CL INTERVIEW: LUCY DIAMONDS SPEAKS

Tuesday, September 26, 2006

lucy_d.jpg
Lucy Diamonds is no stranger to gossip blogs. In the past week, she has done “exclusive interviews” for about 3 of them. Since she e-mailed us (after she read some of your comments), I decided to ask her some questions of my own.

Initially, I wanted to do the interview over the phone, but she wanted me to e-mail the questions..

In the interview, the rapper apologizes to Jay-Z’s mother, talks about the infamous 50 Cent magic-stick comment, and speaks on gossip blogs..

First up, I gotta ask you- How do you feel about gossip blogs? Do you check out any of them?
LUCY DIAMONDS: Honestly, I never really paid attention to gossip blogs, nor did I realize the strength and the impact it has on today’s general public. Last week after the XXL Mag online story came out, a lot of your readers here at concreteloop messaged me to myspace, emailed me, im’ed me and called me. So immediately this website caught my attention and I checked it out and I saw some of the comments. I respect everyone’s opinion even the negative comments. The revolution will be blogged!!!

I actually viewed your myspace video thing the other day, and you were clowning everyone from Miss Info, Jay-Z, to 50 Cent. I got to ask, 50 really doesn’t have a magic stick?
It’s clinically proven that if anybody abuses steroids, it affects the magic stick. So if it’s true that 50 is abusing steroids, then he suffers from this symptom…

Ok, so let’s get to this whole Jay-Z debacle. You said so much of the story hasn’t even been brought up, what do you mean by that?
Everyday something else can be added to this ongoing story. Everyday I get some form of hate from this, but the hate will not stop my movement. I know lot of people are planning on coming out against me. But at the same time I’ve received just as much love and I appreciate the support.

Jay-Z hit you up recently, what did he say to you?
I talked to Jay-Z yesterday several times via two-way. It was an interesting conversation to say the least. I do want to apologize for calling his mother a lesbian. And I am. It wasn’t in my place to speak out against his mom. It’s very disrespectful on a different level, and while I’m not apologizing to Jay-Z, I’m apologizing to Gloria Carter for my complete disrespect. Let me get it clear, I’m not apologizing for what I said about my personal opinions on his blasphemous lyrics, the unfair stance he took because of my association with Amil, or anything else. And while I do not agree with a lot of choices people make, especially those which go against what the bible teaches us, (and I am not saying that I myself have not made many poor decisions), how I addressed the situation was completely wrong, and I have no excuse for the things I’ve said about Jay-Z’s mother. I handled it very poorly, so once again, Gloria Carter I am very sorry for all the unnecessary disrespect I’ve shown. It was not kind to lash out at you, and for that I apologize.

In a recent interview with Fresh from XXL, you said Jay-Z was like the anti-Christ. Why did you say that?
In the book of Revelation, and throughout the bible actually, we are warned about false prophets, and I understand that most people don’t know how to apply the bible’s messages into our modern living. I’m not saying Jay-Z is the Anti-Christ, but can be likened to a false prophet, and I am in no position to judge him but I do feel responsible for pointing out the danger he is putting himself in. You can’t put yourself on a level like that, you can’t view yourself as having any importance to people. Everything he has, he has because God allowed him to have it, it was by nothing he did, and he needs to remember that. We all do. Everything we have and everything we do is by the grace of God. I am not trying to beat people over the head with my beliefs or anything like that, and I’m actually very conflicted when I feel I should speak out on what I believe because I do not want my words or my actions to disgrace God. I don’t want my past mistakes to let people view me as a hypocrite now and therefore not take what I say about God seriously, simply because I am the one speaking about Him.

A lot of people are saying you keep bringing up this Jay-Z thing just to get attention for your album, what do you have to say to them?
If people think that, they are wrong. First of all, I don’t have an album out so I’m not promoting anything to sell. Right now, I’m giving away my music. Anybody can hear my music at www.myspace.com/officiallucydiamonds and if they want a song, they can email me and I’ll personally send them my music for free. It’s not about the money.

Don’t you think this whole thing will sabotage your career? Or do you even care?
Everybody is saying that I am committing career suicide, I’m going to be blackballed from the industry and I won’t have a future. I honestly don’t care. The business of music is so trivial, it just doesn’t matter to me. Look at people who work so hard and never get deals, never put out records, and never let go of their dream of doing it, so they just keep taking the beatings. Or how about a band who gets a deal and releases an album and they just never pop? They just sit in the stores telling their friends they had an album out, and that’s all it ever amounts to. So I’m not afraid of career suicide, if that’s what you want to call it. People are over when they’re over. However, with all the technology of today, it is much easier for an artist to remain independent, especially if you only aim for a smaller but loyal fanbase. You can now do everything yourself. You don’t have to answer to a corporation or the industry. You can sell your music on your own websites, press up your own music and sell it at your shows. You can sell your music yourself through iTunes, create your own ring tones, and promote and sell it on myspace. If you can’t get your video played, you can youtube and still reach the masses. An artists success depends on the artist and their music. That’s it.

Ok I do this thing called “name drop” basically I just drop names, and you say the first thing that comes to mind.

So what’s next for you? I know you have a new album, entitled Poor Dream Redemption, coming out soon. Is this going to be released independently?
Poor Dream Redmeption will be released at the first of next year through an independent label with major international distribution.

Is there anything else you want to clear up?
We need to clear up hip-hop in general. It’s not art anymore, it’s art-ificial.

Good interview Angel.la!!

Well, you can’t say the girl is not well spoken. She makes a lot of points, but if she wants us to believe that she isn’t stirring this shit up for her own exposure…..she needs to deal with grown folk.

So is his mama gay or not?
And where did she (Lucy) come from)?

And now that I think of it, who cares if his mam is gay.

BUT I must admit I have questioned Jay referencing himself as “Hov” and things of that nature.

He aint J.W. is he????

um… no wonder she be givin her music away for free. she couldn’t pay me to download it.

btw, what’s her connection to amil? and where the hell is amil anyway? jay just dropped her, what happened next??

I think that her Jay-Z/Anti-Christ comparison was interesting. However, I’ll stick to my George Bush/Anti-Christ comparisons. They’re far more convincing.

In another interview she said Amil was the one who put her on. I’m guessing Amil introduced her to Jay-Z or something.

10.

J. Lewis

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

I don’t think Jay-Z thinks he is God the Savior or anything. I think he saying he is the God of the rap world. So leave it to the “holy where art thou” religious folks to misinterpret that and say he thinks he is God the Son of Christ.

11.

BrightFuture

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

I never have agreed with the whole “Hov” thing Jay-Z has going on. I’ve always been taught that you just don’t compare yourself to God…no matter if it’s the “god” of rap or whatever. Just say you’re the best…sayin you’re God is a bit much. BUT since I’m no big Jay-Z fan I could givva shit. I did hear that people in New York don’t have religion, that’s why they say shit like that, LOL..

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

When I read her answers she really sounds as if she got herself into something she did not expect to get as far as it did and now she is trying to cover up previous statements, it reads off to me as a bunch of words all saying the same thing “Im Hating”.

I read an article on Amil like a year or two ago in one of the hip hop magazines with her talking about being dropped and how she couldnt feed her family and she was working in a grocery store. Dont quote me on that but its something to that effect.

When it comes down to it, Amil and Lucy are both horrible, props to them if they think that their music is hot. Jay made a good decision getting rid of Amil, I doubt anyone besides her family thought she was a good artist, if she was, she wouldve gotten picked back up or Jay wouldve carried her on his shoulders like Memphis Bleek.

Why is she putting his momma’s business out there. I would wanna beat her ass down for putting my moms bizness out there. I’m REALLY MAD… Cause this wench has crossed the line what does his mothers sexual preference have to do with their beef. Who the fuck gave her the pass that made her cross the line. I want her slapped ASAP!

Such Magnificence

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

She should apologize b.cuz that statement about Ms.Carter was totally uncalled for…

Furthermore, she has alot of nerve talking about its not about the money…but I do have an album being released the first of next year. Sweetheart please go and sit down somewhere…one thing about hip-hop fans is we call out a fake-@$$ mofo when we see one.

She is right in a way though right now it shouldn’t be about the money for her…it should be about getting her name out there and getting people to wonder who is this chick?

Well Ms.Lucy D congrats now we all know you…I still ain’t gonna get your album even if it is free! Not interested in you or Amil….

#11 I agree with you. i don’t give a damn who you are your still not suppose to say you are god of anything. There is only one god. Or maybe hes not a beleive or maybe he just don’t give a damn.

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

I agree - very good interview. I don’t know who she is, but I will say that I agree with one thing — the state of Hip Hop is pathetic right now. She talks tough — let’s see what she can do to change it.

J. Lewis - I agree with you. I think when he keeps calling himself “The God M.C….me….J-Hova” people are misinterpreting it. But for someone who’s so vocal and is the president of a company, it’s about time that he addresses the issue.

BlackGyrl30 - Out of complete love I have to say this….please don’t say “Fiddy”. Only out of touch old folks and (sorry..) out of touch caucasians call him “Fiddy”. When I hear it, it’s like nails on a chalkboard.

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

umm, what’s with all the hate on Jay-Z nowadays? now, maybe i shouldnt speak on it cuz i love me some Jay-Z but i highly doubt he is gonna be the downfall of civilization the way people are making it out to be. if he wants to call himself “Hova”, let him. he’ll get his day to explain himself to the one being that matters one day. oh, and i think amil and this broad got they “liquor license” together.

Man oh man this chick is crazy. When i saw her thing on her myspace page I sent her a message. She replied too. This chick needs to read the bible more b4 she start saying stuff that everybody has their own belief on. I think she is damn crazy for even saying he is an anti-christ or false prophet. He is not the dude in the industry trying to be a gangsta and promoting violence, sex or drugs. He is about making money and business. Where the FU*& she get this shyt from that was totally personal about his mom and he probably didnt want that to bring unwanted attention. What does his mom sex life have to do with him cutting LUCY off. Nothing, she can try to speak all high and mighty I told that bitch she is def not a realist and she is def not loyal, because any loyal friend wouldnt put your family business on blast . I didnt even know who this idiot was until she came out with all this BS. Im so pissed off because Jay-Z has been making moves for 10+ years and he moved on. SHe alos said something like he aint putting out stuff up to JAy-Z status.

Wow, she says she has no album to promote then all of a sudden at the end of the interview we find she has an upcoming album, attention seeker. She also takes the bible WAYYYY to seriously.

So wait im confused… she apologized for calling Jay-Z’s mom and in the next sentence admitted that she is, even though she denied it on the video. What’s going on here..

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

Didn’t she see how quick Justin’s “black pass” got put on suspension? She hasn’t even put her’s up for review yet and she’s already starting drama…lol.

Amil is down w/ the black Israelites so maybe Lucy is too hence her need to “expose false prophets” (no offense to any black Israelites in the house). I wish her the best, because she sounds young and very confused. If you truly are that religious, of all the “false prophets” to pick on why wouldn’t you choose one with political power or the false profits who are at the pulpit in some churches every Sunday? Her intentions don’t appear to be about religion. She is clearly trying to create a buzz for herself and there’s also some good ol’ fashion revenge thrown in their. I find it funny how Jay-Z wasn’t a “false prophet” when she was tryna get him to sign her? Its funny how after he dropped her and singed Lady Sovereign, she began attacking him and all of a sudden she wanted to be an “independent artist”.

Like I said before, REAL artist create a buzz w/ their music, not drama. Period. Negativity will get you nowhere in life. And I love how she apologized to Jay-Z’s mother… as if his mother even cared. Who are you??????

MsPink

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

Honestly this girl disturbs me. And yes I consider her a girl because women don’t handle themselves in this manner. She’s probably viewing things as theres no such things as bad publicity but there is. As far as her talking about Jay-z’s mother that is wrong by all means. Honestly I really don’t believe her when she says she two-ways Jay-z on a daily basis because there is no proof of that.

Now in reference to calling Jay-Z a false prophet….

“…and I am in no position to judge him but I do feel responsible for pointing out the danger he is putting himself in.”

I mean you say one thing and do another. You are judging the man. I could care less if he wanted to call himself snicker doodle. I wacthed a clip on YouTube about this looney bin “pastor” saying Jay-Z is brainwashing people. How naive I mean why should I feel anymore at ease that this preacher is on tv for one and I’m sure he doesn’t hesitate to dip in the offering money to buy a Lexus. There are false prophets everywhere but I doubt Jay-Z is the person to go after in this instance. *cough* Bush letting people drown and strave and being on vactation instead of defending the country and killing people for oil. *I really need to do something about my cold*

There are so many other people we can refer to as the anti-christ. The whole Bush family for instance. Jay-z is all but one person who holds little to no power in regards to the world. Either buy his music or not shit how hard is it to change the damn channel?

I mean this is some ignorant ish for this pasty ass Bia to come out and call a black man trying to do something half way productive with his life the anti-christ. This Bia needs to be kick boxed in her mouth.

35.

Angel.La

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

@ 29, I think she meant to say that she was apologizing right now, at this moment. For calling Jay-Z’s mom a lesbian… I guess she wrote it wrong.

36.

MissTee2U

Tuesday, September 26, 2006 /

I don’t think you should totally disavow her comments about Jay-Z being a false prophet. I think she has a point there. Jay-Z has put out lyrics, songs and now clothing that has made him very, very wealthy so he should feel a sense of responsibility to those people who have made him rich. False prophets can be everywhere, in the Senate, the White House, the church or on BET….it’s those that follow false prophets that are dealt with in the Bible if I remember. So while it may not be Jay’s fault that people take him literally at his world, anyone can tell you that words, especially those spoken to the masses are important. So I hear her when she says he’s conflicted. He would have to be. His music indicates that. As I said before Jay-Z has stans like you wouldn’t believe. But you could make the case for many celebrities. This is world full of people worship false prophets.
As far as Jay-Z’s mom is concerned, she is not the first person to put that out. That has been talked about for some time. If she is or not, is it really anyone’s business?

This is garbage, this dummy will be working at the same grocery store shes been working at her whole life. She will never become a rapper, and no one will buy that shit ass album if it ever comes out… Who am i fooling, no one is going to be stupid enough to sign her in the first place..

Great (e-mail) interview. What I don’t like about Lucy’s declarations is that all of sudden that she wants to throw God around her situation with Jay-Z after all the venom she has spewed. I understand and agree with her frustrations against Jay-Z, hip-hop and the music business, but God is never a part of anger.

WOW THAT WAS DEEP! I RESPECT HER VIEW AND OPINIONS AND I THINK IT TAKES A BIG PERSON TO ADMIT WHEN THEY ARE WRONG AND SHE DID JUST THAT.

I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO AMIL I LOVED HER STYLE I THOUGHT SHE WAS FLY. I WANTED HER TO MAKE IT SO SHE COULD PURCHASE THE HOLLYWOOD TEETH LORD KNOWS SHE NEEDED THEM, REMEMBER THAT SONG WITH BEYONCE “I GOT THAT” THAT WAS THE JAM…

SHOUT OUT TO DEVRON…

The Jay Hov thing is not right. He shouldn’t compare himself to God in no way, form or fashion. I have read on a few websites where alot of the industry don’t believe in God. They believe that the black man is God. Jay was one of those on the long list. He also has a song if you listen to it, it says “666 murder murder Jesus”. It was referenced on “media take out”. There is a clipse of a preacher taking about Jay calling hismself “Jay Hov”. He also lets you hear the song played backwards. Some of you before you jump all over this girl for saying Jay is the Anti Christ read about the anti christ and then check the clip of the preacher and listen to Jay’s song he plays during his sermon. It’s makes you wonder.

okay people…the “backwards” version of Jay-Z song that that “preacher” had is a track from the grey album that dangermouse put out a couple years ago. and before people say “well he had to approve it” yeah he approved him using the black album for material. that’s it. this really isnt as serious as people are making it out to be. i think bush paid this chick….

Anti-Christ? what? she is jealous, people. because Jay is such a talented artist, and he sold several records all over the world. and know she comes with this? so poor! and the worst part of all this shit: who she thinks she is to talk about Jay’s momma? she’s like, crazy! and know she wants to apologize.. that shit doesn’t fool me. I think she needs a serious help, really, she’s out of her mind. please, somebody help her!

Great interview Angel.la however I DONT THINK SHE DESERVES THE TIME OF DAY..

To say that Jay z is a false prophet, she has her damn nerve. First of all everyone in this world is NOT a christian and there is a separation between the state and church so why is she even throwing religion into anything. And who is she to KNOw who is doing the work of the Lord????? All these ministers teaching bullcrap and taking peoples tithes. She has her nerve. I want her to talk about the false prophets or her ANCESTORS who taught Christianity to the slaves yet they were raping them and lieing to them…how bout the real false prophets. ..or should I take her back to Alexander the Great who used to manipulate the public???? Has this heffa even studied religion to be talking that kind of SHYT

WE NEED TO STOP LETTING DEVILS COME INTO OUR COMMUNITY WITH ACCUSATIONS AND EVIL INTENTIONS. TAKE THAT SHIT

Biot&** he is saying he is the god of rap….people take lyrics so seriously , it is entertainment ,,,,shyt the governator of California was an action hero…..if thats the case how can soomeone who ACTEd like a killer be a governor..?

How about all the false prophets ie missionaries who call themselves so called helping people in 3rd world countries. Brainwashing them and giving them false hope. Pray and you wont be hungry again, pray and the famine will be over all the while they are eating chicken and steaks…..

This white girl needs to quit, the State of hip hop sucks, but its only because the white guys in charge are promoting that bullcrap, they see ignorance makes money and they are taking it to the bank. She needs to go meet with some of her kinfolk and see the money they are making off black peoples ignorance…..Jay z is an educated man and rapper. Why isnt she attacking the REAL ignorant rappers???? I swear these devil women always trying to BRING A BROTHA DOWN.

SHE SHOULD NOT BE EVEN GIVEN THE TIME OF DAY…LETS SPEND OUR ENERGY ON OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSITIVE MESSAGES

I seen the clip of that whole “666 murder murder Jesus” stuff. It was off the intro “Lucifer”on the Grey Album mixed by Danger Mouse. Jay-Z really didn’t have anything to do with that. The pastor didn’t know what he was talking about. Saying Jay-Z think he is God. I can’t wait til I get all religious and holy. Im gonna be at church EVERYDAY and I’m condeming everybody and think I’m perfect.

People need to take responsibilty for their own actions. As a society people want to put the blame on something. So they choose hip hop and video games. I’ve never wanted to go kill someone after listening to a rap CD. It’s bullcrap. It’s all starts with the parents taking responsibilty for their kids, PERIOD!

Nothing Personal against YOU LUCY (if you reading this) BUT Amil was dropped by Dame not just Jay because she couldnt sell as a Solo Artist. YOU KNOW THIS, Dame used to F**k Amil back in the day, early 90’s before she even had that nose job, if ya’ll really that tight…Anyway, Amil wasnt making moves and was just a waste of money for RocaFella.

Anyway, All i am saying, i never heard of you until 2 days ago so that tells me and many of us in here how strong your career is or will go. Furthermore, if Amil couldnt even go GOLD, how the hell you gonna be under her. She couldnt even write her own lyrics. If this is her revenge on Jay, Ya’ll aint even on his level ladies, he should sik Foxxy on ya’ll dumb asses.

As for the religious segment (HOVA etc. ) I dont think Jay refers to him as God, he uses that as a metaphore which ofcourse many dont agree with BUT no one has really complained until now. Nas goes by God’s Son, i aint here no one say shyt!!!!!

Personally, there is nothing like publicity! And she’s doing nothing more than working the system, problem… she chose the wrong person and the wrong person to gain that publicity (for that album she’s NOT trying to promote).

For one, there are too many brothas in the game who are trying to GET on, to attach themselves to someone who has so publicly denounced JayZ - you think these dudes would work with her and run the risk of never working with him, or anybody associated with him? He’s the PRESIDENT of Def Jam and besides that, he’s Jay Z… he’s touched too many people in the industry for someone credible to shoot themselves in the foot like that.

Secondly, no matter HOW much she denies it, her goal is to put her name out there, and guess what, we’re all interested in what she has to say because she chose of who she chose to say it ABOUT (otherwise, raise your hand if you knew who she was BEFORE this debacle)

And on the person who said that she was “well spoken”… you’re well SPOKEN, when you SPEAK… you’d BETTER sound intelligent when you get the opportunity to check, recheck and then spell check your responses before you’re “interviewed”.

You’d look VERY stupid if you had a chance to EDIT your response for political correctness, etc and you STILL sent it back lookin like a hot mess 3rd grade book report.

Great interview. I like the beat on one of her songs, but I can’t take her lyrics. Watch she is going to blow up in the UK. artist like her always do, so she don’t care what it is with the US.

J Lewis - took the words right out of my mouth. The clip even shows the album cover for the Grey Album. It’s unfortunate. This is why there’s such a disconnect between young folks and the church. Why not try to address the issue with Jay (or even do your homework a bit) before calling him the Anti-Christ. It’s too bad. But that still doesn’t explain why he would liken himself to the God we know as Jehovah. That is blasphemous. Perhaps he didn’t realize how serious it was. I don’t hear it as much anymore — then again, he ain’t rapping much anymore either.

BlackGyrl - I tried to take the high road with you. 50 himself even clowned cornballs who say “Fiddy”. I was trying to keep you from looking like an idiot. I guess I should have known by reading a post so eloquent that you can barely make it through a thought without writing an expletive. Maybe if you could articulate your thoughts better you wouldn’t have to work at Popeye’s. “Mild or Spicy”??

I LIKE JAY JUST AS MUCH AS THE NEXT FAN, BUT I UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE THINGS SHE IS SAYING. LOOK AT THE RESPONSES ON THIS BLOG TO HER OPINION, PEOPLE ACT LIKE THE WANT TO HURT HER FOR SAYING SOMETHING BAD ABOUT JAY-Z. SO I GUESS YOUR NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A OPINION AND IF YOU DO YOU MUST KEEP IT TO YOURSELF?

Great interview Angel.la however I DONT THINK SHE DESERVES THE TIME OF DAY..

To say that Jay z is a false prophet, she has her damn nerve. First of all everyone in this world is NOT a christian and there is a separation between the state and church so why is she even throwing religion into anything. And who is she to KNOw who is doing the work of the Lord????? All these ministers teaching bullcrap and taking peoples tithes. She has her nerve. I want her to talk about the false prophets or her ANCESTORS who taught Christianity to the slaves yet they were raping them and lieing to them…how bout the real false prophets. ..or should I take her back to Alexander the Great who used to manipulate the public???? Has this heffa even studied religion to be talking that kind of SHYT

WE NEED TO STOP LETTING DEVILS COME INTO OUR COMMUNITY WITH ACCUSATIONS AND EVIL INTENTIONS. TAKE THAT SHIT

Biot&** he is saying he is the god of rap….people take lyrics so seriously , it is entertainment ,,,,shyt the governator of California was an action hero…..if thats the case how can soomeone who ACTEd like a killer be a governor..?

How about all the false prophets ie missionaries who call themselves so called helping people in 3rd world countries. Brainwashing them and giving them false hope. Pray and you wont be hungry again, pray and the famine will be over all the while they are eating chicken and steaks…..

This white girl needs to quit, the State of hip hop sucks, but its only because the white guys in charge are promoting that bullcrap, they see ignorance makes money and they are taking it to the bank. She needs to go meet with some of her kinfolk and see the money they are making off black peoples ignorance…..Jay z is an educated man and rapper. Why isnt she attacking the REAL ignorant rappers???? I swear these devil women always trying to BRING A BROTHA DOWN.

SHE SHOULD NOT BE EVEN GIVEN THE TIME OF DAY…LETS SPEND OUR ENERGY ON OUR PEOPLE WHO HAVE POSITIVE MESSAGES

I think Lucy Diamonds isnt a bad person. At the end of the day she really has nothing to gain espicially going up against a powerhouse like Jay-Z. Who has been in the game 10+ years and has a loyal fanbase. So even if this is a publicity stunt it won’t help her push units cuase she doesn’t have many fans and Jay does. So ppl are going to take his side automatically cause they know him. That’s the thing about becoming a huge celebrity you have ppl who are going to ride for you regardless of what scandal you are caught in. Examples: Micheal Jackson, R. Kelly, etc.

@#11 Bright Future, that was a fucked up statement you made about people in NY having no religion. what the hell are you TALKING about? VERY IGNORANT.

yo that’s real…hip hop ain’t shit no more…i feel what your talking about the independent route. Soon these majors will not be able to keep up…as for jay-z…good rapper but he fell off…so the hell with him. Make your money and make your mark because at the end of the day none of these people are going to give a fuck about u…SO DO U MA!!

It’s not art anymore, it’s art-ificial.

I Think that the lady makes good points and it was really mature how she apologized bout dudes mom, because she was not part of the conflict. People are attacking this woman and I wonder would it be as vile if she was black. The fact remains that Jay Zs title can be viewed as blasphemy and those who are trying to justify are looking like lambs for slaughter.

Am I the only one who believes that that “apology” had everything to do with WHATEVER was in that ” interesting two-way” discussion she had with Jay-Z?

And on the point that she is being blasted for having an opinion - I think she’s on blast because she’s doing all of this talking, and, although I haven’t heard her stuff… I don’t think she’s doin CHRISTIAN rap, herself (You’re righteous and you’re talkin about somebody’s mama and another mf’s “magic stick”… I’m just not buying it)

Brooke..no need to name call sweetness. That’s just what I heard. Of course that statement can’t be true for EVERY New Yorker. Yes, that would be ignorant to try to put an entire city in one category like that. I just heard that a majority of New Yorkers say things in regards to religion, etc. that a lotta other people may find offensive because they don’t have a true sense of religion. I was saying that maybe this is the explanation for some New York rappers calling themselves God, Hov, and etc.

GREAT JOB ANGEL.LA and i’m saying everyone has an opinion, all that went down between them may not be said, just basic things they want us to hear, you don’t know what history people haave together and EVERYONE knows the music biz is triffling, so it is what is is! They have a problem and this is just how it’s going down!
