And look at us with the mics in our hands

Jam Master Jay Friend Disses 50

Under his rap moniker MDR, Randy Allen, the friend of and former suspect in the murder case of the late Jam Master Jay, has recorded “P*ssy Man,” a diss track directed at 50 Cent.

Allen takes issue with 50 over the rap mogul’s new documentary film, The Life and Death of Jam Master Jay. 50 plans to release the film through his production company, Cheetah Films.

Allen challenges the film’s accuracy and the sources used to comprise its narrative. Apparently, 50 left Allen out of the loop in making the movie. Said Allen, “Why would you go to [questionable sources]
and promote something they’re doing without even talking to me about it and finding out if that’s what it is? Anybody doing that is p*ssy.”
