Jay may just be a cool dude when you actually meet him...Beans was going hard at Jay and Dame, next thing you know Beans is on stage hugging Jay like his long lost father..People diss Jay because he's at the top but when they meet him they seem to flip.
Maybe but Beans knew Jay for years before that...I think he knew he jumped out the window for dissing him bc at the end of the day, Beans couldn't leave the goon life alone so he only had himself to blame ...after a certain point, a grown man who can't stay out of trouble is a liability

Listen man ... when these rappers see their dreams personified via Jay Z and they're washed on some struggle shyt, living with regretsor just getting their footing in the mainstream world , these dudes will squash whatever and show all of their teeth to ham it up with Jay.
A desperate , grown man with bills, kids and dreams deferred will latch onto a nicca who did everything but spit in his face just to sniff some cheddar again ... let alone conduct actual business.
We've seen it countless times with your favorite rappers running back to the exec who did them dirty like a child begging to be off punishment. Cold game .
Get money , brethren . And don't live above your means, stay faithful and you'll greatly enhance your chances at maintaining your integrity .
Real talk! I mean think about it...you're Beans, you haven't had a hit in years, you almost got shot and killed like a year back, the ONE dude who took u out of the hood is the same dude you ended up dissing and biting the hand that fed you and your fam....you get the call to get back on stage with JAY Z, the biggest artist in rap....even if it's only for one night, what r u gonna say? No?! I bet a million dollars Beans wishes he could turn back the hands of time and stop himself from dissing Jay ....there's a reason Bleek is forever good, he remained loyal and played his position
The team he came in with 20 years ago was great as far as pr, promotion, marketing etc.
So his team now has to be nothing short of amazing.
It just makes me think about the "Streets Is Watching" DVD days when Jay was already talking about retiring. It was just an insane thought, but it just added on the Rocafella mystique. Like, do these nyggas really got it like that where they can just hop and hop out?![]()
They were messing with the fans heads, he was already placing a premium on his mere presence. I don't even think he was platinum yet, but he was on some "Ya know rapping is cool but I ain't gotta do this shyt, I could be doing other things with my time".
These rappers act like he's hip hops Pope something ...
The power of repetitive Suggestive language over a fukkin beat is amazing ... he's talked down to these rappers for so many years while mythologizing himself then he backed it with wealth and the programming was complete . Jay took the white man's blueprint and bamboozled the hood and its rappers with it... it's like they grin from ear to ear hoping to appear inviting enough to get sprinkled with some "Jigga water " so wealth will just fall out of the sky for them ...
I knew shyt was bad when NORE was riding Jigga during that bleek interview on some
"Jigga I don't want no probs. . Don't blackball me... I thought I told the story right ... how do I fix this ? And I couldn't believe he actually called me!
Meanwhile Bleek listening like :
![]()
Young, the archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all nikkas
They way y'all all follow Jigga...
He made himself seem legendary to them. nikkas who were his peers get gassed when they get to take a pic with him. It's crazy to me.

At one time, Jay was the very person you're describing.
