April Of 1998
New York
Trey:
My man Russel wanted me to fool with these cats from Harlem or some shit. Three guys trying to make a name for themselves and a living and I ain't mad at that. Apparently they formed they on business called Rocafella. Like I'm down but I have been hearing about this dude Jay Z. Plus I got Puffy handling my group in Miami and I got this new girl group called "Destiny Child" I gotta work on
"Yo Trey, there's my man. Meet Shawn Carter he go by the name Jay Z, this here is Damon Dash and Karem Burke but they call him Biggs.", Russel says introducing me to them
"I was wondering can you help me with my next album, we gonna call it Hard Knock Life pt. 2.", Jay smiled and he looked star struck
"Yo I'm down, y'all Rocafella cats seem like cool dudes anyway.", I say as my shirt hang loose and pants are baggy and I got a Nike head band covering my eyes
"That's good man.", That cat Damon says with a grin, he look like the one who called the shots
"When y'all wanna get started.", I say sitting down ready on their terms and mines
"How about tomorrow.", Damon says clapping his hands together
"That's cool, that's cool cause I'll probably got a song for you Jay by tomorrow.", I say nodding my head
"Word, ight B, can you meet us here or at yo company.", Jay basically said while asking but at least he knows respect
"We can do it here, I gotta get going though, I gotta handle my business.", I say as they nod looking excited
"Good, good nice meeting you again Trey.", Damon says in a business manner which had me to smirk cause this cat knew something
"You too Rocafella.", I say as I leaves. I had to go down to my turf. You see I'm basically the CEO of Thug Life Entertainment. You see Pac and I founded that label with each other after he left Death Row
Aaliyah:
I was happy when Rosario agreed to watch Madison and Paris cause Trey had to work. Plus I needed to get back to work and quick. There's no way I'm depending on his for shit. A woman gotta do what a woman gotta do
"Y'all know this having a baby thing works for Aaliyah, cause she looks mature.", Missy says as everyone laughs
"That's called getting older honey, but you know I'm still fine as hell. So I can't worried.", I say jokingly as Missy shakes her head
"When you going to bring yo mini down here.", Timbaland asks referring to Paris
"Soon, I want her to meet her uncles and aunts.", I laugh as they aww'd
"Is it me or is Aaliyah glowing.", Static asks with a smile
"Come to think of it she is, what happen.", Missy asks as I blushed
"Nothing.", I smiled as they read through me
"Liar, what happen girl.", Static says as I couldn't hold it in
"Lets say a month ago Trey and I got back together and we've been going at each other like some teenagers.", I blushed telling them, leaving out my doubts on Trey
"Freaks, that's how Paris got here.", Static says which caused them to laugh
"Aww hush, she taking in some lonely loving she needs since being without him.", Missy says as I cover my face. This is why I don't tell shit to them
Trey:
Is I made it to Thug Life Entertainment. I see these 4 beautiful young ass girls. They all look beautiful in they on way. Just by looking at them I see a lot of talent. I am aware this the new group Kidada had Pac to sign and that he wants me to produce. Apparently they whole record company was being sneaky and foul
"Yo, hello ladies I'm Trey Jordan.", I say introducing myself as I smile
"I'm Matthew Knowles, I'm their manager. Mr. Shakur told me to meet up with you here for a recording session for the girls next album.", Matthew says as the girls look at me like their in love
"Oh yeah, he told me about that. I'm full aware.", I say not keeping my posture. I was me and I wasn't changing
"This is my daughter Beyoncé, this is Kelly, Latoya and Latavia.", Matthew says as the girls waved at me
"Nice to meet y'all lets get this show on the road I actually have something written for y'all. So I'm sure y'all know how this goes.", I say as they nod and went inside the booth and the four put their headphones on
"Kelly, Beyoncé is supposed to be in the middle.", Matthew says with a stern voice as she followed as orders
"When ever y'all ready baby.", I say leaning back in my chair as Matthew sat behind me
"At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain't never been
But now, you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things you did no more
You're slowly making me pay for
Things your money should be handling
And now you ask to use my car
Drive it all day and don't fill up the tank
And you have the audacity to even come and step to me"
"That sounds good Trey, I like the sound they have now.", Matthew says as I nod. I didn't like being interrupted but I was being complimented
"You trifling
(Good for nothing type of brother)
Silly me
(Why haven't I found another)
(A baller), when times get hard need someone to help me out
(Instead of) a scrub like you who don't know what a man's about"
"Hey y'all.", My man Cube says while sitting down he too had signed with Thug Life Entertainment
"Hey.", Matthew smiles as I didn't I was to focused on the group
"They sound dope man.", Cube says patting my back as they finish the song
"How's that.", Beyoncé ask with a wide smile on her face
"That sounded dope.", I grinned as I can feel Matthew burning holes in me, I don't know why but I don't care
