Jay-Z Speaks On Balance In Life & Staying Grounded

November 4th, 2009

“Making music is art,” he continues. “It doesn’t change who you are as a person. It doesn’t mean you’re entitled or you’re above the law. You still treat people as human beings. It doesn’t change the laws of the universe. Life has a balance and for every action there is a reaction. So if you put negative energy in, negative energy comes back to you. You have to live your life within the laws of the universe and I haven’t lost sight of that.

“You have to be close with your foundation and the people who know you best because they’ve known you for so long that they can see the changes in you,’ he continues. “Fame is such a deadly drug that you can’t see the changes because you are so consumed by it. You need a close-knit group of friends and family to make sure you stay grounded.”

I guess Beanie Sigel fell out the close-knit group by going to jail and not being focused…

REMOVE THE GAY ADD NIGEL. shoot. Anyway, Musically, I am a Jay Z fan. As a person, I despise him.

Naw, he’s quoting the book The Secret. It’s about the Law of Attraction in your universe. Where if you put positive energy into the world thats what you’ll receive. And if you think about something that you want to achieve all the time, you will eventually achieve it, but the law of attraction states, whatever u think about ..will come to you. two words. BULL SHIT.

Tell that to the starving African kid, who thinks a crum of bread everyday. Believe in God people.

Why the nigga gotta be the “anti christ” all of a sudden?He says that b/c thats what he believes.He seen his self being a rapper so he became a rapper,he seen his self marrying beyonce so he married beyonce.His theory is true to HIM and thats all that matters.Some of u guys are OVER opinionated like he said” So if you put negative energy in, negative energy comes back to you”.Chill out and let him do him.

Well im gonna kick it to u dummies who dont understand how to play chess and dont understand what 50 is doing, 50 is playing incredible chess at the moment. For the dude that said 50 has nothing for J your either dumb or naive, its not about lyrical skill its about 50 business plan held against Jay-Z business plan. Jay-Z hasn’t been responding but 50 knows jay isnt gonna come back with a real response (because jay thinks he’s so cool that he doesnt have to compete anymore) So what 50 is doing is trying to force Jay’s hand,by getting artist who was very close to jay to join forces with him. As a result they’re gonna get so much exposure on dissing jay-z that its gonna put him in a corner which jay is gonna have to respond or keep quite and look like a unloyal b*tch,but now he’s gonna have to go through Beans to get to 50,which is something he doesnt want to do,because Beans knows too much and is lyrically killin Jay-Z right now! this is the same exact thing Jay-Z used beans for. 50 is gonna use him as his guard dog against the camel man. While 50 makes money off of the controversy,he’s making a move and its a good one. Oh by the way i heard SHYNE has been talkin with 50 since he’s been out, so u know what that means. He’s building a team around him that is street certified and very competitive

Its amazing how intolerant some people are. If God and Christianity is the way for you, then fantastic. Live your life according to the doctrine of your religion and keep it moving. People believe what they believe and if it makes them a better person, then so be it. This is why we have so many issues in the world. So many people can’t/won’t let other people think differently from themselves. Ridiculous.

@JC

How old are you? NO WAY you are older than 17. I don’t mean it as an insult, just that you are not speaking from a mature standpoint. Do you even understand the ground Jay Z has broken? He doesn’t have to respond to shit. Now, for the sport he may decide to, but by NO means will Beans going at him have an effect on any moves that he makes. The real disloyal person here is Beans. Not only is he disloyal in this situation, but he was not only disloyal to the brand, but also disloyal to his own wife and kids when he was out there drinking, druggin’ and getting arrested every other month. You can’t get more disloyal than that. This thing he is doing with 50 actually makes him look far worst that he is trying to make Jay look. Fifty is using him and his ass is so thirsty, he can’t help but travel the road.

@JC Says….You Can’t be serious. Why would Jay feel force to respond to this. Look at Jay’s Blueprint. He has laid the ground work to show us all, how the guys take shots at him. He has stated this many times on record. He knows there motives.

Jay’s plan against 50’s plan, doesn’t even match up. 50 is a worker and Jay is a Boss. Check Roc Nation and then Check Interscope. Jay makes descions that affect 50’s Career (Kanye vs 50). That was Jay and 50’s boss, Jimmy Iovines brain child. Jay isn’t reviving the old he is creating the new (Beans = old, J. Cole = New). Simply put rap moves forward with Jay. What new have you recieved from 50? Reviving NY Hip Hop my ass!

LOL man HOV NEVER RESPONDS “its not that im too big to listen to the rumours, its just that im too damn big to pay attention to em” -dre. Everyone caught on to 50’s plan by now i mean its been happening everytime the guy needs sum hype, he goes at sum artists, mainly the ones who are big at the moment, he keeps beefin and makin tracks and talkin about them in interviews until no one gives a fuck and he moves to the next guy, 50 is NOWHERE NEAR HOV and if you think that then man your delusional , the mans got 11 #1 cd’s, 40/40 clubs, hotels in tokyo and not to mention a way longer rep sheet in the game itself, 50 looks up to hov he just cant admit it yet cuz hes a bitch.

Hold up u from from Brooklyn and u taking up for not having ya boys back when he’s in jail. Not sayin J put him in jail, but him sayin “no” in the courtroom, compelled the system to keep him in there,in the f*ckin whole. What part of brooklyn u from?, then after the nigga was in the hole he didnt get into contact with dude, he didnt even call him to tell him “to keep his head up”now thats fucked up GRIMEY!

@JC

Again, you are speaking from a VERY immature standpoint. I don’t know where you work, BUT there is NO WAY my boss is going to agree to be responsible for me, especially since I have a drug and alcohol addiction that keeps getting me in situations where I make bad decisions. That’s the problem with you kiddies, you don’t have a father or a father figure to help you make wiser decisions. Real talk JC, if you ever prosper to a point where you have attained so much in life and you have an employee that could jeopardize the moves you make with their actions and you’ve continuously helped them out; DO NOT be stupid and take responsibility for them. As a grown man, you should not be trying to be responsible for another grown man. Seriously.

Also, you did say, “dissing jay-z that its gonna put him in a corner which jay is gonna have to respond or keep quite and look like a unloyal b*tch”. That is where my comment was aimed. Jay Z does NOT have to respond to him to prove anything. In the grand scheme of things, there is nothing Beans can do to effect Jay Z or his dealings.

LIKE HOV SAID NOT EVERYBODY CAN BE BOSSES SOME PEOPLE ARE WORKERS AND BEANS WAS A WORKER THAT WASNT DOING HIS JOB SO HE GOT FIRED.
@ #12 SOME PEOPLE DONT BELIEVE IN THE DEVIL. SOME PEOPLE BELIVE IN GOD AND BELIEVE THAT HE GAVE U A MIND TO MAKE CHOICES. HE DOES NOT CONTROL OUR CHOICES. WE CONTROL OUR CHOICES AND OUR CHOICE TO HAVE FAITH AT VARIOUS LEVELS. IF U THINK ABOUT SOMETHING HARD ENOUGH AND U PUT POSITIVE ENERGY INTO GETTING IT, YU CAN ACHEIVE IT. U GET OUT WHAT U PUT IN

@ JC LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW. BEANS SAID HOV TOLD HIM TO FALLBACK FROM ALL THE BATTLES BUT BEANS WANTED TO ANYWAY TO GET EXPOSURE FOR HIMSELF. AND THE JADA ISSUE HE SAID HE KNEW JAY AND DAME WERE BREAKING UP SO HE MADE THE DECISION TO BATTLE JADA SO THAT AFTER THE ROC BROKE UP, STATE PROP CUD STAND ON ITS OWN FEET. BEANS DIDNT GROW UP IN BROOKLYN, BLEEK DID AND THAT’S WHY HOV GOT HIS BACK. THEY HAD A RELATIONSHIP BEFORE RAP. BEANS WANT JAY RITE HAND MAN, TA TA IS AND BLEEK IS HIS SIDE KICK. BEANS IS A WORKER. HOV SAID BLEEK IS IN HIS WILL NOT BEANS. BEAN WAS AN EMPLOYEE. AN IF U GET LOCKED UP TOMORROW, WILL UR BOSS COME SEE U? HELL NO. U PROBABLY WONT HAVE A JOB WHEN U GET OUT. ITS UR FAULT U GOT LOCKED UP.

@ #20. FOXY GOT IN TOO MUCH TROUBLE. THE BOSS HAS NO TIME TO BABYSIT WORKER WHO DONT KNOW HOW TO FOLLOW MORALITY CLAUSES IN THEIR CONTRACT. AND HOV TOLD US ON THE END OF “MY FIRST SONG,” OFF THE BLACK ALBUM, THAT DAME WAS ROBBING ROCA FELLA.

Talkin’ bout progress I ain’t lookin back
You know I run track Try not to get lapped
People keep talkin’ bout Hov left em flat
Try to re-write history Lets talk about facts
Dame made millions Even Jaz made some scraps
He could’ve made more But he didn’t sign his contract
As far as street guys We was dealin’ crack (D’HAVEN)
That’s just how the game goes I don’t owe nobody jack
Grown men want me to sit em on my lap
But I don’t have a beard and Santa Claus ain’t black
I repeat, You can’t sit on my lap
I don’t have a beard Now get off my sack
Scream at me (BEANS THINKS HOV IS TALKING ABOUT HIM AND STATE P)

Thank you, Thank you, thank you You’re far too kind
Hold your applause This is your song not mines
Thank you, Thank you, thank you You’re far too kind
Do me a favor, don’t do me no favors I’ll handle mines
(THIS LINE LET’S US KNOW THAT JAY WAS TALKIN BOUT BEANS TRYNA BATTLE PEOPLE FOR HIM. BEANS ADMITTED ON CAMERA THAT JAY ALWAYS TOLD HIM TO FALL BACK.) AND HOV SAID I’LL HANDLE MINE

Dangers approaches We’re like wait who’s this?
Let us save you some trouble son
What size suit you is?
This way after the Ruger shoots through a few clips
You can lay in your casket just as you is
We appreciate the target practices
We’ll be sure to send flower baskets kid
(IN ANTICIPATION THAT BEANS WAS GONNA DECIPHER HIS LINES AND TRY TO BE A TOUGH GUY, HOV LETS HIM KNOW THAT HE HAS SHOOTERS. BEANS ALWAYS THOUGHT HE WAS TH SHOOTER. HOW DUMB IS THAT? WHY WUD HE LET U KNO WHO THE SHOOTER IS, ESPECIALLY IF ITS ONE OF HIS ARTIST. HE WUD BE DRY SNITCHING ON BEANS)

Can’t they see that it’s foolish to try and kill me with songs (TAKE NOTES BEANS)
what the fuck are they doing, they kill me softly
You talk me to death, only thing you can do to him
I open the door for them, what else can i do (STATE PROPERTY, BEANS AND OTHER RAPPERS)
These nigga’s want me to walk for them, somebody talk to them
Before i go off on them

I taught-em about fish scale they want me to fish for them
They want me to catch clean, then cook up a dish for them
All of this just for them, or they got a diss for him
( I TOOK THI TO BE DIRECTED AT ALL RAPPER HATERS BUT BEANS THINKS ITS ABOUT THEM)

I done cut up the rock already (HE MADE THE ROC HOT NOT STATE P)
So why the fuck can’t ya’ll get hot already (already) (REF. TO BEANS N STATE P
Put your name in the pot already, niggas compare me to biggie and PAC already
Like im gone already and i am nigga i’m already home already
If ya’ll can’t already see i aint worried about ya’ll cos i’m already me ( HE’S NOT ORRIED BOUT BEANS)
Do you already, enough of the complaining bo-who’s already. (BRUSH UR SHOULDER OFF)
Eat food already, aint nothing given you gotta claim your shoes already.( BEANS STOP LOOKIN FOR HANDOUTS)

nd niggas don’t be mad
Cause it’s all about progression ( HE GOTTA KEEP IT MOVIN, SORRY STATE P)
Loiterers should be arrested

to E from Bk…..Hold up nigga im not 17 im a grown ass man and they’re in the business of selling rap music if jay is a rider in his music and is keeping it real like he claims he does and runs the streets like he wants people to think, if ur from the hood which he is from Marcy projects, everybody knows you grow up with a fuckin code not to leave ur friends in fuckin prison especially if u have the power to get them out, he wasnt gonna face any backlash by getting him out, and if beans did some shit where he found himself in that situation again, then i could see Jay sayin look i can do this anymore. See u cant claim your the symbol of the hood and u run New York when ur put against the test in real life and u fail to live up to your legend. And dick head maybe i should of paraphrased the whole comment because what I said was “what 50 is doing” And dont u ever talk or bring my father into any conversation. because u wouldnt say the shit to my face. U fuckin faggot. and stop suckin Jay-Z dick. Its not about the money its about if u have the friends that u have after u get the money. Ask J does he have that. You people on this website dont know shit about loyalty. Now maybe thats something your mother should of taught u. She probably a bigger snake then Jay-Z is

Ur condoning him shitting on Beans cuz he’s from Philly. If i was ur friend and i was from a another state i would watch my back when im around u. cuz u might turn on me cuz im from Pennsylvania. you devil Shame on you
jc Says:
November 5th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Oh yeah e from BK sounds like to me your not from brooklyn well the black part anyway, maybe your from where all the jews live. Maybe your jewish i dont know. But all i know is, I would give u lesson in loyalty so you wouldnt have to struggle with that when it came to your friends and family. Because it sounds like u know nothing about it i feel sorry for ur upbringing ur parents failed on teaching u about family, and it reflects through your statements. your a sheep, a follower. who doesnt have any support from people “who might love u” and im living really well i own a townhouse that cost almost $400,000 dollars smack dab in Downtown Atlanta and im only 26. And i have my family and friends I still have alot of my friends that grew up with me in Pennsylvania,some took the wrong path some took the right path but i never turned my back on them because the code I embraced growing up, wouldnt allow that. U must feel no guilt at all about how u feel. I guess not having loyalty is bliss for u. To bad, i dont know how that feels. P.S. dont be a lonely snake your whole life.

You have just proven what is wrong with people. Here you are defending a man that clearly has not taken his life seriously. He was given a golden opportunity to do big things in this world, but chose otherwise. I hear you if you want to be the type of person that would hold his hand. That’s great, however, I won’t do it. I will not let ANYONE put me in a bad situation. As far as where I’m from, how does that matter? Though I am from BK, I am not bound by BK alone. For you to have to tell everyone what you have shows that you are insecure. A 400k townhouse in downtown Atlanta? So. What does that have to do with the topic at hand? Seriously? Being from BK I have learned not to bring ant street “codes” into my business life. What happened is that I touched a nerve with my truth to you and you felt as though I took your manhood. With that, you feel like you have clothe yourself with your 400k townhouse or your tough talk about what I would not do. It’s cool though. I understand. You were not told.

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEING FROM TWO DIFFERENT CITIES. IN SLANG UR MY MAN BUT ON PAPER, YOU ARE MY EMPLOYEE. IF I STOLE YOUR ROYALTIES YOU WOULD SUE ME. BEANS IS GONNA SUE DAME FOR STEALING AND THA’S HIS MAN. THE CODE SAYS NEVER TO DRY SNITCH OR OUTRITE SNITCH, IF THAT’S THE CODE U SAY JAY SUPPOSE TO FOLLOW.WELL BEANS GETTIN ON RADIO AND YOUTUBE AIRING OUT PERSONAL BUSINESS RITE OR WRONG IS A BITCH MOVE AND IS AGAINST THE CODE. BUT REMEMBER IF THERE IS A CODE ITS BETWEN HOV, TA TA AND BLEEK. BEANS WAS AN EMPLOYEE. AND THAT CODE THAT YOU WANT JAY TO UPHOLD HAS NO PLACE IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. JAY OWNED ROCA FELLA BUT HE GOT HIS BUGET TO PUT OUT BEANS FROM DEF JAM. LA REID DIDNT HAVE FAITH IN BEANS PROJECT SO HE DIDNT GIVE UP MUCH MONEY FOR MARKETING. HE WAS NO LONGER A VALUABLE COMODITY. WHEN YAW BLAME HOV FOR NOT PROMOTING AN ARTIST, U HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT HE HAS TO GET MONEY FROM LA REID AND IF LA DOESNT LIKE THE PROJECT IT WILL EITHER GET SHELVED OR LITTLE MARKETING MONEY. THEN ARTIST WANNA BLAME JAY WHEN IN FACT, ITS HIS BOSS LA REID GIVING OUT BUDGETS AND TELLING HIM TO SHELVE ARTIST. THE MORE ARTIST HOV PUTS OUT, THE POTENTIAL FOR MORE MONEY FOR HIM TO MAKE.

Please women, and i call u women because only a women would talk about something so off base and ramble like u just did.. i mentioned my townhouse, yes i did, but i also mention my friends and family that i keep extremely close to my side and by me getting to the position that i am at now, I wouldnt have completely gotten here if it wasnt for them, so dont get it twisted. U can’t out argue me because your just not smart enough and im going to tell u why. ur statement was “I won’t do it. I will not let ANYONE put me in a bad situation. As far as where I’m from, how does that matter?” Um genious…? IT MATTERS BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO GLORIFY CERTAIN LIFESTYLES HAVE TO LIVE UP TO THEM, Im not talking about u so i dont know why u made that statement about yourself in that context,your not from the streets, u dont claim to be a boss u dont claim to be a gangster so that doesnt apply to you. When ur the leader of a crew like Jay-Z was u have fuckin responsibility you have people who look to you as a leader, and from a street standpoint you have to keep your word,because these people depend on that. thats the responsibility of being a boss, what you clearly no nothing about. And I brought you being from Brooklyn up because your community is big on loyalty, and they dont play that backstabbing leaving your people behind snake shit that JAY-Z tries to pull. If you notice “women” almost all the people he has grown up with who held him down from back in the day have left his side and dont have the nicest thing to say about him and thats not by accident. And “women” your are putting words in my mouth i didnt take his side entirely, I just dont agree with getting on a witness stand in a courtroom lying by sayin that “beans has good character and he’s a good guy” then turning around and saying “but i wouldnt vouch for him” when it comes to him being released, its a total contradiction and u also said “I have learned not to bring ant street “codes” into my business life.” Why do you keep bringing yourself up, “I WAS TALKING ABOUT JAZ-Y”….are u slow or something? And the only reason you touched a nerve was because u spoke of my deceased father and him not being present to help me make better decision…watch you fuckin mouth.. You really need to learn how to argue, im a lawyer so i get paid for it. but im happy that i have the best of both world the hood life and the succesful life that god designed for me. I will always have a one up on people like you, im twice as smart. your foolish because you make statements about a lifestyle you know nothing about. “Its Chess not checkers”
P.S. get your game up not your lame up
P.P.S your not smarter than me “women”

How bout getting on a witness stand in a courtroom lying by sayin that “beans has good character and he’s a good guy” then turning around and saying “but i wouldnt vouch for him” when it comes to him being released, its a total contradiction. If me and you are boys or business partners or depicted ourselves as family “familia” like JAY-Z depicted and you did that shit to me and i had to stay in jail. I would fuck you up bad when i got out, especially if i had to continue to do days in jail because you wouldnt vouch for me. And if it was all about business (all jay had to do was vouch for him so he could get out, re-write a contract by putting a clause in it sayin if “Beans messes up,the contract is breached and your off the tour” or u lose money). I aint mad at him for airing J out! fuck him, he got the cops to escort Beans out the building too at that concert, are u fucking serious, u dudes on this website are some of the most disloyal snake son of bitches i have ever come across. “NO CODE” shame on you
P.S. what the fuck does LA REID have to do with his camel face ass going up on courtstand and sayin that bullshit? and he wouldnt even let the nigga out of his own contract? so he could earn somewhere else

Hey JC, you have exposed yourself thoroughly through ALL of your comments. I’m going to leave you alone. Firstly, I was never arguing with you, just have a disagreement with your ideologies. As far as you being smarter than me; what does that mean? There are different barometers to measure different types of intelligence, but I digress. You have lied a few times in your comments, but I won’t spend the time to call them all out. I’ll just let you have it. I don’t want you to beat me up. You say downtown, but I have a sneaky suspicion that you may live in Midtown over by Piedmont Park. Haaaaaaaaaa!!!
E From BK Says:

U need to stop. lol……… im mad that i continued this argument with u almost two days now. lets just say,ur not backing down and im not either. and Im not gay im far from it and im very good lookin (ex-model). Im a smart guy but im a ryder too. I know my rights, Im just throwing that out there. U actually debated me well, im not saying u beat homie,im just sayin u did okay

@JC IS A NOODLE

HE WASNT THE LEADER OF A CREW DICKHEAD, HE WAS CO OWNER OF A RECORD LABEL, AN EXECUTIVE OF A CORPORATION, AN AN ARTIST. STOP TALKING THAT STREET SHIT. THEY R NOT FROM THE SAME STREETS. THEY DIDNT DO DIRT TOGETHER. THEIR RELATIONSHIP WAS BUILT ON BUSINESS NOT FRIENDSHIP. SEDIQ AND UNCLE E INTRODUCED BEANS TO JAY. BEANS SPIT, HOV TOLD HIM KEEP GOING THEN BEANS SPIT A 1000 BARS AND HOV SIGNED HIM. HOV HIRED HIM UNDER CONTRACT TO RAP AND MAKE RECORDS, NOT TO BE HIS HOMIE OR HIS FRIEND FOREVER. IT WAS A BOSS PROTECTING HIS INTEREST UNDER CONTRACT AND AN EMPLOYEE SIGNING A CONTRACT TO PROTECT HIS INTEREST. IF THEY WERE SO CALLED HOMIES, THERE WUD HAVE BEEN NO CONTRACT NECESSARY. JAY Z HAS TO ANSWER TO WHITE CORPORATE AMERICA AND BEANS IS A LIABILITY. CONTINUING TO DEAL WITH BEANS WOULD TAINT JAY Z’S IMAGE. HOV ALREADY CONVINCED LABEL HEADS THE FIRST 5 TIMES BEANS GOT LOCKED UP THAT HE WAS GOING TO STRAIGHTEN HIM OUT, BUT WHAT DID BEANS DO? HE GOT INTO MORE TROUBLE. UNIVERSAL GAVE DEF JAM/ LA REID MARKET DOLLAS TO PROMOTE THE B COMING AND THE SOLUTION AND JAY APPLIED THEM TO BEANS PROMOTION AND WHAT HAPPENED? BEANS GET LOCKED UP DURING BOTH ALBUM RELEASES AND BOTH ALBUMS FLOP. PEOPLE LOOSE LABELS AND GET FIRED WHEN THEY CO SIGN ARTIST THAT DON’T FOLLOW THRU AND SELL. JAY Z WASNT JUST AN EXECUTIVE, HE WAS THE STAR ARTIST AND THE BRAND. BEANS WAS TAINTING THE BRAND. HIS INTENTION WAS TO BECOME CORPORATE AND TO LEAVE THE STREETS ALONE. AND TO DO THIS, HE FOLLOWED THE CORPORATION MODEL TO SUCCESS. CONTRACTS SIGNED AND BEING UNDER THE UMBRELLA OF UNIVERSAL RECODS IS A START. HE CUDNT RUN ROCA FELLA UNDER SOME STREET CREW IDIOLOGY. U GOT IT FUKED UP. HOV IS A BUSINESSMAN AND AN ARTIST. HE HAS THE PERSONA OF AN ARTIST WHILE ON STAGE AND AN EXCUTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO DEALING WITH HIS ARTIST. THERE IS NO KEEPING YOUR WORD, ITS CALLED SIGNING A CONTRACT. KEEPING HIS WORD WUD MEAN THAT BEANS DIDNT HAVE TO SIGN A CONTRACT BUT HE DID TO PROTECT HIMSELF. WHICH PROVES THAT IT WAS ONLY BUSINESS.

AND SPEAKING OF LOYALTY,
BEANS IS DISLOYAL FOR THESE REASONS AND MORE:
1. BEANS DISSED THE YOUNG GUNS ON RADIO, MIXED CDS, AND ON I CAN FEEL IT IN THE AIR. HE BELIEVED A RUMOR THAT SAID YOUNG CHRIS SNITCHED ON MEMBERS OF MAJOR FIGGAS WHICH CAUSED SOME TO GO TO JAIL. HE DISSED THEM SO BAD THAT NOBODY IN PHILLY WAS TALKING TO YOUNG CHRIS. BUT REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU TESTIFY IT BECOME PART OF PUBLIC RECORD AND IT ONLY COST $20 TO GET THAT RECORD HERE IN PHILLY. THERE WAS NO RECORD OF CHRIS DOING THIS AND THE MEMBERS OF MAJOR FIGGAS EVENTUALLY TOLD THIS TO BEANS, BUT BEANS HAD ALREADY DESTROYED YOUNG CHRIS’ CAREER IN PHILLY. THEY LATER MADE UP BUT BEANS STILL DOES THE SONG AND OFFERED NO PUBLIC APOLOGY.

2. NEXT BEANS DISSES PEEDI CRACK AND O AND SPARKS ON RADIO AND MIXED CD.

3. NEXT BEANS DISSED KANYE WEST ON RECORD, RADIO, FREESTYLE AND IN AN INTERVIEW. HE SAID KANYE AND PHARELL ARE GAY CUZ REAL MEN DON’T DRESS LIKE THAT. LOOK IT UP. http://therapup.uproxx.com/2007/05/i-have-lot-of-respect-for-beans-as.html

4.BEANS IS TOTALLY DISLOYAL TO HIS KIDS AND BABY MOMA FOR NOT PAYING CHILD SUPPORT,

5. GETTING LOCKED UP FOR SHOOTING PEOPLE AND FUKING UP HIS CAREER AND HOV’S CREDIBILITY AS AN EXECUTIVE.

6. SIBLING RIVALRY IF IT’S A FAMILY THAT U THINK IT IS. FOR DISSING A PRODUCER IN HIS FAMILY THAT GIVES HIM BEATS, KANYE WEST.

7. FOR MAKING A SONG WITH R. KELLY WHILE JAY WAS WARING WITH KELLZ.

8. FOR SIDING WITH DAME AFTER THE BREAKUP. BEANS RECORD SAID DDMG. DAME DASH MUSIC GROUP.

9. FOR CONSIDERING TAKING A DEAL WITH JAY Z’S COMPETITION, 50 CENT. IF HE’S FAMILY WHY U WANNA LEAVE UR FAMILY? CUZ IT’S BUSINESS AND HE’S OUT FOR SELF

10. HE’S A LIAR. HE SAID IN AN INTERVIEW THAT YOUNG GUNS, CANT STOP WAS NUMBER 1 IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IN FACT IF YOU CHECK BILLBOARD IT WAS # 14 ON THE HOT 2OO CHART AND #6 ON HOT RAP CHART.

11. HE SAYS JAY DIDNT GIVE HIM A LABEL AND THAT HE PAID FOR IT. I CAN MAKE A LABEL AND CALL IT PHILLY RECORDS. THAT DOESNT MEAN SHIT UNLESS I HAVE BACKING/DISTRIBUTION AND MARKETING DOLLAS WHICH JAY Z WAS PROVIDING. BEANS DIDNT HAVE MONEY TO DO THAT. SO THEY ONLY THING HE OWNED WAS THE NAME OF STATE PROPERTY. THE MONEY BACKING WAS ROCA FELLA.

12. THE TWO BENTLYS – MONEY JAY WAS COMPLAINING THAT DAME WAS STEALING. JAY’S TALENT MADE ROCA FELLA’S MONEY. AND DAME TOOK COMPANY MONEY TO BUY BENTLYS FOR ITS EXECUTIVES, MONEY THAT WAS ALL OF THEIRS BUT MAD BY JAY Z’S TALENT.

NOODLE ASS JC WHAT DID U EXPECT JAY Z TO DO? GO ON STAND SAYING BEANS IS A BAD GUY? YOU DIDNT SEE JAY MAKE A STATEMENT. U ONLY HEARD THE LIES BEANS TOLD. THERE WAS ALREADY A MORALITY CLAUSE IN HIS CONTRACT AND HE BROKE IT WAY B4 THAT DATE. AND DAME AND JAY KEPT GIVING HIM CHANCES

“ROCA WEAR 80 MIL IN LIKE 18 MONTHS U CAN BULLSHIT WITH RAP IF YOU WANT” IN THIS SONG HOV TELLS U, HE IS LEAVING THE STREETS ALONE AND GOING CORPORATE.

“Hove is back, life stories told through rap
Niggaz actin’ like I sold you crack
Like I told you sell drugs…no…
Hove did that so hopefully you won’t have to go through that” HE’S LEAVING BEANS MENTALITY OF RUNNING THE STREET ALONE.

AND HERE JAY Z EXPLAINS THAT BEANS IS GETTING INTO TOO MUCH TROUBLE AND HE’S TRYNA HELP HIM OUT:

“Bleek you’re still with me – nigga what did I say?
The time is comin; you one hit away
Beans I ain’t tryin to change you – just give you some game
to make the transition, from the street to the fame
My momma loves me..”
Jay-Z Blueprint (Momma Loves Me)
BEANS NEVER MADE THAT TRANSITION. HE WANTS TO BE THE BULLY

Wanna ball me at the light, you could lose your life
Muthafucka’s must be smokin’ they La, La, La or crack
.45 gun smoke, choke off that
Let’s get back to the music, I ain’t with all that
Plus the fedz tappin’ my music, yall get all that?
I’m THEE! public industry #1
Public industry #2 is my whole crew (R.O.C.!)
Now I ain’t down with who like me or who like you
That’s gay, I ain’t into liking dudes no way
But get a pen, I can tell you pricks my plans for the future
I’ll never make the news again, my man’ll shoot ya
BEANS OBVIOUSLY WANTED THAT LINE TO BE ABOUT HIM AS HE POINTS TO HIM SELF IN THE VIDEO. BUT LIKE HOV SAID, THE FEDS TAPPING HIS MUSIC, SO WHY WUD HE SAY MY MAN WILL SHOOT N THEN BEANS DUMB ASS SNITCHING ON HIS SELF BY POINTING AT HIS SELF.
SO I GUESS BEAN SHOT CAM? NAW
HELL NO. BEANS IS AN ARTIST. HOV GOT SO MUCH MONEY AND SO MANY OTHER NIGGAS THAT WILL RIDE FOR HIM AND HE HAS SECURITY TRAINED IN COMBAT THAT WUD KNOCK BEANS THE HELL OUT

HOV DIDNT TELL THE FEDS TO ESCORT BEANS OUT. I WAS THERE. BEANS WAS DAM NEAR ON STAGE WHILE HOV WAS PERFORMING AND AFTER THE LIL MAMA SITUATION SECURITY HAD TO STEP UP AND THEY ESCORTED BEANS OUT CUZ HE DIDNT WANNA GET OFF STAGE. FUTHERMORE THE TATE POLICE AR ALWAYS AT RAP CONCERTS HERE. AND JAY DOESNT HAVE TO GET THE FEDS TO ESCORT BEANS, HE HAS HIS SECURITY THAT WUD STOMP A WHOLE IN BEANS OVER WEIGHT ASS. STOP ACTIN LIKE BEANS SOME KINDA TUFF GUY. IT WAS BETTER FOR POLICE TO ESCORT BEANS CUZ IM SURE BEANS WUDA FILED CHARGES SAYING HOV’S SECURITY HIT HIM. N IF HOV HIT HIM, IT WUD BE BAD PRESS AND BAD FOR HIS CORPORATE IMAGE. 50 IS TALKING SHIT , HE DONT WANNA GET SUED. HE AINT HITTING NOBODY.
