"LETTER TO THE GAME"
GENOVESE SPEAKS PT.1
GENOVESE HAS BEEN FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP, FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM.....GENOVESE WAS BORN JOSEPH GENOVESE IN LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK...HE MOVED TO YONKERS, NY WHEN HE WAS 5 YEARS OLD...HIS GREAT-GRANDFATHER STARTED GENOVESE DRUG STORES IN THE 1920'S, WHO KNEW 50 YEARS LATER THERE WOULD BE OVER 100 THROUGH OUT THE TRI STATE....BUT,GENOVESE MOTHER AND FATHER SEPERATED WHEN HE WAS YOUNG, SO HE WASNT RAISED AS A TYPICAL "GENOVESE"....
GENO STARTED RAPPING WHEN HE WAS ABOUT 15, HE STARTED RHYMING ABOUT THE THINGS HE SAW ON A EVERY DAY BASIS...AS HE GOT OLDER THE MORE AND MORE REAL HIS LIFE BECAME, SO TO IT HIS LYRICS BECAME TOO...GENOVESE RAN THE STREETS AS A TEENAGER AND THIS MOLDED HIMSELF TO THE STREET NARRATOR HE BECAME...HE KNEW STYLES P FROM THE LOX FROM JUNIOR HIGH DAYS, AND IN 1996 HE AND STYLES P RECORDED "REVOLVE LIKE THE DOORS", WHICH WAS A CLASSIC ON THE DJ CLUE MIX TAPES....
GENO STARTED GETTING A SERIOUS BUZZ ON THE STREET, HIS TIES WIT THE LOX, MO MONEY, RICHIE THUMBS, AND KASINO MADE THEM A FORCE ON THE STREET....YOU COULD ASK DJ CLUE, THEY HAD THE STREETS OPEN....MANY PEOPLE TRIED TO GET GENO A DEAL, BUT REMEMBER THIS IS BEFORE EMINEM WAS OUT, AND LABELS WERE NERVOUS ABOUT A WHITE ARTIST (ESPECIALLY A ITALIAN ONE)....
BIGGIE WAS ONE RAPPER THAT WAS INTRIGUED BY GEN, HE COULDNT BELIEVE THAT GENOVESE WAS HIS REAL NAME...HE TOLD GENO,"YOUR GONNA BLOW DUKE", BIGGIE HAD IDEAS ABOUT PUTTING GENO IN JUNIOR MAFIA BUT UNFORTUNATELY BIGGIE WAS GUNNED DOWN IN MARCH OF 1997....FROM MASE TO NAS TO JERMAINE DUPRI, PEOPLE WERE STARTING TO SEE THAT HE WAS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH AND EACH ONE OF THEM MADE A MOVE TO GET VESE TO THE NEXT LEVEL....
BUT, GENOVESE INKED A SOLO DEAL WITH UNIVERSAL RECORDS IN JUNE OF 1999 AND WAS SCHEDULED TO RELEASE HIS DEBUT ALBUM "MY AMERICA", IN JANUARY OF 2001....BUT AFTER A $250,000 VIDEO WAS SHOT, A 6 MONTH MAGAZINE CAMPAIGN AND A 7 CITY PROMOTIONAL TOUR, GENOVESE WAS RELEASED 25 DAYS BEFORE HIS DEBUT ALBUM WAS TO HIT STORES....LATER ON GENOVESE FOUND OUT HIS FORMER PRODUCTION COMPANY WAS THE MAIN REASON FOR THE RELEASE, ALSO GENO FOUND OUT THAT THERE WAS ALOT OF CALLS MADE TO UNIVERSAL FROM " BIG BOYS" IN THE GAME THAT WERE TELLING UNIVERSAL TO NOT PUT GENOVESE OUT....HEY, WHEN YOUR A THREAT YOUR A THREAT....BUT THINGS ALWAYS COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK....
THESE DAYS GENOVESE IS PUTTING OUT MIX CD'S AND WORKING ON VARIOUS PROJECTS: AN ALBUM WITH HIS COUSIN GUSTAPO FROM QUEENS CALLED "FIRST COUSINS", AND ALSO HIS NEW SOLO ALBUM CALLED "FROM THE OUTSIDE LOOKING IN ".....
GENO HAS BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK, LIKE HE SAYS IT, "I GOT MY MASTERS IN THIS GAME ALREADY".....GENO HAS HIS HEAD RIGHT AND IS DOING HIS THING INDEPENDENTLY AT THE CURRENT TIME....GENOVESE IS A LEGEND IN THE GAME, GO ASK SOMEBODY...........
