What song did Cormega play on?

This song originally featured Cormega and appeared on the B-Side to Foxy’s “I’ll Be”. It’s a solid, midtempo intro where the core members set the table. And it segues perfectly into the next joint.

What is the song "Desperados 2" about?

On the retail version, this song was about keeping Canibus’ buzz up. The retail version also didn’t feature Nas and Fox beyond some. “Desperados 2” begins the spanish guitar suite of the album. That sound lacks the Juice Crew 2 vibes, however the quality of these joints are still ridiculous.

Is Mary J Blige in this firm?

Mary J Blige isn’t in this Firm , even though this song is Nas, Nate, and AZ rapping over Jimmy Spicer’s “Dollar Bill Y’all” as a recruiting pitch to the Queen of Hip Hop Soul or whatever her title used to be. This song further proves that The Firm was built to make Steve Stoute and Trackmasters Fuck You Money, as Steve managed Mary, started a non-profit with her, and then had her doing a minstrel show type of commercial for KFC that was pulled. Fuck Steve Stoute.
