Jay Z speaks posted by Myst on 11-20-2003 21:22
Raw Roots affiliate and general Hiphop industry DIY man in Philly, Klap, found himself speaking to Jay Z yesterday (as you do) and got some very revealing information.
It would seem that Jay Z hasn't, as many feared, completely rejected the truecore fans he made with his first album and lost with near everything since, but has in fact kept his ear to the ground.
Among his favourite MCs of the moment are Common and Talib Kweli. He's trying to work with Last Emperor (interview up shortly) and even said he hopes to sign none other than Canibus to Rocafella records!!!
More exclusive news on this story will be coming soon as I get through to my man Klap so keep ya eyes peeled like a half eaten banana

He's trying to work with Last Emperor
if that collabo happens i will die a happy man...now only if we could get nas in on that too........
-
Damn, I didn't see that coming. I hope that goes down.
-
Canibus signing to Roc-A-Fella could help him get his career back on the right track, I would love to see it happen. He's better than 90% of their roster anyway.
-
I think the third paragraph was already mentioned in some news, but were disclaimed a few days later. BTW: I don't think Canibus would ever sign to Roc-A-Fella, because he dislikes most of the Roc-A-Fella artists.
Tell your artist keep my name out their mouth or you won't have no peace
Compared to Canibus your pitbulls is poultry
You and Biggie made a dope team but I roast beans
[...]
It's rap music, you confuse it if you wan't to
I might still diss you just to see what you gone do
[...]
The only difference between me and you is a budgit
Don't make me have to go sign with Suge or something
[...]
Them little monkey faced artist that you sign for pennies 8)

If Canibus keeps his shit the way he does on "Rip The Jacker" and signs to R.O.C shit will be lethal.
-
jay's the reason beanie never responded back...proabably because he seen a future in canibus with roc-a-fella...i hope he signs him, Bis definately deserves the light to shine his way again, peace.

In other Jay Z news, I read today that S Dot is bidding to buy the New Jersey Nets franchise. !!!
espn.com
Music rap performer Jay-Z has retained the New York City investment banking firm of Andrew, Alexander,Wise and Co. to explore the possibility of making a bid to purchase the New Jersey Nets, sources told ESPN.
The YankeeNets holding company, which runs the franchise, put it up for auction in September and is now receiving bids.
A spokesman for Jay-Z declined comment to ESPN.
The Newark Star Ledger reported last week that New York developer Bruce Ratner had emerged as the high bidder for the Nets with an offer of $275 million.

That's not the reason. His actions on C True Hollywood Stories fell on deaf ears.

More on Jay Z and Canibus posted by Myst on 11-22-2003 23:25
Jay z said he feels the HipHop game needs a rapper like Canibus to get a fair chance so they can change the game. Make Hiphop exciting again. Jay feels that if Bis was on a label like ROC he'd be at the very least a solid Gold artist . If not 1 million or more!
"Canibus deserves a fair shot like I got, like I gave Bleek, Beans, Freeway and the rest"
Following the rumours that Jay told Beans not to respond to the diss track Who Owns You in which Canibus takes shots at Beanie it would seem that Jay has serious interest in signing Canibus. You heard it here first! Keep checking back for more exclusives on this surprising story.

^^ If this is right than Jay could've thought about Canibus' track "I Gotta Story 2 Tell" more than everybody thought:
I been through alotta things in my life but I learned from it
Put yourself in my shoes, don't I deserve something?
The only difference between me and you is a budgit
Don't make me have to go sign with Suge or something.
But I don't know if "come to us and you'll sell a million" is the right way to holla at Canibus, because he's not that type of artist who does this shit only to earn much money. But he would definitely deserve platinum at minimum 8)
