Bc, jaz washed Jay z on "jigga what"
This felt like some alpha shyt. JAZ put Jay on, and once Jay started eating he tried to do the same, but now the roles would be reversed. I think Jaz could never see Jay as his boss, and Jay had no reason to make him a partner in the Roc. Probably led to hurt feelings if Jaz thought he was worth more than he was being offered.
It was a choice at the end of the day. Jaz didn't build the Roc, and probably couldn't bring any money to the table as a bargaining chip, he certainly wasn't owed anything.
Today one flies jets and is expecting twins and the other one is couch surfing for train fare.Those are the breaks...

Call me Dad
they was cool up until after volume 2
jay got jaz on originators 2... then tried to get him a contract with the roc
according to jaz.... it was 150k budget with no advance
“What they offered me was a $150,000 budget. I was like, ‘Okay, cool. Who controls the budget?’,” recalls Jaz-O about passing on recording contract from Roc-a-fella Records. “That was the issue. Who’s controlling the budget? Who’s paying for the studio, where am I working at and you didn’t mention anything about an advance in my pocket so how am I supposed to support myself? Damon [Dash] didn’t have write answers, but he made me the scapegoat for both of them.”
according to guru it was 300k
In an interview with Complex, Jay-Z’s audio engineer Young Guru, revealed that the Roc Nation boss once offered to sign Jaz-O to Roc-A-Fella Records for $300,000 but was rejected.
Young Guru: Jay tried to give Jaz a deal. But when he was trying to give him a deal, they were just starting Roc-A-Fella. They gave him a $300,000 deal and Jaz laughed at it. They couldn’t afford to give you a major deal, so Jaz went with a major company. It’s not Jay’s fault.
Jay is like, ‘We offered you a deal, that’s how much we could afford to give you. $300,000 was a lot for you back then, you didn’t roll with it. You fukked up. It’s not my fault. What do you want me to do?
either way, it was seen as a diss by Jaz.... and he went elsewhere
he then asked jay for a verse on his track for the album with another label... jay-z did the song, called "lets go" its rare.... but you can find it out there in some places
he asked jay to show up for the video for the song.... jay said no... so jaz replaced him on the song and basically it was fukk you from there on

From what I remember the straw that broke the camels back ( no pun ) was when Jay didn't show up to Jaz's video shoot on which Jay did a verse for the song.
It's a lot of "not showing up to video shoots" beef between NY rappers I've noticed

Jay was Jaz young bul
Jay surpassed Jaz career x1000000
Jaz was stewing in jealousy for years
Jay didnt show up to Jaz video shoot which was the "last straw" for Jaz
Jaz dropped "Ova"
Jaz now rides the train

Jaz was doing shows off this song everywhere but it didnt last of course
this song sucked. The video too. they had broads out there in bikinis when it looks 40 degrees out there. Jay was smart to not get involved
