Section 106
AllHipHop.com: Let's start from the beginning. Before you went to jail, were you heavy into rapping and making music?
Quan: Yeah, I was rhyming before jail, like on the block. I'd write verses, and I was considered as one of the illest n***as in my hood. People talk about Rap music, but the music wasn't putting any money into my pockets like the crack was. I wanted it, but I didn't know how to get it. There wasn't anybody from my hood in the hip-hop industry, at that time at least. Jay-Z used to come around my way in Virginia a lot back then, and he didn't even get his deal until after I got locked up.
AllHipHop.com: Really? So you were cool with Jay-Z back then?
Quan: Let me break it down for you. When I moved to Bad News, Virginia, I met a friend of mine who became my best friend. Jay used to come to Virginia and f**k with him and my n***as, 'cause they were dudes from New York. That's how I met him. His name was ringing bells, but he hadn't popped yet. People were in the hood doing what they were doing, and I end up getting locked up. People were trying to tell me to chill, but I was on that young s**t, not trying to hear anybody. I was trying to get that money. That sent me to prison, and this is right after Jay released "In My Lifetime". I get locked up, and a couple of months later, he and Foxy Brown drop "Ain't No N***a." At that age back then, I knew I could have ran with anybody, including Jay. My n***as in the hood were mad at me for that, for messing up and not taking advantage of my connection to Jay. To see him succeed, it let me know that this Rap thing is for real.
You knew Jay-Z back when Jay was selling drugs. How did you meet him? My friend Rel, we called him Relly, [he was] Panamanian, he was my childhood friend. His older cousin had custody of him. And his older cousin is Tone Capone, and if you’re familiar with Jay Z, then you know about Tone Capone or you’ve heard of him. His real name Enrique [Pascal], he’s like a big brother to me. And I met Jay-Z through them. The song that Jay Z made, “Song Cry,” was about Capone’s sister.![]()

Big himself said Hov made him nervousa better meme would've been "if Biggie Never Died Jay-Z would be where Fabolous is at now"
