    “I listened to The Black Album for the first time like three days ago,” Yachty explained. “And then I listened to Reasonable Doubt. Aaaand – I think that the Reasonable Doubt album was better in my opinion. He’s an insane lyricist. I’m not a big fan of like, De La production – that type, that sound.”

    He added, “But I think he’s sick. I think the shit he talks about is like shit most people never actually get to experience in life.”

    Ghostface Killa discusses Jay-Z bringing up $500 debt Wu-Tang Clan owed him

    Wu-Tang & Hov had a gig together but the latter wasn’t paid

    Jay-Z is a skilled rapper but first and foremost, he’s a bussinessman, so every penny anyone owes him matters. During a recent sit-down on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, Ghostface Killa remembered when Hov asked for $500 that Wu-Tang Clan owed him.

    “One time, RZA and [GZA] were telling me that Hov was on the list with us to do a show or whatever,” he began. “We gave him some time … Long story short, n-ggas ain’t pay him the money.

    “You know how Hov is. He wait. A few years down the line, and bring it up to one of the n-ggas. Like, ‘Yeah, remember that time you ain’t really pay me?’”

  • Cam’ron discusses difference between Jay-Z & Nas’ relationship with Hip-Hop

    Cam’ron discusses difference between Jay-Z & Nas’ relationship with Hip-Hop

    Cam believes Hov & Nas love rap in different ways

    Cam’ron shares his thought on how Jay-Z and Nas view Hip-Hop. Earlier this month, Hov performed at Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall Of Fame induction where the audience appeared to show little interest.

    Antonio Brown later took to Twitter to blast the Brooklyn billionaire for not performing “at any Hip Hop 50 concerts last year where the fans would’ve known every word to his songs, but he makes time to get ignored by rich folks…”

    According to Cam, this is because Hov “likes” Hip-Hop and the profits that it brings unlike Nas who is actually in love with the craft.

    “I believe that JAY-Z, to me – my personal opinion – is not in love with Hip Hop,” the Dipset rapper began during their It Is What It Is podcast with Mase. “I think he likes Hip Hop a lot, [but] I think he likes money more and opportunities to take his brand to the next level and some of the stuff that may have been going on with Hip Hop 50 may not have been up his alley.”

    Dash & Hov still locked in bussiness struggle

    Dame Dash and Jay-Z have been caught up in a dispute over the ownership of Roc-A-Fella Inc. for years and the former explains how he feels about the situation.

    “A lot of people that have been maybe mistreated by him are scared to speak up on what he did; I’m just not,” Dash said during an interview on Ugly Money podcast earlier this month.

    “If I hit a n-gga with a pack — I hit him with some work — and he runs off on me … until I get my money back, I don’t care if it’s 20 years later, I’m never going to have too many complimentary things to say about that situation,” he added. “Yeah, we was cool, but he ran off with 10 birds [kilos of cocaine], so what do you expect?

    “And a lot of people that say those things, they’ve never been in a position of being a person that cuts checks, works this hard and have had people at that level take them to court.”
