Jigga was in the entertainment industry since 88. Cam probably ain't meet Jay until 94 when the ROC was formed.

Dame and Jigga was legit partners. Any hustling cash and work came from Dame and/or Biggs.

I'm not saying Jay never hustled anything. He dropped out of school at 16 and probably needed cash....but he was in the entertainment industry running around with Rappers by the time he was 18 and could have a full time job. Jay did no more than a ticket scalper type hustle as a kid. When Jay was old enough to be charged as an adult for anything he was in the music business.


Jay claims he's a hustler not a rapper. But by his own admission he was sitting at the kitchen table writing rhymes as a kid....he had rapper dreams and then ran with rappers at 18.


Any dough Jay had available was from his business partners or from legit music business at age 18 plus.

Ah okay, so you're just kind of a dumbass.

Big Daddy Kane was blatantly against dope dealing. Aziatic black man that called out sucka MC's and was on a mission to get some skins....

Kane wouldn't have an active dope boy in his crew...he'd rather pay them to do something positive for the team.

Kane ran with HORSE and DOG

He was carrying shoe boxes full of stacks to pay radio for RD spins

He didn’t say he stopped hustling in 88, lol, he just highlights that particular year because that was around the time crack really got jumpin in NY, 86-88. I’m sure he was hustling that whole period you’re talking about

88 also rhymes in the song with words before...
