I meant to put this up a few weeks ago but completely forgot.

Real good read. Thanks MySpace (I thought you died years ago). Not a fan of the side scrolling though. And if this was already posted, please kill this off.

Great read. Thank you 4 bringin' this article to my attention!

In the part where Hank Shocklee is speakin' about Omar Epps learnin' how to DJ, he's talkin' about a dude named Cam-Ron. Is it the same Cam-Ron (Kamron) that was a member of Young Black Teenagers?

It had to be authentic. Otherwise, it wasn’t going to believable to the audience. So every aspect of the DJing in Juice had to be on point. The big battle scene in Juice was huge. There was a friend of mine, at the time, I knew named Cam-Ron. He was a good DJ that could also instruct. I put Omar in a room for a week with Cam. I said, “Yo, man…just give him the basics.”

YBT had ties with the whole Bomb Squad/P.E. clan, so chances are it was the same guy.
