Gem Archer of OASIS had this to say to Jigga throwing jabs at Glatsonbury & on, “Jockin Jay-z.”
“It’s like eight-year-old girls in a schoolyard, running off and writing ditties like that. Grow up!
“But rappers love a ruck. It’s what they do. They set out to have a fight and it’s there in their lyrics. They love biffo.”

Thought this was already dead and I’m assuming biffo=beef.
I was there at the beginning, but I was already getting older. … What I’ve appreciated, watching this hip-hop generation, is to see how entrepreneurial they’ve been. In the past, musicians oftentimes were commodities. They were just shuffled around. Obviously, they did well, but they didn’t have the vision to say, ‘I’m going to build a business. I’m going to build my own studio. I’m going to create my own production operations.’ I think they’re a lot more sophisticated than in the past, and that is a wonderful thing.”
“What I’m starting to see is them stretching out more and thinking about social responsibility and how they can impact the culture in a positive way,” he said. “And I hope that continues.”

“I’m a big fan of Jay-Z, but outside of the States and hip-hop circles, no one really knew who he was until he married Beyonce.”
The In Da Club rapper has also disputed reports that Jay-Z is worth an estimated $1 billion (GBP540 million), but is adamant he’s not jealous of his fortune.
He adds, “I don’t believe he’s worth that much! It’s all been exaggerated. I’m comfortable. I don’t want for anything so I’m not in a race.”Source: ContactMusic
Jay-Z was internationally known before Beyonce?
Jay-Z was interviewed for TimeOut magazine(STR8OuttaNYC Got Scans):
Jay-Z: I am introspective, and, well, there’s that 10 percent that just can’t be taught, but a lot of how I think about myself comes from how I grew up and how I can articulate my experiences without making it too much like, “Everything is great!” or “I’m Superguy!” A vulnerability in the music and a toughness of “I will not lose”—that combination resonates with people.

More info on Jay-Z’s StarRoc label that I previously posted about.
“Stargate were like a secret weapon. We had great success with Rihanna and Ne-Yo. In only 2 years, they’ve generated 10 singles in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and 3 of those singles hit the # 1 position. This has been a rewarding partnership and it was time to take the creative venture to the next level,”
-Jay-Z
