Jaz-O is the father ......

[KillaCham]

JAZ TOOK THAT FAST RAPPING SHIT TO NEW HEIGHTS...

AND THIS WAS DURING SIMPLER TIMES IN RAP.../

I TRULY FEEL HE WAS TOO AHEAD OF HIS TIME...

Really is refreshing to hear this sound. Have you listened to Jaz-O's albums? If so, thoughts?

That's one thing I always wonder do ya think JazO would've blown or his time had passed when this so Called Deal fell.

Son prob would've done Bleek numbers or less

Yeah but Bleek numbers aren't bad. Think of how many rap groups and artists that Bleek outsold.

I don't have the numbers in front of me but 300k units sold isn't bad.

 

[32DaysOfInfiniti]

That song is pretty dope anybody know what year that came out?

Bleek has 3 gold and 1 platinum album. The join't with Is That Your chick eventually went platinum. Bleek has had a solid career.

 

[dalyricalbandit]

2 gold (Coming of Age,M.A.D.E) and one damn near Plat like at 900k (The Understanding) his last 534 ain't go gold

He still outsold ALOT of people in his era

He didn't even blow on his own deal

I still got a lot of respect for Jaz O

 

[water ur seeds]

I think Jaz would of done well on Rocafella and hip hop heads would of prolly checked for him (especially as the mixtape were popping back then) even if he didnt commercially pop... I think he kinda slowed down his style and evolved well as the song at the top was butter smooth, not like the double time rap he was on back in the day...

Jaz clearly has ear for talent so he may of been a good A&R...

Also Bleek's M.A.D.E album is an underrated classic imo...

Jaz's problem was that he released two albums in the late 80s and neither one of them was hot. By the time Jay Z started poppin in the mid 90s, Jaz was like one of those novelty rappers from 5 years ago.

Jaz-O can rhyme, but he missed his opportunity.

I heard Jay Z offered him a deal circa 1999 and he didn't take it.

It was a garbage deal. You don't do your hero like that. If anything he should be gave him a behind the music gig.

I think Jaz's problem is that he was too smart for his own good. Having been in the industry for 10 years he knew what to ask for in a contract. Cats like Bleek, Freeway and Sigel probably didn't know what to ask for and got shitty deals.

The industry is swift and changeable just because you had a buzz 10 years ago doesn't mean anything right now.

Thought this was already known...

Jaz should've taken that deal and used it as a stepping stone...The Roc was just getting started, this was prior to the DefJam deal, so they couldnt have made a lucrative offer.....As we can see he didnt have many options pertaining to getting signed, so he should've went with that.......I think if he'd dropped sometime in 99 and another around 01 he wouldve had some success...

HE WOULD'VE MADE A DOPE IN-HOUSE PRODUCER FOR THE ROC...

HE ALREADY DID DOPE TRACKS FOR RAS KASS (RASSASSINATION) & M.O.P. (FIRING SQUAD)

AT WORST...

I THINK HE WOULD'VE DONE SOME DOPE COLLABS/FEATURES W/ HOV...

MAYBE A DOPE ALBUM THAT FLEW UNDER THE RADAR...

 

[Ear2DaSt]

Nah he don't need to be with that label ......

Jaz and Dame didn't quite see eye to eye and Jaz ain't some cat you can just bark orders at so that's probably why that didn't happen either .......
