Steve Rifkind Tried To Sign Jay-Z…

Check out part 1 of this Steve Rifkind interview conducted by Sumit from The Hip Hop Chronicle. After catching up with Steve Rifkind during his stay in London Sumit got Steve to break down the Duck Seazon lyrics where RZA says "Steve Rifkind must be sniffin". They then go onto speaking about Steve's first encounters with artists.

He explains how Havoc (Mobb Deep) lit up a blunt during their first meeting and caused a fire alarm to go off. He talks about the first time he met Melanie Fiona and how he thought her manager was "breathtakingly beautiful" and at the time he had just turned single! (Unfortunately for Steve she was married)

The Loud & SRC founder also describes a 16 year old Dame Dash as a "cocky motherfucker" who came into Steve's office shouting and screaming with his cousin. Rifkind once thought Roc-A-Fella would be his competition. Steve Rifkind then revealed he tried to sign Jay-Z before Def Jam but Chairman of BMG didn't want to, so he decided to throw everything off the Chairman's desk.

There's also a great story about Steve Rifkind throwing a chair threw a window over a Wu Tang record and being led out of the building in handcuffs.

Part 2 coming tomorrow. It includes stories about Akon, a bloody nosed Diddy, smoking with Tupac and whether or not the Wu Tang Clan set up Steve with a phantom intern….
