During a recent episode of The Art Of Dialogue, record executive Greg Taylor sat joined the show to discuss a variety of rap-related subjects. During one of the segments, he told a story about an awkward encounter that happened over the phone. The story begins shortly after the deal for Jay-Z and UGK to collaborate on “Big Pimpin” was cut. Then during a call that was unfortunately on speaker phone, he delivered the news to Pimp C and problems started to emerge.
“I called Pimp on the phone like, ‘Yo Pimp’ … I got a million-dollar check for you and all we wanted was a $100,000. He was like, ‘Who’s that with?’ I said, Roc-A-Fella. He was like, ‘Ain’t that over there with JAY-Z.’ I was like, ‘Yeah.’ He was like, ‘Man, tell him to take that check and give it to 2Pac momma. He gonna be stealing all my sh*t,” Taylor explains. Unfortunately, he wasn’t quick enough at turning speakerphone off to prevent Jay from hearing it. “Yeah, [Jay-Z] heard him. Because I had to jump up and apologize for this n*gga to clean that sh*t up quick. I didn’t realize he was in the room. As soon I seen Hov in the room, I was like, ‘Ahhh.’” Check out the full clip of Taylor telling the story below.
