And he paid the connect back in unprecedented time...From the 1st to the 5th?
Oooowheee challie...
If true, He was a bad ma'fcka wit the coke.
That's an understatement my dude. Dude must've been a Wizard w/ the white. But, I mean, its plausible depending on how much money he had stashedaway. He coulda had some sort of mean @#+ stash...You know he said he "Came in the game 100 grand strong, 9 to be exact,from grinding g-packs", So one would assume that he kept a nice little stash. If you take that money + the money he made when his supplier frontedhim again after he lost the bricks, then its not too far fetched that he paid him back in 5 days. But I dunno, you know how rappers like toexaggerate.....

I do respect the fact that he was heavy in the game but a lot of what he says does seem like gross exaggeration. You know how people can tell a story andjust use artistic license to stretch details for emphasis. It may even just be the fact that it wasn't all his life. I just kinda don't believepeople without personally seeing things...Not that it's impossible, I do the same thing to pretty much every rapper. Some of my favorite songs, Idon't believe the rapper is even being truthful about his life at all.

i always took 1st to the 5th as: ie - may 1st to june 5th...meaning 3 separate pay periods in the hood (1st - 15th - 1st again)
instead of 1st to the 5th in the same month

what i want to know is..
folks say Jay claims to be "this or that" some king pin, frank lucas etc etc
besides this line, where do folks get that assumption? post lines.

He's frontin . .. He was talkin about "I used to move snowflakes by the OZ" . . . If you was movin OZs who's the dude that was hittin you offwith 92 BRICKS?? That's a huge jump . . . I doubt he was bubblin like that, that's quite major, if you get hit off with 92 bricks, lose them forwhatever reasoon (I'm sure that has to be a entertaining story in its self) then you're back on your feet THAT fast?? @@!@ Azie wasn't gettin emoff THAT fast . . . He maybe had 9 OR 2 bricks, not 92 . . . No way . . . I'm not buyin that for One Minute . . . And this is what early 90s I'dimagine, cause he came in the "game" in the 80s, so he had to be well established to be gettin hit off with over 50 . . .
Klien prolly was gettin my the flock like that, not Jay tho . . .

That's more realistic . . . I can see Klein gettin hit off like that, and maybe Jay was in charge of a certain amount . . .
It is 92 split 3 ways, between Brooklyn, Trenton, and VA . . . So who knows . . . It makes sense mathematically if he was splittin it between the 3 . . . Causehe could've got off 5-10 to a few crews in each spot . . . 2 weeks later back on and so on . . .
I guess we'll never know, but with the info alone it sounds like a stretch . . . But then again there was cats being hit off with 70+, just local stars . .. Cats the public will never know about.

Brah we all know Jay was not moving any weight but it's a great song. He is a story teller, like Stephen King.

that _ aint lose no 92 bricks. i wont deny he moved weight, cuz its pretty obvious with people that vouch and all tha other logistics, but 92 bricks? nosiree bob.
but like someone said, rappers use a lot of exaggeration. its a great song nonetheless, but me and my _s always start stalefacing the track for like 1.5 secswhen he say that 92 brick line

word...that's all I'm sayin is that Jay-Z aint lose 92 bricks...he has the nerve to say this is before rap, this is all fact after that.
Well maybe he did and that's how he was tryna run Def Jam...I'm sure he dropped more than his fair share of bricks there...
(I know it wasn't all his fault at Def Jam, don't bombard me with reasons why Jay-Z is the best exec ever, thanks)

That's a tall tale tho . . . He aint have to say 92 . . . He could've said 22
To add insult to injury the *$** dropped on 9/11 . . . Coke prices was outta control for a while . . . "For 35 a gram, how the +!!+ I'm supposed toblow up?"
