Just watched the movie "Backstage" for the 1st time in years and realized that

[jaguar paw]

Wayne is 1 of the few relevant celebs under 30 that's doin it. No surprise there. When he hits 30 bet he won't crack the top 10.

you sure you don't do drugs?

 

[pete clemenza]

I forgot I watched this shyt when it first came out.. man most of them dudes have no business sense whatsoever. Alot of musicians are like this, rock artist are the same.. its not just confined to rappers. Hit the studio, get out on the road, and feed their vices. Alot of them are simply into that 'rock/rap star lifestyle' and are far from thinking about "what will I be doing ten years from now-let me start a brand up" type steeze.

It was funny watching them complain about the tour busses and venues, etc.. but now tours are very rare and plus there's not that many record labels left standing. Its sad really but its not a shocker as well

 

[the cac mamba]

maybe dudes dont want the responsibilities that come with bein what jay is? yall actin like that shyt isnt stressful

dude like meth is livin comfortable, havin fun not worryin about a million fukkin things on his plate

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

whatever makes u happy

and they do ti on camera bc its a part of their image/brand

Weezy smoking on his VH1 special made the fans like him more

 

[JMurder]

Watching this I don't understand how Hov didn't suck 50 dikk when he was comin up in the game. I can feel the Ja hate watchin this, 50 did hov a favor with what he did to Ja, Hov DMX and Ja were supposed to be in the same clique and hov/dame allowed this portrayal of Ja, you would think Hov would luh 50 for the shyt he did to Ja

This was manufactured only for monetary purposes but ego's didn't and would have never allowed it to come to fruition.

the hate is ridiculous

That nicca worth a 100 mill. he can retire at 30 and still

and he is just no becoming a mogul and getting business-minded....clothing line, label, etc...

 

[Sad Bunny]

you know its true

Hova woulda probably sat there with his legs crossed using dictionary-ass words

Weezy kept it real, blowing trees while showing these cacs how a hood nicca can make it

Bill O Reilly was like that

 

[jaguar paw]

Mannnn, smh at this Jay stan creating this thread just to dikk ride camel on front street. So Jay smarter than everybody else cause it looked like he wasn't having as much fun on tour? You do realize that there's a ton of super rich, iconic musicians who fukk, get high, drunk and clown around when they're on tour, don't you? Take Puff for instance All that shyt you chastising Ja, Beans, Red and Meth for don't make them any less smarter than Jay.


Ya'll Jay stans can be disgusting at times

He has no idea what he is talking about. As soon as someone checks him on one of his baseless posts. He just spirals into something else.

I'm saying. Weezy is like a half hour away from being 30. Was #4 overall last year in earnings in hip hop. And he's saying that he won't crack the top 10 this year.

Hip-Hop Cash Kings 2011- Hip-Hop

He just launched Trukfit and got the Mountain Dew endorsement. He's moving in the right direction.

 

[John Hull]

Interesting point in that video. Jay had the cacs paying homage early on. He almost was embarassed how they was suckin him off so blatant:

"THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF YOU LORD HOVA THANK YOU BASED HOV"

Jay Z realizing they were letting the cat out the bag on his behind the scenes demonic affiliations:

"YEA PROPS TO HIP HOP SHOUT OUT TO JA RULE, METHOD MAN, DMX"

LOL

 

[Billy Ocean]

I see. It's just crazy that someone would think that someone is dumber than another person just because they let their hair down and had fun on a music tour. shyt just screams blatant Jay dikk riding.

 

[Lewis Black]

Yall nikkas man smh if you can't see blackthought right you need to get checked ya heard.
Dudes like 50, jay, puffy are focused. Method man tryna get away from that "weed head" gimmick because it's embarrassing. And for all the people here talking about they don't care lol, who remembers 05-08 when them nikkas were complaining about not being promoted smh. Maybe if yall werent drinkin, smokin, pipe smokin then hov would of gave you a chance. Hov an inspiration to the black community. I don't even drink/smoke/do drugs cos i'm above that like my nikka jay


Hov

 

[YBE]

Jay was the only smart rapper in the entire movie. The other nikkas was just content with getting high and getting show money and groupies. It seems if your focused in hiphop like Jay,50,Puff it should be easy to become a mogul. All I could do is smh at Meth and Red, them grown ass nikkas was acting like kids while Jay played the cut and executed moves. Same goes for DMX, I don't know how you get your foot in the door like that and only care about the small shyt like hoes and getting wasted. nikkas like 50 let the Young Bucks worry about that shyt while they stay focused and you see 1 busting dope moves while the other is bragging about buying his chain back from the IRS. All dem nikkas from Beans to Bleak just looked happy to be there. They made Jay look much smarter than he is. Meth and Red are fukking jokes tho. I know everybody doesn't wanna be a CEO or exec but damn, them nikkas was acting like junior high students.





-Backstage is currently streaming on netflix btw.

If I ever break in the industry

I'll be looking at Diddy like you know im not signing that right

How am I a Jay stan when I don't like most of his music? I've never purchased 1 of his albums besides Roc La Familia. Go back and look at all my posts on both here and Sohh and I guarantee you won't find me stanning Jay in 1 thread. Im giving the man his props for being keen in an industry where being dumb,high and ignorant is prevalent. Dude is a walking business model of what to do while every other nikka on the tour is a posterboy for what not to do. If that makes me a stan for stating that then i'll take the title.
