Some Hip Hop Facts You Might Not Know

I used to put this up on Saturdays, but I got sick a while back, and I just couldn't keep up. I want to start posting this it on Fridays now. You can use the search bottom on the top left corner of this page if you want to read past post in this series.


Anyway, below are 5 Hip Hop facts you might not know-






5.  In 1995, Tupac became the first musician to have an album at Number 1 while in jail; he achieved that with his Me Against The World album.












4. Back in 1999, when people were just getting over the deaths of Tupac and Biggie, west coast rapper, Kurrupt almost started another coastal war. He had been engaged to Foxy Brown, but she wasn't faithful, and he found that she had been sleeping with DMX. Instead of facing X squarely, he directed his anger towards the whole coast. And on his dis track, Callin'Out Names, he went at DMX, The Firm (Nas, AZ, Nature & Foxy Brown), Ruff Ryderz (cos that's DMX's crew)...and some other East coast rappers.




4.  Dr. Dre wears a fresh pair of Nike Air Force Ones every day.













2.  Before J.Cole got signed as a rapper under Jay-Z's Roc Nation label, he had a t-shirt with the inscriptions- "Produce For Jay-Z or Die" that he used to wear around.

1.  Drake and J.Cole are biracial; they both have Negro fathers and Caucasian mothers.
