Awkward Moment…..Jay-Z introduces Jadakiss, Green Lantern on the wheels

(cringe) So much for magical moments, lol….
(props to Nigel at RealtalkNY)
Here’s my colleague’s hilarious play-by-play of what happened…
“So Hov introduces Jada and Green puts on “It’s All About The Benjamins.” Jada says the, “it’s all about the Benjamins baby” a few times and then says, “I ain’t doing that, that’s Puff’s song.” So they cut the music, the artists are talking on stage and it’s maaaaad awkward. So Green puts on “The Champ Is Here” and Jada’s like, “oh, you just gon put me on the spot, uh?” A few seconds in, he’s like, “they don’t wanna hear that! You can’t tell me you ain’t got none of my records.” So Green starts looking and before he gets a chance to find the record, Jada’s like, “just do the Roc Boys, man.” It was the most awkward thing ever. So Roc Boys starts and you see Jada go over Green’s computer to see what songs he has on it.”

I wonder if green lantern is still tight about how jada played him behind that 50 song. I’m sure Hov will get those problems ironed out. I can’t resist saying that the ROC resurgence should effectively cease the dipshit ‘movement’. All praise due to Allah!

hahahahahahahahahaha
Jada can’t just do a freestyle over either beat to keep the crowd happy and kill the awkwardness? He can’t do an acappella like Jay?
No. He can’t.

I am not a hata…..but i hope jada doesnt think signing to the Roc is going to change his situation.It probably puts him in a better space creatively than before but i dont see this going far.Look at redman,ll,fabolous they aint even gold.Signing to tha Unit (G Unit) might’ve been a better move.ANY WAY GOOD LUCK JADA.(poor sheek probably somewhere just being broke him and j hood)

jada just kept it real. Business wise after all he’s been through his career I can perfectly understand that for that fresh start that being on the Roc is he didn’t want to come with that Puff shit again. NOT AGAIN. too bad Green didn’t have one of his record. In my opinion he should have had even more than one.
Not a big deal anyway. Jadakiss will breing fire to the ROC I hope u guys don’t get it confused.

So what’s the problem? let’s be real how many hits does Jada have? only four
1. The benjimans
2. We gonna make it
3. Why
4. Knock Yourself Out
and all of his hits be needs to have another artist featured on the song, Puff, Styles P, Anthony Hamilton and Pharrell. Green’s probably still tight about loosing his spot with EM because of Jada, Who knows.
holla at ya boy

I don’t really think that was such an awkward moment, I’m glad Jada bout to come upside a few rappers heads, Jada on the Roc means more Jada/Just Blaze more Jada/Kanye Jada/Hov, yo its about to go down, N-a-s and Jada in the same building Y-O! Hahah(Kiss Sound) He abou tto go in!!Ringtone rappers!!!They Shooting!!!its all good, like B.I.G Poppa said, No need to playa hate/UPS is hiring!

Sean Mayor Jada got 4 hot joints?? Dog I guess if you dont know, you don’t know.
Billboard Charts e.t.c do not represent the hood Jadakiss is in the Top 10 list of a majority of hip-hop fans. My condolences to Kanye West and his family but he aint top 10 on no ones list MTV maybe but who cares?

WHY would Jadakis remember the lyrics to “The Champ is here” Once u have done 10 years in the game u are not going to remember a joint unless u had it as a part of your set for an extended amount of time. Much as Jada smoke….Nah
Cant really blame Green cuz while it was happening Im like what else could he play? I thought of 2 guns up but that was pretty much it. Jada is known for lyricism not hit songs. U cant introduce a dude to WHY!

November 14th, 2007 at 6:00 am
LOL Jada couldnt even think of a song for him to play cuz he probably would have made a suggestion.

I’M LOSING RESPECT FOR JADA IN SECONDS FLAT.HOW DID HE SIGN WITH DEF JAM AND LEAVE HIS “BROTHERS” ON KOCH?
AND THAT WHOLE SET-UP THING JADA DID TO GREEN LANTERN SHOWED HIS BITCH SIDE.YEAH GREEN FUCKED UP BUT JADA RECORDED THEIR CONVERSATION AND PUT IT ON A DVD,WITHOUT GREENS CONSENT.THATS SOMETHING A GIRL WOULD DO.I DID NOTICE THO,GREEN STARTED TO PLAY 50′S JOINTS AGAIN ON HOT 97 BUT STILL DOESN’T FUCK WITH JADA’S MIXTAPE RUBBISH.(LETS TAKE IT DOWN SOUTH)

i don’t see how anyone could be making excuses for jada. there’s probably 3 or 4 songs in his entire catalog that he should NEVER forget the words to, “all about the benjamins” is one of those songs.

That was awkward but honestly it’s been a while since he’s had a hit …. can’t blame Green lantern.

November 14th, 2007 at 2:22 pm
It was clear he wasnt ready…I bet he was high as hell, but you a rapper kid you gotta be ready to spit for the fans, but all in all that was a great look all them on stage together…
And everyone hatin on Jada need to stop cuz catalogs are radio spins, but he has alotta a records under his belt (2 albums, 2 LOX albums, countless mixtapes, countless features), give the guy a break…YO Standup!!!
It’s the ROC!….2008 gon’ be interesting.

[...] Empty handed: After Jay-Z introduced Jadakiss and brings him out on stage, DJ Green Lantern doesn’t have any beats for the ‘Kiss’ creating quite the awkward moment to say the least. [...]
November 14th, 2007 at 4:41 pm
That scene sums up Jada’s whole career…

I been sleepin` I dint know how greazy Jada did da` Lantern, bad karma no doubt…
I like JADA and all… but will his album really sell; you can’t be mad at the guy for signing to the Roc; at least he will a nice signing bonus and some free gear…
ps. I do kinda agree that he would prolly sell more units if he would have signed with Fiddy

All this talk about signing wit 50 or jay is ruining this music genre, when it comes down to which garbage pop mogul will you sign with something is wrong, when you leave your dudes in the dust and sign with ppl who don’t have real love for you and just think they can make a dollar off of reinventing your career with candy beats and they may be able to pay for the flavor of the month rapper to get on your album, cats gotta start thinking about the people who have listened to you for years and built your career, that nigga that co-signed your shit when you was a bum, shame on jada, j-hood, nas, jim jones – this is why sales are down, no diversity in the game – this shit is turnin into some red sox vrs yankees BS
Support loyalty, support good music, support your local mc’s. Selling out is making the whole game stank like hot garbage, shouts to mcs makin real music for there ppls and fans, instead of stop snitchin, stop sellin out
Realize your place and make the rap/hiphop market fun and competetive again
Shouts to alll the underdogs grindin everyday

Thats terrible right there.I don’t even know what I would have done but run off the stage.
I think Jadakiss is a great rapper,or should I say one of the best,but he needs to start making better songs as a whole.Because that cd my boyfriend always plays in his car is pretty bad.I can only mess with like 5 out of 18.
