@ Comment #19 Bylaw
At least you understand what went down. Jay KNEW bout Cam’ron becomin president but he for whatever reason didn’t want it to happen. They were supposed to hand Rocafella to Bleek and Cam and Jay didnt want that. He even said in a interview Cam had a reason to be mad and that if he was in Cam’s shoes he’d be mad too. Jay a foul person. His fans are just blind to that

Whatever Jay did was to get back @ Dame,for making Cameron president of Rocafella some time ago when he was over seas chilling wit now wifey Beyonce’. Dame fell to realize you cant make those type of moves when you are not the only one one that is on top of the command chain. It has to be mutual decision.I mean he should of known he was gonna get at him in his rhymes, he act like he dont know him lyrically.SMH

JAY-Z ”I knew that was going to be your first question. Like, I’m not in the business to talk about guys I did business with—I want you to print all this—been real tight with, for over 10 years. But since there’s so much out there, so much has been said, I will say this one thing: I’ma just ask the people in the world to put themselves in my shoes. However the situation happened, whether we outgrew the situation or what have you, it was time for me to seek a new deal in the situation. While I was doing that, I was gonna leave Roc-A-Fella Records, and if anybody can imagine building something from nothing, and being the main driving force for that, and then having to leave all your legacy and everything behind, I know that’d be a tough situation for anyone. While I was seeking out another deal, whether it was with the S. Carter Records or what have you, there was a deal on the table to be the president of Def Jam, continue running Roc-A-Fella, CEO-president of Roc-A-Fella also, and get all my masters back. But since I was the one that wanted to leave, I was like, let me try to figure out some way where everyone can be happy. So I said, let me have Reasonable Doubt. It’s not a money thing. Reasonable Doubt, if you look at it, it sells, whatever it sells in catalog. Maybe a hundred thousand a year. It’s very little money, but it meant everything to me because it was my baby. It was my first one. And it was also more of a principle thing: Just give me something, something to walk. Something to hold on to. I don’t wanna walk away from Roc-A-Fella Records—if you can imagine that—with nothing… So I was like, let me get Reasonable Doubt and I’ll give up [the rest of] my masters. I’ll give up Roc-A-Fella, I’ll give up president and CEO of Def Jam Records—everything. Just give me my baby to hold on to so 10 years down the line, I can look back and I got something—I’m not empty-handed. And I was the one being offered everything. I thought it was more than fair… And when that was turned down, I had to make a choice. I’ll leave that for the people to say what choice they would’ve made. That’s about it. I don’t really wanna talk about Dame or Biggs. I don’t have nothing negative to say about them.

Underdog—I see your point too. No hostility in here….just fun!!!

Either way I do feel that Jay did him dirty. That just sounds funny, he did him dirty….oh damn, I just jizzed in my pants…(haha, that Andy Samberg skit is hillarious!)

Maybe it was wrong to leave some words out of the actual quote. But to be honest, when I listened to the video (which I did before actually reading the headline, if that makes sense) I ignored the fact that he said “could be viewed as” because, let’s face it, you don’t have to know him personally to know he was being PC.

Or maybe I’m just one of those guys who takes what he wants to hear and runs with it. It was wrong, but is there anyone who read the headline and it influenced what they saw in the video? This is in line with all the borderline “clap back” things we’ve seen from Dame since the split.

Maybe I’m not easily influenced by what I see or hear because people’s opinions are injected into a lot of blog posts and I choose to agree or disagree based on what I take in. I didn’t even notice the headline was adjusted. I don’t even think it was done on purpose. Was it?

@NYCguy – You’re probably right. Anyone being corrected can take something defensively. Once again, I didn’t mean to be derisive and I apologize if you(missinfo) took it that way. I just see it way too much with a lot of journalists and it drives me crazy. Also, a lot of writers do it expecting their audience not to react to it or question it.

@KP – I found it very respectful of her to respond to a listener even though they are “Grammar-Nazis” and make outlandish(yet not far-fetched based on today’s media) accusations about how you treat your viewers. Hehe – see, I’m not always serious am I?

You know what I was really upset about though? Not one of you referenced my line from the Diamonds Are Forever Remix with Jay-Z. And you call yourself hip-hop fans??!!!

Totally agree with you miss info on the quotes, but not a reason to attack you, or get offended (I felt he was). And while you are accurate or try to be accurate most of the time, this is your blog, not really a news site…not trying to belittle your site at all, it’s informative and fun. I enjoy it a lot!

But thank you for responding.
