The Other face of The Foundation; Lil Fame Reacts

Wow, their seems be a lot of misunderstanding around the new LP of M.O.P. lately. Funny, because it keeps reaching higher and higher… Yesterday I got the official DJ Premier mixed song of “What I Wanna B” that contains scratches that didn’t made the album. The tracklist of “The Foundation” is fucked up, Termanology needed to delay his shit with Lil Fame due to earlier release, Premo couldn’t finish all his tracks with M.O.P. due to the same problem and now this… Read it yourself in this personal mail from Rahaman Kilpatrick:

Back in September 2008, MOP, Joe Buddens, Termanology and Big Shugg came down to Sonar in B’more and me and my peeps go to the show. I pass out beat cd’s to Term, Joe and during MOP’s show I give it to Laze E Laze’s son who’s the hype man. Now, fast forward to September 2009 and I’m listening to MOP’s Foundation album on my way home from work and when track #9 “Rude Bastard” comes on….it’s MY FUCKING BEAT! Not the same sample, the SAME BEAT! Drum programming, sample, chops…the whole damn beat! Then my man Mills does the knowledge for me to see who got credit for the track on the album and it says “produced by Fizzy Womack”! So…I don’t get a check, I don’t get credit…I don’t even get co production credit! And I’m not looking for no “feel sorry for me” or none of that hoopla…I’m just asking for cats to let ANYONE who ya’ll know who loves hip hop to know who did the track so I can @ least get credit from my peers (hip hop fans and other producer’s grinding out there)for the beat. I’ve been grinding @ this beat thing for YEARS and for my first placement for a major artist to be a jack move…it just ain’t right…but it is what it is…like I said do me this justice and @ least let the hip hop heads ya’ll know that the bol Kil from Philly gave MOP THAT heat…not no fucking Fizzy Womack…

Me personally believe every word of it, but what should I think about it? I think it’s besides the Premo bootlegs one of the lowest shit I’ve seen, reminding me of Puff Daddy. Give credit where credit is due is like a law for me, that’s why I’m posting this. If you don’t give a shit, ok. Lets move to the next post… If you are a beat maker you should try to think in his situation. What would you do haha, spread it! Shame on you Fizzy, shame on you! Hope you read this… You must be stupid thinking this wouldn’t come out lol…

Here you have the official Preem track “What I Wanna B” with scratches that didn’t made the album due to rush problems I guess.

UPDATE: Fizzy Womacks aka Lil Fame OFFICIAL reaction via kevinnottingham:

Its true I didn’t do the beat “Rude Bastards” as Kil said….I heard it, it was hot and I rhymed on it…I’d never steal a beat, that’s not me…and the quote on the net is not from me I’m looking into who made that statement as me

Laze (M.O.P’s manager) was handling the credits, I gave him the info for who did the beat.

I just saw the finished artwork and my 1st comment was, “I didn’t do that beat why does it say I did”? (Ref. To “rude bastard”)

-Lil Fame aka Fizzy Womack of M.O.P.

Then I’m also asking like Lil Fame who the hell wrote that reaction on my blog? I even had emails from Brownsvillians who threated me via the other side of the world. If Lil Fame and M.O.P. wanted Kil on the credits why didn’t he got any call from them, I mean if you produce a track you should hear a preview? I think the reaction is kinda lame in my point of view. There is basically nothing changed, it’s jacked, straight up and down. I won’t allow any more reactions because the place for discussion is moved, this is the place: okayplayer.com! And on that note, I miss Teflon.
