He offered Wayne 175,000...after lollipop and a milli...that is disrespectful...300000 should have been the starting point if being respectful. And every artist needs continued development. im not saying he needs the treatment of a new artist...but the behind the scenes strategizing to keep an artist relevant is the same as the continual development of an artist...I don't think Jay was interested in that...it certainly wouldn't have lasted until today. And Jay had the ability to stay away from Jay Cole because no one knew JC....but Jay would have been expected to do certain things with Wayne because of the enormity of his name....think snoop and PAC after Pacs deathrow arrival, the public would have expected and demanded it.Jay wouldn't have had to develop Weezy at that point, though. Pretty much just keep him focused and take his call to get shyt done.... think J. Cole. He damn sure wouldn't have been "lean Wayne". Not to mention if that was a little man move by Jay, that ain't shyt on trying to have me killed.
Jay was merely showing Wayne that baby was a small fry...or at least certainly not the biggest fish in the pond. Why else would you conduct business in that manner...we're talking about the potential dollar amount that I'm goin to feed my family with...in the mist of your raucous fraternizing with jeter and other celebs...im lil Wayne and in the midst of these people you offer me pennies and I have to negotiate my end in your club amongst your high profile crew...he definitely was stunting and attempting to lil man Wayne. Basically, go tell ya boss
how we livin.

		
?
no offense to J Cole he's decent,but he aint no prime Wayne in terms of success or skill....And he aint prime Stack on the mic

...Stack was DEFINITLEY a better spitter than J Cole,J Cole might be more marketable to black women which is huge in hiphop...But we gon say a lightskin nikka with rhymes waaay slicker than Drake didn't have as high of a ceiling as J Cole?The Jay cosign would've pushed him through the roof
...I mean he could of, maybe just to rob baby of Wayne...but for some reason I just don't see jay the bidness hu doin that.
