CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS: This most unfortunate of stories has been brewing since last Friday afternoon, but, as a matter of strategy, I have been reluctant to weigh in because I knew that it would develop into much more, and, as usual, I was right.

While the "What You Talkin' About (I Aint Your Average Cat)" track aint nothing nice, in his interview, Beanie Sigel gave, what I deem to be, a heartfelt admonition (NOTE: Not to be confused with your standard contrived rap "beef" meat marketing plan diss) of his former boss and friend Jay-Z. I can certainly see his point. For the record though, I don't even feel like the big homie was throwing shots @ Sigel on his BP3 Intro ... rappers sure are a hyper sensitive bunch.

Anyway, I myself have always wondered why Jay-Z didn't appear on more singles of his artists and push them towards greater success. I mean, Jay-Z's "Blueprint" could have easily been their cheatsheet ... lol. His name alone could have propelled his artists to platinum plaque status, but, he reneged. Why?

Well, in my esteemed opinion, it is because as great as he is, Shawn Corey Carter is a selfish asshole.  Mind Y.O.U. I do think that he is the "bee's knees", however, I do have unique insight here as I have personally seen Mr. Young Vito "Voice Of The Young People" look his Louis Vuitton Millionaire shaded eyes the other way and not even acknowledge many of his old hardbody comrades from the streets of Brooklyn as well ... I know this much to be true. That having been said, Beanie Sigel is no saint, his addictions made him unbearable @ specific points in his life and he should not be viewed without blame. You've gotta man up my G. As with much of life, this is complicated.

I truly hope that both parties can reconcile, but, I can't call it my nigga. Jay-Z is the type of person who has no qualms with cutting people off when he feels, correctly or incorrectly, that they are not holding their own. I invite Y.O.U. To hear ALL sides of this tumultuous story. Let's see how this unfolds.
