In other Jay-Z news, Hip-Hop presented the beat for “Still Not A Player” before it ultimately landed in Big Pun’s lap. He also tried to get Jay-Z on “Whoa!” which wound up becoming Black Rob’s biggest hit. Finally, he revealed that he tried to get Jay-Z to rap on the beat for Mr. Cheeks’ “Lights, Camera, Action.”
“He said it was too slow,” Hip-Hop recalled of Jay’s reaction to “Lights, Camera, Action.” “I was like ‘Whatchu mean it’s too slow?’”

The hosts then asked how he felt about the success of the song. He explained that he didn’t feel any way about Jay turning the beat down.
“Nah, it’s like whatever is best for the record,” he said. And I know that a record just got to motivate [Jay-Z].”
Meanwhile, fellow New York rapper, 50 Cent chimed in an interview that Eminem had a bigger impact on the world of hip hop than the Roc-a-Fella founder.
