I'm down for good music for a good cause but this ain't the case. The homie Sha from MTV hit me with a question yesterday I dreaded goin' on the record about: How do I feel about hip-hop artists being included in the "We Are The World" remake? Geez, I guess we've come long way since 1985. I don't think you could do it any other way than include our culture which is the pulse of pop culture. But instead of feeling any type of validation, I feel disgust. Seriously, a complete remake of the original song? Celine Dion gettin' her Cyndi Lauper on? Lil Wayne as Bob Dylan? Fuck outta here. Didn't I see Will.I.Am in the flicks? They could gave that nigga an hour plus a pen and a pad and I'm sure he'd come up with something cheesy for no small fee but for free. I'm truly scared to hear what the final product is gonna sound like. Are we really gonna hear the soothing vocals of Nipsey Hussle in the final mix? Highly doubt it. Damn, it's the thought that counts but this just doesn't feel right. Shame on a couple of legendary nuhs named Lionel Richie and Quincy Jones. MJ is turning over in his oxygen tank. 
You know you done fucked up, don't you? You know it, don't you? You know you done fucked up.
Last night, Curtis made a surprise phone call to the Gomez Brothers on Shade 45. He mentions that BISD has been pushed up to November 16th and isn’t too concerned about the leak. He also weighs in on the Jay and Beanie debacle and understands Bean’s frustration.

BILL MAHER SHOW SPEAKING ON INTELLECTUAL TOPICS
This is the most over used statement ever, you don’t know what that man knows, he could be just well read. Intellect requires more than just speaking on a topic or topics. Intellect requires you to formulate an opinion, open up for scrutiny and it to with stand that scrutiny. Speaking on a topic is nothing doesn’t require intellect, just require you or someone close too you to have researched the topic. Let Jay come up with a theory and make that theory fact, that’s intellect. I can speak all day on a variety of topics because I’m well read. With being well read, I can analytically as well as critically think, doesn’t make me smart or an intellect just makes me aware.
First Off American Gangster Wasn’t Heavily Marketed By Bud
That Was The Very Sub-Par Kingdom Come
In Fact Jay-Z Pulled The Critically Acclaimed AG LP Off iTunes Because He Wanted The Album To Be Heard In Its Entirety Not By Single Songs So What You Sayin? And It Was Released The Same Year He Was Atop Of The Forbes
And My Conclusion Is Based On Fact It Seems You’re The One Who’s Conclusion Is Based On Bias And Theres Nothing Wrong But When You Challenge My Opinion With Nothing To Back It Up I Engage In Healthy Discussion I Love Hip-Hop And Keep In Mind You’re Talking About Singles Which Are Designed To Appeal To The MassesFrom The Suburbs of MTV to BET And The Single Debuted On MTV and Is Having A Strong Push Because Of The Yanks In The World Series
Dumb Dumb
“Do You Listen To Rap Or Do You Just Skim Through It?”
And If You Look I Gave A LIST of Artists Jay-Z Shitted On
And Criticized Him Embracing The Jewish Culture When He Knows Beanie And Free Are Muslims
So How Am I Bias
OBVIOUSLY NO ONE HERE AS HEARD OB4CL 2
WHy can’t we address the real issue here.??????Why couldn’t beanie stay out of jail ???? his whole interview is about “I was on parole” , “I violated my parole” “I was in jail” my trial” How long does someone goes the wrong direction so many time and people ask him to cool off and he doesn’t listen.
Beanie is one of the most talented rappers ever but has never evolved out of his self destructive ways.
At what point does beanie holds himselp responsible for his failures ????????
Grow the fuck up and get off JAy-Z’s dick . I am really tired of hearing about people who cant’ take care of themselves since jay went on his own.
Beanie has been in and out of jail while jay-Z was cultivating his place in history. Beanie has mental issues that no one seems to want to address.
Beanie is not managable and is very unpredictable so how could he expect jay to babysit him and be accountable for his bail set up ??
How do you violate parole by gettting into a shout out while your album is about to come out ?
what happens to all the work put in for the release of the record ???
Promotion,marketing,radio,distribution, advertising space all of those mention and many other things that aren’t are what it takes to push a record but when the artist that you are working so hard to push is going to jail, those things that were payed for become a loss.
Beanie is an artist that you gamble on based on his raw talent, he is amazing at getting his emotions off the pages but at what cost ?
Beanie became too expensive and unpredictable that it wasn’t worth talking to anymore.,
Beanie is like a kid who needs to fall in order to understand why he was told to tie his laces so many time.
well, he did fall and now let’s see if he can get up and tie up his laces and instead of venting out , he should apologize for not listenning and focusing his anger on himself and make great work that can speak on his growth not his regression after Roc-A-Fella.
GET HELP BEANIE, still much love for you.
Kingdom Come, was he bigger than hip hop? American Gangster, was he bigger than hip hop? I venture the answer would be a resounding no. A periodical gave you a phrase and you ran with it. Jay is a good rapper, but some of you are just taking this ish overboard with your infatuation with this cat. He is a rapper with a hit song or songs. Was little Wayne bigger than hip hop? his beckon lit up the sky, just like Kayne before him and a host of other rappers. Jay falls in line with a litany of rappers before him nothing more nothing less, you and others in your ilk need to understand this.
Do I listen to rap or skim through it? since your mind is made up, I’m going to appease you and say I skim through it, and can really do without it.
DUDE LET IT GO!
JAY-Z IS BIGGER THAN HIP-HOP!!!
OBVIOUSLY IF A GUY HAS CONSISTENT #1 LP’S SINCE 1998 HE’S DOING SOMETHING RIGHT WHICH ALSO INCLUDED AMERICAN GANGSTER AND KC SO HE’S BEEN A MAJOR PLAYER SINCE THEN
I GET WHAT YA SAYING AS FAR AS MEDIA AND SHIT GOES
NO ONE SAID HIP-HOP IS DEAD UNTIL NAS SAID IT
NO ONE SAID T.I. WAS KING OF THE SOUTH UNTIL T.I. SAID IT
NO ONE SAID WAYNE WAS THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE UNTIL WAYNE SAID IT
SO YES PEOPLE ARE SPOON FED WHAT THE MEDIA TELLS THEM BUT IN THIS CASE ITS TRUE AND YOU DON’T LIKE IT
I GET WHAT YA SAYING BUT LOOK AT THE FACTS
JAY-Z IS BIGGER THAN HIP-HOP
HE’S BEEN ABLE TO PUT HIMSELF IN A POSITION BASED ON STATUS AND FINANCIALLY THAT NO ON ELSE CAN AND HE HAS FREEDOMS AND PRIVILEGES THAT REACH BEYOND MUSIC TOO ME BIGGER THAN RAP MEANS YOU ARE MAKING MONEY HAVE INFLUENCE AND ARE SUCCESSFUL AT THINGS THAT ARE BEYOND RAP TO THE POINT WHERE YOU DON’T NEED RAP ANYMORE BECAUSE “TA DA” YOU ARE BIGGER THAN RAP
IM NOT TALKING ABOUT LYRICAL ABILITY
OR POPULARITY LIKE YOU ARE AND MTV DOES FOR THAT LIST BUT JAY-Z IS BIGGER THAN RAP HE CAN NEVER MAKE ANOTHER HIP-HOP DOLLAR AND BE SUCCESSFUL
WILL SMITH IS BIGGER THAN RAP CORRECT JAY IS DOING THE SAME THING JUST NOT ACTING
ICE CUBE IS DAMN NEAR ON HIS WAY TO BEING BIGGER THAN RAP
SO ITS DEAD DUMB DUMB LET IT GO!!
DO YOU REALIZE YOU DIGRESSED FROM MY ORIGINAL STATEMENT PERTAINING TO BEANS AND HOV BECAUSE OF SOME WEIRD PERSONAL VENDETTA YOU HAVE
I AGREE BEANIE NEED TO DO FOR SELF BUT WITH BEANIE ITS DEEPER THAN RAP
HE AND HOV PROBABLY HAD A RELATIONSHIP ON A LEVEL WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT
AND IT HURTS WHEN YOU GET DECEIVED BY SOMEBODY YOU LOVE
IF WHAT BEANS SAYS IS TRUE ABOUT HOV HAVING FEDS AND COPS DOING SWEEPS AT POWERHOUSE AND SHOTS ON BP3 TAKEN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED HOV TOOK THE EASY WAY OUT BY SAYING WHAT HE SAID I WISH THE INTERVIEWER WOULD HAVE FOCUSED ON THE GRIMEY AND DIDN’T ASK SUCH A GENERIC QUESTION
BUT REMEMBER THE LA LA LA VIDEO WHERE HE SAID HE’LL NEVER MAKE THE NEWS AGAIN AND WE CAN SEE BEANIE SAY “IMA SHOOT YA”
DONT GET REAL LIFE AND RAP CONFUSED
Bigger than HIP HOP as told by Buck Love
Status, Finances, Position, privileges that reach beyond music, you are making money and have influence beyond rap.
These things can’t run parallel one has to be bigger than the other. Hip hop artist that fall within this category are many be it flashes in the pan or ambers after the fire is suppressed.
Vanilla Ica has amassed a fortune based on rap and was able to achieve a nice nest egg outside of rap. This also is very relatable to Hammer, Nelly and oh shit, oh shit how can I forget Master P and Birdman, position, status finances privileges outside of hip hop. Since these things can’t be because of or run parallel with hip hop, they are greater than.
Beans and Hov, what people are failing to remember from the horses mouth, it wasn’t about money, its about love and family.
Judge: Jay are you willing to be responsible for Beans if we let him out on probation, can you guarantee his employment and his whereabouts
Beans: All shit Jay is my Dog I’m out this bitch, time to make some money and be with my family
Jay: NO
Beans: Thank you Jay……..WHAT ooh shit dude Jay, Jay, ….Jay
Judge: well god damn lock this nigga up, next case on the docket
Beans laid down his prima facia case vs Jay Z and all you guys can focus on is the money aspect. The reason he brings 50 up, is because the street run on a different code of ethics, If I’m eating my crew is eating, we family. He thought Jay was cut from that cloth and apparently he isn’t.
“Another thing I don’t get, what is this argument about maturing in music? I’m a grown man with a degree and a healthy income. I’m not some young kid trying to find his way in the world. I like the Incredibles movie as well as scarface.”
@Dumb Dumb, I am 22 and I have a Honorary University Degree, and about to start a Masters.
You sound like a person who all his life was suffering from an inferiority complex and upon achieving your degree you now feel the need to show you are educated. It’s a Hip Hop blog site. No one is saying you need to act unintelligent but your speech is coming across as a bit ostentatious.
You need to relax, they mere fact we are blogging means at the least, we are literate.
You still a dumb old FUCK LMAO
Good for you Yardie_ute, I wish you the best. Take every advantage of your education, it will serve you well, if you use it to the fullest and remember what you study oft times isn’t what your occupation will be, so take those lessons and apply them anyway this is the mark of a true intellectual.
WHY DO PEOPLE SAY: “JAY IS BIGGER THAN HIP HOP”…WHEN HE WILL BE PERFORMING HIP HOP MUSIC FOR AT LEAST 10 MORE YEARS…LIVE NATION DEAL! HE WILL BE DOING HIP HOP UNTIL HE IS ABOUT 50!!!!! SAYING HE IS BIGGER THAN HIP HOP MAKES IT SEEM THAT HE IS BEYOND THE ART FORM…WHICH HE IS NOT! JAY IS AN EMPLOYEE OF LIVE NATION STRCTLY BECAUSE HE IS A HIP HOP PERFORMER…REGARDLESS OF WHAT HIS BUSINESS VENTURES ARE…HE IS KNOWN FOR HIP HOP FIRST!!!!
STRICTLY^^^
STOP PLACING JAY-Z ABOVE HIP HOP…BECAUSE TRUTH BE TOLD HIS EMPLOYERS LIVE NATION…SIGNED HIM TO A DEAL THAT BONDS HIM TO HIP HOP FOR MANY YEARS TO COME…ACCORDING TO THE MEDIA!!!! IF IT WAS NOT FOR HIP HOP HIS ASS WOULD HAVE NEVER SOLD OUT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN! SO HOW CAN YOU BE BIGGER THAN HIP HOP WHEN THAT IS WHAT MAKES YOU FAMOUS? THAT IS LIKE SAYING MICHEAL JACKSON IS BIGGER THAN POP MUSIC/CULTURE…WHEN HIS MUSIC WAS THE REASON HIS FANS LOVED HIM…NOT BECAUSE HE MADE MILLIONS, OR HE SOLD OUT STADIUMS ACROSS THE WORLD!!! EVEN THOUGH JAY COULD NOT BE COMPARED TO MJ…IT IS JUST STUPID TO SAY JAY-Z IS BIGGER THAN THE HOP HIP!!!
JAY-Z IS NOT THE ONLY RAPPER WHO SOLD OUT MSG (KANYE WEST, 50 CENT, EMINEM..SHIT EVEN TAYLOR SWIFT)
JAY-Z IS NOT THE ONLY RAPPER WHO HAS BEEN ON OPRAH (KANYE, COMMON, P. DIDDY, WILL SMITH, LUDACRIS)
JAY-Z IS NOT THE ONLY RAPPER ON BILL MAHER (MOS DEF)
JAY-Z IS NOT THE ONLY RAPPER WHO HAS MADE MILLIONS..AND IF YOU BELIEVE THE MEDIA DRIVEN HYPE THAT JAY HAS 600 MILLION DOLLARS…ASK THE JEWS WHO EMPLOY HIM TO BE THE FACE OF THEIR COMPANIES/CORPORATION (40/40 CLUB, THE NETS ECT.) SO THAT THEY MAKE BILLIONS OFF HIS NAME AND JAY RECIEVES A CHECK AND PUBLICITY (MARLETING DOLLARS TO PROMOTE HIS MUSIC) FOR MARKETING THEIR PRODUCTS AND VENUES…
JAY CAN’T PERSUADE SAID NBA STAR TO DO NOTHING HE DOES NOT WANT TO DO…ALL THOUGH SAID NBA STAR WILL BE A FREE AGENT HE IS STILL APART OF THE NBA FRANCHISE AND THEY PAY HIM NOT JAY…SO HE WILL GO TO WHAT EVER NBA TEAM IS WILLING TO PAY HIM TOP DOLLAR…AND I CAN BET YOU IT WON’T BE THE NETS!!!
“This is what I mean by media driven bs. A periodical chooses a controversial title and it gets repeated as if it is fact, which it is not.”
i TOOK THIS FROM YOUR POST…BECAUSE HOW DO YOU KNOW TFOR A FACT HAT …JAY-Z HAS 600 MILLION DOLLARS…ARE YOU JUST REPEATING WHAT THE MEDIA (FORBES LIST) REVEALS ABOUT JAY…PUBLICITY/HYPE!!!!
And fifty has done it again got you all hating jay pubbing his album and turned beans on Jay cuz before fifty made his statements beans was like he love bp3 is fiya now he got issues releasing records after fifty make comments about jay using beans and not fighting his own battles.
I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY GUYS ARE SO BUTTHURT ABOUT AN OPINION
I THINKS HE’S BIGGER THAN HIP-HOP ITS DEAD LOL IM NOT WASTING A SUNDAY ON THE ISSUE THE GUY IS NOT THE AVERAGE RAPPER AND ITS NOT HYPE
I ALSO SAID HOV HAS HAD 11# 1 ALBMUS SINCE 1998
THIS INFORMATION WAS COURTESY OF BILLBOARD AND SOUNSSCAN WHICH IS REVEALING WHAT THE MEDIA (SOUNDSCAN AND BILLBOARD REVEAL ABOUT HOV BUT YOU’RE RIGHT GUY ITS ALL HYPE)
SO WHAT YOU SAYIN GUY?
KILL YOURSELF
G Unit Radio isthe ultimate group of yes men. That shit got to get irritating. He can take a shit on air and they will act like it was the coolest thing to happen in hip hop. Get the fuck outta here!
They talk about Fifty do this and that for his artist. You gotta remember Banks and Yayo was not just people he signed them was his guys so of course they going to be straight and don’t discount they work them boys moved units. Yayo earned them sprinklers that come out the ground.
$1200 is like this big joke ask Hot Rod how much he got paid to perform at a 50 concert.
ok ok ok,,, everyone is writing a whole fucking essay about who is better, jayz fans says 50 cent is shit, 50 fans says jay z is shit … and some are arguing about if “Jay z is bigger than hip-hop!!! which doesnt really make sense to me because hiphop is just a gender of music and jayz is a human!!
you can argue about hiphop is bigger than rock or jayz is bigger than eminem but not jay z bigger than hiphop so pls shut this stupid argument..
secondly, Jay Z sold millions of albums, he has a lot of fans , hits, classics, and so He is BIG and in fact is bigger than all of us here that commenting and saying shit about him
and so is 50 Cen , hate it or love it his BIGGER than most of the rapper out there.. and yes he got classics!!! MR Yardie-Ute…. hate it or love it, 21 questions, how to rob, so disrespectful (BISD), hustlers ambitions, just to name few..
please stop hating ,, if you don’t like an artist its ok,, but why go crazy about it ,, just listen to the music you like and do worry about this bullshit, because believe it or not , no one is better than the other,, even solja boy is better than jayz and eminem in some people’s eyes, so you should just respect it.
good job dumb dumb
classic is thrown around too freely
Jay and 50 must be paying ya’ll nigga bills…ya’ll debating over these two dudes like ya’ll go to bed with them ever night….hip hop is so f*cking GAY now!!!! I just read an acticle that stated” “Jay Z is probably the only “rap” dude that can get grown men excited. ” How f*cking GAY is that statement!!!! The new term should be: HIP HOP IS GAY!!!!!
@HHID…LOL: YOU ARE SO RIGHT THESE STANS BEING GOING HARD FOR THESE RAPPERS…GAY AS FANS AND ARTIST IN HIP HOP THAT IS WHY IT IS SO ACCEPTABLE FOR GROWN MEN TO KISS EACH OTHER IN THE MOUTH, GOSSIP ABOUT OTHER MEN AND BASICLY MAKE GAY ASS MUSIC BECAUSE THE POPULATION WHO BUYS HIP HOP NOW IS MOSTLY GAY…JUST LOOK @ THE MEDIA OUTLETS THAT SUCK OFF THESE ARTISTS…FOR EXAMPLE THE GOMEZ GUYS ARE SUCKING 50 HARD, RPARADAR SUCKS JAY HARD…FUNK FLEX SUCKS ANY ARTISTS THAT PAYS HIS ASS…THERE IS NO REAL MEN IN HIP HOP…AND I’M NOT TALKING ABOUT THUGS EITHER…REAL MEN WHO WANT TO BE MEN…NOT SWITCH BACK AND FORWARD LIKE FAGGETS…BISEXUALS!!!!!!!!
Jeez reg damn. lol
Here’s it goes. 50 has good insight on it. It’s true. Beans, just chose wrong.
Remi Vs. Drake.
http://www.reverbnation.com/blastmusicconcepts
lol..Jay z aint bigger than shit . I mean he’s good . fuk yeah he is. but nowhere vlose to be the best alive or best ever . i’d rather place Eminem or biggie or pac on the top
and dont talk bout sales . cause you know Eminem is the highest selling music artist of the century so far .
TY REG AND HHIG. NOW WE ALL KNOW THAT U 2 ARE THE COOLEST HETEROSEXUAL MALES ON THE PLANET, BECAUSE U CAME TO A BLOG (A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CONVERSE AND SHARE THEIR OPINIONS ON PEOPLE, PLACES, AND ISSUES) AND YOU MADE IT REAL CLEAR THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE STRONG OPINIONS ABOUT OTHER MEN ARE HOMOSEXUAL??? LMFAO. IF YOU DIDNT CATCH ALL OF MY SARCASM DUMASSES ILL EXPLAIN IT FOR YOU:
You see, a therapists would more than likely question YOUR sexuality, because for some reason you made a connection between men discussing men in a COMPLETELY non homosexual way and being gay? If everyone was talking about abs, dicks, and chest hair then you calling everyone gay might make sense. But everyone was talking about these men’s music careers. This means you HHIG and your girlfriend REG who felt the need to cosign with u (just another follower) must have dick and buttholes on the brain. Noone said anything even remotely gay, but leave it to someone who is either incredibly insecure OR GAY to start making gay comments. lol. its ok to come out of the closet now you two. we wont judge.
