Q: What’s going on between you and Nas?
A: There’s nothing going on between me and Nas, as long as Nas keeps it like it is, ain’t nothing going on. And I’ll say that to say this. Nas don’t come to Queens Bridge. As long as Nas ain’t in my face, then everything is beautiful, but if Nas is around me then something could happen.
Q: So what happened; you had a beef with each other, then you’ll did the QB album and now you’re beefing again?
A: This ain’t like the Nas/Jay Z or Biggie/2-Pac beef and Shan/Krs-1. Nas knows Corey, Corey knows Nasir...f**k Cormega and Nas...Nas mom recently passed, I’m hurt by that, I’ve seen Nas mom thousands of times. In my heart I have love for Nas and I’m pretty sure it’s vice versa, but it’s just that....we have our differences. The first time we had our differences it was with the Firm s**t, it was over money, if I had paid a production deal, I would have been down with the Firm, but I didn’t. But we squashed our differences, that’s the only way that we were able to be on the Queens Bridge album. If we didn’t squash our differences then I would not have been on the Queens Bridge album......This is where we fell out again. First of all I’m out of town in North Carolina. So I fly back to New York to do the video. In the QB video I have no jewelry, I was keeping it real, so Nas the nikka that’s such a balla comes on the set, he had rented jewelry, from Jacobs (all them cats stuff was rented.) So Nas gives me his chain and bracelet, rented. So I’m wearing the sh*t, Horse lets me hold his chain. So as soon as that scene is done I give Horse his chain back and I still got Nas’s chain. To make a long story short, the video goes on for hours and hours. At the end of the video this cat named Dula say,”Yo son, Lenny looking for you.” Lenny is Horses brother, he’s an A&R. It’s 4 o clock in the morning, I know why Lenny’s looking for me. So I gave Dula the jewelry... so that’s the end of it (or so I thought.) Then I see Horse and he starts saying something about the jewelry, so “I’m like yo son, I gave it to your man,” ( so he’s like ight..) Now I think to myself did someone put an A.P.B out on me, cause, I got more paper than everybody here, except Nas. So now here comes Nas, and he’s leaning towards the jewelry subject, I’m like don’t even go there son...I gave your peoples the jewelry...I’m like son why y’all cats coming at me like this, we grew up together...like I’m grimmy now, regardless of our rap beefs or whatever, I ain’t never been no derelict or anything...so why y’all coming at me like this...he is like na it ain’t even like that. So, now my feelings are hurt, but I’m not sweating it, because peoplehave the right to be paranoid. When I get in the limousine. Horse comes up to the window, and says “You sure you gave my man the jewelry?” So I exploded, I got out the limousine and said you dudes are crazy!...Nas is like it ain’t even like that...I said “Yo son, you know what, suck my dikk!!!”...I said it just like that too his face...The n!gg@ turned his back and walked away...and I was addressing him and Horse. I regretted doing that, but at the same time, I didn’t give f**k because he forced my hand...so I got in the limousine and left. Since then me and Nas haven’t been cool.
Q: ....So hold on, when you recorded the QB album were you all friends?
A: Yea we was cool, when we was recording. Me and Nas beef was dead, we was talking on the phone for hours, like brothers, if Nas was to have beef at that time, I was riding with him..We was cool again...but boom....so after the sh*t with the jewelry I was upset..he brought the beast out..you disrespected me..so when I told him too suck my dikk...we should have just got it popin right there...then maybe everything would have been cool..but he sped off....Then this is what the cat does (now mind you, I told you I’m not feeling Chris from Violator) he gets Chris to manage the QB Finest project. On the QB Finest album I rhymed on the “QB Symphony”, “Straight out of Queens Bridge”, and if you look on the album credits on “Straight out of Queens Bridge” it was co produced by Cormega. I wrote MC Shan’s verse. Chris now controls payment and wants to pay me $5,000 for everything. What do I look like, I smoke crack. This just made matters worse.
Q: So from there he made the song about you?
A: Na, from there he made that sh*t getting at Jay-Z the sh*t off the Rakim beat, in it he said “corny Ass Cormega..” Then I made a whole song using that same beat, and I went at him hard. So then I forced his hand, he had to try and dis me...The last time he could ignore me because I was a nobody. I had no album out...But once I put out the Realness and the streets was gravitating toward it, I had a story in XXL and cats are now feeling me. He had come back at me and attack my street creditability...And for him to go at Jay-Z and not Cormega would have made him look weak cause I went at him hard.
Q: So what do you think of “Rebuild and Destroy” on Stillmatic?
A: The song is cute, but come on, he’s lying. Ok I got shot, but everybody know that I got shot in a shoot out. What are you talking about, mind you at the end of the song he says why are you never shooting. Now why you saying this in 2002, you mother f@^King right I’m not in Queens Bridge projects shooting in 2002. You couldn’t say that in 97, 98, 99. I’m now the C.E.O. of Legal Hustle for 2002 and on, I will not be in Queens Bridge shooting... So the cat was frontin...the part that bothered me is when he said “Cormega suck my dikk”, I was like oh s**t, when you tell a man that, that means you want it...that’s straight disrespect. If you do it to my face that’s different, I’m a handling it, but to do that on a song that millions of people are going to hear. One day I pressed one of the Braveheart cats after “Build and Destroy” but he bounced in a cab. I’m like if we got beef we all have beef. Then later on that day I felt bad because the member I pressed on of the Bravehearts is a good cat. I passed word to tell him I apologize and want to apologize here because it ain’t him who I have beef with. I can’t beef with him cause he is Nas’ man. I’m just going to handle the beef when I see Mr. Esco.
Q: What’s up with you and Nature?
A: We cool, we doing shows together.
Q: How about the rest of the QB cats?
A: Me and Nature did have a disagreement, but now we are cool. Mobb Deep, Havoc is a good cat, Prodigy I lost respect for him. Nas sh*ted on that cat, and Prodigy just bowed down.. I don’t respect Prodigy. I respect him as an artist, but not as a man. Another thing that made me lose respect for him is that I seen him on a hip hop website where they asked Prodigy why did Nas dis you, and he said,”Because I guess I did a song with Mega.” So it’s like you making it seem like doing a song with Mega is the reason you got sh*ted on. Handle your business P that wasn’t gangsta. Most rappers from Queen Bridge are cool, it’s just that certain ones be frontin’.
