if they can get jim hosting club nights 2-3 nights a week at 3-5k each, rocnation could maybe net around 50k commissions in a year's worth of appearances.

but knowing yimmy, he won't want to do that sort of thing and likens himself to a headliner that deserves a bigger guarantee.

Jay signs Nas at Def Jam... signs Fat Joe and Jimmy to Roc



clearly he on some egotistical shyt and signing everyone he beefed with just to say they work for him, right?
Jayz had no input or dealings with Nas' contract with Def Jam. Nas signed a multi million dollar deal with Def Jam that LA Reid initiated and negotiated with Nas. I know you're trying to fit Nas into your scenerio that Jayz is signing all those he beefed with as some sort of boss move but I assure you Nas does not fit into your narrative. During the time LA Reid reached out to Nas to bring his talent to the label Jayz was nothing more than a long term artist and a short term employee at Def Jam and his signature was NEVER needed or implemented when it concerned Nasir Jones. To quote Jayz, "Nas and I really have a good relationship." They used their individual dealings at Def Jam to build a partnership and both moved on to bigger and better ventures outside of Def Jam.

funny thing is, people used to say Jim had an eye for scooping talent but the more years go on ByrdGang was literally handed to him.

Max got out and hit up Cam about the rapping and Cam said he couldn't take him serious because he just saw him as Charlie Rambo from his building so he sent him to Jim and it was Bobby Trends that pushed Jim to bring Stack in.

worked out well because ByrdGang Vol.1 is a classic tape.
when summer hits i put that tape on...

:whew:

I never understood the problem nikkas had with Nas stans until right now. these nikkas act like females

The cold part is I'm probably a bigger nas fan than the nikkas who got emotional over me saying nas signed to Jay

It's a management deal.

Jim Jones Signs Management Deal With Roc Nation

Jay Z seems to be in a conciliatory mood of late: three weeks after bringing former rap nemesis Fat Joe into the Roc Nation family, Dipset rapper (and another former thorn in Jay's side) Jim Jones has also signed a management deal with Roc Nation, a source confirmed to Billboard. As part of the deal, Roc will handle Jones' music, fashion, acting and other ventures.

The Harlem MC, alongside his fellow Diplomats members Cam'ron and Juelz Santana, has had issues with Hov for over a decade, dating back to the early-mid 2000s when Dipset was signed to Def Jam/Roc-a-Fella Records, and the subsequent division between Roc co-founders Jay and Dame Dash. Jones and Jay exchanged diss tracks several times over the years -- most notably when Hov flipped Jones' No. 5 Hot 100 hit "We Fly High" into "Brooklyn High" in 2006 -- but the two have now seemed to have set their differences aside.

"As you get older you realize that most of your peers are either dead or in jail,” Jones said in a quote provided to Billboard. "The fact that we can move past the BS is a testimony [to] how much we have grown."
