Man! Beanie Sigel pours his heart out on this track about the downfall of the Rocafella dynasty. Speaks on How Jay and Dame are to blame for it. Beans seems to accuse Dame of dipping into company's accounts to finance his lavish lifestyle and Jay for not having his back when he was going through some legal issues.
He has a lot to say and he sounds sincere and genuine about it. The song and the interview give a lot of insight to the public about what was going on behind the scenes. It even makes you question Jay-Z' loyalty to his soldiers. They would ride or die for him but they never felt the reciprocal love.
They were supposed to be family but Jay never gave him a visit while he was in jail nor did he ever help him financially by releasing him from his contracts so he could venture out to other labels and consider their bidding wars.
I understand Jay-Z is a business minded person but that's not how you treat your employees (If what Beanie says his true, there is always two sides to a story). A great example Beanie gives on how to do it is how 50 cent took care of his crew and made sure they were multimillionaires at the end of the day.
50 helped push Banks, Yayo, Buck and even The Game's singles by getting on the hook and throwing a couple verses here and there for the radio push. Jay never did that for anybody not even Memphis Bleek who is still by his side.
It sad really their dynasty had to end like this. They were becoming the biggest Rap label in the industry and they allowed money to come in between them.
Get it right next time.
