Bootlegs & B-Sides Volume 2 Synopsis as told by B-CIDE

I wanted to make sure Bootlegs & B-Sides Volume 2 was a real dope album. I really didn't want any type of mixtape tracks (or bootlegs as I call em) on this CD. At this point I has been doing a lot of recording with First Class, formerly of Brick Money Entertainment. A lot of these tracks were going to be used on an EastSide Productions Mixtape which kinda got scrapped.

Songs like Think Twice and One Of These Nights were to be used on Free Agent but we could never get any clarence for them. Plus judging by the content of them I don't think Free Agent could have used anymore downer type tracks. I was really going through some stuff in my personal life which always translates to music, but i didn't think I would get out of the funk I was in.

I'm really a big fan of Click, Clack because I got to record something with Jac D and G.A. before they got locked up. The Brick Money music movement was very powerful and to this day I'm saddened to see how everything went down. We will always have love the the whole Brick Money movement.

Which brings me to the track, Cop Killa. Now I love to speak my mind in my music and this does not fall short. I love my freedoms as an American and I will use free speech to it's fullest extent. I had turned some heads in the long arm of the law by releasing that track. I can remember actually being visited by the New York State Police because of that song. They wanted a lyric sheet which boggled my mind, how could I be killing cops? I'm an entertainer, not a cop killer. But just like I said in the song, they wasted tax payers money to come talk to me about a hip-hop song......... Really?

Only in America can we make a song about freedom of speech and then have questions raised because of it.
