Interviews at the end, and don’t front that song is a classic..

By Michael Partis

On January 16, 2008 a fifteen year Black male from Queensbridge Projects drops out of high school and decides to become a rapper. He makes his first appearance on a song, and spits these bars:

“Street’s disciple, my raps are trifle

I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle

Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split

Play Mr. Tuffy while I’m on some Pretty Tone shit

Verbal assassin, my architect pleases

When I was twelve, I went to hell for snuffin Jesus

Nasty Nas is a rebel to America

Police murderer, I’m causin hysteria”

Do you think any major record label in the music industry would sign him? Would Def Jam executives be at project apartment’s door? Would Dr. Dre sit on a park bench convincing him to sign with Aftermath? And if they did, what would parent companies Island and Interscope have to say about that? Or better yet, what would Bill O’ Reilly say…?

Comments on Jay-Z

LL Cool J states call Jay-Z a glorified president used to attract talent and claims he has a conflict of interest by dropping his own albums.

Artist like Redman , Method Man, Ludacris, Fabolous, The Roots & now Nas, these groups need to have the proper attention. And they need to be promoted properly. And in order to get that attention there can’t be any conflicts of interest. You know the president of the label putting a record out while all the other artist are waiting, that’s a conflict of interest. It has nothing to do with if he is talented or has the right to put music out because he should. But in my opinion, and this is just my opinion, I think with Def Jam and Universal should of did was pay him the money that he deserved as an artist, instead of using him as a glorified president to attract talent, and sacrifice the careers of the rest of the people on the label by accident, by default.
