Beanie Sigel, Freeway &amp; Jay-Z passed on Joe Budden\u2019s \u201dPump It Up\u201d. Those I already knew but what I didn\u2019t know was \u201cGirls, Girls, Girls\u201d was originally for Ghostface. How dope would that have been!<br \/>\nFlipside was originally Oschino and Freeway.<br \/>\nAlchemist tells me that Rico Suave passed on \u201cFeel The Vibrations\u201d and he really didn\u2019t understand why (not Alchemist\u2019s reference to Flavor In Your Ear).<br \/>\nAt this point Just Blaze &amp; Alchemist school me on \u201cuniblab\u201d. We all know the Craig Mack lyric (\u201cJust\u2026like\u2026uniblab\u201d) but I never knew what uni-blab was. But its from the Jettsons.<br \/>\nI ask the duo the first time they heard one of their beats being played on the radio. Alchemist remembers hearing his joint on Stretch &amp; Bobbito\u2019s show, while Just remembers Mase\u2019s \u201cHarlem World\u201d (and people getting shot out of cannons) as the first beat being used in a video.<br \/>\nAnd finally I ask Just to break down the difference between Jay-Z &amp; Eminem in the studio.<br \/>\nIt\u2019s interesting what Just says about the industry being 40% about talent and 60% people skills.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Via <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thehiphopchronicle.com\" target=\"_blank\">Hip Hop Chronicle<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Previous: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blackouthiphop.com\/interview-with-just-blaze-alchemist\/\" target=\"_blank\">Part 1 of the interview<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the second part of my interview with Just Blaze &amp; Alchemist, I ask the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11590","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-interviews","category-videos"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pG6fW-30W","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11590","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11590"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11590\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11590"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11590"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11590"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
