"Im a Hustler accept that, no Correctional Facility can correct that"

Nobody said Jay got “Rich “ Selling drugs. But it’s pretty well known that Jay came into the game with $100K in drug money when he made Reasonable Doubt Respect Freeway Ricky and all but he was on the west coast… he don’t know what was going on in NY

He sounds like hes mad at anyone who doesn't just hand him money. He said he was mad at joe for not just giving him money for shirts and mad at hove for not pulling up to prison and not handing him money

JZ sold drugs,, that’s a FACT! He wasn’t on the same level as Ross🤷🏽‍♂️. Goofy debate.

If you not from Brooklyn, your facts on Sean Carter are weightless.

Ask cam and bleek they’ll tell u he’s been getting it. Jay z really had it on the streets

We have to remember there’s nothing wrong with not being a drug dealer . It seems like it’s an insult In rap 😂

Rick…this is weird, man. Ross stole from you. Going at his character made sense. This kinda lame…

Jay hasnt been a drug dealer in 35 years. Hes been a musician since. So of course hes doing music business business

The people from Jay-Z’s era that don’t like him now still say he was legit back in the day. NYC and LA is way different culturally. LA has gangs that run neighborhoods. In NYC turf is split street by street sometimes even building by building. The player hating is next level in NYC

Every situation not the same

Calvin klein has said Jay sold drugs. Him being rich off drugs? I think people dont realize how relative the word rich is. Back in the day if you were at kilo level you were moving weight crazy to most people even if it was 2 to 3 kilos a month. If you really from certain areas you know this but if you do 30 kilos and over a month you a serious kingpin. Rick ross level is bigger than 99.9999999% of drug dealers. Most dealers dont even make it to 4 kilos a month.

For the record Hov did have bread before rap and Him and Dame were still investing in the street during a good portion of the Rocafella 90 early 2k era.

He's never even been around Jay Z to know how he acts. Lol he said Drug dealers help people? How many people did Alpo Martnez help??? Lol , dude is just a hater, still mad Jay Z signed Ricky Rozay😅😅😅

His analogy on Jay Z off

Jay z was in fact a dealer. He made a lot of money. Everybody who grew up with him vouch . That don’t mean he was tough. Freeway Rick isn’t tough either.

Damn Jay snitched on Calvin 😂🤣

Listen Jay-Z was outside that's a heavy fact in NYC

Mannnn JZ is a billionaire . WTF are u talking about 😮😮😮😮😮

None of us would know how much money Jay made drug dealing because we weren't there. However when you listen to Reasonable Doubt, Vol 1 or American Gangster its clear Jay has alot of insight only somebody who knows what they're talking about would know or say. Rick Ross says Jay doesn't really carry himself like a dealer that made alot of money but thats the thing people don't know what those guys are like anyway because they're often very quiet and not outside where you can see them. When the street level dealers come in contact with a plug with enough money to really elevate them out of the streets its usually a person they never met or expected or never saw doing hand to hands with people. Its the quiet person who isn't issuing threats or being loud and when you meet them they don't even talk about hustling, they just talk about life experience and that determines whether or not they hand you a duffle bag when the conversation is over.

Another I needed money. He pulled out some money and gave it to me. And kept walking. Nothing like these very good and creative artist we see on tv

I know for a fact after doing 5 years Jay n his boys was running my city n I was beefing with them.

Jay spoke to the world in song lyrics that told his story. Even people from his past that has issues with him (because of their fallout) don't try to discredit his stories. For the world who was able to listen and hear him, it's a miracle for someone like me to see, because I saw some of it with my own eyes.

As A ex dealer life is crazy

Seriously, Jay-Z was not functionally illiterate like Rick Ross either.

Preach.

When he says drug dealer he's not talking about low level he's talking about people that moved WEIGHT

Drug dealing has no description.

How does North America, Tribe of GAD mean anything to you? What is your understanding of a Resort, Reservation, Casino in California?

I myself used to sell cocaine, and Rick Ross seems to me like a non drug dealer. It really ain’t no telling, unless you’re blatantly obvious with it.

"Somehow, someway, we gotta make it up out the hood someday"

Rick Ross doesn't know what went on with jay-z his giving his outside opinion most people know Jay -z story he is a street dude...but some people take his songs literally..he definitely made money on the street and then transition to rap ...Rick Ross money no but enough to put out his own stuff and be a part owner of his own work... he's definitely a hustler no doubt about that

Jay Z got a federal informant working for his label.

Hard to say that I'm a former drug dealer and most might know that now. Was I anywhere near as successful as Rick ross hell no but I did my thing.

He was a hustler not a gangster which was very smart of him...

Jay x was definitely what he says. Too many people vouched for him

And there was a real 50 cent people pay homage to gangsters.

Jay definitely had back in the day. I used to see him all the time in that Lexus GS

Kevin chiles? 2:53

Everybody forgotting he was literally a police officer?

emory would say different😂

What’s the honor in being a drug dealer to get rich … look at him now and look at the real Ross now and he was the big time drug dealer

He definitely mad at anyone who didn’t come drop a bag on him right out of prison. He assumed he was gonna be welcomed back into the world like the legend he is, but his legend had long since subsided by the time he got out.

15 years ago it was enlightening, now he just hating.😂

Sounding more and more like dame really that dude

Translation: I'm washed up Joe, can you give me some money.

Z is a gangster of music contracts and men's jockeys

He just had a plug that was the police

In an interview with David Letterman Jay said that when he started selling crack he was making 4 grand a day. If thats not rich then i don’t know what is

That’s not the mindset of a drug dealer you don’t help potential competitors anybody you build up will either out due you or get enough money to cut out the middleman which is what Rick was .

Stop hating sir cause it's dudes that made more money than you, ross n you're the furthest from gangsta just the area he grew up in

Klein said he took the charge so Jay could walk! How about interviewing Klein and Dehaven! People that were really there!

What is a gangster? Not joking I think everyone’s perception is different

Eazy e had his raps written for him even said it on record ice cube writes the raps that I sound

Look music and drugs are to different games which means there are different rules ijs 🤷🏾‍♂️

Jay said he was a hustler..I mean he has like 13 albums saying that but what do I know

0:54 Freeway gotta stop man

“Jay-Z didnt ruin as many lives as I did”

No one says Jay Z got rich selling drugs. He funded his record label with drug money. Quit, went legal, became a billionaire. He doesn’t owe you.

He's forgetting Jay Z has two billionaires Rihanna and Kanye (was). I'm sure he helped them as much as they helped him. I'm sure some drug dealers are like everyone was around for the good times, but go to jail and you find out real friends are few and far between.

Jay-Z never said he was gangster. He said he was hustler and freeway can’t say all billion former drug dealers act the same way or think the same way.

Much respect to Freeway Rick however, his information is all wrong, especially with the situation with Klein and Hov. Listen to Kliens interview and he’ll set the record straight.

Nobody but some Herb who watches JRe thought jay z got rich selling drugs. We ain’t stupid he’s a multi millionaire Or even a billionaire, we all know he made it in the entertainment industry! I can’t believe they waste time on a podcast like this talking about rappers in entertainment

His problem is he’s expecting a hand out based on WHAT he did back in the day, people only care about what you’re doing now,… he needs to be blessed that he made it through what he’s been through, better go get a job.

Jay Z is a Hustler

Jay z never said he was a gangster.. drug dealer yes.. gangster nah..

I didn't know he had to be a gangsta who made that a rule?

Jay is a Hustler NOT a Gangster...but then again so was Freeway Ricky Ross...😢😂😂

Jay z made money with Rick Ross the rapper and not Rick Ross the dealer. And that’s why I think he has bad words for him. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Truths the Truth! Lol

They may have sold small amounts to few people but nothing serious.

I really don't Think that Everybody Thinks that he got rich off Drugs everyone Thinks that there the WISE OWL I thought OG'S mind there Business Anyway

Jay-z never said he was a Gangster, Ross sounding like he hating on Jay Why would you worry about how another man made his money. Then even with all the drugs Ross sold and money he made it's still not more than what Jay has today. Ross don't even have half of the money he made from selling drugs that he did a 20 years bid for. He sounds bitter that he had to start over and living off past Drug stories while his old life of riches is being lived by rappers. If Jay-z had no money Ross would not even be mentioning Jay name. Jealousy is Real. SMH

I ain’t that young I know what’s going on lol

If Diddy and Drake had a baby it would be Jay Z 😂

Two experiences with successful drug dealers. One I kept asking about his expensive leather coat. I was making offers and trades … he took it off and gave it to me. That was the first time I ever talked to him and haven’t talked to him again

I always knew Rick Ross as a rapper 😂😂 never Hurd of this guy untill the tv show that took his story was on🤷🏽‍♂️ should of came at Rick Ross like a real one instead of trying to sue he would of put him on like he does everbody els 😂😂🤦🏾‍♂️

Ross Pablo can say you was a small fry like so many ninjas sold drugs it’s not far fetched that a NYC ninja got crazy money in the 80s

This dude fells like somebody owes him something

This is the exact part that should have been edited out. Killed his credibility for no reason. Now we have trolls born in 09 making clips like this.

Hes not gangster . Thats true never was is that a bad thing?

Wack explanation. Jay looked out and helped his people.

Ross from Cali ..what he know about Brooklyn... If you was around in them late 80s and early 90s u know where Hov was at.. BK to NJ to MD... Please do y'all homework before just coming on these podcast throwing anything against the wall.... He had money way before Dame came around.

I believe about 40% what this dude says😅

He sounds like he was doing his shit also talking out his ass

Jayz must’ve walked pass Rick and ain’t speak or sum 🥴

Wow so many of yall believe nonsense. Jay not a drug dealer, never was but unless he admits it yall will never believe it. Sad you believe marketing and not facts

This man was completely wrong for the entirety of this video. This is why you shouldn’t speak on what you don’t know because now I’m taking any word he speaks on in any interview with a grain of salt

1 percent of Ross have the success in the game as He had HOV was a strest hustler at best like most emcess they exaggerate their involvement with that business especially our Era in NYC our ear meaning people coming up in the 80's and 90's in the beautiful culture of Hip Hop and rap music we invented.

Why Rick talking about Jay Z anyway? Pople believe nonsense and whats pushed, they will never believe the truth. Whats that old saying - a lie repeated enough becomes fact

None of what Rick is saying makes any sense. Jay got rich off RAP but he came in the rap game WITH some street money. 🤦‍♂ Besides, what does any of Jay stuff have to do with Freeway Ricky? He jus sounds like he's hating right here, but why? 🤣🤣🤣

He’s a real man for doing his time but sorry you don’t know anything about the drug game in nyc you had to be there plus in the fed you didn’t take to a lot of nyc drugs dealers because ppl at with ppl from the same states

Nobody thats not in a gang is a "gang"ster. Gangster = individuals in a gang that commit illegal activities

Hov been a snitch. Prolly set him up. Calvin is a stand up guy.

Waiting to get my money right? Still? You been out a while g

Gen z think jay n eminem is gangsters 😆

Bruh you worked for the government. What are we talking about?

Ross always saying funny shxt Hov quit rap to sell crack in Baltimore till Dame convinced him to come back to rap smh more like friend of my enemy is not my friend i understand

He's being bitter. Do you know how many drug dealers never helped their counterparts? Why would Jay-z, NY based, go out to the West Coast, to help this guy who he doesn't know get back on his feet?

How do you know what he did cuz he buy from you and nobody the same
