Jay works with what he sees. Its back-scratching at its finest
He gave Cole immediate help by publicly endorsing him and then bringing him on tour, cause he saw potential
If Cole starts getting traction, then Jay will jump in and 1) help a rising brand/investment 2) increase his own brand and relevancy at the same time
If it works, its a notch on Jay's belt. If it fails, it wasnt Jay's problem and he was being "generous". Its a dirty biz, but you can see how one hand washes the other...Jay keeps a safe but convenient distance from the Coles, Drakes, Meeks, Big Seans etc
Didn't he do the same thing with Kanye West? I think J.Cole is sub par, but he has a safe image that will keep him around for awhile. Plus that 360 deal, means he needs to make an album so he can tour. Seems like a win-win.
He did the exact same thing. To be fair, Kanye would prolly blew up anywhere and used to attribute his early help more so to Dame than Jay.
But its true, Jay sat in the whims and watched as Kanye blew up and "borrowed" elements from his image and his music style. Kanye actually acknowledged all of this on Big Brother too
Now, theyre peers and Kanye is doing the same thing with the new generation
Jay dont run roc nation. It's was some artist signed to roc nation on shade 45 one day said they never even met jay z.
