Old crab shyt from bitter ass old niccas...common sense will tell you 99.9% of rap niccas lie about their influence in the streets. Nas spit about the life his friends and brothers were living, Snoop's name didn't hold any weight at all in Long Beach and Biggie was nothing but a petty crack dealer...if that. Niccas take experiences that may not even be their own and amp them up times a thousand for entertainment purposes...that's basically a foundation of hip hop.

Quan Reflects on the Pull of the Streets and Jay Z Before He Was a Star • FRANK151

You knew Jay-Z back when Jay was selling drugs. How did you meet him?

My friend Rel, we called him Relly, [he was] Panamanian, he was my childhood friend. His older cousin had custody of him. And his older cousin is Tone Capone, and if you’re familiar with Jay Z, then you know about Tone Capone or you’ve heard of him. His real name Enrique [Pascal], he’s like a big brother to me. And I met Jay-Z through them. The song that Jay Z made, “Song Cry,” was about Capone’s sister.

Long story short, I was on my way to prison, Jay’s on his way to the top of the charts and I just knew like, “I’m gonna come home, and I’m gonna get with Jay.” I came home and nothing was the same. He was a superstar, probably doesn’t remember me at all. So when I see him, he don’t remember little things. He probably don’t want those things coming up. Basically I went to prison and by the time I came home he was on top. Jay was on top and him and Tone were cool, but they wasn’t that cool. I saw Jay Z in the 40/40 Club and I told him that Nas was interested in me, and [asked him] what he thought about that. He told me, “Would you buy cars from a car salesman that has no car in the lot?”

AllHipHop.com: Let's start from the beginning. Before you went to jail, were you heavy into rapping and making music?

Quan: Yeah, I was rhyming before jail, like on the block. I'd write verses, and I was considered as one of the illest n***as in my hood. People talk about Rap music, but the music wasn't putting any money into my pockets like the crack was. I wanted it, but I didn't know how to get it. There wasn't anybody from my hood in the hip-hop industry, at that time at least. Jay-Z used to come around my way in Virginia a lot back then, and he didnÂ’t even get his deal until after I got locked up.

AllHipHop.com: Really? So you were cool with Jay-Z back then?

Quan: Let me break it down for you. When I moved to Bad News, Virginia, I met a friend of mine who became my best friend. Jay used to come to Virginia and f**k with him and my n***as, ‘cause they were dudes from New York. That's how I met him. His name was ringing bells, but he hadn't popped yet. People were in the hood doing what they were doing, and I end up getting locked up. People were trying to tell me to chill, but I was on that young s**t, not trying to hear anybody. I was trying to get that money. That sent me to prison, and this is right after Jay released “In My Lifetime.” I get locked up, and a couple of months later, he and Foxy Brown drop “Ain't No N***a.” At that age back then, I knew I could have ran with anybody, including Jay. My n***as in the hood were mad at me for that, for messing up and not taking advantage of my connection to Jay. To see him succeed, it let me know that this Rap thing is for real.


What made you choose the path to become and MC what artists influenced you?

Honestly I had a little bit of contact with Jay Z before he became who we all know as Hova today. Seeing another street dude, (he was older than me), seeing another street dude turn his life around you know? With the music like, you know? That was inspiration enough! That let me know this is for real and that I can do this you know, because around that time Jay Z started poppin’ I got locked up. So, seeing him catapult while I was locked up for all them years like that was inspiration like, “Oh J, look at J, look at them cats man!” You know we got mutual close friends so to see that, that was like a real turning point to me. But Hip Hop, you know the music in itself has always been a part of my life.

And?? :why:

None of that debunks what TOP GUNNA was saying in that video which is JAY WAS JUST A WORKER ...NOT A BOSS

Which is nothing to be ashamed of..he played his role...not everybody is meant to be a kingpin

And t the end of the day it worked out for jay

Id rather see SHAWN CARTER as we know him today the successful business man and critically acclaimed rapper

Instead of federal prison inmate Shawn Carter serving a life sentence for drug conspiracy charges he commited along the eastern seaboard :manny:

The term "boss" is relative tho. Everybody's a worker to one extent or the other unless you're THE plug meaning the head of a cartel. The cat that's supplying the block/crew is certainly the boss to the cats working the product.

When the hell has Jay said that he was a boss?

This nikka ran with real OGs like Calvin Klein how was he supposed to be a boss?

And it's hard to believe these two haters, why are the only nikkas that Jay disowned the only ones saying shyt like "he got robbed, I helped him"? Didn't the snitch Dehaven retract his shyt talking as well?
