Jay-Z is a “horrible” businessman man the story of J. Cole and his masters damn… what could have been 🧐

[-DMP-]

I remember during n that time period everybody on sohh was joking Jay was embarrassed of cole. Lotta folks thought he wouldn’t give home a verse for sideline story too.

And 2 of those were signed by Hov

I don’t believe in conspiracy theories


But one is with jay


He never ever been signed but he got to this level


And telling other artists how to move with contracts and how to avoid bear traps




Be honest the music business is foul


Remember how mad the small hats was when ray charles got his masters back?


And when mike jack went to Japan and brought Sony damn near


The death blow for Mike was 2 things


Owning the Beatles catalog and didn’t want to just give it to Paul…


And the biggest thing was just giving little Richard his catalog for no payment



They went after Mike hard



And who believed them with no proof?






US!!!

I have it on good authority that Jay-Z does good business with artists and steps in when needed.

The underlings at Roc Nation on the other hand are a different story and will try to rob/cheat you out of your money.

My theory with that is

He didn’t want to make it seem they was cool and friendly

Just boss and artist


That roc-a-fella thing made him move different


To this day members of state property are upset they don’t have access to Jay

I have never ever seen so much crying about a man



Even ex wife’s move on after a few years


These guys are still bytching on podcast 21 years later

About the break up


I mean I get it but damn


So I believe Jay said next situation I’m making it clear what’s going on


No “we all family” BS

You might be right

Jay can’t be everywhere


But things slips through the cracks


But I believe Ty Ty runs that part


But it’s really no artist signed to them anymore
