this is not true

jay said the shyt in a XXL interview, once again, nikkaz spouting off madness with no receipts no facts as if it they know something to be true, and what they are saying is clearly false

Damon Dash Talks Jay-z & ‘Reasonable Doubt’

Jay-z pegs ‘Reasonable Doubt’ as his ‘baby’. In an interview with XXL, he revealed that if he was given 100% ownership of the masters to ‘Reasonable Doubt’ he would have given up the rest of his masters, his position at Def Jam and Roc-a-fella Records.

So I was like, let me get Reasonable Doubt and I’ll give up [the rest of] my masters. I’ll give up Roc-A-Fella Records, I’ll give up president and CEO of Def Jam Recordings—everything. Just give me my baby to hold on to so 10 years down the line, I can look back and I got something—I’m not empty-handed. And I was the one being offered everything. I thought it was more than fair… And when that was turned down, I had to make a choice. I’ll leave that for the people to say what choice they would’ve made. That’s about it. I don’t really wanna talk about Dame or Biggs. I don’t have nothing negative to say about them.

It happens more now than before. Getting your masters back is like a parting gift for completing your record deal (assuming you negotiate correctly).

You’re definitely right about it being more common for ppl to own their masters today, but I really don’t think them giving back your masters as a parting gift was common at all back then. The labels can’t eat off you if they give you back your masters and you are no longer signed to them. Maybe there was some fringe cases where people negotiated that but I can’t imagine too many artists were able to do that.

This whole Jay sold out Kanye to Def Jam narrative is some anti Jay propaganda though. Jay sold Rocafella and the masters to ALL the releases under the label are included in that (Cam’ron, Beans, Bleek, Young Gunz, etc). To make it seem like Jay specifically gave up Kanye’s masters for his own is really skewing the truth.

b b but Dame is just a hater
i never liked jay or puff. fukkin snakes
So you conveniently forget this: Beanie Sigel said Dame stole from him. Jim Jones said Dame stole from him. Currensy sued Dame. An independent book writer just won a lawsuit against Dame for him stealing her script. Every person Dame does business with goes sour. Who’s really the snake?

Jim Jones Is Not Happy With Dame Dash

Watch this story by Artemus Gordon on Instagram before it disappears.

watch once Ye eventually controls his Masters, you won’t hear a peep from him in regards to being a “freedom fighter”. You will be able to hear a mouse piss on cotton first.
THANK YOU!!. This is what I was telling my cousin yesterday. Kanye is the most self-serving motherfukker ever. He only doing this because he ain't got his shyt (which he could have BEEN negotiated YEARS ago). And once Kanye gets his shyt he ain't going fight for or argue about anybody else's shyt.
