Don Cannon Reveals that Jay-Z and Jeezy’s ‘Go Crazy’ Started with a T.I. Freestyle
Don Cannon made a shocking revelation by saying that Jay-Z and Jeezy’s ‘Go Crazy’ actually started with a T.I freestyle before it became a hit track.
Cannon made the statement on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion interview. He said, “When I made the beat, ‘Go Crazy’ was his beat. I don’t know if everybody knew that. He freestyled on [DJ] Drama’s tape on it, but he really ain’t do nothing with it. And that led to Jeezy hitting me up later like, ‘What’s up with that beat?’ He cashed me out for it, you know.”
Cannon said several other things about “Go Crazy.” In his words, “When Jeezy got it, I knew it was special ’cause he was like, ‘Yo, I got something special for you on this record.’ I’m like ‘What?’ he said. “He’s like, ‘The boy got on it.’ Hov got on it and did them 64 bars and I was like, ‘Oh, I’m out of here!’
“I couldn’t even think about it because it was unreal to me,” he said. “When I seen the verse in Hip Hop Quotables and I read it, I’m like, ‘Oh, he really destroyed my shit.’ Then the second time I seen him, Jeezy brought him out at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and he was like, ‘Yo, Hov about to perform the joint.’ That’s when I hit the thug tear, you know.”
