Irv Gotti reveals truth about Jay-Z & X, distrubution deal and much more (45 min)

[clairvoyance]

they had "in house " beefs...i remember X dropping a track full with subliminals on a flex tape ,going at ja ...it took a while til people made that connection

IRV was the man back then
i dont know if people remember when "the pledge" was first played on the radio ...i had chills when nas said
" Nas ,i stood alone but now ..." ja voice "it´s muuuuuuurda"
he kinda punked them lol but that song is a classic ,they made it seem for a second that murder inc was untouchable

suge was starting the new row,rap a lot was connecting with the inc ...If only they could have stayed out of trouble

I can dig it.....................

That "say it again" talk was kind of scary. Every hiphop/r&b radio station should air out this interview. Nice drop.

This shit is ill.................

 

[Nah Son]

Very interesting interview Irv seems to be a cool guy. I love this kind of interviews that reveal some inside backstage stuff that no one knows about. But I felt a lil bad for Sway cause he couldnt interrupt Irv for asking his questions cause the man kept talkin and talkin lol

 

[7thwardslim]

im like 15-20 minutes in........ i wish Ja was there......this shit is fire......now we need Jay-Z to stop being the bitch a million niggas say he is and drop a real interview....

lmaooooooooo @ him shitting on Lloyd. "He got hit by a car? word? Let's go get something to eat"

damn @ that gotti/prince/knight situation

the feds didn't want that shit to happened

ya boy woodface was doin 2 much SNITCHIN lol

Good interview, great job-interview.

You can tell Irv has a passion for the culture, he would have been on top of the game if Shady/Aftermath/G-unit didn't turn the public against him.

The last thng these greedy devils in suits want is a rap-union and rappers controling the distribution.....they won't allow us to cut them out completely.

i disagree u give da euromath/shady/ggggay-unit 2 much credit cuz we both know ja rule had a BIG COMEBACK da greatest comeback n hiphop history imo n 04 AFTER get rich or die snitchin ruleyork made woodface KISS his azz CRACK wit NY that murder inc/rapalot/deathrow collabo was gonna whip da euromath/shady/gggay-unit bitchmade mpire out thatz y J PRINCE was n ja rulez NY video 2 let woodface know that he is down wit MURDER INC & he h8z SNITCHZ thatz y he ran da ggggay-unit outta HOUSTON & look@ SUGE dissin woodface n 05 wit JA RULE @ da MTV AWARDZ afterparty...

ims sorry Gee, Ja had no power after 50, he just faded out, Murder Inc was never a threat, ur re-living history

Em was still in his prime in terms of popularity, u think a black man who cant sing to save his life was gonna end Dre/em/50?

how do u ignore Ja's constant mumbling ass singing, ruins a lot of his songs

Irv is well respeted and is mad rooted in the music biz. He use to go by the name DJ Irv back in late 80s early 90s. Actually the first nigga that put Gotti on was Jaz-O. He introduced Jay to Irv in London and Irv got the name Gotti by Jay-Z. He met Preeme when they was shooting a video 4 the song "Get the Fortune" in Southside. Russell Simmons speaks highly of Gotti. Between 1995-1997 Def Jam had lost over 20 million dollars. Enters Irv Gotti and by 2001 he had made Def Jam Over 250 million dollars. Russell owes his life to Gotti cuz without him he wouldnt have made that 100 mill that polygram gave him when they bought Def Jam. People forget that Gotti used to charge 250 gs for a beat back in 02 and 03. When the Feds came knockin them bosses over at Universal and Polygram (who Gotti knows very well,Edgar Bronfman Jr is one of em) stopped fuckin with him Jay-z did evrything in his power to help Gotti but the bosses over there didnt want to risk bein investigated. After the trial Edgar Bronfman Gave Irv 40 million including 50 % ownership of his masters. Niggas forget that Gotti and Ja had 50 % ownership of Murder Inc so best believe thet CAKED OUT! That rumour about Rule bein broke is BS. Double XXL magazine or the source once had an article bout Ja rule and Gotti bein worth almost 80 million dollars.

If yall really know the story bout Gotti go back to X first album Its Dark And Hell Is Hot. Irv produced the whole album under his company Top Dawg productions.
