just came in to say this.

they can't stand each other...havent like each other since he 90's and still throw little jabs at each other
but Cam made sure to tell the people in the origin story....Jay was getting it.

Hov was dribbling down in VA, Cam was getting it in Ohio....but what they never got (long pause) was each other.

the thought of Jay acting out Seinfeld episodes got me crying.
Jay walking in the door like Kramer or trying to copy Costanza's voice.

JAY WAS NEVER ARRESTED FOR ANYTHING EXCEPT STABBING UN AND SHOOTING HIS BROTHER....
BUT HE WAS HEAVY IN THE LATE 80'S DRUG GAME???
EXAMPLE 1991 NY HAD 2000 MURDERS ON RECORD
HE COULDNT HAVE BEEN IN THE STREETS LIKE THAT
EVERYONE CATCH'S A BID OR CHARGE
Dehaven mother said she would bail Jay and dehaven out of jail

It’s crazy Jayz, Dame and Biggs came together how they did and built what they built, given their backgrounds. Lowkey inspirational…and kind of a perfect trio. Jigga the talent, Dame the shrewd business man getting things done, Biggs the quiet giant in the shadows. Amazing story…someone needs to tell it correctly, not some thrown together gahbage

His story of being some Tony Montana type of nikka is greatly exaggerated
Did Jay make moves in the streets? Yes
But was he some tyc00n or Harry-O type of nikka? Hell no
I'll never forget hearing Jay-Z got robbed for some jewels when he was down here in VA back during that time. Somebody took his chain when he was performing.
Who ever said this?!?

No one. He laid out about as much details—-especially in this article——of an illegal enterprise that somebody possibly can. But nggas who don’t know better are skeptical so they themselves make it out to be ‘oh he think he Scarface’

He literally tells you he was in a small town and stayed quiet. If you know the drug game even on a small degree you know that’s possible. It’s not all shoot ‘em up bang bang

You’d also have to know VA. No one is randomly lying about southern VA :heh: Before AI, Vick, Neptunes etc no one cared about VA

I used to HATE when people would just say ‘Virginia’ in regards to Jay z. Like bruh where, northern Va vs Richmond vs 757 are all very different

This article gives insight that ok he was talkin about 757, Hampton area

‘Ask Teddy Riley bout me’. Teddy Riley also is from NY and moved to 757 :lupe:


And when Teddy as asked about that line you can tell by how he (didn’t) answer that jay wasn’t lying

Jay-Z’s whole life story needs a television series when it’s all said & done. HBO.
Real shyt. 50 is the only other person that I’ve seen who’s enemies that knew them actually co sign they are who they claim they was.

I love being older, but I miss The Source and XXL, Vibe, Blaze

a major source of pleasure for me as a child, was buying these and looking through them, learning the game, learning about artists, through long ass stories, not insta videos or memes

Going to read this again.

"Everything that has ever happened has to do with a girl." Not that shyt about blaming women's obsession with Dynasty on your appetite for destruction. "No, no, far more specific. You meet somebody and befriend her. You need her and the most thorough nikka in town. Because girls yap, she'll tell you who that is, who has money. You meet him; you've got something for him—better prices. He'll bring everybody else in line."

Jay talking straight street shyt on here, this is the Jay that people don't see, interviewer can be melodramatic, but that's journalism.
