He used to open up for the Wu in New York
I've heard that Em would come out wearing a Wu t-shirt, everybody would start jeering and taunting him, then as soon as he start spitting, it was over - the venue would just erupt
As far as I know Em's openings for the Wu caught the eye of someone assicated with Duckdown, they were gonna sign him but didn't think they could gain anything from putting on a white kid and wern't willing to take a chance, look how that turned out
I'll try find quotes on this

Same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Sh.., Thats' only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael
See Martin, see Malcolm
You see Biggie, see Pac, see success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas; see Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide
Suicide, it's a suicide
If you succeed, prepare to be crucified[/i - Jay-Z
