[Master Teacher]

the funny part is when fab and clue made up there own

lmao.. William m. Bonnie wasn't it. nikka fab always been over the top with the wanna be Jay shyt.

desert storm was great in those days tho

but yea Jay was on some other shyt wit that one.

William H Bonny was one of Billy the Kid's aliases, which Fab got from the movie young guns

 

[hoodheronova]

it was that and Iceberg Slim III. The whole reason was he was trying to reinvent himself cause the Roc was breaking up. Same way he went from lil Shawny or w/e the fukk it was to Jay Z.

He's always been tryna to reinvent himself. Why you think he named his sneakers the Shawn Carters. Jay Z plays chess but it don't always work out

 

[H.S.]

Actually I think he started calling himself this in the year 2000 B.E.

 

[Jack Trippa 3z company ho]

We all know when Jay does things like this its because he saw someone else doing it first and bit it.

[cornercommission2k12]

I saw the "B.E" and did

Then it dawned on me and I was like then

 

[Trajan]

no more Big Willie, my game is grown, prefer you call me William

That sounds like a coincidence. William is a just a more formal version of Willie...hence ''grown''.

We didn't hear of William H Holla until a few years later.

William Bonney was the alias of Billy The Kid and had nothing to do with Hov or anything related to Rocafella.

 

[BmoreGorilla]

I remember Heltah Skeltah saying William H before him on the Magnum Force album

True
