  14. MannyBricks says:

    The Roc is in the building

  15. toad3527 says:

    Jay Electronica > J. Cole

    both are good but Jay Elect has a much higher ceiling. He has the potential to be hall of fame material.

    J.Cole still has some years to improve i suppose, and he is already one of the better young up and comers in this rap game, but I think Jay E is off something else.

    That is just my opinon though, and I’m sure all the J.Cole internet stans will come out the wood work to start hating on me…

  16. Donn says:

    Donn@ Friday, November 12 2010 at 11:34 PM EST

    Go through the site. There is more then that. RocNation is not just a record company. It is everything Music..

    http://rocnation.com/home/

    “Look, mind state of a gangster from the 40′s
    meet the vicious mind of Motown’s Berry Gordy”

    Hov.

  24. jdot says:

    Wait, people are ma because Jay E signed with one of the most recongnizable artists in the world? Ok, just checking.

  25. I'm Just Sayin' says:

    J. Cole, Jay Elec and Jay-Z on a track would b interesting! Willow on the hook? lol.

  26. RC says:

    So is saying he’ll go hard in the paint like we do in the comments.

    Cause we gets it poppin in these comments fam.

  27. Van says:

    Congrats to Jay Z and Jay E.

    Bitter sweet victory. I pray complete creative control was part of the deal.

    Just let Jay Electron do him, don’t change shit.

    For the people that don’t understand that Jay Z has always been god body; this shit is way over your head. “It’s the God mc, me jayhova”, has all ways been and will always will be about god body. That’s all I’ll say. Do the math. Peace God.

  28. haha says:

    This excitement won’t last!

  29. I'm Just Sayin' says:

    “Jay-Z made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.” – Jay-Elec. I hope he gave you an album release date otherwise your just another Lupe. lol.

  30. xtra money says:

    Why r ppl throwing Wale in as a RocNation artist he’s not signed to RocNation he’s signed to Allido Records and Interscope and Managed by RocNation… Dat like saying Rick Ross is signed to Bad Boy cause Diddy’s his manager.

  31. Sony Music Intern says:

    and there goes J Cole career…

  32. Sony Music Intern says:

    i laugh at ppl who actualy believe Jay is a berry gordy. berry gordy doesnt sign 8 fuckin arists at the same time and keep on the label for 2 years and NOT ONE has an album out and keep signing more and more smhhhhhh.

  33. dumb dumb says:

    You know YN is a fake dude right. How many of you cats remember when the Jay Elec vid surfaced of him getting at Em and Jimmy? well YN put it on black out talking all kinds of shit. Now since he’s a dick rider he has Jay Elect as his pic on twitter go figure simple as nigga.

  34. jujusolidfoe5star says:

    jay -z gave a him a slave 360 deal that what all rappers get nowadays but they still sign wit the devil smh fuckin puppet

  35. whatdafuck says:

    Eminem/Slaughterhouse all day. Shady Records is the problem.

  36. Sony Music Intern says:

    I like jay-z music. but him as a record exec is disturbing. J Cole is such a talent and if he just be managed correctly his album would have BEEN out. but no all we got is one damn single with a crappy video and the album pushed back to waz zo. Like where is J Cole going? it feels like hes running on a treadmill. Jay-z i wanna bitch slap u soo hard. ur wasting this talented kid years away u stupid fuck. give cole a song with Alicia keys on the damn hook and giver us the album u bitch

  37. Dashing says:

    This is a great move for Jay Electronica. The purists might dislike it because he’s “selling out” but he got signed as he is and is hot because he is who he is so I don’t think his music is going to change. All it means is more promo, more dough for better production (not that he needs any producer aside from Just Blaze) a likely Jay-z feature, and more exposure. Good move.

  38. Van says:

    If you’re trying to find integrity in this game, you’re looking in wrong fucking place.

  39. Black Shady says:

    why yall niggaz worry about Cole? LOL he’s better than Jay Electronica’s old ass

  40. AnuKiNSkywalker says:

    Thats A good look for the roc.

  41. haha says:

    Jay Electronica will be 40 when he drops his first album…the nigga is 35 already! Do you really believe that this middle aged rapper will be the next generation of hip hop!

  42. dumb dumb says:

    None of those sites combine matches thisis50

  43. scorpio says:

    Lol @ some of y’all. When Cole does drop his album what will y’all say then?

    Jay-Z’s the ONLY person that has released off the label so far, it’s not as if everybody else EXCEPT Cole has put out an album. The label is just getting it’s legs under it, give it some time. Cole’s out there, doing shows and building buzz and anticipation for himself. When he does release he’ll sell because he’s GOOD, not because he’s riding off of Jay’s name.

  44. Post no billz says:

    Oh shit hov is buildin a new dynasty,on some phil jackson shit…

  45. UPT says:

    Yeeeaahh heard bout this deal weeks ago!!!….Wait til y’all hear the recorded they recorded together!!!…#ClassicShit

  46. toad3527 says:

    wale is signed to roc nation management, so i dont think it is a stretch to say he is on roc nation

    rick ross is managed by puff daddy but to my knowledge his company is not called bad boy management, that is the difference

  47. Haters are annoying--> Belize, Android the rick ross stan, Mac Weasel , the bitch boy cold blood, and lucass, says:

    HE’S GONNA BE ON THE LABEL FOR 3 YRS WITH NO ALBUM OUT JUST LIKE J COLE LOL

  48. SOSOCHI says:

    Best news I’ve heard about Jay Elec in a while. The Roc is definitely in the buildin.
