He gave dude a deal
Gave dude a label
gave dude a clothing company
gave dude a sneaker company
showed real interest in making him some type of star
Jay didn't give Bean's shit but a chance to prove himself,which he did.
Dame set all of that other shit up for him,which if some of you were listening he says out of own mouth "Dame embezzled most of the State Property Money and including the partnership he had with Pro-Ked's that had the SP symbol on it"..Bean's said that thats awhole nother matter and brushed it off.
Jay is part of an era where every artist that came into the game was either co-signed or they had a crew behind them,be it industry cats or street dude's,they had a solid team behind them.Jay didn't have a crew,a team,jay was co-signed by Jaz & he had the experience of being out there in the loop of the industry but that was it.Jay went and linked up with Dame & Bigg's but remember they are corperate dudes at their core,business is business.Jay needed someone,some group,some real cats who could rap to give him that street credibility,that authenticity, which he had in the begining but lost due to putting out single's like "Sunshine","Big Pimpin","Song cry","Girls-Girls" but in the end it gave him the audience he needed to get over that hump also of just not being a dope lyricist,street artist or only being able to make street albums.
So he goes outside of him homebase,which is the biggest city in america(NYC) and the place of his birth,Brooklyn,NY which is famous for producing talented MC's and alot of other things.That alone should make you ask....why?.
The answer is simple because he needed to use some "real" talented dude's who weren't to close to home(NYC) but not to far away(eastcoast) so it wouldn't come off as fake,not real,and foriegn to the masses who were slowly buying into the whole Rocafella brand.And if he chose to(Jay) he could ship them back to Philly on the first thing smoking never to really be heard from but through,hear-say,the grapevine and whichever magazine wanted to jump out of a window and publish whatever issue's or story they had with him personally or Rocafella as a whole.In turn he keeps himself at a safe distance and the Brand(rocalfella).
But as it turns out that didn't happen,Dame,Bigg's and Jay fucked themselves up,along with the whole Rocafella brand and anyone and anything that would follow behind that,that was
associated with Rocafella.Jay saved himself which is what he was suppose to do,moved on to form bigger and better relationships that paid off for his own brand,"jay-z".But once he became president of DefJam and had the power to release all of the former artist of his old lable(rocafella) and socalled friends,little-homie's,which was dissolved into DefJam and he didn't when he could easily have released them with no problems. There you have it ....THE PROBLEM.

Its 09 who in the fuck wants to be on DefJam records?and being the type of artist Bean's is,they,DefJam ,the lable wont give him the push,nor would they put that much vested interest into anything outside of The Dream,Neyo,Ri-Ri and Fabulous.LA Reid,as DMX say's the chinese slipper,pink scarf wearing boss probably wouldn't even sit down with someone like Bean's,unless he do a Joe Budden internet blog and his buzz becomes so big,until he's forced to have to sit down with him.


Bean's has a right to be upset and I would be mad also.
