X-Raided divulged an intriguing piece of hip-hop history: Dr. Dre's attempt to purchase Black Market Records. Following his departure from Death Row Records, Dre envisioned his new label as Black Market Records. According to X-Raided, Dre’s plan would have included signing Eminem under this new banner. Their discussion also highlighted the significant influence X-Raided and his debut album had on Dre, evidenced by Dre’s attempt to emulate X-Raided’s iconic album cover pose. The conversation then shifted to the intense turf war between the Garden Blocc Crips and the Meadowview Bloods. X-Raided explained how the escalating violence in these Sacramento neighborhoods shaped the creation of his music. Originally unified under the broader area, internal conflicts and retaliatory violence split the communities. X-Raided recounted the tragic killing of his close friend, which intensified the conflict further.
