I ain’t set nobody up. I knew Kent Jones. When Dre brought Kent Jones to me, I already knew this kid was going to be big. So, when I signed him, I was like “Yo, this kid is gonna get big.“ And "Don’t Mind” goes number one.

I said, “They don’t know what I know.”—that he could spit, produce, and sing. He can vibe. He can do waves. He’s a special new cloth alert. I wanted to show him love on my album. I was like, “I can put a hit record on there that you do, or…I don’t wanna do that. I’m gonna put you in the mud, so these people know that you do this too.” So when I was making this record with Jadakiss, Fab, Fat Joe and Busta, I already knew this was going to be a straight bar spit record. I was like, “We’re going to put Kent Jones at the end.” And I’m like, “Kent. Go bad,” meaning let them know you’re lyrically nice! He went bad. He was trending topic on Twitter for like three or four days straight. They’re saying he got one of the best verses on the album.

I’m saying to myself, “We did the right thing.” I had to make an executive decision because I could’ve just put another “Don’t Mind” on there. I said, “Nah. Let this man go hard!”
