Jada got along well with Jay-Z, Beanie Sigel’s boss at the time. They recorded Reservoir Dogs and Blackout together.

Jada later signed to Def Jam under Jay-Z for his solo releases.

The line is also an homage to the LL Cool J line from The Breakthrough

Clever wordplay and double meaning.

  1. Jadakiss has had white fans before Dr. Dre singed Eminem a.k.a. Marshall Mathers

  2. It’s a reference to cocaine (base). He’s saying he had been selling coke for a while before Eminem was known.

It’s sad to say it but I think Jada got the white fans from the jiggy days and the BIG tribute song “We’ll Always Love Big Poppa”.

Jadakiss has a song called “Welcome to D-Block” which Eminem was featured on, I don’t know if it was released then, but it sure got Jada a lot of white fans and fans in general from Eminem.

Shoes are getting as expensive as guns. If you have to defend yourself, it is easier to use a gun than to try to run away.
