[It's nice] to spread your blessings and take time out, especially during the holidays to appreciate people who never get that appreciation,” he said. “It makes me feel really good to come out here, [with] my family, and I just thank y’all [the Los Angeles Mission] for allowing us to be apart of this.”

Monday, December 28 2009 11:01 AM EST | Posted by: Big Homie | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Jay’s right hand man, explains why he chose not to sign to his Roc Nation label. In this case, money isn’t a major issue.

“I coulda went to Roc Nation, but then what am I getting out of that? Another $150,000 check advance, then I come out [and] sell 300,000 probably, somebody makes two or three million, and I gotta mess with the fact that they gon’ say yo you bricked out? Like that’s the industry. And that’s [with a label run by] my homie. Now if [it's] somebody else, [they] might not even get a 150 [thousand dollar] advance, they probably go get 30. And plus I’d rather be on my own, fam. I been in the game, like you said a decade now, I know what to do; I know what not to do. It’s time for me to have my own record [label]. I got a lot of niggas behind me that’s ready to get they shot. And me being behind Jay, they ain’t gonna never get they shot.”
