The first time I heard of Irv Gotti was his production credit for Mic Geronimo’s “Shit’s Real” single, back when he still held his DJ Irv handle. Soon afterwards, Mic G dropped his album on Blunt/TVT, and his labelmates were a group called Cash Money Click, a three-man crew of little talent featuring a kid called Ja Rule, Chris Black and 01, who had a single which had the same as beat as Show & AG’s “Next LeveL (Remix)”, although nowhere near as good. At this stage, you could consider CMC as Mic Geronimo’s weed carriers, since he had a few minor hits at the time, and featured a shitty song called “Time To Build” with DMX, Jay-Z and Ja. (more…)
The new issue of Vibe, with Jamie Foxx on the cover gives props to hip-hop blogs and specifically name drops this here site, A Salute to Weed Carriers.
I, and my weed carrying brethren appreciate the mention, though this doesn’t change the fact that Vibe carries weed for both XXL and Complex Magazine.
The Guardian has an article about weed carriers. The writer is sloppy, and I doubt some of the facts, but I thought this was funny:
“Mad, bad rapper Xzibit has a designated weed buddy whose job is to smoke “the chronic” with him during interviews, so he might have hilarious exchanges about being “high as a motherfucker”.
Crazy.
At the bottom of the article there’s a list of rappers and what their carriers do.
