From what I read at the time, Jay asked Beans to cool out because he was bringing heat on everybody else. Beans still went out anyway and racked up an attempted murder charge. Wasn’t his first incident either. Now Beans is in jail and he expects Jay Z to vouch for the same kids whereabouts that wouldn’t listen and placed everyone else’s careers and lives in jeopardy. This is that failure to be accountable thought process that goes along this type of mindset. So if he gets Beans out and he is just as uncontrollable Jay’s whole life is on the line for someone who has shown already he doesn’t listen. Don’t see nothing wrong with Jay’s actions. It would be different if Jay led him to get the charge. Beans was doing beans against everyone else’s authority. Why didn’t one of the other guys in the room vouch for him. Because Beans was out of control and nobody was taking that risk.

In the interview just now, beanies said, and i quote what if I had to get out, like be on the run type stuff. Well then you would either screwed jay over or he would have had to be on the run as well. 2. You cannot always know and be responsible for a grown person’s whereabouts even if you are they parent because you can not be with anyone 24-7-365. Including your spouse

[@catchemstreetz3139]

When He Said “What If I Needed To Get Out Of Jail.” He Meant “What If The Beef In Jail; Would Have Caused Him To Get Hurt, Or Worse-Murdered.” 💯

[@jerzlowrecords6437]

@@catchemstreetz3139 I know and , I understand that’s what he meant but if you listen again after he says what if I had to roll be on the run & go, because he was facing possibly 40 years. Listen to that, and even still why was he obligated to be responsible for a grown man where abouts, beans is one of my favorite rappers & I don’t like jay z but he has to eventually face the fact that, he knew the type of career Rocafella was offering. He was in jail because he choose that life over his career. It would be one thing if he did something for one of them and that’s why he was in jail. And he stood tall. I can’t stand a lot of our people never take ownership for they crap.

[@kingskimp1338]

He he thought Jay held the type of loyalty he do but he don't that's how it go. Everybody not like you.

[@floydlittle1423]

Yall sounds stupid if u listened he said they were on tour. Tours are pre set he could have easily gave the dates,times, and location of the shows i see u dudes have no loyalty.

[@nomibe2911]

Still don't understand why Jay didn't say yes to that question from the judge. Nothing would've happened to him if Beans got in trouble again.

[@danoppsent.243]

Reputation. If you signed to my label and you known for violence in the streets and goin in and outta of jail, thats a bad look for my reputation as a businessman. Jay was thinking waaay ahead into the future. I doubt he could have got as far as he did keeping a dude like Beans around.

[@karimabdul-qawi524]

This is what I'm saying. If Beans gets out and does some dumb shit,then its like hey I tried to help you bruh. I'm thinking/hoping all these people in the replies don't realize Jay-Z would not have gotten in any trouble at all regardless. I'm gettin my people up out of there under those circumstances.

[@VinceBond-ky2zt]

@@karimabdul-qawi524lmao that’s naive. Jayz was not the only CEO of rocafella tho. Why do you think the judge didn’t ask Dame or Biggs to vouch for beans? They went straight to the cash cow why’s that? Cos they were hoping Jay would slip up

[@mikeparker7562]

If Bean went on the run or hurt someone else Jay would have gotten sucked into all that and whose boss or company would do that in real life. This was a work relationship not a gang. Beans would have had the whole company in turmoil like Murder Inc ended up in dealing with Supreme and everyone could have lost behind his drug addict antics.

[@J_Brown7055]

Beanie was a grown man. They should have never asked Jay Z to be responsible for a grown man. He didn't want to be caught up in Beanie's shenanigans. He was wilding out. Jay Z had his own life, why would he be checking Beanie's every move. I would have said no, too.

[@mjbmjb9525]

The word responsible scared him at the same time if they told him to chill and get money and he didn’t listen then wat makes you think they think you will listen now

[@Logan-0120]

I understand Jay's concern but when the Judge asked him that he was only saying can we trust you to keep an eye on him. The Judge knows that Jay can only do so much, and if it went left, the court couldn't have done anything to Jay. Its similar to a recognizance bond.

[@VinceBond-ky2zt]

Jay probably was like bruh I ain't getting involved in that shit. You shooting people and Im a multi millionaire. Jay keep it real with himself , I hate it happened like that but how can he be responsible for you beans? You was Wildin, he ain't really trust you to stay out of trouble .

[@TheShop90sKids]

I’m surprised by these comments. I really thought everyone was going to be bashing Jay. I mean yeah why is a grown man going to volunteer himself to be responsible for another grown man’s whereabouts. And he made the right choice, listen to what Beans was saying, he’s talking about running away? Yeah Jay would’ve gotten jammed up if Beans fled.

[@duanebrown3360]

if you a real hip hop head ,you know beans was "out" there,we also know how selfish Jay can be,some ppl come in your life for a reason some for season,all he knew was south Philly,and based a business situation on street ethics,big mistake,he should've embraced as an opportunity and that was it,he got too comfortable,and based business on sentiment....

[@zero_grav_original]

Any reasonable individual would have said "Im not responsible for his whereabouts". Its a trap. Beans was on some grown man ish. You can't tell me nuthin'. Hence, the reason we sittin' in court. So Jay vouches then Beans gets on and does his grown man. Then he is a liability for Jay. So when the boys come knockin Jay is open to damages or, he has to tell on him. Either scenario is a no-go to a reasonable person. Its a f*ckin record label. The fact that Beans and his fans think it was a gang is on them. Games fans think the same sh*t about 50. "Its just music, man its just music" Some of yall out here try the hardest to make these verbal movies real life.

I love Beans, but he got shot 2x & got knocked out in his own city on top of multiple legal issues. Jay can't be responsible for a grown man...

[@tedgraham6548]

Man beans know he dropped the bag. Jay had Beans in everything , but beans could not stop being in the streets. Bleek told a story how when he was on tour with jayz, he was sent back home because he wasn’t in the right mind frame. When he realized what Jay was trying to do for him , he got his ish together and never looked back. Beans could not stay out of trouble. 2:51 that’s way to much to ask jayz to do , he was trying to move in another direction, he had no time to babysit you. if he would of said yes , beans would of never stopped doing what he was doing.

Ppl say what they want about Jay in this situation but nobody worth a couple hundred M's woulda said "yes" to that stipulation. You gotta a bunch of shit goin on and now u gotta baby sit a grown ass man, monitor and report ALL of his whereabouts to a judge and if he messes up then you might get in trouble too... I woulda looked Beans in his face and said "U my man but i cant do this"

[@dannyc3774]

Jay is his family but after so many issues, he could mo longer be his baby sitter. That happens with family all the time. Beans can’t expect a babysitter every time. At some point, your fam is gonna have to take a step back
