WHO DISSED WHO FIRST??? JAZ-O BREAKS DOWN WHAT LED TO THE SPLIT WITH JAY-Z

In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Ep. #204, legendary Brooklyn rapper Jaz-O sits down with Math Hoffa to tell the real story behind the split with him and Jay-Z. The "Originator" and producer of Jay-Z's early hit explains the business breakdown, revealing he walked away from a deal with Dame Dash because questions about accounting, auditing, and compensation were left unanswered, making him feel they were "insulting my intelligence." Jaz-O details the growing personal friction, including an incident where Jay-Z allegedly flaked on a cameo appearance for Jaz-O's video shoot, and hearing rumors that Jay-Z had publicly called him "lazy" on 106 & Park. The final straw came during a Source Magazine interview when the interviewer sought a comment from Jay-Z, who simply replied: "Just put my name," in quotes. This shocking lack of support and explanation left Jaz-O feeling disrespected and abandoned, finalizing the painful split that eventually led to their infamous diss records.
