*i know these are musicians, but this convo is about more than the music which is why i posted this in the general forum.*
i'm sure by now we all know what went on with the Jay/Roc and Jay/Beans situation, if not, wikipedia is your friend. But having a random convo with some heads today, this subject was bought up.
Admittedly, I'm a Jay fan, but that didn't sway my decision that he did the right thing. I felt as though him and Dame finally had their outs and the lines of communication shut off. Dame started being extra by making these business decisions without including his partner in on the decision making, so he kinda had to do what he had to do so that his brand could advance to the next level.
as far as the Beans situation, i felt like Beans was just becoming too much of a liability and a headache for Jay who was now a lot bigger then the rap genre and expanding his brand to other markets. Beans wasn't gonna learn how to be a law abiding citizen and Jay couldn't handle that type of responsibility of someone of his nature...
or couse, when we get into this conversation, the question of loyalty and being a snake pops up. true, Beans would have bust his guns for Jay throughout their whole relationship, but at some point should you still carry that person around??? Yeah Dame pretty much started Roc-A-Fella out his trunk and helped lead them to the powerhouse they were, but should he get a pass despite his shady business tactics...
my question is more so geared towards the NT community...what would you have done in this situation or do you fell Jay was right in his decision to cut ties with the people closest to him to advance in life???
