As a Rocafella diehard man they are wrong from MULTIPLE fronts

1- Beans has a dozen Jay features :what: Free’s most popular song to this day is What We do. He also laced post-break up Free on Big Spenders. Featured on Amil album. :gucci: Various Bleek records and gave away one of his best songs to open Bleek’s album w/ Dear summer

Gave Young Gunz a feature and extra verse—-on a song they’re eulogizing their dead’s man’s. Put Sparks on a feature for one of his biggest singles ever. Went back n forth with Cam on his debut roc album. 2 verses on Kanye’s debut album. But….

2- Bc it’s Jay, nggas gon hate either way it go. If jay jump on a track and it hit, they gon say jay hopping on that artists’ wave. If he put them on his own song, he using them. And if a song DONT blow, they don’t even count it. Even if it’s artistically brilliant (ie Still Got Love). That’s kinda alluded to when jay said ‘I’m still an artist’. Meaning, he’s fukking jay z. He’s not trying to water down his brand by making forced singles 24/7. Big Spender was trash. Ngga Please with Young Chris is a catchy neptunes beat full Pharrell hook …it just didn’t catch! He can’t MAKE shyt pop. But let them and yall tell it, it’s Jay fault that fresh outta jail grimy Oschino didnt become the next rap superstar :beli:

He aint lying. Jay buried many a def jam artist that was from his era. He gets props for his successes and his failures are ignored

And not for nothing. Guy interviewing confirmed exactly what dame said as he eas an a&r said he asked jay himself and jay just said he dont wanna get on records with them. He coulda helped and didnt. He didnt wan risk his name on a potential failure. He was always the “sure thing” guy.

But dont let me distract you from the 1000th dame is bitter thread.

He doesn't have to unless marketing was part of his job title, y'all ignore how many actual job titles exists and put way too much onto the artists like it's on them to do all of this stuff

If your only marketing plan is "make our biggest artist collab with everyone and ride his wave" then YOU ain't really marketing shyt



Clearly he couldn't "make another Hov" unless Hov himself carried the weight of helping him, he got too much ego to accept that
