But you have to understand that jay has rhymnes about raping Def Jam the same way they humped on cats when they was just al lil label. So I respect that because jay told you how he is coming…. He’s pillaging. But everything LL is hollering abot is true story, he did have a part in building Def jam, and because of that he should be afforded the proper due. It’s a case of different agendas, but in this case Jay is a homo, sorry Larry Johnson no disrespect intended.

Todd Smith was garbage & LL totally sold out his male fans (No Homo) LL is slowly losing my respect, it seems that he is jealous that he wasn’t offered the president position over Jay-Z, the fact of the matter is LL’s last CD was crap! A bunch of radio friendly r&b wannabe cuts with a feature on every one! And now people are supposed to take him serious cause he’s aligned himself with 50?! True enough I can see where he may be upset of course American Gangster is gonna get that heavy promotion so stop cryin’ & deal with it.

Furthermore on “Queens” we know who he’s talking about why do MC’s feel they have to run to G-Unit to get respect in the hood?

The fact of the matter is posters, stickers & street teams don’t sell records, true talent does Cool j’s last CD had 2 videos out before the CD came out don’t blame Hov cause the people didn’t respond.

All I’m really trying to say is that some artists aren’t selling because they’re trying to stay relevant in a industry where the next dance craze (Soulja Boy) is what seems to reach the kids, the attention span of the average consumer is so short they’ll be on the next fad before the spring!

And on a side note I don’t know what all the fuss is about over Joe Buddens? I mean I know he’s the shit in NY but I’m from Detroit and he’s not mentioned as being a great MC but maybe a new deal and CD can change my mind!
