I gave you love from the heart – unlike the people surroundin you” – Cormega, “Love In Love Out”Ĭormega’s response to being played by people he thought were fam in those days was to record “Fuck Nas and Nature.” The song was an earthquake in the rap industry, and seemed prescient given the failure of The Firm artistically and comercially. I respect you as an artist though I’m no longer fond of you I smiled when I heard you on _Live at the Barbeque_ I was never jealous of you, in fact I was proud of you Which I didn’t do, cause son that wasn’t real I was out The Firm, unless I signed a production deal
That’s when it was clear to me there wasn’t no real love Then my boys disappeared, all fly and familiar You say you didn’t want it then you started actin funnyĪ picture of The Firm – everyone except me When I got signed to Def Jam, I offered you ten grand Now we enemies – ’til we entered the grave “You my nigga when you hot and when the temperature change It could have just been a simple misunderstanding – recording industry veteran tries to help a newcomer move up, but any chance of their friendship staying true died when Cormega was unceremoniously replaced by Nature in the Nas formed supergroup The Firm. On his release Nas welcomed home a soldier of his own hood with open arms, but what seemed sweet at first soon turned sour when Cormega wasn’t down with giving up control over his career to Nas. You see, this was no fictional character Nas inserted in his rap, but a true to life hustler/rapper who was indeed “holding the fort down” behind penitentiary bars. With those infamous words on 1994’s “Illmatic,” Nas singlehandedly gave an unknown Queensbridge rapper a large footprint to leave on the rap industry. If so then hold the fort down, represent to the fullest.” – Nas, “One Love” “Whattup with Cormega, did you see him, are y’all together?
