Damn I don’t know about this one, rolling with a rapper is a good way to get to other celebs for their jewels. Seems like a risky business to be involved in if true. Police will bring up the Sebastian incident to try to build a case.

It was just a matter of time until he would be back.

In the video for his new hit single “Roc Boys (And the Winner Is),” Jay talks about a crew of Marcy hustlers called the Roc Boys. Were you a Roc Boy?
I have no idea what a Roc Boy is, actually. I guess that’s something new that they’re coming up with now. There was no crew back in ‘88; it was just me and him, so I don’t know how he got “Roc Boys.”

Does Jay exaggerate his drug-dealing in his songs?
I’m telling you he overexaggerates. He was there to see things, but doing some big-time Frank Lucas-type thing? No. He nickled and dimed, but nothing on a major scale. He definitely didn’t sell nothin’ in Marcy. Spanish Jose, who he mentions a lot [in his songs], was a friend of mine. Jay didn’t have no affiliation to Spanish Jose.

I think just like most rappers, Jay-Z has definitely embellished his hustling days.

I can tell you that 50 Cent has made numerous attempts at buying my friends yellow Enzo. My friend will never sell the car though. 50 Cent is in the process of looking for the right Enzo to buy.

Damn this one is interesting, both cars clearly have the same number on the windshield and the guy’s collection has all the Ferraris 50 showcased. I’m not one for rumors but the pictures are convincing. Either way 50 Cent could afford the cars if he wanted them, but is he frontin?
