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 :lolbron:

Now, theyre peers and Kanye is doing the same thing with the new generation

I see Dre is doing the same thing too, notice his distances himself from anyone who is about drama. He walked away from $100 million label, so he aint having all the bickering.

The music industry does that to you, because a cosign is worth its weight in goal and being black balled means starving. So dudes will ass kiss before they tell you how they feel. Jay is probably all business, because all that crew love nonsense is very confusing to someone who needs the money to get his momma out the projects.
