Its funny listening to the interview. There's all these utban legends that surround J, & they're probably true. Word was that Arum had to buy out May from his contract. J Prince is that dud. You respect what he does because he does it low key. Acts like a don for real, how many people fear & respect him.
At the same time, I don't know why rappers still go to him. Other than UGK, I can't think of anyone who has left rap-a-lot happy.
devin did...and devin got fukked over by face, face the sole reason it was only one odd squad album ..he got in j ear to take devin under his wing, in the middle of the next odd squad album
the album got shelved and jugg mugg and blind rob started questioning why, they kept gettin the one more song response, then they sat back, next thing you know devin is in a new group..facemob
jugg n quest thinkin the hold up is devin now..because it seemed he went n joined a new group and it was tension, devin thinkin he was gone be a couple of tracks a featured, he didnt know he was joinin a new group...thats the reason why devin only did one facemob album
devin started wonderin whats up with the odd squad album, got no answers so he said know what fukk it, odd squad still finna eat, you cant break us up
thats why its nomore face on devin albums after the dude, and if u notice blind rob produced on every devin album on rapalot and the odd squad is featured on all til his final days on rap-a-lot
the songs j had in the vault, of odd squad got released on every devin album
they reinvented themselves as the coughee brothaz and rap-a-lot tried to put out a odd squad albums they couldnt because the songs was gone..
when devin left they scraped all the lil songs he had as leftovers n they put that out, it was a shiesty situation for devin but he came out winnin in the long run...
for as ugk
pimp n bun signed to rap-a-lot as solo art*tst, ugk as a group is jive, ugk died when pimp died, n strangely enough jive ended up dying too..
jive never wanted to put them out as solo artist
pimp locked up only nikka lookin out for pimp that was makin sure he was taken care of was lil j...so why not sign with the nikka who is keepin u n ya family straight..
pimp also started fukkin with j for protection, just like z-ro did(ro also was signed to 1000 other labels, that was releasin shyt all the time..rap alot short stopped that)
there is no ugk album on rapalot, solo albums yeah...but group..jive wasnt givin that up
trae another one, he left happy, because he signed a distribution deal, got his money and left
pimp died...his family had hell..to the point of nikkas tryin 2 strong arm his wife for music she has control of..that nikka mama had to get on stage n make appearances to get a lil bread,
pimp knew the lot was shiesty, his broad playaz album with too short, belongs to whomever jive sold their shyt too along with the v-12 boys with boosie nem, doubt its no more than 3-4 songs on that
