[edit] History
Soul Intent recorded songs from about 1987 until about 1995 over 1000 Freestyles were recorded according to Eminem. Interpersonal issues caused disagreement among members at various times, and now the crew is no longer officially together.[1] They Recorded a song called Biterphobia, which features samples from various horror films as well as Audio Two's "Top Billin'", and the theme song from the Japanese Spiderman show
[edit] Racist Tapes
In 2003, racist tapes from Bassmint Productions were found by The Source (magazine). Eminem asked Manix to destroy the tapes in 2003 before they were discovered but Manix refused then someone sold the tapes to The Source (Foolish Pride).
[edit] Separation
In early 1995, Man-ix and his girlfriend moved to Florida to be close to his girlfriend's family. This left Eminem without a producer. This is when Eminem turned to future D12 member, Denaun Porter to handle the production on Eminem's debut album "Infinite." Eminem and Manix would never work together again. Eminem and Man-ix last worked together on "M&M's" cassette single, "Fuckin' Backstabber", providing production and arranging. Chaos Kid had not been a collaborator with Bassmint Productions or Soul Intent since about 1993. It was posted on www.RapBasement.Com that Chaos Kid and Eminem decided to stop working together due to their very different styles. However, it is believed the two remained friends. DJ Butterfingers last worked with Eminem on "Infinite", providing cuts and scratches on several tracks on the album. Eminem may have had a short beef with Chaos Kid, because in the "thank you's" on the Infinite artwork, Eminem fails to thank Chaos Kid. However, he does thank DJ Butterfingers and Man-ix. Even though Man-ix had "ditched" Eminem about a year earlier. Eminem would go on to thank Chaos Kid, DJ Butterfingers and Man-ix on his next two albums, "Slim Shady EP" and "The Slim Shady LP." However, on the two afore mentioned albums, Chaos Kid appears as "Snafu."
[edit] Where Are They Now
After being discovered by Dr. Dre, Eminem was signed to Aftermath Entertainment and has since become one of the world's most famous rappers. Chaos Kid does not rap much anymore. DJ Butter is still a DJ and, although uncredited, created a sample for D12 single Purple Pills in 2001. Manix and Vitamin C started recording another album to further Bassmint Productions, called A Second Coming Of Nice, but it was never released. DJ Butter and Chaos Kid also recorded an album in the late 1990's, but that album was not released either. Manix has since expressed hostility towards Chaos Kid, DJ Butter, and Eminem.
