Irv Gotti gives a little history on the relationship Jay-Z & DMX had in the 90’s. Gotti reveals to MTV Rap Fix that things weren’t always what they appeared to be.

On a collaboration record called Time To Build which featured both DMX & Jay-Z along with Mic Geronimo, & Ja Rule, Jay took some stabs at X. (Video below)
