2. Troy Ave Interviewwith the Breakfast Club
As of Troy Ave,itwas saidthat he onlystole the recordbecause he didn’t wantedtowaitonManolo
Rose justmake the decisiontogive ittohim, so he put mattersintohisownhandsand tookthe record.
Whenhe firstheard the record,he wantedto geton it.Everybodyknowsthatwhenitcomesto
business,youneedtositdown andtalkbusiness.ButbeingthatTroyAve refusestodothat, the results
came upto himthievingthe songandturningitintohis own.ManoloRose was kindof disappointedhe
didthat, butat the same time he didn’thave anyhard feelings,becausehe had otheroptions goingfor
him.He hadotherhit recordsand he still decidedtobe inTroyAve’s“All AboutThe Money”musicvideo
inorder to promote himself.EventhoughTroyAve didwhathe did,the resultsof himstealingthe
record helpedManoloRose be heard,andnow “All AboutThe Money”became the hottestrecord
throughoutthe summer. EverybodythinksthatManoloRose wasthrowingshade at Troy Ave ,but that
wasn’tthe case at all.He wasbasicallysayingthatwhenitcame to that situation,he could’vestarteda
beef withhim,buthe didn’t.Itwouldn’tmake sensetostarta beef if nobodydoesn’tknow you,so he
justdecidedtoletitgo. I guessthat we can all learnfromthissituationbetweenthemtwo,andIknow
whatyou thinking,youprobablythinking“Youcan’t trustnobody”,yesthat’sone of the lessons,butthe
overall lessonisthat…Communicationisthe keytosolvingproblems. If TroyAve would’vediscussedto
ManoloRose aboutdoingthe remix,thenManoloRose would’veneverbeenshockedinthe firstplace.
The resultsdidn’tleadtoanybeef,butall of itwas justa misunderstanding.I’veneverreallyexpected
for Troy Ave tosteal anybody’srecord, butI wonderif he stole the “DoMe NoFavors” songfrom
somebody,because thatwas ahot songtoo.
