"Basically, Jive is used to acts like R.Kelly,……" — Mobb Deep
"Basically, Jive is used to acts like R.Kelly, Britney Spears, N'Sync, Justin Timberlake. They're used to the big R'n'B acts selling top, top records and they not used to a group like Mobb Deep that's heavy on the street. They're not used to having a street promotion team. In fact, there is no street promotion team. It doesn't even exist, nahmean? And they ain't wanna give us the budget to do it. So it ain't really worked. We only sold like 400 [thousand], close to gold. That wasn't up to their expectations, so they dropped us, naahmean? So when they dropped us, Fif' heard about it and he gave Hav' a call. And what he offered us, was bigger than a record deal. We in business together to do everything: Clothes, sneakers, books, movies - everything. So it made sense and we was like: let's do it. We workin' on a Mobb Deep book right now, which will turn to a feature film later on. But the first thing you gonna see out of us is gonna be the new album "Blood Money" and it be out in February"
