Pete Nice had never been in a business meeting quite like this one. The rapper was sitting at the middle table in the front room of the Brooklyn steakhouse Peter Luger. Across the table was an under-boss of the Gambino crime family, an associate of "Dapper Don" John Gotti, who was about to be indicted by the FBI and the US secret service for credit-card fraud.

  The song sucks, but you can def tell Pete was a part of it. I think the dude sound a lil like zev love X.

Nice find with the track.
I can definintely hear some Pete influence on that track.

I don't think it's all that bad.  In all of my years listening to hip hop ive heard some very bad tracks from guys who had no business in hip hop.  He doesn't sound nearly as corny as I was thinking it would.

Crazy to think that Pete pretty much ended hip hop right around this time too.
That Big Lou song even references "Rat Bastard".

I wonder if this interaction with a mobster made Pete think, I'm done with this.
