Blu & Miguel are close friends. Miguel is featured on Below The Heavens a few times. They grew up together & went to the same high school. They’ve collaborated on J Dilla’s Jay Love Japan. Blu was a part of Miguel’s wedding a few years ago. Miguel also performed at Blu & Exile’s Below The Heavens 10th anniversary tour during the LA stop. He also has a song on Blu & Exile’s Miles & Blu’s God Is Good albums
Nas & Biggie was in a crew called “The Goodfellas” before both dropped their debut album and started to compete with each other
Jay Z thought Reasonable Doubt could really be his only album, so he tried to fit as much of his life in it as possible. He was deep in the streets and genuinely thought he may not be alive for too long, but he didn’t want to die without sharing his thoughts. That’s why his flow on this album is completely different and more serious when compared to his pre-95 raps. He then signed that deal with the dodgy label Payday bc no major wanted him, and released Reasonable Doubt. It’s also why he says he had his whole life to write that album specifically, and only a few years at most to write his others.
Another Reasonable Doubt fact, Wu-Tang affiliate Shyheim was supposed to be on “Coming of Age” instead of Memphis Bleek. He even rapped with Jay on Big Daddy Kane’s “Show and Prove” when he was 14/15. Also, Shyheim was supposed to record a track with Big L the night he died
