Video After The Jump
In this clip, Rock from Heltah Skeltah gave the backstory to the scar on the side of his face. According to him, the scar is from a cut he suffered at the hands of a 32-year-old man he fought when he was just 16. Rock said that the guy who he characterized as having "muscles" was no match for his hand speed, something he isn't quite sure he has retained at this point in his life. he said the guy cut him but he isn't quite sure with what. Rock stated that he opted not to go to the hospital and instead look for the guy's home in search of retribution.
Rock later discussed the development of the legendary Boot Camp Clik and how Heltah Skeltah was formed. Rock talked about discovering Ruck and how they kept in contact while he was in jail. He said that they both had other music partners before forming their own group to which Rock initially thought was corny but while in jail he noticed his musical relationships with others began to fade while he and Ruck remained tight. He also gave Ruck credit for coming up with the name Heltah Skeltah which is actually the group's second name - the first name remains unspoken according to Rock. He went on to talk about the formula for success in hip-hop which he got from studying other artists and especially their debuts. Rock claims that no one has had a first-coming like Heltah Skeltah and the Boot Camp Clik in general.
