Come on, everybody knows "OK I RELOADED!" proclaims Pain in da Ass, the famous voice of Jay-Z's albums, is proud to be part of hip-hop history! PainindaAss started from the bottom up, handing out flyers. It wasn't until a chance meeting with Roc-A-Fella Records, Damon Dash, that Pain truly found his niche. "I started off as an intern and in tern I turned into something else.", Pain was known to tick people off at the start of the label. Luckily for him, the tactic seemed to work as Pain was given the chance to do the intro on Jay-Z's classic album "Reasonable Doubt". "I just did it. I didn't think anything of it, I mean come on who really gives a f*** about skits on a album." But Pain was wrong as Jay-Z would open up his shows with the now famous line "OK I
