The jig is really up? Just a reminder of how the 🐪got here.
There’s a big difference between paying homage and giving credit.
I find disingenuous to benefiting from someone else’s creativity while the recognition never reaches the people who actually created it, which Jz seems to have been doing. And when I look at J-FZ’s catalog, a lot of the biggest records people associate with him seem tied to collaborations, borrowed ideas, or longstanding credit disputes.
May Pac and Biggie continue to rest in peace- I wonder what happened to those missing PAC notes and boxes🤔🤷🏽♀️
Anyway, all I know is this: how you build your brand matters.
@JoeBrunoWSOC9 Tjamel Hamlin was my brother and a great father. he was dealing with a lot of stress and was often misunderstood. This very hard for the family to even process right now. pls keep our family in your prayers as well. this was shocking for All of us

You’re not supposed to have it all together.
Life isn’t a straight path—it’s chaos, pain, healing, and growth all mixed together. And that’s okay. You’re learning. You’re becoming.
Stop holding yourself to a standard no one can reach. You’re allowed to be figuring it out. You’re allowed to feel lost sometimes.
What matters is that you keep going. Not that it’s perfect—just that it’s real.
Love yourself.
Not just the version you show the world…
Not just when you’re winning, not just when you feel strong—
But especially when you don’t.
Love yourself when you feel like a burden.
Love yourself when the silence gets too loud.
Love yourself when you mess up.
When you say the wrong thing. When you let people down. When you can't even look in the mirror without flinching.
Love the kid in you who went through things they didn’t deserve.
Love the present you who wakes up every day with the weight of things they don’t talk about.
Love the future you who’s still fighting for peace.
