J-Hood Exits D-Block Partnership

by REIGN

THURSDAY AUGUST 30, 2007

In an online statement, J-Hood explains why he left the label. He had this to say. “Around 3 1/2 weeks ago I asked to be released from the label I’ve been signed to. After that occurrence all legal procedures have been properly handled in accordance. Basically there’s an instance in which we all run out of patience and take upon action to better our situation. I think I’ve been loyal since the beginning to the label and the individuals that run it. I have devoted six years of my life to making our movement prosper with no realistic reward or success, knowing my worth and what I’m capable of. If for any reason I happen to fail to accomplish what I intend to which is be successful, I feel more comfortable knowing it will be from a decision I made, and not one that was made by the next man”

The 22-year-old rapper also dispelled rumors that his D-Block chain was taken away after he announced his departure from the label.

“The chain that supposedly was taken away from me is and has been in my possession since it was purchased, but I refuse to wear it because I have mentally moved on, meaning I’d rather have no type of affiliation with D-Block at all. I’m past that point in my life I have a whole new focus, which is concentrating on making my new movement as strong and successful as possible.

“And for the record, the chain was not given to me by the label but instead purchased by me, so picture me letting someone take it away from me. To put everything in perspective, I will be releasing multiple freestyles and songs on various mixtapes under my own company.

“So now that I have clarified the situation. I will give you a glimpse of what’s to come. I will be signed to my own label ODG Ent. (On Da Grind) as of next week. Last but not least, you can log on to YouTube.com to see the five-minute video interview of me showing the chain and actual release form. Say goodbye to D-Block and say hello to ODG!”

JHOOD IS WACK....6 YEARS AND THE LOX PLAYED HIM LIKE A PUNK...I LOVE D-BLOCK BUT I WOULD HAVE NEVER PICKED UP A J HOOD ALBUM. HE PLAYED OUT BACK IN LATE 2001..JUST CAUSE HE WAS WITH THE LOX NIGGAS SAID HE WAS THE SHIT....MAN, I WAS ALWAYS BEING REAL WHEN I SAID HE WOULD NEVER MAKE IT BIG. ANOTHER CAREER BITES THE DUST!!!!

I LOVE D-BLOCK..TRUE LEGENDS...BUT THEM NIGGAS HAVE NO SENSE WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUSINESS SIDE OF RAP.
SOME OF THERE MOVES HAVE BEEN LAUGHABLE..TOO MANY R&B REMIX'S AND NOT ENOUGH ALBUMS BEING PRODUCED. PUFF RAPED THEM AND JIMMY RAPED THEM, I HEAR THAT THEY WILL SIGN WITH DEF JAM...THAT COULD WORK, WITH JAY THERE TO GUIDE THEM. ONE THING 50 CENT HAS OVER THEM AND ALOT OF ARTIST'S IS HIS BUSINESS SENSE TO MAKE MONEY. THE LOX ARE BROKE COMPARED TO G-UNIT AND THERE FIRST ALBUM CAME OUT IN 1997, THE UNIT CAME OUT IN 2003....IT AIN'T EVEN HALF A DECADE....JADA, SHEEK & STYLES SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

The funny thing about this is that on monday 50cent did an interview and said he had a meeting with j-hood and gave him some advice I wonder if that was the advice, but he also said that he didnt have beef with d-block. stay tuned 50 name will pop up some where he always make sure it does

lol niggas sayin fifty gon sign, could you imagines him saying ggggg-unit lol, or better yet imagine sheek sayin it lol.
///damn, he been in the game since he was 16, and thats why the label probably aint try to give him no money, cause he was still a kid. he is mad nice though. but the way things are going with talib only sellin 60,000, i doubt that jhood will do any better than that even with his lyrical skill, unless he succumb to the sell out side and start makin club bangers wit no meaning.

yeh sign with young money not gunit. or better yet sell out and go sign straight onto a major distribution label. dont send him over to black wall. gunit wouldnt do any better with him. i believe record companys should start of with very few artists and focus on one or two projects. only other way u can deal with a heep of artists if ur devoted to ur job

Nah, thats good that he got out. Shit I've been listening to him for the whole 6 years he was on D-Block, waiting for him to drop his album TALES FROM THE HOOD....waiting...waiting....waiting....waiting....u know. Shit, this guys got mad talent. Sick with it...I can remember a freestyle he did over a MURPHY LEE beat....HOOD FUCKING MURDERED IT. AND I WAS LIKE DAMN, when the fuck is this album gonna drop. D-Block needed to get there shit straight and I doubt ne of them will beef with Jae. If any of them do it would probably be Sheek and Jae would murder that bitch! Yo J-Hood, good looks, fuck it, if u got to sign to G Unit. Do it. U need that 50 paper son. But u need 2 get ur album out already.

"Now where the drips gon b/I don't need no silence on this heat./
All I need is a Mack and a Trey pound/Ya'll straight clowns/ dem hollows will make u lay down/ AND i'm a stick em/(2x)

Where da nigga at?/all u gotta do is point em out./ I'm tappin his pockets and I dare him to run his mouth./
Where his chain at?/Watchin his wrist wrap/Shuldn't cop shines if u ain't tryin to get yapped/
Nigga I ain't playin/put it all in the bag/ur rings,and ur ear rings and the keys 2 ya jag/
this a muthafuckin hold up/u was shooked when we rolled up/ U knew I was coming, ur ass wouldn't even shown up/
Nigga I'm on the grind/doin what i gotta do/Let the girls mine me, while we rob u/ All u gotta do is front/Then I'm runnin' da bangin'/Then I'm skippin 2 da block where I'm usually slangin/
Nigga I'm on fire/Got the young niggas thirsty/ Dis need to b the remix/Holla at me Murphy/
Don't move/I ain't cool/ I'm packin the tools/so don't ever ever come around a nigga wit no jewles /cz Iam take em!

Listen this rit here is Ty A.K.A. Lyrics and ima give u clowns sum real talk! I'm sick of bein disapointed in da behaviors of sum of da rap game's best artists cuz mother fuckers cnt stay real. j hood is sick lyrically! He murders beats! But man I aint feelin him dissin g-unit den becommin budy budy wit 50 cuz he aint no longer wit d-block. Dat shit got da word FAKE all over it! Either dis nigka wuz dissin 50 nd dem jus 2 fit in wit d-block...therefor he wuz bein fake...or right now he's friends wit 50 to git back at d-block or because 50 will put him in da spotlight...which again spells FAKE! Also how he gon go nd make a song dissin da shit outta d-block wen dat wuz his nigkas since day 1? Styles admitted on youtube dat hood asked 2 be released and styles said no prob...so wat da fuck he bitchin bout?.....wat sheek said? grow up! hood cnt blame others cuz his ass wuznt gittin no where....come on now! And Mr. 50...let me jus say..ppl call u 1 of the games most intelligent artists...watch out wit dis nigka j hood...........<TyAsia~~~~~Lyrically Known~~~~~HoodzBond!>
