If u don't see nothing wrong with a nikka calling up an artist saying some shyt like that meanwhile trying to push his own female artist i don't know what to tell u. Lol. There wasn't as many female rappers in general so that's why the comparison is dumb. Cause for the sample size. The percentages weren't much worse.

He told The Game something similar 
Jay is a different type of cat. A blunt reality type. In his mind he helping her keep her options open. And 99% of the time he’d be right. But being the bearer of blunt reality can come across as a dream killer
Im short gang and to this day I remember killin it at open runs as a freshman. Called up to JV, varsity coach pulled me to the side ‘you’re really , really good….but you’re short
.’ And just slowly walked off. 
Basically gave me the ‘you’re not making the nba ngga hit the books’ speech early. Jay is THAT type ngga

That's not something you say to someone you have good intentions for on their debut

Basically everyone with a decent single was going gold or platinum in that era.
Oh, its a jerk move for sure. And he was probably saying that because he knew he was about to bury Amil. It wasn't WRONG but it was an a$$hole call to make if thats how it went down

I'm still tryna figure out why Stevie J had her in bed but was using a dildo on her instead of his dikk.

Not to hate, but her career kinda proved his point, no? Might have been out of the loop, but didn't hear much about her after her debut.

Camel has done or said enough despicable shyt to where y'all don't have to get upset over EVERYTHING he does, now.
Sounds like he was just keeping things real with her while still encouraging her with a bit of praise at the same time.

Didn't Vol 3 drop around the time EVE dropped if so
