Soul Intent was active from to Most probably, They promised each other that if one of them becomes famous someday, he'll help the other. Later, Eminem became but he didn't keep his promise. He did help his buddies like Royce da 5'9" and D12 friends but sadly left out James. You see, only few people ever knew about Soul Intent. No one knew that Eminem left a good old friend behind; even Eminem never talked about James.
James two letters to Eminem, they were depressing. Everyone who read the letters said they were "Interesting Reads". The letters seemed desperate and sad. In of them he said he's disappointed on Eminem for not helping him although they promised that if one of them blew up he'll reach out his hand to the other one. At first it probably was the pressure from the record companies and career for which Eminem couldn't get in touch with his buddy.
Fame became imprisonment. Eminem had the tendency of leaving out James. The Source created a big mess. Chaos Kid may have been the one to leak an early song of Eminem from his teenage to The Source out of jealousy or financial gain. Long story short; they made it looked like James was paid to leak some Eminem tapes and take part in an interview of The Source where he talked about Eminem.
James actual intention was to get the attention of Eminem though The Source completely represented James like an enemy to Eminem. And they also made the lie look stronger as James expressed some frustrations towards Eminem, of course- for leaving him out. Though Chaos Kid says in the magazine that he opted out of the freestyle sessions, his interview is used to validate the magazine's contention that Eminem is a racist.
In his letter, Chaos Kid says his words were manipulated and facts contorted to fit The Source 's motives. Chaos explains that the freestyles were called "Suckerin' Rhymes," and that they were intentionally misguided.
He writes of his personal experiences with Eminem during that time and says that the famous rapper never used the N-word or "any other derogatory names or made any derogatory remarks about African-Americans in casual conversation with me.
In fact, we personally had conversations talking about how we hated racism and racists and both had real songs denouncing racism!! Chaos Kid concludes by writing that, in his opinion, "Marshall Mathers is not a racist. Although the songs were in bad taste, they were not intended to be taken seriously or even heard and do not represent the true sentiments of Eminem.
