Recently Jay called in to Entertainment Weekly to discuss Little Brother Kanye and his relationship to 50 Cent. Here's what he had to say:
On Big Brother Track:
"I think it's a fair portrayal from a little brother's perspective," Jay said. "You know, you've got your big brother and you want to go out with him, he's like, 'Nah, get back in the house!' Things like that, until you come of age. At Roc-A-Fella, we've always lived by tough love. Everyone knows that. It's nothing given. Everyone has to work for theirs, and that's how you make strong individuals, by not carrying them. That's how you make a Kanye West. You make him fight for his position
On the "I Get Money" remix:
EW: I just heard your verse on 50's ''I Get Money'' remix last night. How did that come together?
"I just wanted to show that we're not enemies. It's a great story for this, you're the first person to ask, so you got great timing! [50 Cent] called me to ask for the remix, and I told him he couldn't put the remix out until the first week came. I didn't want it to affect any type of numbers. [Laughs] So as you see, it came out the 17th, when the Soundscan cycle is finished. So just to show, I'm still competing! We're not enemies, we're just competing."
Now that's a great buisnessman I must say you have come a long way from those pissy pew hallways Jay!
