The album that Jam Master Jay was reportedly hit for was never actually released, as Jackson was almost killed in a drive-by shooting a few months before it was due to drop. He was in a car outside his grandmother's house when a gunman pulled up and opened fire. Incredibly, Jackson was shot nine times and managed to survive. Reports of the incident state that he took bullets to his hand, arm, hip, both legs, chest and left cheek, which damaged his tongue and gave him his signature drawl.

The reason for the attempt on his life is thought to have been a line in "Ghetto Quran" which mentioned Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff, the notorious drug lord who ran the Baisley Park projects. McGriff (who is currently serving a life sentence for drug trafficking, racketeering and murder) is said to have been unhappy about his name being dropped in the song and wanted the man behind it dead.

"McGriff was involved with the shooting of another rap artist, 50 Cent, who wrote a song exposing McGriff's criminal activities," an affidavit filed in connection with an investigation into Murder Inc. (Jackson's rival studio) finances stated. Jackson implicated the drug mogul later in his lyrics, and even claimed to have known the man who shot him. "He got killed a few weeks after I got shot," he said. "Same situation, somebody waiting on him."
