell that DMX has been influenced by Scarface by just listening to his music. Don't know why you'd assume that though.

    I either heard or read it in an interview with Mack10, that he had an issue with Cubes brother-in-law, and Cube took the brother-in-law's side....but i didnt hear it was about anything physical. If anything cube was making light of the situation, cause he said if Mack10 wants to do business with him in the future, "He's gonna have to bow down & kiss the ring".

    I want to know how the beef between EPMD and Rakim started

    I think they spoke about this on Combat Jack last year. Don't quote me, but if i remember correctly it wasn't nothing serious. They said they loved Rakim & it was only them playing the game were they were competing for a spot since both were from Long Island. Could be something else tho but who knows.

    They talked about how they went at LL on "Rampage" tho, the song LL was featured on lol. Then they discussed about how LL didn't do the video or couldn't do the video & that's why they had some actor play him without showing his face.


    Never heard this. Which verse is directed at LL on Rampage?

    yea i know dmx said scarface was one of favorites in that 'backstage' movie. i cant remember where i read it but face was supposed to have some lines directed toward x on a song on 'the fix'. i think it was the song called 'sellout'.

    but nevermind me.


    i've ask this question before but dont think anyone's ever answered it. does anyone know or care to know where ? c got the name 'sweet james jones' from?

    i wonder is there any validity in the rumor that some rap-a-lot dudes had g-unit hiding in their hotel room in houston some years back.

    Really? I don't know. Pretty sure he never went at X & vice versa to be honest.


    That i've heard but i guess unless you've been there, around or let them confirm it you can't really say if things like that are true or not.

    Did camron beat up canibus.heard it in a lne then someone reported it.anyone know the story

    This is old and it wasn't Cam it was one of his homeboys....

    You're thinking of the verse from the line in Take Em To Church (the Ma$e diss) where he chimes:

    "Blink so mad they went and beat up Canibus"

    The verse references when Canibus got beat up by Harlem goon Blinky Blink at his own record release party at some club (couldn't make that up if I tried fam.... SMMFH). Allegedly Canibus muttered something slick to him and disrespected him, so Blink went off and lit Canibus up.
    I remember Canibus on that collabo with Rakim spit a line like "wacker than Blinky Blink in that pink wagon ...". He referenced Blinky Blink in that video "Take me there" with Ma$e and Mya.

    Anybody know why Jay dropped Amil?

    Jay was ? Amil and when she got on that Rush Hour song she started thinking she was bigger than she was and he she flopped when they dropped her album
    And yeah the 1st shots at Def Squad were thrown by the Mobb on interludes.I guess it was because they were the top crew at the time besides Wu
