X use to be my dude, i was young and _ had me feelin his music like i knew about his pain

flesh on my flesh is still one of my favorite cd's

...now I just hope dude gets his life straight

 

[youngjordan23]

The part when he mentions the flip flops had me rolling. For whateva reason tho i really feel that X isn't coming off jealousy or hate like most otherartist i think that jay may have really done something grimy to dude

 

[frankdolla]

Isn't Jay the reason that there was never a Ja/Jay/X group?

 

[sylvestermcgrizzly]

As if Jay cares what X gotta say...

...sound like a spurned lover...get over it and make that next meeting my %+%*@....He did have the game on smash for a hotminute but that rock has had him on smash for life...sad

 

[travman24]

Always makes me sad to see how my fav rapper X has fell from grace. X ran things back in the day. Its Dark And Hell Is Hot, Flesh of my Flesh, ... Than therewas X were classics. The Great Depression was iight but his last 2-3 were pure crap smh.

I will def. give you the 1st two, but And Then There Was X a classic?....

 

[travman24]

^ yeah man it was! If you have the album put it on.

[sylvestermcgrizzly]

Nah i have all of X's albums up until Great Depression...And Then There Was X had its moments but it is nowhere in the same class or ballpark as the 1sttwo and those were undeniable

 

[inspektahdeck]

son just salty cuz him and Jay came in the game around the same time and their careers took opposite paths

 

[Master Zik]

Regardless of X's situation he has a right to be mad and at the end of the day he's right in what he's saying. HYall acting like he's the onlyone who's expressed their distaste of Ol Man Jigga during his presidency on DJ.

For the ppl making excuses about how he was a figurehead and he wasn't making any moves that's even worse than if he did have the power and was #@*%@#%up. You get put in a situation like that and you content with getting a check and working with some lame artists instead of trying to do something with it thatwould benefit hip hop and music as a whole?

I just don't understand it. If I took the job and they thought I was gonna be on some figurehead shhh cuz of my popularity, working with w/e would'vehave benefited me they'd be in for a surprise but we've already come to the conclusion that this guy isn't the type of businessman.

Meth & Red just dropped an album. Where have you been? It was a really good album too.

I honestly think LL low key retired with that last dud. Ask somebody from Cleveland what's good with anybody in Bone Thugs

 

[youdontknowme]

His point was that they don't receive the commercial notoriety / marketing push NOW...that they were blaming Jay for not giving them THEN.

You got Joe Budden complaining about his project getting shelved...but when the smoke clears...the only place he can put an album out through is AmalgamDigital.

Everyone who spoke out against him were the _'s who weren't going to get a push from ANYWHERE in this current state in the game. The _'s that wasmaking the type of music that sold...were the ones who ate. That's not Jay's fault...that's politics. And even still it's a lose/lose for himbecause when it comes to the people that achieved at least moderate successful under his tenure (Jeezy, Ross, Rihanna, Fabolous, Ne-Yo, etc.)...critics aregoing to say they made themselves hot or someone else is responsible...but on the flipside...Joe Budden has to keep himself relevant by video pimping his girlon the internet and getting punched in the eye on blogs...and that's Jay-Z's fault.

I tend to try to stay away from these types of arguments that revolve around the business aspect...because at the end of the day...most people are going to lettheir feelings regarding the artist influence their take on hearsay information about business or personal dealing that we didn't take part in.

False, Joe didnt want to go to another Major.

And I will never understand how people hate so tough on Jay's stint as president. He didnt give those a marketing push who he knew would not sell. He putout Rihanna, Jeezy, Rick Ross, The-Dream all who hav sold well. So in my book duke did a good job, altough he may have brushed off cats that he knew wouldntsell.

I'm pretty sure all the artists on DJ that was doing it the same time with Jay was expecting something different than that same talk. It justtakes hype and good music to start a movement to get your sales up. I mean at least going gold. They look at what he did as no different than anyone else beingin charge since they got no type of support and I'd assume that's from every angle. As far as getting credit there is none to get if he was just afigurehead like ppl are saying in here. He did what he was suppose to do just by doing a collab or being in someone's video.

I really don't get where most ppl argue this from he either was the president had a hand in artists on the come up success and ignored other artists on thelabel or he was just a figurehead and had no say and just played that role for the money.
