This whole thread is a giant 

another jay shock thread fromAs y'all already know, Jay was willing to give up EVERYTHING.... just for the masters of Reasonable Doubt.
Dame gave him the, and while y'all think Jay really won from the Rocafella fallout....he LOST, and he lost in incredible fashion.
While y'all acting like he's your father, and how that much money is a win,no matter what.... he still can't buy his masters back from Dame....and that dude is bout to be evicted from his house.
The farther Dame plummets from grace, the greater the L increases...cause Dame will hold onto that shyt forever, just to spite Jay.
If you really look at it, it's on some storybook level of an L......Dude gained everything, but didn't get the one thing he wanted.
Jay owns 1/3, Dame 1/3 and Burke 1/3.
I'm assuming that Burke will sell his shyt to Jay from Rikers and he'll cop the other third from the IRS.
But really, I think jay only said that shyt to act like a good guy and paint Dame as an evil insidious terrorizer. "Hey I just wanted my baby, not the Def Jam presidency which would lead to me obtaining the rights to my 50 milly catalogue and I didn't want Dames share of Roc-a-wear for 20 mill so I could flip the owning rights for 200, I just wanted the full legal rights to RD".
Dame messed up signing most of the rappers who hated Jay-Z. He broke up the Roc because he felt the walls closing in on him. Dame should have just chill with the millions he made, the grind is 10x harder in this weak economy.
He lost to me because let's say the Roc lasted. He would be getting his own money, part of the Dipset money, the Philly boys money, Kanye and whoever else they signed. I wouldn't give a damn if Cam was the VP or if Dame was making all of the decisions without consulting me. That's less work I got to do and as long as the work getting done I'm still getting paid from it. As long at the paperwork straight and I get a piece of everything then I'm good. Let Dame run the show, what the hell do I care?
I agree with everything u said. I just think Jay dont wanna artists gettin bigger than him on his label. Plus him and cam aint get along. Too many ego's was on that label. They all just bumped heads. But dammit that label was about to be some epic shyt. Joey and twista was tryna get on there.He lost to me because let's say the Roc lasted.
