The New York giants first reunited on Fat Joe’s “All The Way Up (Remix)”in 2016. In a recent interview with ThisIs50.com, Joey Crack spoke on past issues with Jay Z.
“The moral to the story is that there was bad blood between Roc-A-Fella and Terror Squad for a long time and the next thing I know I seen Nas with Jay Z and there was peace.

You look at the video “Made You Look,” I’m standing with the ni**a. That’s when I made sure when I squashed it with 50 Cent I did not do. And let’s be clear, I fuck with Jay Z, Roc-A-Fella, all them ni**as. I got mad love, mad respect, nothing but love for them.”
