JAY-Z COMMENTS ON BEANIE SIGEL
"This [is] rap music and the competitive by nature, nothing really surprises me anymore but I'll honestly say, that was one that was like a shocker. When you from a certain place, cut from a certain cloth, there's certain things that's just off limits. When you cross that line, we put you in a different box. That one was a little surprising. The competitive nature of rap music dictates that's how it goes more times than it's not...I think everybody run outta ideas, it's all just marketing at this point. I don't even think it's competition anymore."
