Mic Geronimo opens up about a powerful, emotional moment from his past—the night Jay-Z saved his life. At a time when Roc-A-Fella, Murder Inc., and Ruff Ryders were dominating the scene, a wild night out turned dangerous for Mic. After drinking heavily at an industry event with Queen Latifah and others, he found himself blackout drunk and barely able to stand outside the All-Star Café. Stumbling and disoriented, Mic says he was suddenly lifted off his feet and thrown over someone’s shoulder. That someone was Jay-Z. He recalls Hov telling Irv Gotti, “Don’t worry, I got him,” as he carried Mic to safety and laid him down in a quiet space. Jay looked at him and said, “You can’t do this to yourself,” to which Mic heartbreakingly responded, “Why don’t you just let me die?” What struck Mic Geronimo most was that Jay didn’t step in because of his rap persona—he did it because he cared about the man behind the name, Michael McDermon. It’s a raw, human story of compassion, brotherhood, and the unseen battles artists face.
