In this clip, Chuck D cleared the air surrounding a lawsuit against Biggie's estate for using his voice on the "10 Crack Commandments." Chuck D said he didn't personally sue Biggie, it was his co-writers on the sampled track and added that he wasn't bothered by the song being about crack like some have speculated.

Chuck D needs to be a regular guest. He’s a fascinating interview subject. So much life experience. And he’s ready to talk.

[@2Thessalonians1_7]

DJ Premier took Chuck’s line from PE’s song “Shut Em Down”. The Pete Rock remix was crazy. Premier used Chuck’s line for a Hot 97 radio promo, with the 10 Crack beat, which ultimately turned into the Biggie song.

[@Nebo888]

Hands down best Pete Rock Remix ever. On the low the next one is “Flow On” Lords of The Underground, that beat 🍌🍌🍌 then of course “Jump Around” and “Time 4 Sum Akshun” And don’t forget Pete Rock & CL “It’s Not A Game” which was a B side single, still 🍌🍌🍌🍌 and “Mecca & The Soul Brother (Remix)” 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Pete Rock & Camp Lo album is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

*That* lawsuit is why Lisa Bonet isn't married to Kravitz anymore. It was revealed that a uncredited songwriter (on the Madonna song) was somebody he wasn't supposed to be hangin' out with (a former Prince girl, Ingrid Chavez). "It ain't over till it's over." It's over, and Jason Mamoa smiles when he sees Chuck.

[@evolutiontail5697]

The song was kinda anti drug dealing. Can't trust friends or family, selling drugs at the house and not telling people how much money you got. Those rules are enough to deter some people from selling plus you'll either be dead or in jail.

[@sebastienc.2257]

[@sat1241]

Of course it wasn't anti-drug dealing don't delude yourself. It was a step my step manual to have a successful crack business. " Keep your family and business completely separated" and "never sell no crack where you rest at" This is a step-by-step booklet for you to get ymanual

[@misterservicepro9407]

With all due respect to the legend Chuck D I vividly reading a article way back in the days of you explaining why you sued Biggie estate for sampling your voice on a song about crack if I remember you were saying it wasn't nothing personal against BIG you said you will be damn if the record label profit off your voice for song with that subject matter

[@bamnjphoto]

I remember that also and I remember Chuck getting at Madonna for stealing that sample in Justify My Love . Now he trying to play it off LMAO

[@sat1241]

Made more morally complicated by the fact that Flav was literally addicted to crack at the same time. So if he had been hardcore about it people would have said you if didn't want your voice used to promote crack then why was your bandmate smoking it during the same period you recorded Night of Living baseheads. So he doesn't want to be called a hypocrite if his own band had no discipline and they kept a buffoon in the group because he was funny and attracted people to shows

[@scienz]

yeah he is backtracking and lying. Look at how he closes his eyes as he's talking about it. He can't even face his own lie lol

So Chuck D admits to having Ghost Writers Called them Co Writers

[@qwammienewsome1357]

A co-writer could simply say change this to that & that to this, they could be considered a co-writer. Ex: Chuck solo: I like Nike, but forget 'em..... Chuck's co-writer: I like Nike, but wait a minute, The neighborhood supports, so put some money in it.

[@jvnbrk]

Co writers are not ghost writers. Co writers will be listed on a song and they could of wrote any aspect of it. A ghost writer is not listed and not known of. Chuck never claimed to be the best lyricist and have writers. That be Drake,and he got caught

[@mrwoods22]

And sometimes producers get writing credit.

[@rasheemthebestfirstone3274]

Nigga the people that helped produce the beat were the co writers that’s what they get credit as, chuck D writes the verse

[@gotjuice9]

Gary Rinaldo is Gary G-Wiz, I believe... he was a producer for PE back then.. I remember there being a production team called the Grand Wizzards who did their music aside from the Bomb Squad on their later records, so co-writer credits can go to producers/musicians.

This is disappointing is voice was misused to promote selling crack rock and he's acting like he didn't care. On the other hand his band mate Flav was a crack addict so he might be accused of being hypocritical if he was to say he was mad about his voice being used to promote crack dealing. But if he was really real he would have said he didn't want his voice being misused and he didn't like Flav smoking crack either., that is the braver position
