On Saturday, Jay Z performed the first of two nights of his B-sides shows exclusively for Tidal subscribers. He performed the classics, reunited with Beanie Sigel and the rest of Roc-a-Fella Records' State Property, and brought out Jay Electronica and Jeezy. But in case the corporate sponsorship — though it is Jay Z's own corporation, to be fair — was lost on anyone in the crowd, Hov also did a rare freestyle in which he attempted to shame us all for glamorizing Apple, YouTube, and Spotify while giving Tidal the cold shoulder. Here's a full transcript of the freestyle: And I don’t need no middle man to talk to my niggas I understand if you don’t understand, I figure I’m Jigga That’s where we differ I take what’s mine, you accept what they give ya, I get ya I don’t take no checks, I take...

Philadelphia — Jay-z once bragged in song that he beat his assault charges "like Rocky." Well, it's been more than a decade since, and Hov — the multiplatinum mogul who remains atop music's food chain — has done more than simply beat the charge.
On Monday morning (May 14), rap's most magnetic man drew a crowd of reporters and media types to the very steps that the fictional boxer Rocky has made famous. Standing triumphantly at the peak of the staircase of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Hov and Philly Mayor Michael Nutter announced yet another prolific Jay-venture: Budweiser Made in America, a two-day music festival in Philadelphia, this Labor Day weekend.

Roc-a-Fella Records was once one of the most storied labels and rap crews in the business. Under the guidance of Jay-z, Damon Dash and Kareem "Burke" Biggs, artists like Kanye West, Beanie Sigel, Cam'ron, Memphis Bleek and Freeway were able to carve out careers for themselves that would carry on even after the label disbanded.
On Wednesday's "RapFix Live" with host Sway, Free discussed the last days of the Roc, the separation that existed between the record label's subdivisions and how he was able to bounce back.

Jay-z's former protégé is facing up to three years in prison.

Things aren't looking too good for Beanie Sigel. The Mc's lawyer Fortunato Perri Jr. confirmed to MTV News on Wednesday (August 10) that the former Jay-z rap protégé is now facing up to three years in prison after he admitted in federal court on Tuesday that he didn't file or pay taxes between 2003 and 2005.
U.S. prosecutors estimate that the rapper owes approximately $350,000 on $1 million of unreported income; Beans subsequently pleaded guilty to three counts of failure to file his federal income tax returns. Beans will be sentenced on November 18, when he could get as much as three years' prison time.
His attorney, however, doesn't believe that the government's calculations are entirely accurate. "We intend to raise issues at the sentencing hearing which we believe will change those loss figures," Perri Jr.

As far as rap crews go, Philadelphia's State Property were emerging as one of hip-hop's most promising collectives until they were torn apart by business tiffs and legal drama.
Signed to Roc-a-Fella Records, State Property and group leader Beanie Sigel lost steam after label co-CEOs Jay-z and Damon Dash parted ways and Beans went on to serve a 10-month stint in prison that ended in 2005. But this past weekend, Sp reunited onstage in Atlantic City, New Jersey, a show that Beanie said brought tears to his eyes.
"The whole State Property was there, everybody: Chris, Neef, Oschino, Sparks, Freeway, Peedi Crack and me, all seven of us. That was love," Sigel said during his visit to "RapFix Live" on Wednesday.

Not only was Beans left in limbo, the Philadelphia Mc was in the midst of legal troubles at the time. Upon his release from prison in 2005, Sigel secured a deal with 50 Cent's G-Unit Records. And according to Beans, all he needed was a release from his Def Jam contract from Jay-z, who happened to be the label president at that time.

Sig dropped those same lines during the Powerhouse Concert last Friday in Philadelphia when he came out as Jadakiss' guest. The words were obviously a response to Jay's lines on "What We Talkin' About" off of The Blueprint 3.

Dash heads second 'State'
Damon Dash is directing Lions Gate Entertainment's State Property II, a sequel to the 2002 feature, State Property, which he produced. The screenplay by Adam Moreno centers on three gangsters fighting to control the streets of Philadelphia. Beanie Sigel is reprising his State Property role as Beans, an imprisoned drug lord, while Dash will play Dame, a Harlem-born hustler with deep pockets and strong allies. The cast also includes Victor Santiago as Loco, a flashy Miami playboy soon to be released from prison. Dash is producing, with Beth Melillo serving as co-producer. Production has begun in New York for what Lions Gate is eyeing as a 2005 release. Like Dash's 2003 film Death of a Dynasty, State Property will include cameos from a number of celebrities.
