COTC was established
Mase was already signed, had a deal... Cam already wrote the verse for Cease...
Shit was already moving when Jim jumped on. Mase taught Jim how to rap, like he came in an established crew.
Mase and Cam doing a venture together and moving without Jim ain't the slight Jim making it out to be....
COTC was established as a crew yes but they weren't making any noise outside of the 5 boroughs. Big L was the biggest name out of the crew before Mase blew (pause) in '97 and I don't remember L shouting COTC when his album came out in '95. Even though he hasn't been around when Children of the corn was coming up he was still there when Cam solo came out which was '98. Cam was always shouting him out. On songs and freestyles before that album came out. He even had a verse on the album (which was terrible). He put the Nigga on a song with his moms.
Yes, shit was moving but Jim was around when Cam's solo career was jumping off. That's 26, 27 years. They damn near family.
