MC Serch on Being Asked to Write Lyrics for Rakim, Eric B Having Beef with Him (Part 4)

Watch Part 3

----------------------

MC Serch spoke to VladTV about 3rd Base being signed to Def Jam and their first single being "Steppin' to the A.M.," which he said was written with Rakim in mind. Serch explained that Def Jam's Lyor Cohen asked him to help write for Rakim, who Cohen said was having writer's block.

MC Serch went on to explain that he wrote "Steppin' to the A.M." in one day, and when they called Eric B, who Serch thought was his good friend, he hung up after 30 seconds and called back to tell Lyor that he was beefing with MC Serch.
