“ 100 Bars: When St. Louis rappers Aye verb, Hitman Holla, and Yung Ill was battling in New York you kind of separated yourself from them when you stepped on the scene what was the reason for that?? B magic: Cause I was separate. Like how you see me now. As we speak I’m by myself.. I’m always by myself..I’m with this Midwest movement definitely, if niggas don’t rock with me I don’t fuck with em either.. At that time they wasn’t reaching out to me and I wasn’t asking for a handout. We would show up to events at times and it would be two different groups of st. louis niggas. We never was in the same group. Thats why I separated myself but at some point we started conversating. To this day you don’t see to many...Well Verb surprised me when he stood by me vs. clips.. I still think its a lil something wrong with the picture but for the most part I rep for the city. I still rep for the straight gutter, the hood parts of my city, I’m in the hood right now. I’m in the hood in a car doing this interview..So you know its all good cause I ain’t expect nothing from nobody and when you don’t expect nothing from nobody you good with where you are at. You know some people felt that cause I was from St. Louis I was supposed to be a part of team St. Louis but I be trying to tell niggas.. In St. Louis, niggas don’t like each other. So the same way they was picking they friends outta town n shit them niggas was new to me too.. I met Verb and Holla in New York. So that lets you know how much we knew each other. I ain’t know these niggas before battle rap. But you know they cool people they rep the city and I’m all for it. But at that time we ain’t know each other. Alot of niggas was trying to ride they coat tails too like...Well I ain’t gunna say who..But niggas was like oh Verb, Hitman, Ill awww man.. All trying to get down wit em and they ain’t get no where. Every nigga that tried that failed. So me I just stayed over here, did it the hard way and worked my way up. 100 Bars: What was the issue with J. Fox? B magic: Some niggas take this internet to the extreme. I’m a nigga that don’t disrespect people unless they need to be disrespected. If you got a problem with me then its going to be a problem. He let the wrong words slip out. So I said when he see me its whatever. Its one thing you don’t call no grown ass man.. You don’t call no grown ass man a bitch “ 44 I met verb and holla in New york.Sothat lets you know how much we knew each other. I aint know these niggas before battle rap.
