They tell me all this shit how they found out. I didn’t know fucking Wayne was listening to “Questions” on the “Gang Related” soundtrack. was in jail, and the white boys were playing my shit. I didn’t know they were paying attention all these years. And KRS-1… When Sway and King Tech first put me on “The Anthem”, and I ran into Eminem, and he knew me, and all these motherfuckers knew me! I felt like I was just an odd man out. I could not believe when I started doing shit like Paid Dues and Rock The Bells that Raekwon would come up to me like, “I love your shit”.
