  • Is he joking!? He had the hook before he even came to the label!? LOL That hook is a sample from a Rick James song... and the beat is from the neptunes so what the fuck did this guy do?

  • Got fucked for my publishing, but it's cool big homie! Leave & learn.

  • I SEE THIS NIGGA AINT IN THE STUDIO ANYMORE. C'MON SON!

  • everyone always says hov stole this and that but then they say hes been wack ever since reasonable doubt or thats when he was at his best so it doesnt matter

  • isnt that baby boi lol

  • did he seriously do a video using a fake studio photo as a backdrop? wow...

  • jay cut off x from def jam Cause jay was coming back so cause x was gonna competitions on sales would be a problem SO jay snaked x

  • People want to talk bad about Jay-z all of a sudden? Being on a song with Jay-z is worth money man.. It's the best free publishin for an artist. Now he's sneaky? Don't know how to come up with a hype so they gon blow wind on high hills.. hungry gossip bitches

  • These people make money??? I guess thats why music sucks these days....bring back the 80's

  • who cares....that chain gang album was that crack though

  • I like his responses to the questions asked of him. He basically states that he didn't have his business straight and JAY-Z took advantage of that particular situation. He also states that he has publishing company up and running so he now he knows what to expect in the future.

  • thats true JAY AND DIDDY ARE BOTH DIRTY FILTYH SCHEMIN OREOS , they've got no reason to be on top, there extremley over rated , but they've got good marketing skills (aka brainwashin) they can make people think their the best when their not. Puffy knows who killed biggie. French montana is his next victim, iv never gave jay-z a penny of my money, never would, he pissed alot of people of fuckin up the roc n state property

  • this guy is actaully GOOD at acting...he should try more of that

  • With so many people to split the publishing with is probably the reason why Jay-Z didnt give him any. One less person to split with.

  • People let me break it down. "Give it to me" is an original song that contains "resung elements" from another. Neptunes would get 50% publishing for production. Jay-Z, Pharell, Omillio Sparks(had he did a contract), and Rick James would split the remaining other 50% as writers. This man lost out on stacks. Jay-Z could have taken this lost because he pull a hit record out of his ass anytime but O cant. He hasnt made a hit record since and probably never will smh.

  • how is any of this shit shady?? YOU GAVE HIM PERMISSION TO USE IT! That's not shady! you're just mad that the song blew up! You just admitted you gave him permission. he had the decency to ask you and you gave him your blessing and now you're mad? GTFOH! Next time dont be a pushover. passive aggressive ass shit... if you gonna catch feelings later just say no from the jump. lame ass shit

  • It is Business Show, NOT Show Business. Always remember it's BUSINESS Show...

  • I did business with my own brother far as his producer....he's a rapper....I got my publishing and he has his own!.....its not about trust always but being business minded so the next "jay-z" doesn't play you! Just ask Daz how those millions feel he got from Suga Knight!

  • damn does anyone know a video or site where i can learn and brush up on these things for future references?

  • @landerssd Try the how to start a record label book it talks about publishing a lot in there.

  • @TheToraman888 thats a real book? if so, can you please tell me where i can find it

  • @MCSPAS914212 try your local book store the correct name of the book is Start an Independent Record Label by J.P. Rudsenske

  • @n003326

    P.S.

    n blacks aren't succeeding as a "COLLECTIVE" for various other important reasons and I assure you this isn't one of them

  • @colouredbills

    oh the hell shut up......... ever heard of the Winklevoss twins, you live and learn from your experiences. Judging from his demeanor it seems like he isn't holding a grudge, so he obviously learned from his mistake so that he doesn't repeat it in the future.

  • this is why black people will never succeed

  • Damn I felt bad for him hearing that story. He got screwed out of A LOT of money!! Music business is shady.

  • Dat studio behind him looks fake heard it a picture LOOOOL

  • I'm only speculating from what he said but it sounds like he was signed to a company called black friday and they sold his contract to the roc. So they probably got the money and he probably signed a whack contract!!

  • @tonymano hahahahahahahaha

  • MUSIC is LUV! Youtube/REGGIEWRITEOUS

  • fuck gay0z Columbia and roc nation

  • You can only blame yourself for not studying...

  • Attention up and coming artist or anyone in the music writing biz. If you don't take anything else from this, GET YOUR PUBLISHING RIGHT before you start recording/colab. Your first song you record with someone could be a major hit and you get nada if you're not up on the biz of things. You might not ever get another chance.

  • @telj1 do you need an attorney for publishing ? how do you go about getting the publishing right ?

  • @chicoblaxican It's so easy you'ld wonder why people don't automatically do it.

    No attorney needed unless you don't handle your biz first. Google it and it comes up.

    If you don't find the info email, I'll forward it.

  • Everybody knows that the music industry is shady. You're supposed to always go in with a good lawyer by your side.

  • Lol. Everybody worried about Jay-Z when everybody would've done the same thing. DTA - Don't trust anybody.

  • Hate this crackhead lookin dude

  • @hidefhead Why?

  • @bigstU25

    Cause I hate when mofos defend other mofos that CLEARLY took advantage of you!! Just because its JayZ don't mean shit! My man Omillio is looking like he ready for a meal but he just can't say no to niggas that take advantage of him.

  • green screen mothafuckaaa

  • i haven't seen this dude in forever were u bin hidden ?

  • Illuminati

  • THERE'S A REASON JAY AND PUFF OR SO COOL....THOSE SNAKES THINK LIKE

  • @iliveonce11 your english/grammar is amusing. lol Even worse, 9 ppl gave it a thumbs up.  And even worse, you put it in all caps as if to draw attention to it... smh

  • @iliveonce11 was this comment suppose to go like this?

    there's a reason jay and puff are so cool....those snakes think alike

  • @iliveonce11 I see you failed english in school

  • too funny....

  • THOSE THAT FUCKED FOR THEY PUBLISHING WOW

  • Did any1 learn anything from the Jaz-O situation!

  • Fa fight was fixed

  • Jay Z is a snake

  • before MJ died he brought little richards publishing from the beetles and gave it back to him that was such a awesome thing to do. now little richard makes 9 million every year. jayz is a straight up dirt bag for not giving omillio sparks his publishing rights. j is a millionaire he could give back and try to do something good for once

  • LOL! Green screening a studio. Fake ass.

  • haha jay is a straight boss

  • I think half yawll that write comments are retarted or just dont list Sparks aint mad he's laughing he knew he aint have his shit right, he aint dissin Jay Z....

  • @Bimmacmiane Word! Thats no t a bridge to burn if you still in the hood.

  • Jayz is much like Michael Jordan when it comes to business VERY cutthroat

  • Jay-Z said it best...."People beef with me is what I didnt do for them"

  • @TheFlogame that was my uncles motto/slogan but he turned out to be a thief...lol..just how nyc raised us..you dont get to the top without shyttn on ppl...this is the real world and jay is no saint ok he is from the hood...his style  belongs to young chris..go listen to jay z first album then listen to him after state property..hmmm he is a biter ...rich..yeah..real nicca doubt it

  • lol @ fake ass background

  • like Omillio Sparks said on state property "he should have gave that nigga the business"

  • Comment removed

  • I think this nigga was the best actor in State Property movies,he was like a black Joe Pesci.He needs to pursue that acting career while he's bullshitting.But anyway that shit Jay did was fucked up.

  • It is your responsibility as the artist to protect your own ASS!! You can't depend on any one else to make sure your money is right.

  • @AriesMars203 exactly, iCouldnt of said it better!

  • Nooo Proobleeemm! Nooo Proobleeemm!! What a fuckin' idiot. He should have had his business shit together before recording ANYTHING!

  • @IHEARTHIPHOPDOTCOM You right and you can't let some niggas you know hear your ideas because they will bite ya shit and trust me i know cuz someone did me like that, and when Jay z ask for me to do that i would of had a contract written up, and had the hook copy written.

  • @tahjmahall just put the song in a letter, make sure you look up the right copyright additions, put in a envelope and take to post office. dont open when you get it back. old style ghetto copyright. oh, dont tell them you have a professional copyright, if they use it, mo money!

  • @sanzibar76 mail it to yourself, in short. will stand in court as long as it is postmarked and not opened or tampered with.

  • Comment removed

  • @MrYoubtubin I WILL HAVE TO TELL MY COLLEGE PROFESSORS THEY WHERE WRONG, ILL GET BACK TO YOU! BACK IN THE DAY THEY HAD NOTHING AND STILL WON IF THE RIGHT DOCUMENTS ARE PRODUCED. I SAID GHETTO WAY, NOT THE WAY. LISTEN AND HEAR MY BROTHER.

  • What the fuck is up with the green screen, fake ass studio behind him LOL!

  • Sux. but yeah. He not mad about it. That's ANY business. Not just the music industry. Corporate, blue collar, education, etc. Def a dxck move, but you live and u learn. He got that publishing company set up, right? Won't happen again. lesson learned.

  • now sparks been under jay for the longest. whatever sparks gotta say about jay good or bad is damn sure true.

  • Thats Jays game, he gets you thinkin he really cares about your existence then does some cutthroat shit showing his true colors..Every man for himself theory..use or get used

  • @DopeButtaTV except theres a interview with Peedi crakk and u can look that shit up motherfucker admits that all these goons were all over on they budget and spending wreckless and not having any content being made . look that shit up

  • @DopeButtaTV Thats some shit the devil do to ya!!!

  • @DopeButtaTV Yeah niggas shouldnt be looking for fathers at this stage in their life... If I had been signed with Jay I would have seen it as a great chance to make my mark....knowing good and well you cant ride coattails forever... really who has survived that why in life... but these are scared children acting like thugs running the world when they are just children who have a ton to learn

  • @DopeButtaTV You aint never did no damn business with Jay so how would you know how he operates his affairs? You say he does "cutthroat shit" but that's all speculation.

    Jay gives these bum ass niggas opportunities to blow wand when they don't yall niggas who weren't buying their albums expect Jay to keep them on the label and signed...What kind of business would that be? Jay would lose money an unpromising artists, That's hustling backwards

  • @Bankallday Dawg we are all talking from the outside looking in, that was my perception of him maybe im right and maybe you're right who knows. But Jay Z has a track record of fuckin people over just like Diddy..You cant ignore that.

  • @Bankallday Stop the dick riding! Jay has a history of fucking over people. you cats make excuses for every body you love.

  • @mrwhatever213 Fuck you nigga, aint nobody dick riding...You look up videos on youtube just to diss Jigga. What does that make you?

  • @DopeButtaTV Despite that circumstance, I like how Omillio has shown that he's long since dealt with it and not become bitter or resentful because of it. Omillio said, "you live and you learn through experience" and that's so true. Sometimes you can't be on point 100%. You have to go throught trial and error, take a loss or two to build up experience in general and alot of people seem to forget that.

  • @DopeButtaTV Why dont you look at the other side of things, you're sayin JAY DOES CUTTHROAT SHIT why dont you look at the fact that he gave them an OPPORTUNITY to make a lot of money, he signed them and gave them a chance. What you choose to do with your career is all up to you. OMILLIO SPARKS was on of the biggest singles of hip hop, that by itself is a whole lot of recognition.

  • @DopeButtaTV Actually thats the Bitchassness Theory, Real Men got Honor amongst those that Have and Show honor towards them..Thats the G Code Theory

  • This is very unclear. Re-singing a Rick James line does not make anyone a writer; that credit and publishing share would go to James & his publisher (Jobete/EMI). The writer of the additional parts, those sung by Pharrell are not a sample. Lastly, anything that someone writes is automatically protected by copyright. A publishing company is the entity that registers the share of that creation.

  • @TheKobieChronicles WTF,, lol you must be a lawyer

  • @TheKobieChronicles nah! we know when a snake is in the grass jayz did the whole team dirty along with Big and Nas thats if you listen to hip hop also jay z not only did Omillio wrong he stole Young Chris style jay maybe rich but he shyted on the hood cats to get there..besides jay dont giv a dam about you or me he worth 500 mill just retire and spend that doe and let the new cats get shine... aint he 40

  • @TheKobieChronicles Yeah I don't think he realizes that. Just because Rick James was in prison? Doesn't mean you can use his intellectual property without him getting paid. I mean maybe he could have got SOME money for his voice being on the single, but, it would have been a little ass percent anyway. Either way he got fucked, but not as bad as he thinks. Just a good story to tell I guess.

  • What's fucked up is when u have a artist who's also the ceo of the label. A cat like Jay Z can never see anyone above himself on that label. Damon Dash may have been an asshole. One thing for sure those young cats on rocafella were doing shows, selling records and getting paid !! The only reason you see Kanye West is suddenly Jay Z's best friend is because Kanye may a whack rapper , but he is one the best producer's out there. If it were not for that , you would not see Jay with him !

  • @rayvictory sthu

  • @LuvinLoso4Life what's sthu ?

  • @rayvictory it means Shut The Hell Up :)

    First of all ... how long has Jay and Kanye been rockin with eachother now??! ... Oh Ok, to say Kanye is a "wack" rapper?? dude , iJust wanna know who you classify as NOT being a wack rapper?

  • @LuvinLoso4Life First of all I was speaking in reference to how Jay Z treats people who are supposed to be close him. He cuts them off period !!! Because we all know that he's good rapper , but he didn't build his success by himself. Kanye is talented producer but he's not the greatest rapper in the world either, he's ok. What i classify as not being a whack rapper is Nas, Biggie , 2pac, Rakim, Big daddy Kane & Big pun ! Kanye makes good rap music, but lyrically I've heard better.

  • Comment removed

  • @rayvictory i agree fam im with you.

  • @tahjmahall

    I'm glad to see that i'm not the only one who see's Jay Z the way i see him

  • Hov that's some bitch ass shit and that's the illiminati jay knew sparks had swag to do big things but he had to keep him at a place so he wasn't relevant

  • JAY IS SHADY STRAIGHT UP. U HEAR 2 MANY PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT CAMPS ARE ALL SAYING IT THEY ARENT ALL TELLIN THE SAME LIE! PLEASE BELIEVE IT!

  • @Chaingeeazi!! Omillio was just a SMALL time business kid tryin to get on with the biggest hiphop artist at the time. He didn't know the ends and outs. Jay was once that budding young rapper that's why it's so fucked up that he did what he did. He learned his lesson the hard way. I wish him well though!!!

  • You apparently don't know who your talking to STUPID!!! I'm a proud BLACK man. Let's get that straight and stop with all this racist crap your sowing like a the dumbass idiot you are. Last but not least; the man has been know to be a part of the Illuminati for YEARs. He is a Mason!! So get your facts straight. I don't give a fuck how you try to flip it; he took advantage of a young and naive black man for the sole purpose of getting another hit and making money!!! All Omillo was trying to do wa

  • any company with the word "family" in their name...or motto...just know off the bat its shady

  • @thagingerbreadman MIght end up gettin' wacked! lol

  • but damn yall young nica from da hood around rich nicaz though,,,,,,he was jus livin it up,,,,,j shoulda sat em down and gave em dem jewels,,,nicaz is gettin killed over 100s on da streets,,,for dem millz i woulda blew jay z thoughts on da wall

  • @gohard82baby and your train of thought is EXACTLY why jay-z probably said fuck em. why would you wanna be around someone that, as you say, "for dem millz i woulda blew jay z thoughts on da wall"

  • @CocoMilkNCheetos see young rappers dont no evry aspect of da game,,,so when situations like dat happen big artist should like j should drop da science,,,I rap and i dont no shit about how all dat shit works,,,im sure omillio was jus glad 2 be,,,,but dem nicas cant be that street cause if i was 2 find out a nica got me 4 millz WHOOOO! i woulda went 2 jail,,,cause it aint evrey day we hood nicaz see dat kinda $ u feel me bro lol

  • hahaha this nigga was just dumb

  • Gimmy that funk that sweat that gushy stuff...

  • Well like Jay said "I tried to teach niggas how to be kings but all they ever wanted to be was soldiers."

  • I thought Pharrell sung the hook

  • @jackdaman80 pharell says "Give to me" but the other shit on the hook is O

  • Whoa!

  • If anything, Rick James received royalties for that

  • that's an old rick james song...you not supposed to get publishing for that.

  • to get to the top u gotta step on some shoes... Jay Z is not the Devil, he is a Boss

    all Bosses are Dickheads, tell me I'm wrong.. if u got a nice Boss i would love to meet him/her...

  • @fhab525 lol are you serious?..... their are millions of "nice bosses " i got a nice boss i know friends who got a nice " boss" ....

  • i love the background. that shit cracks me up

  • Man you have to look at this way These dudes are coming off the streets they don't all that about publishing rights.Even so If Jay ask for the song you give it to him.Niggas on here talking bout I would have dont this or that STFU.I can tell niggas who act like K is right is sum broke niggaz.Dats just what broke niggaz do act like they are bizness smart LLS. So I guess u niggas was going to mention Pubishing to J right? LLS so what happens if he drops you? back to da streets STFU wit all dat

  • @TheDev2g have him raped by a crackhead

    

  • this nikka got zuckerburged

  • There`s no honor among thieves,this cat had to learn the hard way.

  • so if that's his chorus and he got an old cd to prove or something on pc to prove it was his then he can rightfullt sue for money he didn't recieve

  • @SpBS2 copyright laws do not work that way...

  • stay up on your business!!!!!!

  • I think too many cats on here are quick to take sides with someone who seems like the under dog

    nobody knows what really happened with the Roc..at least not most

    from the way i see it...only person that looks like the bad guy is Dame..because he MADE himself look like a fool

  • Everybody here taking Jay Z side needs to STFU! Put urself in these brothers position if that shit had happened to you yall would be ready to kill Jay Z, I know I would cause Rule number 1: Never play with no ones money. And what MsTruthBringer said I can't agree with because if I looked at someone like a family to me I would never step on their toes and play them like they don't deserve their money. Fuck outta here.

  • @blazedabooth You obviously didnt listen to what dude said, Its not Jay Z who screwed him over, its the other guy from Black Friday since he was going to do the publishing , he said in the video that the dude from Black Friday is the one who is getting his publishing money.

  • @dsjj251 Yea you right I really didn't listen at first. Only thing I did was read the video, and listen to him say "Getting Played For His Publishing" and did the obvious, talk shit about Jay-Z like I know him personally. So yea I was assuming instead of listening and understanding what he was really saying. I appreciate you for correcting me.

  • proves my point. ...Gay Z is a f*ckn SNAKE!

  • apparently he not the BIG HOMIE if he fucked you for the song like that dumb ass.

  • @domoalready he was saying at the time it was big homie retard

  • can't sympathize w/ a man that doesnt have his business straight, ppl in power take advantage of those who make dumb business decision, i guess it was a different time then, ppl are more aware of shit like that now, hes missin out 10's of 1000's of dollars

  • fuck out of here niggas...yaal KNOW u would do the same thing. this nigga werent makin jay no money so obvs he has to drop him, i know i damn would. jay z's fuckin smart and thats how he got out the hood, call him a sellout but he's a muthafuckin rich sellout

  • Jay z is a psychopath, look up the symptoms .

  • the homie from State Property!! word!! had no idea he did that hook!

  • jay-z is the worst angle shooter in the game

  • Ummmmm he could of said no. Besides that hook is from a Rick James song!!!!! Don't act like you wrote it Sparks. lol.

  • PHEEWWWWWWW.

    you lost out on M'SSSS ma dude !

  • day one whenever you start anything get EVERYTHING in writing! When your sitting in mc donalds and someone says something.. dont take anyones word, say lets go home and write that down. IF they dont, then they are shaddy, you can see how people are from day one.. if you have that little voice in your head thinking something is wrong..... listen to it, its 100% right. when money gets involved later all those small personality things you think you see now, become HUGE problems!

  • BLACK PPL HATERS..NOT HATIN THE GOVT WHO FUCKIN EM OR THE OTHER RACES THATS FUCKN EM BUT NIGGAS HATE THEMSELVES

  • Cats on here talkn bout dude shoulda been up on his deem woulda got assraped just the same.Yall need to stop cause u woulda been blinded by the lights 2.Imagine comin from nothin to all of sudden 5star hotels,flights,tours,getn show $,fuckn bad bitches,whips n chains(get it)u would b caught up 2,especially if the socalled big homie hollarn that family shit in ya ear every gotdamn minute,so all yah sayin that,need to stop.Cant take notn away from Jay spit gm,but he just a more lyrical Diddy smfh!

  • For you to say Smarten Up. THats DUMB. He did SMARTEN UP. But by the time he realized what was going on it was TOO LATE. If JAY really cared about his folks as HE PROCLAIMED in a lot of his RHYMES. IT'S THE ROC, ROCA FELLA FAMILY, then he would have made sure little homie got paid correctly and would have schooled him. But what do you expect from a man who has sold his soul to the DEVIL????

  • @TheOCTAVIUS72 you sound so ignorant.

  • @TheOCTAVIUS72 Although I would've handled the situation differently, I live by a different set of principles. I would not expect Jay or ANYBODY in the industry to school me... esp. on something I'm already supposed to know, being involved w the industry already. They weren't fam. as he said they just met. He knows he messed up, that's why he's not really upset. But if he's smart, he'll still pursue it in court. It's not too late.

  • @TheOCTAVIUS72 since hes black and successful worth hundred millions of dollas he believes in the devil but bill gates is worth 50 billion what the fuck is that A Blessing from god fuck outta here u fuck racist mothafucka u just mad cus hes black and got money dumb fuck

  • @TheOCTAVIUS72

    I agree with you !!!

  • @TheOCTAVIUS72 you the damn devil! Who are you to judge?

  • @TheOCTAVIUS72 the devil get the fuck outta here u fuckin retard , someone successful they automaticly fucking devil worshipers ... u fucking broke ass hoe go get a job a mc donalds

  • internet gangsters!

  • jay-z is a theif he steals ppls shit to make him self bigger

  • I respect this but at the same time why must Jay babysit nigga who don't be on they business... Smarten up, that's what he did

  • @MegaHeavyhitta cuz they came from the hood....and jayz was so suppose to help them out cause he said rock familia all the god damn time...thats familly u a millionaire and everybody else broke thats a snake right there i wulda said eat a dick nigga

  • Yeah that's a real Nigga!!

  • OMILLIO SPARKS

  • that's how the music business works..it's cut throat..all the top people keep the money and the artist is the last to get paid..and the artist doesn't even get money..they usually get material compensation..(an expensive car/chain/clothes..etc)...espe­cially with hip hop artists.

  • Fuck Jay-Z. Old shady ass nigga. You can't take all that money with you when you die. Bitch ass. Hope you and that fake ass wife enjoy it while it lasts.

  • omilio looks like cool peoples he shouldntve been fucked over like that

  • Omilio bit the hook from Rick James -Super Freak anyway.. Fuck out of here..

  • Dis nigga could be brian hooks lil brutha... aka Blaze
