Boosie and DJ Vlad engage in a debate about Jay-Z's relevancy in terms of recording and releasing new music right now.

Jaguar Wright speaks on R. Kelly, Dame Dash, and Jay Z love triangle and Jay Z making money off Biggie's death.
Dame dated R&B singer Aaliyah from 2000 to 2001, six years after she was infamously married to R. Kelly at the age of 15, so his feelings about Kelly may run deeper than we think.
In recent news, after Jay-Z’s comments that nobody could go toe to toe with him in a Verzuz, many people on social media and artists alike have been trying to dispel Hov’s claims. One of the artists who thinks they could beat Jay is Future. Future tweeted that he’s bigger in the streets than Jay-Z.
Dame Dash recently sat down on the That's F***ed Up podcast, where he spoke about Jay-Z and Nas' famous battle, which Dame says Jay lost.

The thing is, we had first hit him with the joint at Summer Jam that was kinda hard, the ‘Takeover.’ But when [Nas] came with the ‘Ether,’ I was kinda hype because he said my name. I was like, ‘I guess I’m in a rap record.’ But the response, I wasn’t there for the response."
