Where was Jay-Z? That's my question. Out of all the performers on the VH1 Hip-Hop Honors show, Jay-Z should have been there. I mean, Big Daddy Kane was his first manager and The Notorious B.I.G. was his boy. This nigga ain't show up for neither one of them.
// addition at 8:30am
Sure, he may have been busy, but I would think paying tribute to the man you quote every song would be important. I mean, they performed 'A DREAM' from Jay-Z's The Gift & The Curse. Shouldn't he have been there to do all that see I said, he I said bullshit?
Nas wasn't at the show but he recorded a little something for him. Told a lil story about how him and BIG was working on a remix. That was cool. Snoop said some kind words about him. Even Ice-T said something. But out of all the rappers with something to say about B.I.G., it should have been Jay.
What could have been more important that paying tribute to a person he claims he got so much love for? Wasn't this the same guy who he was on the phone with everyday? Overseeing Memphis Bleek studio sessions ain't mportant. Signing more Young Jeezy's is not that important.
Face it. Jigga has a habit of turning his back on people. Ask Jaz-O. Ask Ski. Ask Primo.
Let's ask Beans.
XXL: Did you ever speak to Jay after the whole separation?
Beans: Nah, the last conversation that I had with Jay was when I got sentenced. It was real brief." - XXL Magazine, November 2005
No letter for Beans? No phone call to Beans?
How does this negro sleep at night?
that is the stupidiest shit i have ever heard people in business have other engagements that they have to attend the man is far from shady dick head. oh yea ericcire.com for the new r&b kid
he retired? would he still do shows? i dunno.
you're right tho, jeezy really isnt that good, and Jim Jones is the worst rapper in DipSet.
yo why u gotta hate on jiggaman? maybe he had a scheduling conflict man, shit plus you know how many tribute shows they have had and will have in the future for those motherfuckers? a shitload, one dont mean that much
damn yall niggas is ignorant as fuck gotta think about shit first
Naw man I think jay is jealous and was mad cuz he aint honored.
But he should have been there after all Jay bit everything Biggie ever wrote! If it wasn't for biggies rhymes Jay would have nuffin' and that's my word!
All the haters out there on J precious time piece stop riding so the clock can keep moving. I agree with dude up top mayb he had other priorities. He didn't get nominated cause it's not his time yet. Shit that nig got bout 10 more years. Believe me he will go down as the best rapper alive. Everybody bite off everybody beats & songs that's what make hiphop so Sweet!
DUDES is dumb. i mean u tellin' me that everything jay ever said was bitten? i mean he'd say a biggie line once in a while, maybe even a couple of times but that don't mean nothing, he's only biggin' up his boy.
Y'ALL DUDES ARE IGNORANT
AND THATS "MY WORD"!!
are you kidding me? after all the benifits and shit jay does your gonna say was jealous? YOUR WORD IS RETARDED ma fucka! for some reason i think his life is a little more busy than the average cat and you can't hate on the man just because he missed one show! stupid ass people!
Yeah right, Jay-Z was to busy, just like he was to busy for 10 months to write Beans when he was locked up... I got to question the guys actions. Busy yeah right, scheduling conflict, yeah right (LMAO).
first off...that was the best hip hop show I've seen on T.V. in a very long time. Jay-Z should have been in attendence. He didn't have to rap, but he should have been there.
Why Niggaz Hating Respect Jay-Z You Niggaz are Dumb Look what jay has done and doing for Hip hop. Hes a busy man. You Know that. Thats why your Crying in his absence.
I guess y'all got Jigga's schedule, huh? Callin him shady for not being there when you aint got a fucking clue where dat nigga was and what da fuck he was doing. You niggas are all full of shit.
- "I think Nas was right. Dude is shady."
I think you guys are pretty stupid and filled to the brim with bullshit.
All you Jay-Z haters can keep saying stupid shit like he bit BIG's rhymes, it only proves how limited your understanding of hiphop really is.

Jigga is too damn big headed – maybe since he has all of these d*ck-riding fans. But Nas can be shady too when he gets ready, so his opinion doesn’t count.
Ya'll are real stupid! How about, it wasn't about Jay??? Why have another rapper steal light from BIG? He could have been there for Kane but maybe they never asked him??? anybody think about that one? Stupid fucks!
Give me a break with this story about jigga not being there too support BIG yall are really digging STOP THE HATE!!!!!!
JAY Z IS THE BITCH ASS NIGGA THAT I KNEW HE WAS. THE NIGGA GLAD BIGGIE IS DEAD. BIGGIE DEATH WAS HIS BIRTH. ALL JAY SCREAMED WAS BIGGIE WAS HIS MAN AND MOST OF ALL FRIEND. JAY IS ON SOME FAKE ASS SHIT. THE NIGGA FEELS HE IS BIGGER THAN LIFE NOW. THE NIGGA USED EVERYBODY TO GET WHERE HE'S AT RIGHT NOW. THE TRIBUTE REALLY SHOWED WHAT JAY WAS ABOUT. I DO NOT GIVE A FUCK WHAT YOU GOT GOING ON, THE NIGGA KNEW A YEAR IN ADVANCE THE SHOW WAS GOING DOWN AND THE NIGGA STILL DID NOT SHOW.
NAS SAID IT BEST IN ETHER!!!!!!!
"YOU GOT THE NERVE TO SAY YOU BETTER THAN BIG"!!!!!!
NAS KNEW ALL ALONG ABOUT THE BITCH ASS NIGGA.
JAY REALLY FUCKED UP ON THIS ONE. THE NIGGA SHOWED UP AT EVERY OTHER AWARDS SHOW AND MANY AFTER PARTIES BUT THE NIGGA COULD NOT SHOW UP FOR HIS SO-CALLED FRIEND BIGGIE!!!
EVERYBODY SCREAMING SUGE KILLED BIGGIE BUT HONESTLY ALOT OTHER NIGGAZ HAD ALOT TO GAIN FROM BIGGIE'S DEATH. ALL BIGGIE ASSOCIATES SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. NEW YORK NIGGAZ GRIMEY AS FUCK.
The fact that you girls are even commenting on this so passionately is wack. Some people have made valid points but to even talk about this there is just really feminine.
Jay wasn't there....i was mad too, but damn it's not like he was obligated to go..cuz at the end of the day he a grown ass man, yea biggie is his boy, yea he dead maybe jay couldn't take seeing all that tribute shit when he remembers the times when they were together instead of watching clips of his life. Just my opinion. Fuck it....where was the Pac tribute????????
Off that nigga dick... so much of y'all on ole' boy dick that it's hard for him to even lift it to piss, understand the nigga presence was not needed. Y'all know how many of them fucking shows they throw on the air each year? He'll be at the next one. You haters obviously missed him. Y'all nigs need to cut the hating and start motivatin', give props to the best rapper alive fags!!
Word is bond nigga don't ever come out yo neck taking about NY niggas Child, you ain't ready to meet yo God yet... pussy
East Coast Niggas still runnin' this shit!!!
I find that the article writer as well as some of the posts in this blog are terrible. Men cant be men no more! I see it now! you have other men whining about what another Man is doing on his own time. Get a life brotha. 2ndly at least the article writer could have read a little more about Jay-sZ's relationship with Beans as Beans just said in today's article that there is no animosity or beef or hard feelings. So you come out looking bad my friend. TO the black men that posted in this thread. Take a look at yourselves before you start dissing another brotha for what he does in his spare time. I know for fact that you will feel some way if that was flipped on you.
u guys dont know that guy oversees a dynasty so missing a show out of many shouldnt be a big issue,crying about it show u guys have bagged PHDs.
i was just upset that EVE didnt get to perform b/c missy's injury
you im sure i posted an it never came up, u guys serious?
at all of jay-zs shows he pays respect to the dead like Aaliyah, Tupac, Jam master jay and Biggie Smalls.
he takes time out to play one of their songs.
he ususally makes the crowd sing along to mo mooney mo probelms.
well he did this when came to the UK for the UMF last year and i saw him doing the same thing on fade to black.
some poxy vh1 hip hop honors is nothing.
nelly paying homage to ll cool j?? who cares, jay-z is the man.
this is what media does to ya, makes up some bullsh!t. and makes u believe in it.
and then u get all emotional.
plus i hate posting in here late coz dont nobody read this.
Man , where was 50 cent.That whack ass nigga didnt show up. Jam master J was his fukin mentor. Shady ass nigga. Icant belive eminem wasnt there, where the fuck was dr. dre., Damn, give his respects to the o.g.s
Yall sound real stupid. who cares if somebody wasnt there. yall taking away from the legends that were there by putting all your thoughts and energy in who wasnt there.
"I see I said JEALOUSY I said, Got the hold industry mad at me I said, Then B.I. (B. mouthafuckin I) said, Hov remind yourself nobody built like you, you designed ya self" -Jay-Z what part of that did B.I.G. say?
GEt of Jay-Z dick man I am sure he already got enough nut hear and critics down there. dont need broke internet geeks.
why is it that i read something on this people r makin men into gods. we don't know why jay didn't show up to the show or at least do a little video discribin encounters with big and kane. wat i am not goin to do is make excuses for him thats somethin important to the fans if he missed he has to deal wit it. so if u don't have any facts of why he didn't attend don't make up things because u a fan and u don't want ur favorite artist to look bad. the same goes for those who tryin to make the man look bad wait to some facts come before u jump to conclusions. anyway the show was good i like the fact that we r givin credit to people who deserve it.
peace
Im sorry but Jay-Z was in London during the show. Why yall mad about him not being there. Hes paid tribute to BIG more than anyone. Jay-Z's got nine albums, hes probably quoted BIG on a couple songs only.
YALL BE GETTIN A LITTLE TOO EMOTIONAL ON HERE. PUSSY ASS NIGGAS. WHERE YA NUTS AT. SOUND LIKE A BUNCH OF GROUPIE ASS BITCHES
was jay-z even invited to perform / contribute?
Since when is VH1 a hiphop station? before they said they would never play rap music now there giving out honors cause hip hop is profitable?! WTF.. give me a break. who gives VH1 the right to honor hip hop legends. this is the same station that aired black in the 80's and race-o-rama about "TV's Illest Minority Moments" so before you knock jay for not being there examine why is VH1 all of a sudden intrested in hiphop $$$

i agree w/ the original
question by irreverent
. where was jay? i
wondered the same exact
thing when they performed
the song "it was all a
dream" of off jay-z's own
album. he claim he loved
BIG so much he should've
been there to show respect
in front of BIG's mother
& children bottom line.
& thats not hatin either
Irreverent, who the fuck do u think u are? Your claiming Jay-Z isnt one of the greatest ever because he missed a tv show. what do u actually know about his personal relationships?
u said he has a habit of turning his
back on people like jaz-o & ski, but
dont forget about Sauce Money & Dame
Dash. I guess jay-z's just a selfish
grimy nigga. Makes him a shrewd
business man like Lyor Cohen, but I
would neva trust jay in a business
dealing or partnership. & 2 me its
fucked up when u dont write your so
called homie when he is locked up. its
maad disrespectful & disloyal.
listen fake ass ice cube, i dont give a fuck if jay z is the greatest human being on earth, it still dont excuse the fact he showed public disregard by not in some form making his presence known at the hip hop honors. so your ridiculous, jay just a man like u r. take his wiener out of your mouth. u sound like a real cheerleader.
listen fake ass bon'hed live in bk, fuck u. u probly fuckin with 50 and g unit.
im the real bon'hed in bk. who the other guy usin this name. I woudnt talk shit about Jay-Z, im from brooklyn. U already heard he was in London during the vh1 show.
vh1 putting on some 3rd rate award show? great concept...but not a major event...Jay dont need to be on no goddamn vh1...but if he extended himself to appear it would give credability to what they're trying to accomplish over there....they shoulda sent Melle Mel over to DJ offices to snatch him up...hahaha
the reason u didnt see jay-z at the awards is the same reason u dont see jay-z at say the source awards or the vibe awards or fifty cent at or eminem at any of these awards shows.thety are bigger artists and simply dont consider this important enuff to them.simple and short no explanations neccacary.if u look at all the artists there with the exeption of say nelly or ludacriss,all the other artists were way past their midnight .also considerinmg jays status as the top dog what makes u think he would wanna be in a room full of haters like say freddy foxx or fat joe and all the other unsuccesfull niggas who love to hate?u say he turned hisback on big.jay has a charity in bigsd name for big,jay stated brooklyn mint,bigs clothing line and his kids eat of that,jay started the wallace foundation for big,features biigies son in the rocawear ads and u know that kid is getting paid for it,what more can hov do for biggie?didnt he appear on hot 97 for biggies tribute onmarch tenth?the simple reason u will never ever see jay at an ethnic awards show like the hip hop honours is the sole reason that he too big for that.simple and short.same reason he wasnt there last year and wont be there next year.hell jay only started going to the grammies just last year so what makes u think he would go for hip hop honours just cos they talk about biggie? and whats all this talk about jay turning his back on primo?primo aint jays producer.he bought beats of primo and then got his own producers (just blaze kanye bink)just like nas went and got salaam remi and les,jaz o turned his back on hov not the other way round and ski is an executive at rocafella so what u yapping about?beanie siegel was in prison so what u mean hov turn his back on him?that nigga was stupid for shooting at ppl when he knows jay got money invested in him.yall need to let jay breathe,he is bigger than hip hop.
Jay-Z is nice and all that stuff but dam! C'mon man he wasn't there for last years show and he wasn't there for this one! Now you tell me if this dude is not acting stuck up! Everybody was there! From Fat Joe to Kanye.....Like he can't just show some resepct to those who opened the doors for him! Especially for Kane since he really did introduce Jay-Z to the world! I'm not hating i'm just speaking the truth! And for B.I.G. to I mean dam as much as he quotes him he should've @ least been there to perform one of his songs in his memory! Get that paper Jigga but also show some resepct to those who deserve it!
Ice Cube, who the fuck do u think u are? Obviously not a person that can read. If you READ the fucking blog, I never said "Jay-Z isnt one of the greatest ever." I never brought up the niggas mic skills. Learn to READ you fucking idiot.
"Males shouldn't be jealous that's a female trait"
Stop hatin! Dude has paid tribute to BIG more than anyone else so get the fuck outta here
If you listen to Nas's CD God's Son you'll here Nas mention the same thing on one of his songs. It talks about how him and BIG go back and how Jay-Z turned his back. Even Big Daddy Kane said it in an interview. Just look what he did to Dame over stupid stuff. Since he got all that money and started dating Beyonce he changed. He ain't the same hustla that always showed his boys love. Power has went to his head.
Yo get off Jigga Dic* There will be plenty more hip hop shows.. Every Rapper should had been there to pay their respect not just J. why do yall care s omuch about J, get off his dick. Dam! Was Az there, method man, master p, dr. dre, faboolous, foxy brown, 50 cent, lox, too short, funk master flex, Mase mr. c, DMC, fat boys, kool mo d, naughty by nature, mad people wasn't there, get of Jigga dick. thats all this site do just like radio stations hot 97 or power 105.1 use J name to sell their product yall need to cut him another check... The show was real wack anyay i love old school rap but Nelly wack as performance, and also wacthing Kangay west do a biggie song was wack. they should have had people more close to them rappers pay tribute and do the songs not just some one looking to get attention VH1 drop the ball. salt n pepper, and big daddy kane was the best everyone else was wack. And Biggie my favorite artist but i was so mad at who they had doing his songs, beside lil cease they could had use Nas, or mase or sheek or jada kiss to do Biggies songs.
Actually Young Jersey you contradicted yourself.
"Every Rapper should had been there to pay their respect not just J."
"they should have had people more close to them rappers pay tribute"
Which is exactly what I'm talking about. Thanks for proving my point loser.
YOU DUMB PRICK. Jay-Z has done his own Biggie Tribute at every concert since the nigga died. He ain't gotta fukking go. And, Jay has a career that's over 10 hours long, and he hasn't even bit a whole 10 minutes worth of lyrics. I hate people. This is why I keep to myself. Everybody is stupid nowadays.
SOHH Irreverent, you are doing the work of the devil, divide and conquer. It's bad enough Jealousley is number one killer amonst black folks, so why add fuel to the fire, maybe Jay had important things going on, he is the president of Def Jam and he has a lot on his plate. Do what you got to do.
PEACE
Jigga the Camel Man is so busy sniff BeYAWNcey's crack he's lost all focus. Signing any and everything that resembles BeYAWNcey. T-Error for example. Wack job.
Nelly held it down. He killed LL Cool J. Ciara Held it down. Who needs Camel and bouncy? They are both so tired and overrated. The show went on and didn't stop to ask, where is camel face...!
I completely agree with wondering where da hell was Jay-Z...just as a matta of respect 4 biggie.. if it wasnt 4 biggie Jay wouldnt be Jay-Hova da God ..so he needs to give alot more respect where its due!!
