So... we'll never hear from him again?

[Phil Hartman as Ed McMahon]You are correct, sir![/Phil Hartman as Ed McMahon]

 

[Ace of Knaves]

Haha, where'd they send Shyne to? Poor Black Rob

Carl Thomas was signed under him as well right? Diddy's R&B artists get it too

Like Whoa!!!

That was a sick tune, I remember that when I was in my last year of school. Any one heard the remix with Elephant Man n that? It's dutty tune.

 

[SouLeSS]

Anyone else pick up Tech Nines KOD? Probably not, but you should. Most of the tracks are banging as hell, and tech's the master of lyrics as always.

I've been listening to Kid Cudi's new album nonstop lately.

Me too! It's great! Truly enjoyable and new.

That remix was entirely too long. Just when you thought it was ending, someone new came in.

I just started to listening to it. "Demons" is probably my favorite so far.

Beanie Sigel to Sign With G-Unit, Calls Jay-Z 'a Crumb'

Last week Beanie Sigel unleashed the Jay-Z diss track 'Average Cat,' which hit home hard enough to illicit a response from the Brooklyn rapper. Sigel's recent mission to salt old Roc-A-Fella wounds didn't stop there. Sigel has become chummy with part-time Jay-Z hater 50 Cent, but not just for the sake of beef -- there was business at hand.

"Beans is coming to G-Unit," the G-Unit CEO announced on Philadelphia's Power 99 radio station this past Tuesday (Nov. 3). And although this deal comes as news to most of the hip-hop community, 50 explained that he's long had an interest in signing Beanie but was deterred by the Philadelphia rapper's former boss. "I thought that [Jay-Z] felt that he would be losing something to me, when they wouldn't do the deal," 50 said.

50, who has had warring words with Jay-Z throughout the years, said he was willing to drop big bucks on Sigel during his peak. "It was at least $800,000 ... at least with the heat that was around him at that point," he said. "I'll tell you what I paid for Mobb Deep -- that was at least $800,000 at that point. There's no way [Beanie Sigel] wouldn't have got that." The details of the new contract have not yet been confirmed but it seems that Sigel's alliance with 50 stands firm. Following the new partnership announcement, Beanie jumped in to address Jay-Z's allegations that he squandered away the opportunities he was handed, including a record label and a clothing line. "You didn't give me a record label," Sigel defended. "It only cost a couple hundred to search the name, State Property Records. I think I paid another couple hundred dollars and I patented the LLC company. My record label only cost me $700 ... maybe $750. I did that on my own."

Sigel also went on to make it clear that his fallout with Jay-Z wasn't over financial disputes, but because of a lack of loyalty. He accused Jay of not having his back at a 2004 weapons trial. "When he was on the stand," Sigel explained, "He spoke good things about me -- I'm an incredible artist, this and that. So, [the judge] said, 'So, if I was to release him today to continue to go on the Roc The Mic Tour together, would you be willing to be responsible for his whereabouts?' And it was silence ... and he said 'No.' Sigel vowed to continue his tirade against the former Roc-A-Fella CEO until there was satisfactory retaliation. "He is a crumb. I'm gonna put my foot on his neck until he responds," Beanie said. "Please make a record."

Here we go again

 

[Wylie Times]

How could anyone be shocked that Jay-Z has no loyalty? Jaz-O, Amil, Peedi crack, Foxy Brown, Dame Dash and a host of others should be evidence that Jay don't give a damn about anybody lol

"Bleek could be one hit away his whole career,
but as long as I'm alive,
he's a millionaire.."

I wouldn't be one bit surprised if all those peeps he cut off ties with did some greasy ish. S**t happens when you're one of the biggest artists around.

And why is Beans mad about that court thing? Another man shouldn't be held responsible for your actions, and you sure as hell can't expect him to when you're in trial for being irresponsible.

It's more likely that Bleek has some dirt on him than EVERYBODY else doing him greasy...Think about it nearly EVERYONE that Jay was thought to be tight with has some degree of beef with him now.

 

[Bond]

Beanie Sigel been smokin that la-la-la?!

 

[RockSP]

Or Bleek is smart enough to stay in his place. He ain't @#$% with Jay, he probably realizes he'll be less than #$%@ without him.

Meh, It's still way too many people who have issues with that guy for it to never be his fault. Especially when you look at the situations with Dame and Jaz.

 

[RockSP]

Oh, I'm not saying he's never at fault. I'm not one of the Jay Hova worshippers.

You gotta look at it on the other side of the coin as well. None of these people are s**t without him. Could very well be stemming from jealousy and/or the "you need to give me more!" complex.

Jigga Warriors is the proper term.

In the case of Bigg, Dame, and Jaz, Jay wouldn't be where he is today without them. Hell most of the significant signings to the roc-a-fella label was done by Dame.

and also from everything that's been said it's not so much a "you need to give me more" thing as it seems to be a "don't step on my neck and keep me down" kinda thing. There was some truth to what Beans said about Jay always having singles coming out at the same time his did, and I still bug off the fact that a group album for the label suddenly turned into a Jay-Z solo album.

And for the record I'm saying all of this as someone who is actually a big fan of Jay. I was actually listening to American Gangster earlier today.

Indeed. Jay didn't give a damn about Kanye until he blew up.

Those three gave him a start. At the end of the day, Jay made himself, and no one can truly take credit for that.

Let's be real here though, did Beanie EVER have what it takes to blow up? Ditto for anyone else in the Roc? I really don't think so. That doesn't excuse whatever mishaps happened during his promo time, but there are 3 sides to a story, so I'm not about to just believe one over the other.

Jaz gave Jay his start, but Bigg and Dame were his partners and were the main ones behind the business side of things, I'm not saying they "made" Jay but they both played huge roles in his success.

I still bug off the fact that Jay didn't want to originally sign the dip set.

He was NEVER going to be huge superstar but he had the potential and buzz to be much bigger than he is now...If it were just one or two people who used to work with him that had a problem with this dude I'd agree with you. When Jaz suddenly started taking shots at Jay it I thought it was due to jealous, but when more and more people start being pissed at him and they're all saying he did the same or similar things to him. I don't think it's a reach to come to the conclusion that Jay is doing people dirty.

 

[CrypticOne]

Has anyone seen the Wu-Massacre trailers yet? Its for Method, Rae, and Ghost's new album coming out in December. Can't wait for this project.
