Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot

THERE IS A HIP-HOP GOD!!!!!!!!
From Willow Smith to Jay Electronica. That nigga is gonna sign Ron Isley and wrap up all age groups. Watch. LOL
Jay Electronica signing is like Dr. Dre making an appearance to talk about Detox. Neither helps my ipod……Ha !
The Roc is in the building
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…
\illuminati
Roc Nation is a mangement company and publishing company right?
That’s what Jay said in an interview
Rihanna

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

“Look, mind state of a gangster from the 40′s
meet the vicious mind of Motown’s Berry Gordy”
Hov.
Wait, people are ma because Jay E signed with one of the most recongnizable artists in the world? Ok, just checking.
J. Cole, Jay Elec and Jay-Z on a track would b interesting! Willow on the hook? lol.
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.
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.
This excitement won’t last!
“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.
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.
and there goes J Cole career…
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.
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.
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
Eminem/Slaughterhouse all day. Shady Records is the problem.
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
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.
If you’re trying to find integrity in this game, you’re looking in wrong fucking place.
why yall niggaz worry about Cole? LOL he’s better than Jay Electronica’s old ass
Thats A good look for the roc.
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!
None of those sites combine matches thisis50
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.
Oh shit hov is buildin a new dynasty,on some phil jackson shit…
Yeeeaahh heard bout this deal weeks ago!!!….Wait til y’all hear the recorded they recorded together!!!…#ClassicShit
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
HE’S GONNA BE ON THE LABEL FOR 3 YRS WITH NO ALBUM OUT JUST LIKE J COLE LOL
Diddy lost.
Best news I’ve heard about Jay Elec in a while. The Roc is definitely in the buildin.
