Had chorizo scrambled eggs & steak fries earlier. The craving was too real.
My cut ends in two weeks! I'm sitting on so many fatboy recipes right now waiting for this thing to be over, Evernote's about to tell me it's got no space left.
Thanks for this link. Some of these slingers listed here are interesting as hell.

lol @ Ghost blaming Jay. Everyone celebrated when Hov got the Def Jam job because they assumed that as "one of us" he would let the money flow. Jay did what he always does: he ran it as a business, and rightfully so. Projects with low sales potential - you know, like a lazy Ghostface r&b project or wack LL Cool J album - were put on the backburner while projects with more sales potential (Nas, DMX) got shine.
Plus how can you hate Jay considering he made sure The Roots could release Game Theory without much of any label fuckery. He got that done and deserves dap. Obviously he couldn't get it done with their next album but hey, what can you do.
Ultimately I think a lot of this boils down to the entitlement mentality of a lot of older rap cats. Jay-Z had no obligation to just give you a six figure budget like it was 1996. And yea his own albums got big budgets but...he was one of the top 3 hottest dudes in the game at the time. Rap is a business, you have to work. And if you don't work, the label isn't obligated to give you a handout. Look at how Jay ran his own crew before the Def Jam deal. He told Bleek to put some work in, to actually hustle, release music...what happened? Bleek didn't do shit and is now back in the projects.

lolwut
X's career died as soon as Jay sat down in that office when he decided he didn't want it out. He had two albums finished, ready to go, didn't even want a marketing budget, and Jay deaded that.
I think we can all agree Jay made tens of people millionaires, but it wasn't without his picking and choosing.

dammit double post
Jay-Z and DMX frenemy situation is a weird one. That legendary marathon rap battle, then those rare early collabs before they were all stars, then both of them blew up simultaneously in 97/98, recorded songs again and toured again despite both being top dogs in that time period, then Jay eventually became CEO of Def Jam and the master of DMX fate, then you all know what happened to X (not to say Jay is to blame for him being a lawless crackhead lmao, but you can be sure that the rivalry translated into the business). The producers pick their words carefully even when they talk about that first rap battle.
It'd be nice to hear one of them comment on it sanely. Too bad DMX is incoherent and Jay doesn't talk about other rappers like that.
stay worrying about resolution and framerate when you decide to play on consoles brehs

I thought Year of The Dog was a Def Jam album under Jay, my bad.
oh well, by that time DMX was a crack head so it's hard to be sure. The fact that Hov didn't do Nas dirty tells me he didn't fuck with DMX, X fucked himself.

Yeah that shit is turrble lol. Muted the shit out of thatalright. so my first mistake was following KRIT on facebook. But my god, some of these memes that his social media team is making are just atrocious.
like cmon man, you gotta make your own memes?
Amen.
Of course we all know they don't actually care about the resolution and framerate themselves, they just want talking points for their console wars.

Check out Time is Illmatic.. documentary is pretty good, really introspective into his lyrics, why he used to say some grimy shit back in the day, has parts with Q-Tip/DJ Premier/Large Professor and the other producers talking about how the tracks and beats came up. They really go into every song on the album.
Concert itself was really good, Nas was interactive with the crowd, shaking hands and signing CD's/shirts etc, took a hit of some dudes joint on stage during One Time 4 Your Mind. He played Illmatic in its entirety with a couple different beats during some verses, all 90's style. Then he ended with Hate Me Now & Made You Look. Really good concert but it was shorter than the average.
