Rule, who has a new MTV show, Follow the Rules, gave some insight into his heavy hit making days, in which he penned raps for R&B artists and flowed alongside Jay Z.

When asked about his hit record "Holla Holla," from his debut 1999 album Venni Vetti Vecci, he said, "It [the beat] had this funny sound to it. So I'm like, 'What could I do to this to bring out what the beat is?' I created the double-flow, which I called it at the time. 'Holler Holler, anybody that's ready to get dollar, dollar-dollar.' I said, You know what, I'm gonna do verses like that."

Ja went on to explain how Jay Z borrowed his style for the "Holla Holla" remix. "Jay heard it and he was like, 'dope.' We on the bus and Jay is like, 'I got my verse right.' I was like, 'Let me hear it.' This is how ill Jay is: He spit it and it was double-time like my verse. Then when he did it, he changed it. Only did the double for the first two'The verse was still dope."
