Choke No Joke Reveals Why 'Roc-A-Fella' Ended: Jay Is A "Sucka" For Abandoning Rocafella Team

[@kennethjohnson1020]

Damn, Bruh explained it so clear and matter-of-factly that even my grandma could understand it. Dash has been screaming self reliance and independence forever.

My problem with your mentality is that instead of one man being worth one billion, why not have 10 men as a collective being worth at least 10 billion dollars? My point here is: Why build only ☝🏽 billionaire when you could built 🙌🏽10? Honestly Jay is considered a middle class billionaire, albeit impressive, yet great only by our standards. Which from a global standpoint makes him an economically uncompetitive; One of the fundamental rules of racism btw.

He retired than offered Dame all the masters to his music in exchange for Reasonable doubt...Dame refused. - Jay told all the artist on Roc-a-fella to pick a side during the Roc-a-fella split. Kanye, & Bleek chose Hov...the rest chose Dame. I think we know how those choices panned out. 🤣 - Jay took other peoples money and flipped it into a few billion for himself.

This dude is what you would call a temp worker at the job, he didn't work directly for the ROC, he worked for Dame to record the day to day of his life at that time. Dame didn't even let him film no of those ROC movies, just a tag along for Dame. The best thing Choke ever did was record The Tunnel on Sundays, and put that documentary out.

[@Justice777Allah]

Temp worker or not, his camera was always rolling, so essentially he was the proverbial fly on the wall. So hell yes he is a credible source. It is obvious Jay did his guys dirty, we should no longer have debates over that issue, even a child could connect the dots. What we should debate though is whether or not he had valid reasons to do so.

@@Justice777Allah how did he do his guys dirty, when the day ones and some others like Freeway, Jaz O and some others are still with him in RocNation?
