Freeway was on Angela Yee’s Sirius show and threw his 2¢ in about Jay & Beans. What do we learn?
1. That Free’s wisely not going to take either side.
2. He’s doing what Beans should be doing and taking hold of his own career.
3. Stimulus Package is coming February 16th.
But seriously Free, this wasn’t needed. Hopefully this won’t wake Beans from his slumber, compelling him to record another track. If he does, it’s all your fault Leslie.
Meanwhile, Jay will continue to act like this isn’t happening. Which we probably all should do from this point forward.

1. That Free’s wisely not going to take either side.
====================================================
Why is this wise? So he can wait on Jay to call him when it’s convenient?
At least Beans is telling the truth instead of toeing the line for a dude who could give a fuck less. Jay ruined Free’s G-Unit deal too and this is a direct quote from Shade45 this morning…
“I’ma keep it real wit you…I don’t got his number or nothin, but if I e-mail Jay he usually get right back to me” Freeway
Fuck loyalty Leslie, go in!
I can’t understand why everyone wants this shit to just go away. The allegations Beanie makes are some real damaging things. No one feels the slightest way about Jay-Z?
I don’t get it.
*reads Amps first post*
*casually looks up to see the avie*
*skoffs, “that’s ill” CT says quietly to himself*
*skips to second post*
*NJ Nets season start*
yeah freezer is a wise man…he’s hustling his ass off,dropping quality tracks & mixtapes on the regular and building a nice buzz for his upcoming album with jake one…and i’ll support it without a doubt
in the meanwhile beans is crying like a desperate bitch cause hov doesn’t want to throw any money at him anymore…and doesn’t even realize that curtis is just using him to generate a little buzz for his underperforming album
“I don’t get it”
Obviously.
People want this to go away because it makes someone most people around here like (Beans) look like a fool. You think what he is doing is helping his career in the slightest bit? Even if every allegation he is making is true, he just looks bitter and desperate. C’mon man, you can’t be in his position and go at someone that popular and respected without looking like you are throwing rocks at the throne. You don’t get that?
Freeway is making the wise move because he is K.I.M. instead of waiting around for another’s handout (deserved or not). Beanie on the other hand is stuck on stupid with a battery in his back courtesy of 50. How is that a good look?
Put aside your Jay hate for a minute and think about it. Freeway has nothing to gain and a lot to lose by going at Jay. I’m curious what type of scenario YOU expect to unfold if Freeway went at Jay or if Beanie continues down his current path?
Looking forward to that Free/Jake One collabo btw.

===========================================================
I don’t believe for a second there’s a Jiggagate case file with some sort of evidence to have us turn against the man. And this would go away OOOH SO FAST if Jay hit up Sig like RIGHT NOW and said “Lets do a reunion show in Philly” without bringing anything else up.
This bum Sig would lay out his Sunday’s best and be @ the arena 4 hours early, cheesing and shit. Unwarranted disses are a sign of desperation and that’s what we have in Bang Bang Sigel Street. Notta good look for a vet.
C’mon man, you can’t be in his position and go at someone that popular and respected without looking like you are throwing rocks at the throne. You don’t get that?
============================================
Fuck that popular shit. If the shit Beans is saying is true, that respect goes out the winmdow.
And what does Freeway have to lose by validating what Beans is saying? Nothing. Jay don’t even fuck with him like that. Why hang around waiting for a verse from Jay when he’s not going to do the video or perform it at shows (ie. Roc-A-Fella Millionaires)
When has Beans made it about money or a handout? Y’all like to spin it like that’s what this is about but it’s not. This is about Jay being a shady dude to cats who were supposed to be his “crew”.

============================================================
I don’t think the shit is necessarily unwarranted. It’s just most of the cats Jay burns are so eager to remain in his good favor that they never say shit.
Rap is a business. why cats cry “loyalty” & “family” is beyond me.
No Limit has blood ties. Wu spent their formative years together. EPMD. Pete & CL. Gang Starr. Name a crew, then look @ their expiration date.
Name a crew, then look @ their expiration date
===================================================
While this is true, what about all of the allegations Beanie has made that cats are just ignoring. What about calling the boys on Beanie at the Powerhouse concert? Y’all have seen the videos and heard the interviews. I can’t see why cats act like Beans should just shut up and not say anything when Jay is allowed to talk slick and never get checked for it. That dude is not above getting called out.
I’ve been taught to confront someone face to face or keep it moving if I feel disrespected. Not talk greasy about it publically at a later date. But all that is irrelevant really because that’s personal shit and this is these dude’s CAREERS.
Too many people forget that (including rappers sometimes: read T.I.). Do you really think coming at someone in Jay’s position doesn’t have repercussions? But most importantly what is the benefit of doing so? To make someone who already has a grudge against Jay shake their fist in victory lol? Who else is checking for Beanie disses right now?
Seriously tho, I’m really curious to know how you see this playing out for Beans and/or Freeway if he took your advice.

====================================================
The Jay-Z/Beanie Sigel relationship is damaged beyond repair at this point. Fuck it. Go hard. Clown the Camel until he makes an offensive move. If he never responds, he loses respect. You can’t claim to be a king of anything if you’re not willing to get down for your crown. No one told Game to stop when he went at 50 and if Beanie was going at 50, no one would be crying foul. If Jay is guilty of the shit he’s being accused of, he deserves to get called out on it. All that calling the cops shit is straight crab status.
And the outcome? Hopefully, the “beef” gives Beans enough light to release a great album and not have it virtually ignored like The B. Coming.
If it was Lyor, Russell, Clive, etc, you’d say it was what?
Power.
Jay has power. & leverage.
Beans don’t lol.
Sometimes, when someone has power over you, you “think” they’re pulling strings they aren’t. But you gotta blame somebody for your problems, right?
I think y’all need to go back & listen to those interviews.
^^^
I was done after the Charlamagne one. Let it go Beans. It’s over. I’m starting to think Dwight might have jacked Amp’s profile for this post lol
Lol, I’m cool.
I figured it went something like that. And it might look like that with different actors. But not against Jay and certainly not with Beans.
Like him or not (I obviously do, you obviously don’t) you can’t deny Jay has a layer a teflon on him at all times. Nothing Beans is saying is going to stick to him. I would love for Beans to put out a great album that people check for but its not going to happen and there is no one to blame for that but Beanie Sigel. The Solution could have been that album. Fresh out of prison, fresh co-sign from Jay thanks to Ignorant Shit, all Beans had to do was go hard for a full album. But he flubbed it. Now he just seems bitter. He needs to focus on salvaging his career, not firing shots at others.
And G-Unit is not going to help him in any way. Ask Mobb Deep and those Brownsville boys.
Freeway is smart: STAY THE FUCK OUT!!! Keep making those supa-dope tapes (the last one he did with Benja Styles is my shit!) and focus on putting out that album next year or even earlier. Sidenote: As much I think that BP3 was mediocre and execrable, that Jay-z would shut the fuck up and disappear, and that the majority of his fans are dickriders, he has too much clout and support to fall or be knocked off his pedestal right now. Beefing with Jigga is futile, fuggedaboutit!!!
Let me be the bridge between Amp vs TC, JB, and Gotty.
This is the music business. And just like any other form, business is business. Jay does not owe Beans; a check , push , spotlight or anything that is not contractually binding. But unlike Lyor, Rus, and Clive you come to expect unbusiness-like characteristics because….well Jay made those illusions. Beans has a point. If you present yourself as someway then you should follow up on it. If not, move out of the way. This is where Jay is moving in unbusiness-like characteristics, if he wasn’t gonna let Beans do music then he should’ve let him go to the Unit. You think Russell or Lyor wouldn’t do that? THATS BUSINESS. (if what beans saying is accurate).But Jay made an emotional decision to keep Beans, b/c it would have been hard to stomach Fif with Beans. These are not business moves, these are petty moves and these types of characteristic are the ones that gives AMP a point-The crossover between business and personal.
Now this is where TC JB and G-dugga have their point. “Now what Beans?” You can’t stand there and fester in the frustration. Why Not? Well b/c its not in Beans best interest. Beans has to use this spot light that he has RIGHT NOW and put quality music in it because the pressure is on you Beans, Not Jay. You have to take this opportunity and leverage it for your benefit, just like Jay did you. And these disses are like the 3 lives you have on Mario’s World, youre wasting them on nothing and game is almost over
I’ve been taught to confront someone face to face or keep it moving if I feel disrespected
========================================================================
realest comment I’ve read on here…if Beans feels disrespected…have the man confront Jay first…or keep it moving with your own damn career.
PSA however real it may sound….do you really think Jay is giving niggas that option. He beefed up his security last year when he dropped beans from the roc. Niggas can got bout as much a chance of having a ‘face to face’ as you and I do.

I walked right past Jay @ his hotel. There was no security. Just saying.
with out the sample this song means nothing. thats the only reason i listened to make sure it was there

And no 15minute smoke break??
Enh, you’ll have to read the post to understand what happened lol.
amp in my absense you have held down the fuck jigga movment well and i commend you.
JB your dickriding ability is impressive i expect to see you on spankwire soon enough.
but on the real seigels approach was mad hasty and he did fall for fif bate…fif dont give a shit about any of them dudes, he knows he will never eat off a beans album and if he did sign beans and beans didnt feel like the situation suited him whos to say beans wouldnt be coming at fif next with dick ross co signing him next? fif is too smart for these dudes sometimes.
i fucks with and always will fucks with jays pre black album catalogue but lets be real hes a shady as motherfucker…skilled on the mic and no one can take that away from him but still a POS as a person.
i hate to say it, but Jay was looking out for number 1. I don’t care if he wiped his ass with Beans contract. Just try to make your own career, why you worried about the other man.

====================================================================
I can attest to this. When I saw him, he was virtually by himself. But Beans doesn’t want a physical confrontation and what good is talking to dude if he’s gonna dance the whole conversation.
but on the real Sigel’s approach was mad hasty and he did fall for fif bate…fif dont give a shit about any of them dudes, he knows he will never eat off a beans album and if he did sign beans and beans didnt feel like the situation suited him whos to say beans wouldnt be coming at fif next with dick ross co signing him next? fif is too smart for these dudes sometimes.
======================================================
I agree that Beans should’ve had his shit together before jumping out there but he woulda signed to Fif a while back (along with Freeway) if Jay didn’t nix the deal. I think Fif used Beans but in Beans mind, it doesn’t matter. He needed to do something to get Jay’s attention.
I’m not a fan of this situation (even though I do enjoy the fact that Beans is finally validating what I’ve been thinking about Jay for a while now) or how Beans is going about it, but on that same note, if Jay was a mentor and a friend like he claimed to be, it shoulda never got to this point. Sig shoulda been in pocket. But like Hov said…
I’m in the hall already, on the wall already
I’m a work of art, I’m a Warhol already
On another level, on another plane already
H-O-V I got my own lane already (already)
I done cooked up the rock already
So why the fuck can’t ya’ll get hot already (already)
Put your name in the pot already, niggas compare me to Biggie and Pac already
Like I’m gone already and I am nigga I’m already home already
If ya’ll can’t already see I ain’t worried about ya’ll ‘cos I’m already me
@ Petey
Don’t catch feelings because I was having a discussion with your butt buddy and you weren’t around (*sigh* no shots Amp. I respect your opinion on non Jay-Z related shit).
Show me where I was dickriding in this post or shut your lame ass up.
God I hate talking shit over the internet but what the fuck? Slipping into a discussion that is more or less over to throw a (nonsensical) shot at me? Suck a dick.
Ehh I’m done.
its the internet holmes thems jokes, you need to loosen up…
but since you wanna take it there in every jay related post you can always count on for every anti jigga post there will be one from you stroking his “ego” and trying to logic why jay dosent need to defend himself and has earned his self appointed status etc…dont play dumb, u know wtf Im talkin bout.
now go work on your blueprint3 interpretive dance routines and quit catching feelings over bullshit.
Yup. No example of dickriding. Just “you’re all over jay posts stroking his ego”. No, I don’t know wtf you’re talking about. I know you hate like you get paid for it and I’ve called you out a couple times. So you decided to say some stupid shit to me and pass it off as all internet jokes.
Whatever. I’m done with the childish bullshit. Sorry about the expletives (or does anyone care here care? I always feel like some little kid is gonna come on this site and go blind if I cuss too much in a comment).
ur a dickriding herb.
Mayne, I love this site! #NoSarcasm
