Taken from nas first wife book:
Nas used to have weird episodes where he'd jet and no knew where he was, she said she found him in an appartment he secretly had in Long Island jus writing mad rhymes with pages everywhere
the reason Nas was unfocused during the Nastradamus recording was because that's when he found out about her cheating on him with Jay
she said that when she was with Jay he'd ask her weird questions about her and Nas, like what positions Nas liked to hit, and weird stuff... she said Jay-Z was obsessed with Nas but Nas hated jay from day one
Lmaooo wtf

A Tribe Called Quest & OutKast were planning a collab album together for after “We Got It From Here...”
Biggie and Jay-Z were planning on forming a manifesto rap supergroup called “The Comission” with Diddy and a couple other Bad Boy affiliates.
Jay-Z initially tried to pursue Aaliyah before Bey, but backed off after seeing how much Dame Dash cared about her.
When Biggie met MJ for their collab, he broke down in tears in front of him and kept his composure just enough to tell MJ how much his music meant to him.

That little boy grew up to be Nav.
T-pain recorded akons “locked up” version and called it “fucked up”. It was so bad that Akon personally pulled up on him to confront him, but at that time t-pain was flipping burgers at Burger King and Akon felt bad for him so he signed him to his label. This is the polished version but what he recorded was apparently horrible. There’s also an interview about it with Akon and tpain
