The group was on Aftermath’s label and should have been great – but totally wasn’t.
After all the perceived hype the group received, the subsequent failure was a major low for everyone who was involved career’s. Dre decided to end the Firm project, which was the second release under Aftermath, and Nas went back to Columbia Records.
Both artists have referred to “The Firm flop” later in their careers. Most famously on Dre’s third release under Aftermath (The Slim Shady LP falling between The Firm and The Chronic 2001).

As JAY-Z said on November 2007’s American Gangster track, “Success,”, he has watches that he hasn’t seen in months.
Audemars Piguet is a luxury watch company from Switzerland. Some of their timepieces require daily calibrations in order to keep accurate time. Jay also mentions his Rolex collection. In the past, one way to spot a fake Rolex was to watch its second hand. If it ticked every second it was fake, because the real ones gave off the illusion that they were “sweeping” around the dial. All of Jay’s Rollies are real.
Note that, of the ultra-luxury watch houses, Audemars Pigeut’s diamond-covered mode might be the most famous example of a diamond heavy timepiece.

Nas was one of the first East Coast rappers working with Dr. Dre, as seen on his sophomore album It Was Written, on the song “Nas Is Coming.”
The Firm was both an album and a group that consisted of Dre, Nas, AZ, Foxy Brown, and The Trackmasters. Despite how awesome that sounds, it didn´t live p to the hype
