Roc-A-Fella Rumors Denied, Jay-Z Preps New LP?

Thursday, January 31, 2008
By: Kenny Rodriguez


Jay-ZContrary to reports, Def Jam has not dropped its Roc-A-Fella roster, according to a label insider. Meanwhile, another rumor has begun flooding the Internet – Jay-Z may be working on an upcoming album, “Blueprint 3.”

Rumors of the label’s demise began to circulate after Peedi Peedi, himself a Roc-A-Fella artist, stated in a recent interview that the entire imprint had been dropped – which includes Kanye West, Beanie Sigel, Freeway, Tru Life, and Young Gunz.

“Beans and Freeway didn’t get dropped,” said Mark Byers, manager for Beanie Sigel.

"I just got off the phone with L.A. Reid talking about the next video for ‘Rain’ featuring Raheem DeVaughn that we’re about to release. We’re re-launching Beanie’s project and releasing a ‘Rain’ remix with State Property.”

The rumor also comes shortly after Jay-Z announced in December he is not renewing his contract as Def Jam’s president – followed by the resignations of Jay Brown, A&R SVP, and Tyran “Ty Ty” Smith, A&R VP.

In related news, the rumor mill is already hopping on another piece of gossip: is Jay-Z recording a new album?

DJ Clue, who is also signed to Roc-A-Fella, released a street mixtape yesterday titled “I Am Legend,” featuring a new track “Ain’t I” by Jay-Z.

The mixtape’s tracklist describes the song as “(World Wide Exclusive), Blueprint 3.”

And on the song, DJ Clue adlibs in his signature echo: “New Jay-Z … off that ‘Blueprint 3,’ baby.”

No word yet on whether “Ain’t I,” produced by Timbaland, will be officially released on a forthcoming project.

Jay’s latest album, “American Gangster,” hit stores in November. It has since sold over 780,000 copies.

Selfish bloodsucker of the poor! i like how jay put out 2 or 3 albums but his young boar young chris album been done and jay got him sittin! selfish and dont wanna see a young n!gga shine.. Ive discovered that people that like jay-z are usually like jay-z.. Selfish fatherless f uckheads! you people love money so much that if your loved one was kidnapped you wouldnt give up money to get them back..

What you want ... Jay-z to hold their hands for they entire lives? everybody can't go platinum. He helped kanye, then kanye help himself. Same for bleek & beans. Teach a man to fish, etc etc

Co-sign truth as for the hater in the room (clears throat and points at you) most of jay-z verses are enlightnening words that teach you to harn your entreprenure spirit, not selling dope but flipping your $500 to make $1000 and make that $1000 one thousand times.... Of course you're not going to get all of that, let it process and come back to this thread a week later after i've cashed in a few checks you'll still be hatin... As for young chris young gunnz whatever you wanna call em, once you are introsuced to the world and the wold doesn't respond to your music, live learn and keep pushing cause dude can not spit to save his life.. Jay can not help him with that, one must learn this game and pave his or her own way.. How is it that this young chris album been done for x amount of months that its still no shelf space for it? cause its sub-par.... Countless rap is so yesterday (damn i miss the game) new innovation is back... Play with it***************************

Until they figure out how to stop illegal downloading, record sales will continue to be irrelevant. Even without downloading, no one is buying albums. Josh groban's christmas album was the best-selling cd of 2007, and only went 3x platinum. 50 only sold 1 million. It doesn't matter.

Anyway, i can't wait for blueprint 3 (even though i'm not a fan of having 3 albums of the same name). "ain't i" is nice, it sounds like hov from the blueprint. Hope it drops soon!!!
Posted by Shawn Corleone
First of all F*ck who aint got no constructive critism for hov that aint worth hearing second jay is the epitome of a succesful hussler every man in this world has the choice to choose they own destiny so dont give me that sh*t about chris and neef being on the shelf they got the name state prop and the roc behind them they can go and make hundreds of mixtapes and material under that name if they want if i was on the roc i would put out dumb mixtapes and singles until them n*ggas had no choice but to put me out so you n*ggas who hate stop using anotha n*ggas success as an excuse for why you to lazy to get out and get it remember jigga was once broke too most of us dont come in this world rich unless you bill gates son we was given the freedom of choice: use it n*gga

Jay z is 33rd degree mason and his god is amun, for the love of money, illuminated one!!!!
Posted by joe
Jay gotta prove to it's worth buying the whole album his last 2 were sub pa. The cool thing about being a "hater" is that you have an opinion
Posted by captian slapa hoe
......why you idiots think its something wrong wit being a mason is beyond me..... But christianity (because that is what we're talkn about) has barrowed much from paganism.... The pope's whole get-up has pagan origians. The keys he carries is really the keys of mithraism and the god janus, remember the sun god (which is really nimrod/janus) carried keys..... Jesus & mary worship, the father "sun/son", holy ghost or the trinity has its origins in paganism as well... It is really the story of the mighty hunter nimrod who died, it was his wife semiramis who told the people he became the sun, and that their son tammuz was nimrod born again...... Mother & child worship, jesus and mary for those of you who are catholic, is really simiramis & tammuz, devaki & crishna, isis & horus, or indrani & child..... The obelisk in front of st. Peter's has pagan beginnings also... I can go on & on for dayz with this..... But these are the things masons educate themselves on, so they can make proper moves in this world... While others are moved by tradition & superstition.....
Posted by evenwhenilie
^^knowledge is neitha good or evil.. The masons that are in physical power right now are using that knowledge for evil ends so maybe that's why people view all masons as evil... Oh and callin people "idiots" and acting self-righteous aint a good way to get ur message across,just a thought my brotha
Posted by dj blendz
......dj blendz, everyone in power is said to be using it for evil..... The sh*ts getn redundant don't you think.... Evil is really a human condition.
Posted by evenwhenilie
......p.s., if they weren't masons, they still would seek to gain control, and optimize their funds at the exspence of others.... The ultimate way is free labor, which is slavery... A more moderate way is to rob you slowly....... This situation has always existed.... It is the by-product of ownership, we've brought the idea of power first into our minds, and then we cultivated it into our social structures and so forth...... We are trapped in the throws psycho-materialism... Our past is tinted with it, we can this condition history....
Posted by evenwhenilie
^^^masons knowledge,initiations,deeds,associations , sponsorships,community works,literature are all secret. Its a secret society, if there purpose is positive with the peoples best interests at heart it wouldnt be a secret! my pops is a 30somethin degree grandmaster mason ridin around with emblems,black stones in his pocket,big ass black briefcase full of so called knowledge written in secret language and doesnt associate with people unless theyre masons,shrines,or eastern stars(masons sisterhood).him and his cohorts are savages! they eat swine,teach falsehood to the babies,worship materialisim and social status,for instance for some odd reason every lodge member from his temple drive black 08 rangerovers.im family but i was forbidden to enter the lodge.pssssss dont nobody tell me where i can and cant go so i walked in there peacefully to be greeted with hostility and lies about who god is! they believe in a mystery god,they also teach that islam is a "jailhouse religion" which is not so.that mason sh!t is seperatisim that divides people of color based on finacical status.one of these old pedaphile masons said that"a poor righteous teacher is an unfit teacher? thats when i knew that someone need to burn down that lodge!!!

Freemason betha.... You are a fukin moron, young chris cant rap for sh!t, jay- z is the god m.c., wether anyone recognize that or not, you don't need to, its still true b!tch!!
Posted by MIDWEST785
1two, its nothing secret about the masons, or their professed knowledge..... A knowledge that anyone who had the time could study on their own.. But in truth the masons is just another social structure with various positions, for egoes to fill... Humans set up these power structures in everything we do... If the world as we know it was to stop, and there were some humans left.. They would start to make the same social constructs and restraints.... Every social system is reflective of some power structure... And in order for power to exist within our societies.. Someone has to be victomized on one level or another.......

^^jay-z is a 10%er why sit here and argue about it with n!ggaz that could care less about what jay is? half these n!ggaz on nbs dont know who they are! and the other half of these comments are from whiteboys with the same agenda jay-z has! dudes on here will fight to the death to defend this wicked evil doers name! no matter what you say p.e.a.c.e.

Im just shocked that ya givin jay this much power...the real power lies behind the scenes with "philanthropists" like david rockefeller, the rothschilds,astors,queen elizabeth and the royal family,etc... Jay has no such power,he a F*ck*n rapper,that's it no more,no less...let's wake up and fight real battles not no damn nonsense like this!! i'm really scared for ya cause if ya cant truly see who our enemies is then we in deep sh*t..no big ass words just the truth!!!

^wrong!!! anytime a muf ucka worth 400 million,own millions of dollars of property and land,own millions in assets,employs others,and got all they paperwork straight theyre more than just a rapper! jay can and does manipulate others the same way the muf uckas you named does! you think jay aint alligning himself with the people you named? jay touchin people the"philanthropists cant(like you) jay been spreadin his ideology,masonic agenda, separtist doctrine for years and millions of people listen and instill his ideas in theyre children! its n!ggaz that got evicted after new years eve tryna cop cases of "ace of spades" champane! they knew they rent was due but they wanted to be like jay for one night.. Homeless for one hundred nights! when you got the power to influence and project devilish images, you a devil! no way around it. My youngin talkin bout she want a maybach but she flunkin outta school! she got a full academic scholarship to penn state main campus,one semester left tryna pop bottles and wear clothes she cant even pronounce listening to jigga! dont try to tell me the n!gga "just a rapper"

Look at the "secret rulers and you will see who really runs the show. The rothschild's banking empire stated the united nations do some research about the 300 families. Vatican=religion control, london=financial control, d.c=military control. They pick our president and run america. Who has over $400 trillion dollars and is responsible for bringing hitler and stalin into power. Who forced america into world war i so that they could get israal and bankrupt america. Who started the federal reserve, stole americas gold and has bankrupt england and america. Who has a bank in every major city in the world and is causing massive famine in africa. Who slept in the white house during his wedding and plays both side and profits from war. Who stole the jews gold and the gold at the world trade center, and fort knox! who's daughter just sold a bank for $650 million dollar and hangs with hillary clinton. Who own shares in fox news and goldman sacs(the only company that did not loose from the sub-prime mess)and is the reason why ron paul cannot get press time and his oil pipeline and opium is the reason we are in afganastan and iraq? who is pushing for a world government, religion, police state. Who want to use blackwater against american citizens. Who has passed banking laws and the patriot act taking away our liberties and trying to end the constitution? buy some silver and palladium, the dollar is trash!

Once again if u think jay has true power then u sadly misguided and " they" already have ur mind..jay aint nothin but a pawn that they use to brainwash kids minds with thoughts of million-dollar dreams..the same way they use barack obama to make people think he about "change"..the fact that we debatin about if jay has "real power" has already shown "they" have us lookin in the wrong direction,and "they" dont mind that at all,,it's a shell game they playin on us

You dont know what tha phuck you talkin bout ^^ whiteboy! money is power,jay-z got it,jay influences black kids,black kids have discarded all tradition,moral,respect for self and others,integrity,love,family values in order to be"fresh to death" black kids is dyin over this bullsh!t! thats our big picture mr.blendz! shell game my ass
Posted by BERNARD HOPKINS 215
^^ aint much more left to say but if u choose to give jay that much power over u and your kids lives then that's on u..and as for callin me a "whiteboy",nah im not white but i refuse to keep my "eyes wide shut"..continue on with the "shell games" now.. Peace

The hiphop community needs to be informed about the coming bank failure and the possible collapse of the us dollar. Why we are shaking to the beat and popping bottles, buying china goods, the us is in financial trouble! find a local coin dealer and purchase some precious metals. Silver, palladium, gold, and if you can afford it platinum. Some sites are (apmex), (kitco) and (allamericangold), and (coloradogold). Inflation is over 10% an as the dollar declines pm's will rise. Section 1 article 10 of the us constitution says that gold and silver are the only legal tender. Do some research! in 2004 rodium in the platinum group was 650, it is over $7,000! gold $903.40 $904.40 -0.50 silver $16.66 $16.71 -0.07 platinum $1,801.00 $1,811.00 12.40 palladium $425.60 $430.60 -1.4

Go to billboard american gangster has been platinum for 3 weeks now. Those figures are all wrong. 1,132,975 is the right number.

Nas and jay-z mason's theory interesting read ---------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------- i just read this and thought it was interesting so i share wit you! quote: originally posted by sohh thread ive received a few pms askin what this mason thing has to do with rap, alot of young dudes want more knowlege...so im gonna kick my opinion...and just sh1t ive picked up on...damn this is gonna take me a while ive been following nas and jays career since they pretty much started out...jay before dumbin down was prolly my fav, neck and neck with nas...but after goin commercial i grew a hatred for him...thas besides the point...if you know your sh1t about these 2 emcees and you actually listen to their lyrics and try to understand them, you know these are 2 smart nikkas...i mean in a knowlegable way as in books, religion, certain "cults"...specially nas. We've all seen nas transform through his career, most call it him being a hypocrit, including me, but i think this nikka just has a thirst for knowlege...and he grows as he learns. This explains him goin from a chrstian...to wearing kufi's...to becoming a mason. If your up on jayz, you know about his anti-god stand in life...and alot of times his subliminal message in his songs...im not gonna go into the hundreds of lines...just a few tho..."if jehova witnessed bet he'd never testify"...on the track called d'evils...or..."never prayed to god i prayed to gotti"..."raise hell til its heavon"...the track lucifer..."lor

Most of y'all kickin' some game and got some good points. There's alot of thought provokin' sh*t on here.first of all, we don't really know jay personally, so we don't know what's all true or not,so we can't judge him. However, between what we do know to be fact and what we think we know, there is alot of room for good political discussion. Here's my 2 cents. If jay; (a) went behind dame & biggs back and sold the roc to himself without talkin' to them (b) convinced dame & biggs to sell the roc and then announced that he was gonna be pres. And then told them to get lost, that sh*t was foul. If jay really got rid of peedi crakk the way that he said it went down, by messenger, he foul and P*ss*. Especially if he did that after stepping down. What is that, spite or some sh*t? from what peedi says, they dropped the whole roc except one unknown artist (assumably kanye,maybe bleek). Of course, the article above says thats not true, but if you go on youtube and hear bean's & free's latest interviews, it sounds like that's probably true.they don't really say nothing specific, but they definitely pissed about somethin. We know that they're not being promoted right. The posters ain't up, the commercials ain't playin', they ain't got no tour dates posted on rocafella or sh*t. I don't think they got tours. But jay damn sho' promotin himself. With that position, your supposed to take care of your artist. You can't say that jay can't hold they hands. They're not askin' for free money. They're askin' for promo,
