Who Killed Jam Master Jay?

| 39 Comments

Almost three years ago I heard the shocking news that Jam Master Jay was shot and killed in his own recording studio. Sadly, I'm not surprised that no one has even been arrested in connection with his murder.

I don't blame the police because it seems everyone involved in the case has been keeping their mouths shut. Are they following the no snitching code, or are JMJ's family and friends protecting his legacy from the blemish of drug related activity?

Who knows? The book, "Queens Reins Supreme" says JMJ was involved in shady business, while the family sasy no (read an update of the details on SOHH).

Though the Hip-Hop media may disagree with me, I hope JMJ's killer is brought to justice, but not if it means destroying the man's name. I remember Run-DMC as a pioneering rap group who proved we can go platinum without dreesing up in corny costumes and singing sugary pop songs. JMJ and his crew saved us from the fate of disco, for real. That's all I need to know about the man.

I don't get it. Niggas want to know who got him and say they'll do anything to find the person. Then, when the pigs do come through to ask questions, niggas want to live up to the code of the street and not snitch. And don't think nobody knows who did it. Y'all can't have it both fuckin ways.

50 killed jam master for setting him up. I dont blame him i wouldve done the same. "if shorty set you up you better dead her/him". mobb deep

another blog where someone mentions 50's name even though the subject has nothing to do wit him. unbelievable...

yo sha how did jay set 50 up?

perso je ne sais pas, on le saura jamais de toute maniere et c' est clair que c est un reglement de compte

yo fahizz get off my man 50's dick you hater.and philly everyone knows that jam set 50 up

fahizz, dont mention 50s name with JMJs?? nigga JMJ is the one who taught 50 how to write them hooks that made 50 millions....

how?

How did 5-0's name come up?
How did Jam Master Jay set up 5-0? I never heard that story before.

Thats whats wrong with the media. The media got everybody thinking the same bullshhh. First off, catz from the team put the word out that if JMJ was to help 50 get on, he was gonna get it, but JMJ said fuck that and tried to help 50 anyway, and the catz who had it in for 50 had JMJ killed.

still waitin for sha to say how jmj set 50 up...

Man this blog is bogus. The focus should be on Jay. Now speaking of Jay, if niggas truly knew the code of the streets and understood what snitching is, then people would have divulged the information already. And lets not get it twisted, most niggas dont even follow the G-code. Dealers rat on each other every day just to gain a little bit of turf. So it aint about the G-code. Many murders go unsolved, thats just the way it is. Sometimes killers walk, sometimes they get they tops popped, but many murders, especially in the streets, are left unsolved mysteries.

Dope game aint no joke !!!!!!!!

Hey everyone: I've never heard 50 Cent had anything to do with Jam Master Jay's murder. What I did hear, and continue to hear, is that Jay's Hollis Queens circle is divided, with some people taking a long hard second look at folks they used to pal around with. Anyone interested in sifting through the various theories might be interested in the final chapter of RAISING HELL (from Amistad, in stores now and a study of Jay's life and Art, not just his death). Where did this 50 Cent thing come from anyway? Just an online BS rumor (I hope)?

Ronin Ro

By the way, have to add, I still can't believe we now have to, during our one life on earth, even discuss the MURDER of Jam Master Jay. I mean, it's unbelievable. Sad, too.

Shaking head:

LMAO @ fiddy killin jmj... LMAO thats comedy. But on a real tip. Ill ask one question who cares if he was sellin ye' man. If he was he was doin it for doe cause i know he aint gettin no check on cds that last came out ten to twenty years ago. I mean hey if was then he was doesnt mean he wont be remembered for good things and contributions. I mean i did some hustlin and i did some community service. I even know dudes that move that soft and still throw cook-outs for the hood. I mean come on so what he got a family to feed just u and me if he was slangin ye' then fine. But honestly the dude wasnt no saint he was capable of doing wrong so they makin him out to be perfect cause he died. people have a thing about that, just because someone has died doesnt mean they are perfect.

Somewhere along the line a generation got everything twisted and came to believe drug dealing is a glamorous growth industry instead of what it really is--a way for criminally oriented people to suck the lifeblood out of some of their neighbors and avoid working for what they want like the majority of decent people in various communities. Dealers are scum; today's equivalent to the tall-heeled pimps of the 1970s (other parasites in the community who have somehow been elevated to legendary status by schmucks in the media).

You can hate me now:

deff biggie... think about it it makes a lotta sense
biggie killed him

The WHITE man
Cuz they tryinna bring us down u see

Ronnin Ro is correct about what a drug dealer truly is. My question to Ronnin is why write a puff piece about JMJ, release it around his death and not provide any clues as to what happened?

Amistad is the same company that gives us the glorious depiction of black women in "Video Vixen." Be careful Ronnin, everyone is pushing some form of "poison" to get ahead. Do you feel yours is any better?

who cares

BTW Ronnin, your next book should be about the sambos from LA who hijacked what was once a creative artform and turned it into a reflection of their ignorant mindset.

Talk about scum, let's start with the entire Death Row Records, dead and alive. Those minstrels did more damage to the black male image than the kkk ever could.

Why stop there, let's proceed with the legions of con men at the millions more movement. If decent blck folks were doing what they should doing their children would't look to scum as you described them as role models. It's bigger than drugs Ronnin. If JMJ was dealing drugs so what. Does that mean he deserves any less justice?

I don't know who kiiled JMJ but until someone solves it no suspects or motives should be ruled out.

Queens Reigns Supreme has to be the book to read. Why else is everyone so shook up by what's in it?

When house niggers get to shaking it can only be a good thing.

Nimrod thanks for the reply. RAISING HELL's no puff piece. It's factual. I didn't slap articles together and rehash rumors. I spoke to the people I wrote about (with the exception of Jay and my sources for his part of the story are unimpeachable). I presented the truth, one reason Jay's foundation isn't beefing with me. As for Amistad's video vixen? I don't read that crap. And I definitely don't write it. Shrug. As for my reporting: it is some of the most influential (as evidenced by your use of the word 'minstrel," which I introduced to hiphop in my first book GANGSTA back in 96) and honest you'll ever see in your lifetime. Check out RAISING HELL (Amistad) and you might agree. As for Death Row and other themes you mentioned: my page at Amazon contains a few items you might also enjoy.

50 killed jay because he was bout 2 sign with shady and jay still had rights 2 tha material.. He would've had 2 split with jay and sha once he signed 2 shady so that's probably how it went.. True I don't know but who really does??

You are all wrong

Barbara Streisand killed him!

She was mad that her style isn't the thing anymore and these artists are making money in a Bush administration era and she can't stand it.

Barbara killed Jay, and she is aiming for 50 next

I am not going to speculate on who or why Jay was killed, but in 50cent's book he writes "i was suppose to meet up with Jay an hour before he got killed". He went on to say" it wasn't actually me that was going to meet up with him but Sha Money Xl was heading out there to meet up with him". It's in the book, I am not making this s*** up.

YALL ALL WRONG I KILLED HIM ITS ME: TANISHA RAYANNE HARRIS!!REMEMBER MA NAME, TURN ME IN!!!!

WHO CARES WHO DID?HES DEAD ALREADY!!READ THE BIBLE LOSERS,ITS CALLED "RESURRECTION"!!!!

I was the number one JONNY TUMOR!!!

correction ... I was not the number one JONNY TUMOR!!! ... sorry to disappoint....

word up - read some bibles kids ... best check which version you got ...
yeah, pleased to meet you hope you guess my name ... have some sympathy and some taste ... you have invoked the original soulrebel ... live by the sword, best be prepared to die by the sword ... do what you do to survive ... but no matter how much philanthropy you do, if there is blood on your hands, then you have already made your choice ... an eye for an eye. #1 Johnny Tumor - fearlessvampirekiller
