Explain if you can

Lake stiffed the producers on the money he owed them. Had Mega looking bad for vouching for him.

 

[Swirv]

This is why the 92 crime bill is a nuanced subject. Predators like Lake needed to be locked up for the sake of the community.

Sure is, saved a lot lives and destroyed many too.

Lake could have ate with Nas and the Mobb...

But noooo, he had to apply pressure and use strong arm tactics to get what he wants.


I wonder how many copies did the 41st Side sell and if Lake had to run up in the Landspeed offices?

 

[KingsOfKings]

I remember in an interview Illa Ghee said one of the people Mobb Deep had around them told Havoc "I will bury you with your brother" and Havoc still kept him around. He said their people used to disrespect them in their face and they'd still have them roll with them.

So yeah...

 

[Frump]

Lakey really must have been a problem if he was extorting Mega of all people

Mega wasn’t the type of guy who usually gets extorted he was a problem himself

 

[Frump]

Never understood why he tried to fukk with them when the lefrak and Hollis guys generally showed him more love.He even lived in the Peru building in lefrak when he was in his preteens.

Makes sense with Hollis since it’s not that far from Hempstead.

Hempstead is only about 10-15 minutes from the Queens/LI border

Yep that same interview. nikkas from his hood were mad at him for not letting them rob Havoc when he came through Illa's hood in BK.

How did Illa feel about P? Was it a predatory relationship with P and Hav?

In the interview it seemed like he had real love for them but felt he got mistreated by them and they may have looked at him as like he was trying to extort them. He said he used to hold them down and make sure nobody really fukked with them, but he felt they should've helped his career more and also felt they should trusted him more. I think in that same interview he said something about them saying they don't trust him to be in their crib. And he was basically like if I wanted to rob y'all, I could've been robbed y'all because I always knew where y'all was at.

Can you blame them? What was Illa's rep in the streets? I never understand that "help my career more" Son, they put you on a bunch of songs with them. If you was that dude, your phone would of been blowing up with ppl wanting to work with you. There's only so much a person can do for you. Not like Illa is wack or anything like that, but he's not gonna have a bunch of people checking for him like that.

It seems to me that Illa figured it out later on. After the Mobb stuff, it seems he was able to carve out a nice underground career for himself. They put him on plenty of songs, a couple of videos, took him around other cities and let him spit on the radio shows. Perhaps they could've did more...and one can always feel that, but it's not like they didn't do anything.

But the stories of Mobb's extended entourage is crazy. There's always a story of someone around them talking crazy to them, yet sticking around.

P did a lot for Illa Ghee. He was on two songs on Hell on Earth originally, but then they remade 'Extortion' with Method Man for the final release. But he was still on 'Can't get enough of it'. They even had im3 on the intro, and they could barely even rap at that stage.

Then P fronted him a bunch of money to get his hustle on, he got caught with it, did 5 years or whatever.

Got out, they put him on songs, put him on ALC's big single (a massive look), P did a mixtape for him/with him (it's a good tape if you can find it still), featured on the songs to get him hot, tried to get him buzzing. Meahwhile they were all going through their own shyt, in fighting, label dramas, friends turning enemies, the music industry rapidly changing/shrinking etc.

You can't get someone a deal just because they want one, they gotta do it themselves, in the end I don't think they could do any more for him. Tried to get him ahead in the streets, tried to get him out of the streets, what can you do?

And like you said, Illa Ghee worked it out later down the track, but he'd already shytted on Mobb, both privately and publicly. He realised the error of his ways later down the track.

Thankfully he and P sorted their shyt out before he passed away, because Illa Ghee was there from day one.

Yea the hood mentality of having to carry nikkas is super toxic. Listening to Lake CRY on record because Nas wasn’t letting him extort him is embarrassing. Not everybody is going to be a star unfortunately but I truly believe Mobb Deep, Nas and Mega tried to do most everything they could to help they’re people and they got grief back because of it. We wouldn’t know names like Illa Ghee, Lake, Bliz, Wiz, etc without them being on million plus selling albums by Nas & Mobb Deep. Nashawn is the only one i’ve ever heard say that Nas doesn’t owe him anything and that even if Nas never spoke to him again that he gave him an opportunity to change his life and his family’s life and it was up to him to take it further.
