@ how kats are over analyzing this kat's Darkside promotion for his album. 1st thing I thought also RJjr having himself registered.
Aint no mistake though, as Joe had that spot on StNick that got shut down by the feds in the late 80s/early 90s with the FL560 label b4 all that other hip hop wear, running the streets doin what he was; so with all that comes kats around him that are loyal, do what they do & feel what they feel.
I remember when this shit happened too as kat was on the radio talking a lil about it;
RYJr could have open smack the fuck out of kat & dropped him & dipped, almost or probably breaking that jaw without that being a charge (since an open hand can't be considered like a punch) right?
Dont see Roy snuffing off the truth but if kat was popping off the mouth & hands, souped, threatening who knows lol
I think he embellished the story some, but I'm sure they were going after him with guns, they weren't stupid.
Then went after him; them had joints on em; could have mobbed, beat then popped him

or got their asses beat one by one.
Good story and a perfect example of how pride and instigating escalates shit. Joe wrote a line dissing Roy, Roy steps to him to save face,he confronts Joe and Joe apologizes(more or less),but some dude who isn't even involved(Chopper) instigates for more even though Roy is semi satisfied.If Roy punched Joe,Joe could be dead(getting KO'ed by a boxing champion then having 300plus punds fall to a hard floor) and/or Roy could get killed in retaliation.Shit is silly.
Bascially
& He wasnt lying, just tight, trying to save face, or even promote his rap label he was trying to jump off around that time.
LOL @ Joe telling this shit almost a decade later, holding kat's wrists & sayin that shit lol
Should have told him he lost madd grip on his ass that night

too
& Just because u see a kat chilling, walking with his fam, by himself or in the hood doesnt mean he doesnt have the powder on him ensuring him & his business' safety as he may have done as a youth
