It's funny though because initially to me it seemed like Calvin Klein completely overreacted to the "call me when it makes sense" comment.
But then I remembered that Jay is a master of subliminals & double entendres. And people who have done business with him in the past have confirmed that he throws those little sly disses at people in real life, it's not just a rap thing.
Calvin probably didn't tell the whole story as to how the deal got messed up, but Jay probably was trying to disrespect/belittle dude...

I think it's clear to see he should have let that one go, and worked out a different deal…I mean 10 million can do so much for you, in so many different fields….Either way, I also think Jay has a side to him thats kinda prone to talking down to people, maybe in ways he doesn't even realize….and thats what happened here. You don't have to hold the mans hand, but theres way to phrase things, 'man don't even worry about it, get the next one', but we don't know their relationship, or how they are comfortable talking to each other…..often in a story like this there are so many factors and perspectives, it's best not to take a hardline approach on assigning blame, guilt, culpability. It's not like we have a transcript or their conversations…..That said, Klein comes off a lot better then one might think, even with a few fairly absurd comments….good for him on his ventures., that said I want to say Ive seen several instances in the last 10 years or so of dud coming out of the wood work making all sorts of claims about Jay and his background….he's all composed here, but some of those other videos were the embarrassing 'exposal' type ones….

Lol. You the same nikkas cheerin the way Dame Dash did business though :mjpls:

I never heard of Calvin Kelin is one the big NY drug dealers. Someone give me background info.
Calvin Klein and Danny Dan (Aka Danny Diamonds, he's the guy Jay-Z shouts out in the Beginning of "In My Lifetime" song) ran the Marcy projects in the 80s. He made millions

Imagine being Klein's kids.
Your dad goes away for 14 years, comes home, and then turns down to run a 10 million biz opportunity because of "pride".
Kids, your mom, wife maybe, your loyal friends who held you down during those 14 years all looking at you like :rudy:.

Too many times men put pride in front of responsibility and get things fukked up.
Don't get me wrong, tho.
There are definitely things you don't do and lines you don't cross but going by what Klein said, what Jay said is at worst is some slick shyt but nothing outright disrespectful.
In a way Jay could've been testing him with that slick shyt to see if Klein truly was out of that local hustler mentality and Klein didn't pass it or didn't want to pass it.

Jay makes it seen like he was a boss when he was not. He was a hang around that went with his friends outta state.

He caught an attempt murder charge with Klein in 89 in Baltimore.

And Jay made a lot of money from hustling. He wasn't Klien or Dan's level but he was a six figure kinda dude. He was living well off of it.
