[@hmosesmamulu6491]

My take. JAZ was great but Jay was always looking to next level, and Jaz couldn't take him there. People call it being a snake but Jay has an incredible talent for recognizing value in people and exploiting that value. Most ppl keep alot of ppl around longer than they should

[@DrawnApart]

Aight for the youngins up here ... JAZ-O DID TAKE OFFENSE ... to the point he went on thee offensive with Jay-Z multiple times & multiple disses & subs when Roc-A-Fella was on the rise ..."getting ninjas from Philly" 😂😂.. Jaz-O also suggested that Jay-Z is down with LGBTQ back in the 2000s on video (dvd) making a gestures with his hands (poking a finger threw a hole) saying "Jay is down with this type stuff". Jigga Man had Jaz-O out in the cold for a min. & Jaz-O was tight about it. FOH with the fake cool sh!t ... Or atleast tell the story accurately. Actually... whats Jaz-O relation to Roc Nation now ... what does he do ? Manage artist ?

[@Milt-g4f]

Facts!!!

[@problemsolver9308]

He has an independent record label named Kingz Kounty distributed through a Roc Nation subsidiary.

[@mikeparker7562]

Jay Z set Jaz O up with a distribution deal....which is code that Jay is basically giving Jaz O money for nothing to be straight and that's pretty decent of him.

[@DrawnApart]

​@@problemsolver9308 No where on Roc Nation website nor in there verbage does it mention Kingz Kounty as a label or in general. Nor is there any word regarding distribution of anyone. What does the artist roster look like on this Kingz Kounty label? Name us a few or tell us who their flagship artist is.

[@DrawnApart]

@@mikeparker7562 Exactly... 😂😂😂

[@jstepheny63]

Shout To Jaz-O & Jay-Z, I'm happy they're cool now 💪🏾

[@mikeparker7562]

I like Jaz O's honesty but a part of me feels like he was expecting more from Jay and the ROC than he merited. He keeps saying Jay treated him a way and he didn't take offense but clearly he did to an extent. He wanted Jay to make special efforts at the time to invite him onboard with a big contract or something when he should have just did like Bleek and played his role and Jay would have always made sure he was an millionaire. I think he has realized that now and he is playing his role and Jay is treating him like the Big Brother he is and making sure anything he needs he gets. Being too prideful can block your blessings sometimes. It's cool that he is able to reach out to Jay when he needs to and say I need you to handle this or I need you to set this situation up for me and Jay makes sure it gets done. I'm sure if Jaz just asked for a monthly stipend Jay would make sure he got money deposited but Jay Z has realized Jaz would take offense to that like he was treating him like a charity case so he just waits for Jaz to let him know what he needs and gets it done for him.

[@UrbanMediaReview]

I agree with all that but him and Jay z aren't cool currently are they?

[@marvred]

You got some truth. But you say be like bleek, bleek is a SON. No REAL man with skills want to be a son. JAZ was still caught up on his hype, that he didn’t turn into growth. So i guess Jay saw that he wasn’t going to go any further.

Whats Jaz-O about 60? Jay Z basically sent him some crumbs by sending him the Roc piece. Jay Z dont talk that Rocafella shit anymore. He produced “Aint No”. His lyrical cred alone coulda opened more doors. Homey shoulda read the tea leaves and made better moves for himself on the strength of that. Everybody cant go. Thats the sad reality of the rap game. Honestly I feel bad for him.

[@mikeparker7562]

From what I heard from Jaz O's previous interviews out his own mouth is he ask Jay to set him up a situation to his liking and make sure he had whatever he needed and Jay Z said Say Less and made it happen immediately. So fact is the unspoken truth is Jay is making sure Jaz O is good and taken care of and doing it quietly because he knows Jaz O is very prideful.

[@BURNurbie]
