In no order:

How they formed the group. They talk about what it was like on Bad Boy during the glory years. DMX being a legend in Yonkers before he got on, and talked about X went 5 times platinum with old material. A lot of X music that dropped during his big run was years old. Almost signing with Chubb Rock and doing songs with Main Source. The Sigel beef. The fight with Made Men and Benzino and how they needed police escorts out of the jail because Benzino had the building surrounded (they said Police were mad that nobody killed Benzino) talked about how much weight he held in Boston.

Very dope episode

Rap Radar has been slipping HEAVY in 2016...but this was a FANTASTIC interview.

And I didn't even love The Lox like that back in the day, but this shyt makes me wanna skim through their debut and listen to We Are The Streets.

@ bolded

Yeah, that i know. Alot of material released on albums generally are, usually recorded for their demo, so its low budget studios, engineers & producers.
Add in a bigger budget, a machine in terms of marketing yo shyt & re-record the music (with a few small added in or altered shyt) & there u go. I believe this is 1 big reason alot of people have come at Dre throughout his career regarding productions credit.

Yeah, S-P talked about some of what happened that day on Tax Season a few months ago. Funny it took that long for anyone of them to really tell what happened. Most knew about it, but that was it.
