    i prob say what jay did to the roc ... or better yet what the roc did to itself ... cant blame it all on jay altho he played a HUGE part ... but that one has to be it mane ... the roc just solidify that the chances of any group of individuals having any longevity in this game is slim to none .... side note im closely watching MMG to see how long they can stand tall together .........

    Suge forcing Dr Dre to leave Death Row and disclaiming ownership for a few royalties was brilliant and brutal.

    50-Cent is the biggest snake due to his attempts at sabotaging and black-balling Styles P's album release.

    Also 50-cent secretly recorded a private phone-conversation with Young Buck and released it to the Internet in an attempt to sabotage his career.

    50-Cent mishandled Lloyd Banks career out of envy and crippled his career from being as big as it should have been.

    50-Cent shelved M.O.P's projects while they were on G-Unit and ruined the legacy of MoBB Deep by signing them.

    50-cent is easily the biggest snake.

    Im going for 50 again, over the destruction of Ja Rule.

    I was a fan of Ja Rule's music and the way he destroyed Ja made me lose faith in the hiphop consumer and audience.

    people started listening with their eyes and not their ears, not a good thing.

    I laugh at G-Unit fans that are still blind to the fact that 50 purposely let "beamer benz and bentley" fizzle all the way out before HFM2 ....

    I dont care how much money you gor or how big you are you just dont do things like that. I was shocked at how he could just do this without even thinkin bout how this will affect Buck as a human. I mean if you wanna ? with dude then teach him a lesson, but to do this and still dont let him off the label is just on some devil/evil ? . That why I dont buy G-unit product no more/watch his movies or anything like that. Karma is a ? and I hope dude crumble to the point where hes vanilla Ice status. The nerve of this fool tryin to act Ghandi and feed a billion people when he dont even wanna feed his former friends and associates. ? G-Unit.

    Biggest snake move was Suge and David Kenner stealing Death Row from Harry O.

    Biggest play was Master P's deal with Priority.

    Edit: Biggest play might have been the deal RZA & Power signed with Loud that allowed them to release solos with other record companies.

    JayZ has a forked tounge and he sheds his skin....he's a cold-blooded reptile.

    JayZ turned on his mentor Jaz-O, the man who gave him his style, his name and his first big break.

    JayZ swindled Dame Dash and Biggs Burke at the behest of white-Jews who felt threatened by Dames Blackness and Masculinitu.

    JayZ ruined the careers of MoBB Deep by fabricating a story about Prodigy being a ballerina and him seeing pictures of this falsehood.

    JayZ left Beanie Sigels career in shambles along with the rest of State Property

    JayZ abused an underage Foxy Brown in studio sessions and psychologically damaged her for life.

    JayZ abandoned Amill and now she works in target

    JayZ tried to bamboozle Sauce Money and now Sauce has an eating disorder

    JayZ would rather sign Souther artists or Philly artists instead of spotters from NY...he blackballed his own city like he was KONYA

    JayZ sabotaged LL's Def Jam presidency bid

    Jayz sabotaged DMX Def Jam project

    JayZ tried to impregnate Nas baby-mother to distract Nas from music

    JayZ even flirted with Aaliyah when her and Dame Dash were together in an attempt o anger Dame so he would have an excuse to steal the Roc businesses.


    ...lastly JayZ stole Kanye West from Dame Dash.

    Only two people that should even be considered are Jay Z and Diddy because when it comes to shiesty moves, those two are as Grimey as it gets with Suge knight I think being a distant 3rd. Your career is ? with him and you might have feds watching your moves due to drug cartel stuff and might have to take some ass whooping in the studio and forget about them putting your ? out....but atleast you know that goin into it. He don't necessarily snake you so much as it's your own fault for signing when you know how he gets down and do business. I wanna say Jay and Diddy a first place tie but I think the difference and what moves Diddy over the top is except for Biggie he' ll ? over ANYONE!! Name more than one artist that had signed to badboy that ended up happy and staying there that didn't end up either going to another label, or didn't become a tax write off. Jay ? over the majority of artist he been around and is a anaconda himself but Atleast I get the feeling he won't do that to Rihanna. I cant think of or find a person guy or girl that Puff won't ? over

    I dont know about Diddy all his artist where succesful on badboy and when they left they never got that same spotlight and sales again, now music is a harder hustle he is not doing that well but ..... all his artist where getting money (mase got a beemer before he even signed a deal), he let the lox out of their contracts, same with 112, he just got a bad rep because people really really dont like that ? especially since he was mr.shiney suit man.

    Mase till this day can sit next to diddy, same with Jada, total, and voletta wallace .... when lil kim fired puff as manager she regreted and went crawling back. Puff is about paper and grown man behaviour, some of these rappers using crayola for business.

    Jay easily a bigger snake, only tah tah and memphis bleek got a good word to say.

    SMH @ How "Big Hovy's Roc Nation Day Care" Is Failing Our Babies

    Here's excerpts From an interview she had with Vibe Magazine on 8-18-11

    Amil:"I'm happy for the time that I had, but [the entertainment industry] is not for me. I enjoy recording, thats always a passion, but as far as going hard with a recording career... at this point no. I'm an old head. My whole life is so different now. But I'm in a beautiful place and really just enjoying myself."

    "I haven't spoken to Jay in years but I really wish I could talk to him because that would just really bring closure to me. But he knows I love him," she says. "People think there was bad blood between us, but there never was any bad blood. Things happen and I wasn't ready for where my career was going at that time. It was really overwhelming."

    here's an interview Sauce Money had with HIPHOPDX On March 1,2011

    Sauce Money:“Jay is my brother; he’s always gonna be my brother,” Sauce Money told DJ Eclipse and Torae during their “Rap Is Outta Control” show on Sirius satellite radio. “Just like any relationship that’s real, you’re going to take the good with the bad. But it’s not for me to air it out in public. You’re not going to tell me what you and your brother are going through, because you don’t know me like that…but it’s always love, and it’s always respect.”
