I'm pretty sure it was aimed at The Lox.
Jadadiss even dissed him a few months later on the Fat Joe's "My Lifestyle" remix.

Why you say that ? Steve Stoute was head of black music over at Interscope and he wanted a remix so the Trackmasters went in and knocked the remix out. When it was done, they wanted Jay-Z on it. (Jay-Z was asked to do the remix)"willywanker;7942050 said:Jay the snake.

Just think about this. In most people's eyes, the highlight of perhaps the biggest song he has ever been on, "Money Power Respect" is the DMX feature at the end.

Jada wasn't on Def Jam for his first album, he was on the Ruff Ryders / Interscope label. That nigga karceno is A goofball"

Not necessarily. The buzz in NY at the time was big, but I remember when the album dropped, nothing much happened after.

But jay had repeat offenses and was a part owner in the biz kiss was signed to.

As far as buzzes go for a debut album Jada's might of been top 3 all time, I remember those songs that leaked which also helped his buzz because those songs were Classic material, Jada was everywhere killin shit at the time its not far fetched
Come on now... Jadakiss had buzz, but it wasn't DMX "Ruff Ryders Anthem" type buzz. Hell, the two LOX albums together have only sold 2 million copies. During the time period of the LOX's debut, till the time Jadakiss got to work on his solo project, DMX dropped three albums that each outsold the LOX's career numbers; Jay-Z dropped two that did it; and Ja Rule dropped one that did it.
This guy's statement is crazy. It would be illogical to give Jadakiss a bigger budget than Jay-Z during any stage of Jay-Z's career after Vol. 1.

Not sure Ruff Ryders anthem dropped before the album, thought that single dropped after the album was already out but I could be wrong about that, he's not exaggerating Jada's buzz at the time, the budget thing could be a lie I don't know but it sounds legit, if you were too young at the time and weren't paying attention then its easy to look back and say Jada didn't sell like them or Jada didn't put out as good of an album than them but from putting work in with the Lox including We are the streets which was a street classic at the time and being the most anticipated to drop his first solo out of the group, joining DMX to form the Ruff Ryders who were bigger than the Roc at the time, shining more than any artist on ruff ryders vol 2 on Eve's hit, on WW3 with Snoop and Scarface, his solo track and the lox track, his funk flex vol 4 freestyle which was arguably the highlight of the album, showing up on John Blaze with NY's most respected, all the classic tracks that did leak when his buzz was at its highest, killing multiple remixes (My lifestyle, keepin it gangsta, put yo hood up etc), multiple collaborative albums (Funk flex, Clue, Violator), showing up on R&B hits (Mya, Mary J, Sunshine Anderson), hell even the Iverson commercial, I would say the beef with Beans but that probably didn't help him, Jada's buzz was as big as anyone going into his debut, just didn't deliver

This is actually funny because I was a big 50 fan at the time and even I noticed 50 was dropping doo doo bars. Case in point...
I Run NY - "Because he ain't got none of that shit he say that he got. And he ain't did none of that shit he said that he did. And I got time be talking about this shit, fuckin faggot!"
Smh, this nigga really said that shit. Even the dj who premiered on Hot 97 said it was garbage. Beat is dope though.
Lol at a nigga being able to just create any story and ppl don't even question it they just run with it as fact....so kiss had the biggest budget and was the hottest thing out but he needed a look on a Mya track??? The track with Mya and kiss was so hot on the charts jay had to be on the remix but it only spent 2 weeks on the charts and that was at #50??? And why would jay worry about kiss budget wasn't ruff ryders with interscope and not def jam??? Lmao but hey I guess....

I don't know about the budget part,
But as far as jay jumping on all of the remixes to Jadakiss songs,
niggas been saying this since the early 2000's..
I remember Dj Clue dropping the original and the remixes back to back..
The most blatant was "Fiesta" and Best of Me"..
cause they were both hit songs and Jay made the remix and stole Jada's shine..
YamsCassell ;7942262 said:Jay repeatedly shows he puts business over personal relationships.
That's been apparent from jump
for real, he been rapping about it since he came in the game. true old school hustler
