there were also money issues as far as i remember. joe received a large advance for the terror squad album but payed the rest of the crew only peanuts. the 24k album suffered from being not really cohesive and overly radio friendly. if it would have come out, i think it would have been received the way jadakiss debut was received. a talented mc that offered a lacklustre, watered down product. anyways, no rapper should have signed to atlantic. all of them got either shelved or sufferd from lack of promotion and albums that were all over the place.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
Mind blowing how every weed carrier in every other crew could drop a record but not Cuban Link.


Murphy Lee, Rampage, Drag On, Turk, Tray Dee...



Hell even the fat guy from D 12 got an album out.



Shiits ridiculous cuz Cuban could rap not only circles... But planets around top tier emcees. Dudes chain flow was up to par w Puns. Wordplay was amazing. Tons of strong vocab and excellent delivery. Mic presence was official.


Joe was a hater. I dont give a fukk.



Everytime i hear Links verse on Bet Cha Man Cant Triz, im like... What coulda been.

Atlantic blew a mil on it. You'd think they'd try to salvage something from that

I wish they would squash it, may not ever happen though, it crossed some boundaries...

What I'll never understand is why Atlantic would shelve 24K when Cuban Link had Still Tellin Lies blowing up (I think the Neptunes did that beat).

I don't think he woulda been a huge star but at least he coulda got a gold plaque out of that

I didn't like the "Still Tellin' Lies" beat, and I was jeffin' The Neptunes real tough...

"Flowers For The Dead", doe.

I think Cuban coulda been a star, he was killin' chit.

It can be sorted ...Ok they fought, nobody died..killed..etc..
it can somehow build a bridge..possible..
this has to work with the Rios family as link is like family to them also..

After the lawsuit was settled it's probably slightly more likely, if Liza and Joe can squash it 1 day maybe Cuban and Joe can after.

i was rooting/supporting cuban heavily..he was a dope artist..his trigger flow rhymes was just nasty..
also rooted for Armageddeon!!

I was fuccin' wit' Terror Squad at that time...they were one of my favorite collectives.

In my opinion, they were the last mainstream group kickin' that NY boom-bap, crate-diggin' funk.

i saw them all live on few occasions..good times.
they were fukking wild but had crazy chemistry..
pun and link were inseparable..
Pun died was the nail in the coffin (no pun (no pun) ...

Not too long ago link was asked for a terror squad reunion. Link turned it down, and said he could never do it. I might be wrong but, but I believe Armageddon and Joe ain't on the best terms as well. geddon still in the bx hanging on the corners and shyt. :mjcry:

From what I heard I don't believe he was asked, I wonder what the response would be had he been asked...
