There’s a reason why all the heads fukk with Jay-z. We only hear the stories that folks tell (DMX deb, Wayne’s taxes), imagine the shyt that we don’t know about

Didn’t Jay also make sure whoever’s gonna sample the HKL sample won’t have to clear it or something to that effect?

Jay an honorable man it seems.

The fact that DMX was able to accumulate such a debt to the label is alarming and a cautionary tale that nobody listens to.

I’m not a Jay-Z fan, but I respect him for doing this and allowing DMX to leave Def Jam debt free. Other executives in my opinion wouldn’t be so accommodating.

Respect to Hov for that..

 

[Wiles]

Jigga MY nikka!!!

 

[Makeitrain]

DMX just spent all that money on crack instead

 

[Champion]

How do you have the hits and popularity that RR had back in the day and still end up down 12?

 

[Ukbrotha]

That is insane. The debt that is. And Hov gesture is incredible. Wow.

That's not even something multi billionaires do so salute Hov.

I remember seeing this somewhere but it was just DMX debt and it was a little over a million or something..

Watching this now..

nikkas still gon find a way to hate hov

hov the goat black story drug dealer to billionaire

helping black people along with way

 

[JuvenileHell]

Can't help but salute this

 

[steadyrighteous]

Wow. This goes way beyond being a stand up move.

That kinda shyt doesn't just change your current situation but your future too.

Being able to move and make decisions without a $12 million weight around your neck stops you from making bad long-term mistakes trying to pay back money you owe.

 

[bordeaux]

gotta respect it.

i wonder how x felt jay did him wrong as president or was that just ego talking?
