Bumpy Knuckles Talks Dissing Entire Music Industry On “Industry Shakedown” [Video]

I wanted to do promo. I wanted to do all kinds of stuff.” He said, “Everything happened from them stealing marketing budgets and pocketing the money to stupid s***.” In 1993, Bumpy teamed up with Treach to jump on “Hot Potato” on NaughtByNature’s 19 Naughty III album and from there he says Shakim heard it and wanted to give him a deal with Flavor Unit, which was under Epic. Unfortunately, the rapper says that he wanted to maintain a Boom Bap sound still and teamed up with Diggin’ in the Crates to master that sound, which didn’t sit well with members of Flavor Unit who wanted another sound for the album. In turn, Bumpy says he has to reproduce the album resulting in two projects which were later shelved after issues between the Unit and Epic records. Unhappy with the outcome and the lack of communication, he says he departed from the clique with resentment. Since then, Bumpy says he’s made amends
