Omillio Sparks Blames Jay-Z For Album Setbacks

Thursday, March 22, 2007
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Omillio SparksPhiladelphia rapper Omillio Sparks, formerly of the Roc-A-Fella group Oschino & Sparks, is claiming Jay-Z is delaying the release of his solo debut, “Payback.”

Sparks, who is known for performing the chorus on Jay-Z’s 2000 song “I Just Wanna Love U,” claims that Jay-Z is “throw[ing] up more road blocks,” according to a recent press release.

“Jay has left me no choice but to tell the truth about what’s going on,” says Sparks. “I hear him boast about going to Africa and helping people out in crisis over there, and he has no idea what he’s doing to artists’ careers and their livelihoods here in fucking America.”

“He’s deliberately doing things that make the streets question his credibility and his worthiness. I hate to say it, but the boy has become the king of false hope. He has ni**as on his label now [Def Jam Recordings], running around being soldiers for him. Look at that ni**a Tru Life, he’s making diss records and defending Hov’s honor as a true friend would do, Hov won’t do the same for that man though … he’ll see.”

Sparks has since left the Roc and started his own label, Colossal Entertainment, and his upcoming album will feature appearances by Philadelphia affiliates Peedi Peedi and Freeway, who are still signed to Def Jam.

It is uncertain what ties Sparks still has to Def Jam, although he cites Jay’s move to the Warner Musc Group building as a setback to several artists on the label.

“Payback” is slated for release in May.

I'm not sure what kind of buzz sparks has, but if he's going to flop jay doesn't need to add insult to injury. Also, dudes like jay must be the king all the time. Read one of his old xxl interviews. He says if someone is outshining him he finds a way to separate himself from that person or gets rid of them. Clearly, sparks must threaten jay (more probably bleek) in some way. Rappers are like any corporate product, you only have coke and pepsi, sprite and seven up. The game doesn't need too many goons. We got enough already. Do some writing bruh. Forget that album sh*t. It ain't making any money for the artist no way.

sparks ! who is he ? i mean yea you`ve seen him in state property and a hook on jay`s i just wanna love but i know for a fact he`s cd is gonna be garbage anyway . It ain`t even that serious and i also for got to add he mentioned when j went to africa to help schools and villages be able to drink and wash up with clean water . But if you think about it, those people got it a hell of a lot worse then he does i mean n*ggas out there are living of a dollar a day and i`m sure this n*gga isn`t . So why even mention that .

As the president of def jam or any profitable label, you have to make good business moves. Releasing omilio's sh*t would probably be bad because he aint gonna sell. Nobody is just gonna release crap just to be releasing crap. Jay is doin' his thing! i would push that sh*t way back until i was cionfident that his stuff was gonna sell and he had some substance. If this cat works with some good producers and steps up his game seriously, then i would consider releasing it.

no rapper from philly can sell a album now anyway because lil wayne will end their careers.
Posted by jarett
If a n*gga can't sell records, i say F*ck yo album, it's not good enough for the majority to like so its not good so why should i spend any bread on you and you can't recoup? F*ck sparks, the n*gga and oschino cannot spit as good as the rest of state prop, he's not even on def jam no more so how is jay_z stopping him, he's independent now, he just can't get a distribution deal better than def jam, that's the real problem, the n*gga sucks.

Yo hovito, what about memphis bleek!!! he is garbage, his last album was destined to flop but def jam still released that weak sh*t. Memph bleek ruins any argument for shelfing a weak artist

I feel omillo, but at the same he got to understand he is dirt weed. Jayz releasing his album is like trying to sell dirt weed in jamaica, ya dig? it a bad business move to even waste trees to make the album cover.

Yo... This was a half a$$ article kind of.. The truth is the song on sparks album that is getting push rite now has to be cleared by jay.. Jay is not responding to sparks camp to get the clearence.. I had an old interview from power99 a couple years back and q-deezy did that interview drill and when he said sparks jay responded "next platinum... He is banannas"... Everybody love da bul sparks aka froggy...lol.. Jay mad cause sparks didnt stay with the roc and def jam.... Hove blackballin him... Jay been a coward on the business side... He make good music with the help of the prop, but other than that i could care less for him.

Posted by westphillysade
This is just a move that an executive has to make sometimes. I only say that because out of highschool my boy got a deal with sony and they shelved his sh*t because hip hop went from lyrics to that shiny suit puffy sh*t and he said he wasn't gonna do it.
Posted by RHB2007
Jay-z is and always has been a joke to the rap game. This n*gga aint half of what he says he is and him being the ceo of hip-hop??? bull fukking sh*t!!! jay it's time to retire again!!! jokejokejokejokejokejokejokejokejokejoke
Posted by LostCause
Forget all you busted up east coast rapper. The south is here and we aint going peacefully. Sparks you need to do for yourself and stop wasting time on that bullchit. Be a man and let your nuts hang. No love for busters! b.m.t. (big money texas)

What i can't understand is these rappers act like jay-z owes them something that n*gga don't owe that n*gga sparks nothing so what he gave jay a hook i'm sure in return he got his due. As man you shouldn't depend on nobody where's your hustle at ain't nothing for free
Posted by the show
Whatta clown..i dont like jay-z or omillio whoever he is...but all i know is that hes using this jay-z dis to promote
Posted by GOLDYNN CHIILD
Ok all yall hatin' on jay 'cause he pushed lil homie album back but if he didn't n his $hit didn't sell dude would be on that ll cool j $hit talking 'bout he didn't promote it right. He done gave dude too many times to shine it ain't his fault buddy ain't got spark. Ok put it this way, say i gave u a week to sell a 1/2 ounce n can't get that off why would i give u wore weight. N it don't matter who he with til he learn how to spit some real $hit his $hit still ain't gonna drop
Posted by GOTOWN CHICK
I wouldn't be in such a rush for hov to put my album out. Cuz he doesn't promote his artists and they go wood then go to a new label. Ie: method man redman hell... The whole roster evept luda!
Posted by 44Magnum
Is this muthafukka comparing his situation to that of the people who are starving in africa!!?? talking bout "jays overseas helping africa when he should be here helping me". Selfish ashy bastard. So what if his album gets pushed back - (no1s waiting on it) theres noway this sparks n*ggaz starving, he mite need to actually start working like normal people do - but he aint starving like the people in africa jays busy helping. Selfish punk muthafukka

J has to do whats best for him when you fall back u see whos relly your people get your own label do what he did dont blame him cause you falling off sh*t happens

I don't know about all of this.. Jay seems to be staying more true to himself and fame and fortune than the hood and what he used to claim was real. He said it himself on "hollywood"! i like omillio sparks, actually, flow is tight..but jay probably aint puttin effort into him and his production and that's f*cked up considering this is a guy from his previously owned label! he put him on and now that he's moved to def jam, i'm sure he is choosing to market others & invest in those whom will give him the most limelight and publicity..like i said..i think he's choosing fame and fortune over being true.. And that's what you get when you become "big time" lol i'm just hatin cuz i'm broke!
Posted by Jenna
Oh and one more thing.....i think another reason why he's not being true is because sh*t his lyrics aint addin up with his actions..like in the song "do you wanna ride" he has a line that goes somethin like this.."i put my n*ggas on, my n*ggas put they n*ggas on, now we all somewhere foreign, chillin, sippin some" and that's obviously not the case! lol jay is choosing to put lady soverign and rhianna on.....them aint his "n*ggas"!
Posted by Jenna
But then again im not too clear on how state property formulated......so maybe it wasn't jay's move maybe it was more beanie's but either was it goes i can sympathize with sparks on this one
Posted by Jenna
Hmm..i guess it was jay in fact...state property was never a group formulated as a group consensus..they came together under jay's consensus to build up beanie..
Posted by Jenna
he's just a wack rapper! thats what philly breeds..
Posted by jarett
Sparks get it how u get it. Don't wait on no man to get you where u wanna be.

Say niggia ya better do like tha boys from the dirty south do it get you're own damm grind on F*ck that Bia'ch ass niggia hov,shiny suit tip sucking puffy.y'all east coast n*ggas stay true to those niggias and get geed in the ass all the time. And by the way hov is not the prez of def jam he runs one of the enitys of the company la reid is president and ceo of the company before joe camel went on tour he had to ask la reid could he go on tour .
Posted by justin
I guess now jay asked for a significant raise from def jam and la reid said theyll do anything to keep him at the company, they need him, and money is the least of their concerns! balllinnnn! lol
Posted by Jenna
Personally i don't give a serious F*ck about what happens on the east coast, and the west . The only reason why dej am giong to pay the money .because they now jay may take some of the artist with him they just signed whoare primarily from the south
Posted by justin
Why would young hov put a album out that he knws its gonna flop, thats bad biz ya dig
Posted by ITS ME SNITCHES
Fvck the roc, fvck tru dyke fo' sho'! he's garbage! staight trash!

On the real jay blessed the n*gga by letting him do the hook. He should been putting out mixtapes at the time when that sh*t was hot anyway and build his name. Stop complaining. You lucky jay let you get any shine this n*gga popped up outta no more and i see why. He relies on people too much.
Posted by Shizz Dolla
As soon as a n*gga see he not the first option when he get put on as soon as you see that after you get that deal you are not the first priority know that sh*t and act as such. Stop crying look at all the cats that made it without jay z use any lil thing as a step dawg. He gave you opportunity and what you do with it. F*ck it up and cry.
Posted by Shizz Dolla
Did jay-z beg jaz-o put me out. Nah dawg jay got his own sh*t rocafella records and made his way.after jaz-o let him get shine he did on his own and he still to this day pay homeage to jaz-o. You trying ta diss jay-z he blessed you with that hook n*gga.stop Bia'ching
