There's an extended version of that song where Kiss, Styles, Sheek, Eve have longer verses. Not on the album though

@FreshAIG and anyone else who was there; what was the Camron/dragon situation like in real time? they were throwing subs at each other right? was that actually something?
Click to expand...
Yeah they threw subs

I remember Cam'ron being on Rap City and they mentioned the beef and him saying "I make grown man raps, he makes kiddie raps" or something to that effect.

I always felt parts of Cam's second verse on "That's Me" and his second verse on "Let Me Know" were towards Drag-On.

Hard body logo. Did they sell merch like Bandanas and Jerseys. They didn't or wouldn't sell as much as Rap merch now imo because the collector culture wasn't really a thing I believe in the late 90s like it is now. Could be wrong because no social media back then and very early internet era only being 3 years old basically

Yeah.

Especially bandanas. It was Ruff Ryders after all.

They even tried to sell some dumbass "hood" fitness videos trying to get dudes to do pull ups on street lights and how to have crack heads spot you.

All through the mail.
