Are you sure man? I am pretty sure The Dips had dibs on that Beat, and Jay was like nah, I got this.
Blueprint artwork wasnt 100% original.

No Jay didn't...Cam lied about that..Just Blaze told the real story on multiple occasions...thatwas a Bleek throwaway beat...and was basically up for grabs...they called Just up and asked him if they could use it and he said cool...but they recorded the song right then and didnt wait till he got to clear the sample or get it mixed and took it straight to hot 97...which is why they didn't make any money off the track...
“Jay walked in and heard it and was like, 'Yo, that's serious,' but he wasn't working on an album at the time. He had just finished Blueprint 2, so he was like, 'Hold that for me.' There's a million beats like that. Jay said the same thing about 'Pump It Up.' Sometimes he'll hear a beat and like it but he won't like it a year later when he's making an album.
So the story was that Bleek didn't want the first version, then he slowed it down, Jay told him to hold it (as he apparently does with mad beats) and cam took it and just said go ahead.

No, he scrapped it cause he was shytting on Nas.

and the funny thing is..the whole Cam exchange beats story was stupid anyway considering it was 2 diff producers involved anyway...Just Blaze didnt create Izzo so it wasn't like Just felt that he owed Cam anything..like I said...Cam woulda most likely had "Oh Boy" either way...the beat was a throwaway by the time Cam got to it..completely diff from what Jay did wit the Izzo situation...
You right Bleek did not want it(he will always be one hit away
).But Jay told Just "it was crazy to hold it for him". Then the dips recorded it and took it to radio.
Starts at 10:20(9:30 on the Dips in general)
Only link I could find of this great interview...
Hypemen Episode 7 Ft. Just Blaze (Podcast Listen & Download) - Refined Hype
Nah, he was throwing shots at Nas on it. But they had gone back to cold war status at that point I believe...
