Now a days we see Jay Z chilling with his beautiful wife Beyonce and living the life. You seen him on yachts, in the islands, court side at basketball games and doing what a big celebrity do. If you have any knowledge of Hip Hop history or keep up with the numerous beefs that take place between artist, you surely know about the Jaz-O and Jay Z conflict.
Jaz-O is a MC, active in the late 1980s and early 1990s, best known for being a mentor of sorts to Jay-Z. Jaz is also known as the Originator and had a song called "The Originators" that featured a young Jay-Z in 1989. As simply the Jaz, he had success with his 1990 single "Hawaiian Sophie," from his debut album Word to the Jaz.
He has been featured on some of Jay-Z's songs, such as "Bring it On" (from Reasonable Doubt) and the single "Nigga What, Nigga Who (Originator 99)" (from Vol. 2: Hard Knock Life) as Big Jaz and produced the single "Ain't No Nigga" from Reasonable Doubt and the song "Rap Game/Crack Game" from In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. Jaz-O is known to have discovered Jay-Z. Jaz-O claims that Jay-Z got his name from Jaz, something Jay-Z denies.
Jaz was an important figure in the Nas vs. Jay-Z feud. It is also speculated that Jaz-O supplied Nas with some of the information he used in his Jay-Z diss track "Ether." After the situation with Nas cooled down, Jay-Z went on to diss Jaz first on a track released by DJ Kay Slay featuring Freeway, Geda K, Young Chris, and Memphis Bleek and later on his album The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse. Jay-Z said on the title track, "I'ma let karma catch up to Jaz-O." Jaz responded with a record on a DJ Kay Slay mixtape called "It's Ova."
Well Jaz-O is back and it looks like he is throwing his hat in the game and is definitely going after a few people including Jay-Z. Now I am on the fence about artist beefing and the potential of it to get out of hand. But I also know that sometimes it is that beef that brings out the best creativity and tracks. Who know what will happen with Jaz-O and Jigga. Is it the master finally coming home to scold the pupil or is it just one more person throwing rocks at the throne to upset the king?
