I legit think that Jay-z dont really fux with Cole like that. Im starting to think that he prolly didnt even sign him to Rocnation or even actively looked for him. It was prolly sum a&r who was looking for another lightskin Drake (alt costume) rapper at the time around 08 when Drizzy was blowing up.

Jay got a picture with every single rapper signed to RocNation besides JSnooze

Think jay's said to hell with even keeping up the pretense of the whole "i'm not just your label head, i'm your friend...your big homie..we're family" thing...so that when the time comes for Cole to get that Tierra Marie/Beans/Freeway "you're dropped from the label" letter from some random lawyer and they call Jigga and can't get him to pick up, he can't say he switched it up on him...he's just a suit now, like nobody expects artists to have personal relationships with the random old white men that run most labels

Surprisingly, Clive and Jimmy are opposite. They really develop relationships with the artist they CARE about. They are more like friends than business partners. Again, this is with the artist they CARE about.

I think that it would just make more sense from a business perspective and a PR perspective that Jay would publicly support Cole. Just think how much bigger Cole would be if Cole dropped a verse on WTT. Coles visability would be bigger than what it is.

:manny: If Cole aint complaining, why does it matter? He obviously liked him enough to make him the first signee to his new label.

Jay-z wants to keep a public distance from Cole, do you think Beyonce said hey I think I'm gonna put J. Cole on my single for my album? Or do you think Jay said put Cole on there.
Just a small example or before he had a real buzz he was opening for NERD and Rihanna all over the country, coincidence?

Cole and Jay are at the same parties, both took photos with the same people but not with each other. It's obviously a PR move.

If anything I think Jay and Cole are closer than Jay has been with a lot of his other "gamble" signees of the past.
