If you’re waiting for Hov to respond to Beans, don’t hold your breath. Making Easy Money tells MTV that Jigga doesn’t have time to address Sigel’s jabs.

Ain’t no time to look back. Where [Jay's] at, no time to look back. If Jay looks back, it’s the back of the G5 [jet], luggage. He’s gone. We don’t need that. Where’s the problem? When [all the Roc-A-Fella artists] signed their release paper and went their separate ways, it was no problem. Now it’s a problem. Why do you need to talk?

Yeah that’s Solo on the left and this photo’s fresh. Speakin’ of fresh, this is the real deal mastered version of Badu’s collabo with Weezy. Listen to the old one here . Clear the wax out and see if you can tell the difference. Hey, I really dig this joint. Mars’ mama really needs to upgrade this. It’s deeper than a bonus cut.
