Yung Joc says he cried after he lost the “Blame It on the Alcohol,” beat to Jamie Foxx.
The beat was first played to him by Kanye West’s former manager.
“John Monopoly said, ‘Yo bro, I got a heat rock for you. There’s this producer and writer, they got two records, one for you, one for Hotstylz,'” he explained. “That n-gga brought me ‘Blame It on the Alcohol.’ I was on tour with Crocs, the little Crocs shoes n-ggas wearing. I was on a f-cking college tour with Crocs. Them muthaf-ckas gave me a big ass f-cking bag. I was like, ‘Yeah.’
“I called T-Pain while I was on that tour. I told John Monopoly, ‘I’m calling T-Pain, and we gotta put Pain on this f-cking record.’ I did that.”
He said the producer tried to hold the beat for him but Foxx’s team came through with the check faster, so he let the beat go.
“He’s like, ‘Ah.’ I said, ‘What?’ He says, ‘It’s already gone.’ I said, ‘Huh?’ He said, ‘Yeah, Jamie Foxx. They just sent the money.’ N-gga, I slid down the wall like a white woman on a Lifetime movie. And the phone, I just dropped the phone. N-gga, I just let that bitch hang up on its own. I was like, ‘Damn.’ So I’m sitting here like, ‘This sh-t over with.’ I’m crying. I’m laying on the tiles crying because I’m like, ‘This the biggest f-cking record ever.'”
