    I think the same thing that happened with Royce da 5'9 also happened to AZ. Both of them frequently collabed with 2 of the biggest emcees of their time Eminem and Nas and even released group projects with them. I personally thought AZ and Royce held their own on tracks and projects that they had with Esco and Slim Shady. But when you tag team with Batman, you are often gonna be perceived as Robin by an ignorant audience.

    I tell everyone I know once the decision to cut Cormega out of the group was made that was the beginning of the end for The Firm. Just listen to his verse on this. He was the muscle of the group, the enforcer. Nature is a dope MC, but he brought the same energy Nas and AZ brought and that's not what this group needed.

    So her Math isn't exactly wrong, double it times 3, is supposed to be 96 right? However, She says 48 because Cormega (or Mega) is selling it too so she says “double it times three we got forty-eight” because 96 divided by two (Foxy and Mega) is 48. I mean it mostly appeals to those who have sold drugs before so they'd probably understand it better, she just needed to add "each" for clarification but that could've messed up the flow and she didn't really consider that general audiences might not understand it as well as actual street cats. That's the issue.
