Although the group arrived on the scene with a big splash, they never ended up releasing an album together. In 2014, Ja spoke to MTV News about the formation of the supergroup and how egos complicated things.
“We tried to deliver that album. It was a situation where egos all just played a part in its demise. We couldn’t get X and Jay in the same room, from long ago, their storied battle on the pool table, guns out [and] all of that. That carried over into our careers and we were all trying to do our thing separately and it carried over.
It was hard to get all of us into a room to do what we needed to do. We did a few records together and those records will always be classics to a lot of people in the history of hip-hop. I wish that album would’ve came to fruition, it would’ve been real dope… I think there might be one– one or two joints that’s still out there that y’all haven’t heard.”
It’s funny that Ja mentions the infamous mid-’90s Jay vs. X rap battle at a pool hall in the Bronx, because X actually references it again in front of Jay. Even in 2016, X doesn’t forget the slightest details. “You know, I still gotta get you on the pool table, man,” he says. Apparently in a nostalgic mood, X also quotes back to Jay the latter’s verse from one of the few songs the trio actually did together, Ja Rule’s “It’s Murda.”
