    Wow Jay got a point. When you’re on the hottest rap label of the time, got unlimited music connections, a clothing line, etc… you can only blame yourself. Jay did it himself. Beanie’s good but coulda been a lot more self-motivated to get promo. He didn’t NEED Jay yet leaned on him.

  2. hnic says:

    B.S and therefore when he goes broke call the cops when you come to concert in his city….nice one Jay..but its pretty clear u a snake like Katt williams say if niggas been talkin the same shit about you for a while then its prolly true Jay-z = G.O.A.T rapper but Sean Carter you a fuckin,backstabbin snake whos sold your soul for riches….oh plus you a bitch nigga for callin the cops too.

  5. kingill89 says:

    in this shit all he was explaining was money he did touch up on half of the shit beans said in that interview beans was saying how jay was doing songs and dropping songs and promoting singles of his own while beanie had a single out thats what beanie was saying is nigga why you trying to hog all the spotlight when niggas trying to get it in and shit Like why are you putting songs out there with just you on the song but its my album out

    I feel beans becuz he did the same thing with bleek with dear summer its like bleekfot shit promotion for i think the name was 534 or some shit but its like ok why is jay doing a song that dont even feature bleek and using bleek album for the promotion of the single and promoting the single as a single itself and it turn out you not even going to pay bleek

    I get where beanie is coming from he asking jay like nigga why would you sign us if you not willing to promote us and that shit is true he got rhianna around 24/7 365 and lowkey using her and the bitch not even signed to him

    I think what jay-z is a user n its knowledgable what this nigga do is when a nigga is hot he wanna jump on they shit just how he never did songs with T.I. and Wayne before they sold ove 2 million records on a recent LP then he wanna get them on records he did the same thing with Juvie he wasnt messing with Juvey with soulja rags and the beginning of the hot boyz movement but when “Ha” blow up he wanna jump on juvey song like Now Im sure Juvenile cant even get in contact with Jay-Z rite now but in 98 99 Jay-Z prolly was blowing Juvey Phone UP

    he did the same thing with Master P got on a couple of records P and Silk since No Limit disappeared from the scene Jay aint reached out or nothing

    He did the same thing with 50 and when G-unit was hot he gon try and get on tour with a rap group that just sold 5 million but when these niggas selling 300 k you asking them to get on a promo tour with you

    he used alotta Niggas That just dont respect him anymore Gr8s LL,DMX,UGK,Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, I mean the list goes on

    and rite now he using Kanye but I gurantee you if things keep going bad for kanye and J.Cole or Wale emerge then he going to start using them

  6. frank says:

    It is called the music business, children.

  7. carl weston says:

    Beanie is broke because this dummy wants to shoot at people in philly..then the dummy gets bagged and has to spend all his money on legal fees…If dumb ass rappers would put there money in the fucking bank instead of into jewelry ,cars & criminal defense lawyers they wouldn’t end up like this fool.

  8. Dice Pee says:

    Jay didn’t pull the triggathat got him out the game for that year and a day if u want superstar status u cant be on the block poppin guns he would have never seen commerical success he reached his peak to mainstream. The Philadelphia Phillies wont be having him perform to open their world series game. Be a man stand on your on two if soulja boy can promote himself so can sig self promotion is the best promotion go grind like u do to get a deal u cant expect execs and and label heads to make u a superstar Kanye did it himself being arrogant having good music grind nigga and stop bitchin and tryin to ruin a mans marriage thats a real bitch response

  9. Jon-B says:

    I HOPE JAY REAPOND ON A TRACK CUZ YEA, THIS IS THE LOUDEST “SHOT” SOMEBODY EVA HIT HIM WITH, LOL

  10. alby412 says:

    Jay got a point but so does Beans…when it comes to the music Jay didn’t push him like lets say 50…if you got an artist. You a big rapper. You get on they hook at least. To help push them. Example Yung Dro “Shoulder Lean”

  11. clos1881 says:

    Jay one of my 5 favorite rappers but as a real nigga I just dont see it and I dont mean real in the sense of what he did in the street I mean how you treat your niggas artist would be better off signing directly with a label instead of the bad boys and rocafellas because they give you a false sense of family when they all buisness

  12. Jimbo Slice says:

    The real story is, and what Beanie didn’t mention is, Beanie, sided with Dame. And allowed Dame to keep tabs on him when he knew the split was going down, he chose a side. PERIOD.

    fukk Jay Z.

    That dude is foul.

  14. Hisho says:

    woooooo waaaaaaave,,, 50 Cent at his best,, make sure you buy BISD 23rd NOV

  15. Renzel says:

    Props to my man Goofy welldone mtl journalist for this question!

  16. Tysonz says:

    Jay was never a street dude with loyalty and fam first instincts, even Klein the nigga who he hustled with called him out on that shit.
    The only friend Jay got is Ty-Ty cuz Bleek, Beans,Dame, Jaz o, even YN all got shitted on by Jay-z.
    Ask Jay now who his friends are and he’ll tell you Chris Martin and Lebron James dudes who he aint know til recently….SMH

  17. Streets says:

    @kingil89
    That’s a good point about Jay stilling the spot light when other artist have albums out. I kind of seen that when it was going down. But artist like Nelly, and Ditty also done it to keep the label hot by holding the handle to keep things movin. But, if artist have a problem with the CEO they need to express their promotion at that time to keep them name hot when their album drops too. Nelly did the same to the St. lunatics but I don’t think anybody could of held the label down like Nelly but he never really gave them a chance hipetherically. Ditty, also never let Black Rob or G dep get his exposure neither. I also noticed that with Bleek he did like one or two videos per record and never got any exposure. So, I don’t see how you could sell more than platnium 500,000 on your first or second album. Beanie has a good point and Jay has a good point as CEO to make that choice. Whether he saw potential for growth there or maybe not. Also, you have to look at Kanye situation he had to pay for his on video and do all his promotion to get kicked off and he suceeded by pushing his on sh**. So let that be a lesson to all you rappers out there push your on sh** in your contracts in the fine print for promotion and marketing. There might be some that are stealling that light for their on fame and fortune not to say that was all their intentions. One thing I noticed about Jay-Z he is a hell of marketer and he studies when to make his promotion moves. Also, he no how to keep a mystic and metaphor to keep people following him. He is a better than average rapper to me but not the best in my book. To all you rappers he also now how to ride the beat in his songs with timing and get the best beats from the top people. Also, he gets the top vocal singers Mary, A. Keys, Mia and B. to ride his hooks. The boy next to myself is cold but not quite on my level on knowledge but no how to use his fame to get paid. Rappers step ya game up and read the fine print.

  18. chuckdofdasouth says:

    I finally got my twitter. Follow me @chuckdofdasouth…When will one of our start-up record labels be able to stand the test of time. They all go out the exact same way. I was just joking saying 3 or 4 years from now, Drake and Lil Wayne will be beefing about Young Money. We have enough lawyers and cpa’s coming out of our hoods to be able to help these rappers. Not just the label heads. If hip hop dies, this will be the real reason.

    Be easy folks (Gray Tape Era State of Mind)

  19. RURU says:

    50 is a grimey cat. I know he set Bean up to go against Jay. Why would Bean keep metioning his 50 name. How can a grown man almost be 40 years old talkin about street cred. Bean is a sucka and will neva be CEO material. Man I keep tellin everyone 50 is a chess player and the bugs bunny lookin character is cold blooded.

  20. VerseCutta says:

    we dont believe you,you need more ppl,
    lets get real,we know beans wasnt seeing all the money that clothing label was making,
    stop that jay,but yea we know jay is a snake,he doesnt want anyone to outshine him,
    why didnt jay do a verse for jada’s album?
    ‘its called music business’ yea,sure,but wat other music genre you know that you can end up dead as a result of your actions, rap is not your standard business, niggas will come see you cuz at the end of the day all rap artists are in reach.
    book a show and u got them right where you want them,
    like beans said, i aint your average rapper lil scrapper,im an original gun clapper.
    jay was never a ceo,he handles his own career,thats it,
    why would you stop beans from working with 50? why would you block him?
    when 50 was working with freeway,why didnt jay help too,no video with free?

  21. rocstar says:

    this is what happened…

    *50 cent calls Beanie*

    50: YO beanie, whattup its 50. Wanna make some money?
    Beanie: hell yah man im broke
    50: ima need u to make a diss record against jay for a hundred thousand dollars…
    Beanie: im on my way to the studio….

  22. Streets says:

    Some records push themselves without exposure like Mystical and Mr. Cheeks. Both had hot albums threw and threw the whole album. The street buzz pushed this albums because the streets saw creativity and raw talent. I don’t know if Beans album was a banger or a one or two hit wonder. On the other hand look how Dr. Dre handles his situation with EM, Snoop, Game, and 50. He to a back seat and still getting big money from writing and producing by letting his artist promote themselves. If you look at artist like LL. Cool J. who is the G.O.A.T. played the indian to Def Jam and still getting paid from movies, clothing and record sales. Some people need to just play the indian and quit trying to be the chief because this forces CEO in some cases to make big moves to protect their brand. Not everyone can have a label sometimes its good to negotiate your contract right with merchandising and get paid. It can be and headache being the CEO and being the workhorse. State property metaphors are not real life because prisons,bullets,family are real and bills are real. Rappers should learn from this situation with all of these egos and chaos. Like Jay-Z said its hard to play the game with all red cards and no spades. So rappers don’t shoot yourself in the foot before you can get on your feet.

  23. dickinyamom says:

    @ Verse Cutta – co-sign
    He didn’t wanna jump on that track with Jada because he knew he would get slaughtered, this ain’t them “Resevoir Dawgs” or “Blackout” days Jay’s lyrical blade ain’t as shape as it use to be. I respect Jada for not putting “Who Run This?” on his album too, like I don’t want no nigga talking on my song like he Diddy for all that he could of stayed on Bad Boy, Jay was mad disrespectful for that. The fuck of the matter is this Beanie couldn’t promote his album when Jay was eating up the fuckig promotion budget at Roc-A-Fella like Beanie siad the nigga would drop his album like two weeks after Sigels and have a video out before Sigel doing mass promotion. How you gone cast a shadow on ya own artist?? Not to mention he couldn’t get promotion moving through tours because Jay-Z didn’t wanna pay niggas to go on tour! Kanye had an advantage because he could garner revenue and promotion by being a producer. Beanie couldn’t…

  24. Dito says:

    All you guys talking about Jay not promoting Albums for artist need to ask yourself one question,

    What does Jay GAIN by not helping these artist? Of course he wants them to succeed and sell records..why? Becasue it’s his label, image and $$$investment.

    I don’t believe for a second it’s intentional for Jay to put out Records 2 weeks after beans or be4 it’s business. If Jay’s invest 1 milli for Beans Album and it testes poorly on the launch or the feedback from the masses in week one, so they have an IDEA of projected sales, Jay obviously might have to go in and SAVE the DAY as to not looses his investment.

    that’s good business!! When LL, and the rest of them make money, it only helps solidify Jay’s spot as CEO etc so the argument that he wants to outshine his artist and not help them push reocords is BULLSHIT and of you want proof look at KANYE… Jay never does anything for KANYE in terms of PROMO and Kanye sells millions and sells out arenas.

    If you ever listen to Jay on the HOT 97 he is always requesting his new artist before they DROP like Ne-yo , or the DREAM way before ppl even know who they were.

  25. Killerchris2k8 says:

    Most of what Beans said is probably true. Jay has a long list of people he’s left behind and soured relationships. That being said, the real reason Beans is in the situation he’s in is because he was a junkie. Plain & simple. Niggas from Philly know. Pills, dope, syrup & truly living in the streets are the reason he’s not a millionaire rapper.

  26. dwash says:

    ummm which one of 50′s crew is doing anything now ….. how many of them have clothing lines/record labels???? How many of them were even hot for a long period of time????? Dam Beans it does look like the grass is greener on the other side.

  27. YaBoiTone says:

    Lol. I really hope you all realize that you are criticizing Jay for doing EXACTLY what he is supposed to do? He is the best selling solo artist of all time for a reason people. HE works his ass off and doesn’t lean on other people to help him. He SEIZES EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY PRESENTED TO HIM and capitalizes from it. And to the dumb ass who criticized him for jumping on songs with people after they blow up….HOW DUMB CAN U BE?? OF COURSE HE WAITS TIL PEOPLE BLOW UP TO GET ON TRACKS WITH THEM??? LMAO!! IT’S A BUSINESS! YOU DO BUSINESS WITH PEOPLE WHO CAN FURTHER YOUR OWN BUSINESS! OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE A WASTE OF TIME?!!?!?! come on people. Open your eyes. This shit is OBVIOUS AS HELL. God bless him, but the nigga Beans embraces that ghetto, thug, hood, bumbass nigga mentality too much and everyone with commonsense knows that will ONLY HOLD U BACK! You can’t go into a corporate board room and negotiate business deals when you present yourself in that light. Everybody calls that shit “keeping it real”when in reality its just another case of “keepin it real stupid.” You CANT HELP your people by staying in the same place and doing the same things as them. You have to grow, mature, do better, and further yourself so that they see that the bullshit traps of the hood arent the only way to prosper. THEN you can teach them to do the same things. YOU ARE HURTING THE HOOD MORE THAN YOU ARE HELPING THE HOOD BEANS! THat keep it real shit is plain fucking stupid. How the fuck you gonna help the hood from jail?? im sorry yall, but i just get heated over the stupid ass mentality of some of our most talented and intelligent people. JAY IS THE AMERICAN DREAM for a fucking reason. He used all the BULLSHIT of the hood to become a better person. And hes not a snake nigga AT ALL!! NOT BY ANY MEANS!!! THIS NIGGA BEANS WAS A PART OF ROCAFELLA RECORDS!!! NUFF SAID! HE HAD UNLIMITED RESOURCES AND CONNECTIONS!! IF HE WASNT WASTING TIME BACK IN THE HOOD BULLSHITTIN AROUND HE COULD BE BETTER THAN JAY AND IN A BETTER PLACE! IF HE WORKED HARDER! INSTEAD HE GOT TO A “GOOD PLACE” AND BECAME COMPLACENT. HE EXPECTED OTHER NIGGAZ TO SPEND THEIR TIME DOING WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING FOR HIMSELF. NIGGAZ NEED TO WAKE UP AND STOP SYMPATHIZING WITH THIS NIGGA BEANS! HES JUST ANOTHER CLASSIC CASE OF A LAZY NIGGA WHO (NO MATTER WHAT HE SAYS) WAS LOOKING FOR HANDOUTS. AINT NO MAN GONNA DO FOR YOU, YOU GOTTA DO FOR SELF. THIS NIGGA JAY OPENED THE DOOR TO HEAVEN FOR THIS KAT AND HE HAS THE NERVE TO TURN AROUND AND SAY JAY DID HIM DIRTY AND THEN YOU PEOPLE HAVE THE NERVE TO SAY THAT JAY IS A SNAKE. BE SERIOUS? I MEAN DAMN.

    LISTEN TO “ALREADY HOME” ON BP3 AGAIN FOLKS. SHIT IS CLEAR AS DAY. NIGGAZ GOTTA GET IT FOR THEMSELVES. OH, AND BEANS KEPT MENTIONING THE NIGGA 50. BE FOR REAL BEANS. DO U WANNA BE A SLAVE, DICK SUCKING, FAGET NIGGA LIKE BANKS AND WHATS HIS NAME? YEAH 50 MAY PAY THEM AND HOOK EM UP, BUT THEY HAVE PAID THE PRICE OF THEIR FUCKING PRIDE! U SEE HOW THEM NIGGAZ LOOK AND ACT LIKE BITCH MADE SLAVES IN THE PRESENCE OF 50CENT AND HE JUST EATS THAT SHIT UP!! ITS LIKE HE HAS HIS TWO CHILDREN FOLLOWING HIM AROUND ALL THE TIME. SO IF U WONT JAY TO HOLD YOUR HAND LIKE THAT JUST BE WILLING TO LOOK LIKE A BITCH. EVEN THE NIGGA BLEEK LOOKS LIKE A CHUMP FOR JAY? DO U WANNA BE JAY-Z’S HYPE MAN LIKE BLEEK MR. BEANS??? DIDNT FUCKING THINK SO. GET REAL NIGGAZ.

  28. YaBoiTone says:

    OH YEAH, AND IF JAY WAS “CASTING A SHADOW” AS EVERYONE PUTS IT, THE NIGGA BEANS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FUCKING SMARTER ABOUT IT AND USED IT TO PROMOTE HIMSELF. 50CENT IS A FUCKING MASTER OF PROMOTION. LEARN A LESSON. SAYING JAY WAS “HOLDING HIM BACK” AND “HURTING HIM” IS JUST ANOTHER FUCKING EXCUSE FOR YOUR OWN FUCK UP. YALL NIGGAZ REALLY DO LOVE TO SYMPATHIZE WITH THE LAZY EXCUSE HAVING NIGGAZ. FOR REAL.

  29. Killerchris2k8 says:

    YaBoiTone – “He is the best selling solo artist of all time for a reason people”
    Please shut up and never comment on anything related to music again in your life.

  30. Nathaniel says:

    @YaBoiTone – couldn’t have said it better. yall niggas look like bitches having sympathy with beans lazy ass. tough love nigga, take these resources, this education from one of the greatest, and go make yourself and your family set for life. like dude said, Jay didn’t do half the shit for kanye and look at ye now. its called true hustle, true ambition, true vision, true work ethic, true passion for what you do. = kanye could never fail. Jay could never fail. beans ship has sailed, he’ll never be as popular as he once was and its his own damn fault. men take responsibility. boys point fingers solely.

    @Killerchris2k8 – you took all that truth that nigga Tone said and pulled one misquote out of it to discredit the nigga. c’mon cuz, u look like the news media taking sound bites that don’t speak to the overall picture painted. and OBVIOUSLY THE NIGGA WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS #1 ALBUM CATLOG. 11. <—no solo artists with more. (and don't say the beatles, they're a group.)

  31. Atron says:

    some of y’all keep sayin oh kanye could make money cause he was producing beans didn’t have that so it’s not fair. F that kanye did it cause his music was good period. if jay had come up under someone big that wasn’t letting him shine no matter what if his music was good people would get that and then buy records and jay would see like oh they like my shit to then be able to go out and do his own thing. beans didn’t cause he was lazy expected jay to hold him up to fuckin baby sit him. y’all parents never teach you to worry bout yourself. I got friends and I love them but they gotta know how to do they own shhhi cause ain’t none of us lookin for a hand out and I’ve got the same boys since 95. all these dudes on here sayin oh jay ain’t no street guy he ain’t got no loyalty, f that wait til one of ya homie snitches on you and you’ll see you can’t trust everyone and certain times you gotta worry bout number 1 and that yourself

  32. Nathaniel says:

    “oh i feel sorry for beans, he’s speaking from his heart.”

    ^and all that shit. speaking from your heart, sounding wounded and downtrodden, hurt and whiny don’t make you right. logic niggas, logic. this shit is plain as day.

  33. Rube says:

    The part that kills me is that Beans had a better career then everybody in G-Unit. Banks had one good album that sold 3 mil but then didn’t even go gold his next project. Wait a few years he gonna be talking that same shit about fif. Yayo we won’t even mention. Even 50 career musically is not doing so well. So what the fuck is he talking about for real. Did Jay stop him from making music? Did Jay say he can’t make albums? Beans has 4 albums and could make another one next year and if its good could sell some records his affiliation to Jay and history of music will keep that spot. But the dumb G-unit comment kills me cause Banks career is over as far as I can see. Nobody on G-Uint making money except Fif.

    I just wanna know about the Power 106 concert with the cops. Jay should have at least called the nigga and told him I’m leaving to start Roc over do you cause im doing me. No man can make me sit and wait, imagine Kanye not making music for years waiting for Jay to hold his hand. Never happen.

  34. MC says:

    FUCK OUT MY FACE WIT THIS BULL SHIT HOV!!!

    Why can Jay do no wrong to you Internet niggaz?? And 50 has nothing to do with this shit. You’re getting off the fuckin topic! How does this explain why he coulda stopped beans from goin back into jail but said no? How does this explain why the whole state prop crew is broke?? How does this explain how he never visited this nigga in jail?? How does this explain how he never jumped on 1 of Beans 1st singles?? How does this explain not returning any of his phone calls?? How does this explain how Hov ditched his whole camp and switched labels without informing niggaz?? How does this explain how niggaz was getting $600 a piece for a show?? How does this explain you borrowing Philly’s rhyme style and giving proper credit?? He didn’t build the Roc brand by himself. He’s a fuckin snake!! You niggaz are fuckin blind to facts!

  35. artofkawaii says:

    yeah, J, but that does not explain how you could throw a homie under the bus when you had the key to keep him out of jail…and it would cost you no more than a three letter word… “yes”… and the occasional phonecall to make sure he’s on track

  36. Don says:

    When you are at a jay z level, this is expected.. Most of us don’t want the leadership position of a jay z in the world because of situation like this.. How much can one human being handle??becareful… Jay z is ours with all his good and bad…hip hop must evolve…or die..

  37. Young Sha says:

    You niggas are deluded if you dont think Yayo and Bank$ make money.

    Yayo gets $50k a show, and he’s just the hype man.

  38. Thomas says:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3071949.stm <<< this story refutes Sigel's claims (@11:20). Still looking for official records from Court in Philly.

  39. cease says:

    fuck beans. its real weak of him to release that record. at the end of the day anyone can talk shit about anyone else. period. friends, enemies whatever. if it helps him to diss jay z cuz hes feeling emotional thats lame. over the years ive seen interviews where beans really appears so ghetto and unintelligent. he didnt use his hustling acumen to the business and he got his shit screwed. he stayed involved in petty crimes doin petty shit. record label, clothing line, record deal, all w/ selling 800000 records come on dude look in the mirror, everyone wanna complain when they money gone and theyre left on bum row. look @ the unit, look @ buck, its the same thing,, only i think jay has more class and will give beans a few more passes before going in. ultimately it benefits jay none to go in on him it benefits beans because he will be able to garner a buzz and hopefully spark some interest in his career which has since floundered. the rap game is so terrible.

  40. moresickaMC says:

    hey peeps. the movement by the fans against Jay-Zs shady ways has moved to twitter

    heres what you do

    just go on your twitter pages and type “BOYCOTT JAY-Z”

  41. yardie_ute says:

    People dnt forget, this aint some BABY AND LIL WANYE type a relationship. Jay aint none a dese cats “DADDY” nor he be kissing em on their lips. He do that to Beyonce.
    Dudes should a read his whole book, Follow his moves.
    Still Jay needs to chop it up wid Beans.
    Big man ting

    I’m a Jay-Z stan but this shit is real. Niggas say Chris raps like Hov but in reality Hov raps like him. Jay found that Philly shit & ran away with it.

  43. yardie_ute says:

    @MoresicKaMC. You a really fucking loser. That’s the prob with us black people.
    I have a fucking University degree and I work, Gonna do a Masters soon. Cos a man like Jigga has shown me that through hard work you can succeed. He is through music, my route is diff. I may not be rich like him but dam i’m a work my ass off. Jay-z like Obama is an Inspiration to me.
    What the fuck have you been up to lately?
    And who the fuck inspires you Fifty Cent? So you can go shoot at people and sell drugs eh?
    Fucking non progressive internet Dunces

  44. Atron says:

    haha @morsickamc why you got a Twitter ain’t no one give a damn about what you do homie. ha this dude came in here like “omg were boycottin jay on Twitter y’all” you a fool. boycottin jay and then talkin bout him on Twitter is a little contradicting no? stop listening to hip hop your a mess dude.

  45. murK says:

    why are yall complaining that beanie is only doing this ’cause he’s broke? i thought he made it clear in his interview that jay didn’t owe him any money. just wanted to talk??…smh. the only reason he made the diss record is because he couldn’t get in touch with him, so he had to speak his shit on a record. besides what he did at the powerhouse sounds pretty foul to me.

    sidenote: what happened to ‘I Get It In’ & “They Burn Me”?…50 shoulda replaced some of them middle songs on BISD..still a solid 4/5. AND BEFORE I SELF DESTRUCT IS BEING RELEASED NOV. 17TH NOT 23RD…(PUSHED UP BECAUSE OF THE LEAK..)

  46. Killerchris2k8 says:

    @ yardie_ute Wasn’t Hov’s last album all about shooting people and selling drugs. Haven’t pretty much all 11 albums been about shooting people and selling drugs. I’m pretty sure when Hov spits ” If Jeezy paying Lebron/I’m paying Dwayne Wade” he is talking about Narcotics.

  47. Barry Washington says:

    What this all comes down to is all of you that think Jay is at fault here you’re stuck in the “soldier” mentality. Jay and the other top people have the “boss mentality”, if you think Beans is right in this situation then that speaks about YOUR character in life and how you’ll always be dependent on others to solidify your own success and will never truly achieve the top position. Beans is being too negative and wants to blame others for his downfall rather than himself. Which is easy to do, that’s why so many niggaz loved ‘Pac (as a person) cause so many people can relate to someone that feels like all their failures are due to someone else and that “no one understands them”. How long can you hold onto someone’s hand for? Over a decade? Please, all of you Bean supporters in these situation will never understand what position Hov is in until you truly reach the premiere status for whatever you’re working for. You can only stay in ditch too long with someone before you realize it’s time to move on.

    “Hate on me, I blew but I’m the same ol G
    People warn me, when you’re on top there’s envy”

  48. ChuckDofdaSouth says:

    To boycott Jay Z music for the reasons mentioned earlier is FOOLISH on so many levels. Not to mention the only thing you are really supporting is the “crab in the barrel” mentality. If we choose to boycott Jay for this, there is a long list of others that should be added to the list as well. By the time the list is done it will include all the labels in rap. I’m a Jay Z fan but more importantly, I’m a fan a blacks getting money.

    The demographics for hip hop is around 15-24. What Jay Z in currently doing is helping to extend that demographic. That’s what the game needs. Ask yourself this…How many rappers that were hot in 2000 are still relevant now? The answer is not enough. That’s the reason hip hop is more watered down now as opposed to 2000. Most successful rappers make their money then move on to other ventures. I’m glad Jay Z is still involved with the game cuz lets be honest…he doesn’t have to. Jay didn’t stop Beans from getting money. Beans will problably profit from what’s happening right now.

    As a culture lets focus on getting money long term and not just right now. Watch the progress we make then…This Ghetto PSA is brought to you from one of the good folks down in Texas…Be easy folks.
