One thing upsetting about growing to fame and fortune, is that there will always be someone in your past that will envy and hate you.
For Jay-Z that person is his former best friend and mentor Jaz-O. Last anybody heard from Jaz-O, he was apparently beefing with Jay. Now the New York Post reported that he will be releasing a biography titled "Empire State of Mind: How Jay-Z Went From Street Corner to Corner Office."
Here is what was reported....
"He was like, 'I shot my brother,' " recalls Johnathan "Jaz-O" Burks in a new biography.
"I was like, 'What the f--k did you shoot him for?' He's like, 'I told him to stop taking my stuff.' He said it was kind of an accident . . . but the situation got kind of crazy, and he just happened to hit him in the arm.'"
"He's done so well, many have forgotten he started as a street hustler from the grim Marcy Houses in Bedford-Stuyvesant who sold crack by the kilo, was nearly murdered by a rival and narrowly escaped jail after cops pulled him over when his car was loaded with cocaine. He later plunged a knife into the belly of a man he thought was stealing music profits from him. And yet, he never went to jail.
The biography by journalist Zack O'Malley Greenburg, out this month, provides a colorful reminder of the rapper's dark roots.
