Dehaven

Jay-Z? Dame Dash?.. “Wouldn’t Be No Roc-A-Fella Without Me”

Jay-Z’s entrance into the rap game was meant to escape the streets. Although he’s used his hustling experience as a foundation for his career, it’s only recently that his past has come back to haunt him. Ironically it’s come from those he was closely associated with.

A couple of weeks ago it was Calvin Klein, today it’s Dehaven. Who!?!

Fire up that Black Album, hit “December 4th”..

”.. With that disdain in my membrane, got on my pimp game, ‘fuck the world!’ my defense came. Then Dehaven introduced me to the game. Spanish hoes Jose introduced me to caine. I’m a hustler now. My gear is in and I’m in the in-crowd.”

That Dehaven has emerged from the shadows in a YouTube video saying that he plans to expose Jay-Z, his mother, Dame Dash, Ta-Ta and others in the Roc-A-Fella fam for what they are. Just what that is isn’t clear. The video is more of a teaser for what can only be an eventual DVD release. The general feeling seems to be he’s not happy that he hasn’t been welcomed into Jay-Z’s hustling afterlife.

Here you see Jay-Z, Dehaven and E <

< I'm guessing that's short for Emorie.

Original Roc-A-Fella ???

Emorie is a name you might be familiar with from Jay-Z’s Kingdom Come. He dedicated an entire song to him on “Do You Wanna Ride.” What makes Emorie different from any of his other friends.. *question*..  listen to the song, Jay is promising that the world’s finest awaits him when he comes home from the correctional facility.

It’s gonna be a tug-a-war.

In the video Dehaven is promising the same thing.

It will remain to be seen if he takes sides with Dehaven, Jay-Z, or maybe he becomes the bridge of reason between the two.

One things for sure when Jay-Z was on Angie Martinez last week saying he’s not responsible for anyone’s life, he was talking about more than Calvin Klein. There is more going on than we are aware of. I do know if any of us got up on G4 money there would be a ton of cousins and old friends that would be knocking at the door, feeling like they are entitled just because we’re ‘fam.’

Where the truth lies only those involved know the truth.

Shout to Illseed on the video.

Just because Jay sells millions of records and has millions of dollars that doesn’t make him the most righteous on the planet. Are you people just fans and it hurts to see your hero exposed. You should really understand that life can be foul and it is what it is yet you are going to Jays defense because????? It is about the money when Money changes a person to the point where they start to shit on those that were there for them, where is the realness in that, And for the record. NEW YORK /BROOKLYN never have been DICK RIDERS
. We Don’t Do That!  You fans must really have some fragile egos or you guys posting this stuff work for Jay Z in the publicity department

Let the truth be told.
Is it heresy or not?
Is it relevant?
Is greed the motive?
Blue Prints.
Analyze this.
A quick come up.
The rough of all evil.
Who is this man?
Who is that man?
You want a car?
You want a house?
You want love?
You want a bullet.
Man in the mirror.
Tell the TRUTH.

IT’S NOT NOT ALWAYS ABOUT THE MONEY.
ALL I KNOW IS A LOT OF PEOPLE NEED TO SIT BACK AND LOOK AT THEM SELFS AND SEE WHAT CLOTH THAT U R CUT FROM.
I DON’T CARE WHERE U R AT IN LIFE, SOMEWHERE DURING YOUR LIFE THERE WAS SOME ONE IN YOUR EAR THAT HAD INFLUENCE ON YOUR LIFE. SOME MORE THAN OTHERS, SO U MEAN TO TELL ME U SUPPOSED TO SAY F*CK THEM!! THEY NEVER DID NOTHING 4 ME. I WANT EVERY ONE TO TAKE THE EMOTIONAL ASPECT OUT OF IT.  AND SAY WHY SHOULD THAT MAN LEAVE THE PEOPLE BEHIND.
YOU TAKE PARTS OF YOUR LIFE AND PART OF OTHER PEOPLE LIFE.
AND LET THE STORY BE TOLD. WITHOUT THESE OTHER PEOPLE THEIR NO STORY.
THAT THE THING WE CALL HIS- STORY.
THERE IS NO FUTURE WITHOUT YOUR PAST.
SO ALL U PEOPLE THAT R NOT CUT FROM THE CLOTH.
REAL G"S DO REAL THINGS.
NEED TO FALL BACK ON THIS ONE. REAL TALK

1st off: F*CK THESE BUM ASS BROKE ASS NIGGAS TRYNA TO COME OUT THE WOODWORKS @ MY MAN JIGGA. Like he said, he AINT responsible for no one’s life. How you gone be a grown man and expect another man to take care of you? In any way! Especially financially?! Sounds to me like these niggas just jealous and they mad they was locked up in jail while Jay was living the glamorous life getting paper. This ‘Dehaven’ character and Calvin Kline can both suck AIDS d*ck and they need to get a life, a job, a hobby, another life, amongst other things. All they want is some money. I bet if Jay cut them a check they’d shut the f**k up. I don’t respect them or their statements bcuz it’s in vain, it’s not to “let the truth out” or watever. Its to try to threaten Sean Carter into PAYING THEM! PERIOD. There bums! And I hope Hov dont give them a penny! F*CK THEM AND DOUBLE F*CK THAT SHIT THEY TALKIN BOUT!!! 1

10 I'm from Cambridge Sun, Aug 12, 2007 - 7:36 pm

I’m from Cambridge and i was around in the early nineties. Dehaven is not lying him Emory, Big Ty and others was getting that paper. Jay was around trying to become a rapper. Son use to keep dudes off Jay lil bonnie ass. Jay was Dehaven “SON”
Ask yourself why do Jay continue to shit on folks that held him down. Where is Jazz-O?? We suppose to be living this Death B4 Dishonor. Where is the honor leaving your God daughter in the Projects today. Jay is Dehaven’s daughter God father. If Jay was a child Molester you d*ck riders would still be riding that d*ck. We love you Emory & Ty true soldiers

11 Dame is a real dude Sun, Aug 12, 2007 - 7:44 pm

look at how many millionaire’s Dame has created Jay is a scary ass nigga TaTa his main MAN just got his moms out the PJ’s 2yrs ago?? Sad he better not even try to show up for Mercy Day on the 18th the projects got something for his ass. Water for African kids and kids in Mercy is thirsty, Negro please. Take your head out those Jews ass. Right is Right. Is he going to Shit on Emory & Big Ty when they touch down??? What is he doing for E & Ty peopl right now?? He better hope 50 don’t scoop Dehaven up because the real street cats in NYC f**ks with Dehaven 50 may see the value in publishing the book.

12 I'm From the Eastern Shore Too... Mon, Aug 13, 2007 - 11:13 am

I see a lot of people talking, but just how close to Dehaven,Jay, Emory or Ty were you in the 90s?  I was VERY close, from the 90s till about 2 years ago, and I can tell you that what’s going on between those two is not all Jay’s fault.  Just like Dehaven claims to have s-hit on Jay, you’d best believe there’s a whole lot, A WHOLE LOT of cruddy s-hit that can be exposed about him too.  Don’t be so quick to respect D and call him a soldier or “real” if you don’t know all the facts.  Trust me, there are things he’s done, even recent things, that might change your opinion of that.  There are always two sides to every story.

13 DADA Mon, Aug 13, 2007 - 12:39 pm

Jay has evolved beyond the streets and any successful person can identify with having to make hard choices and leaving certain people behind in order to move forward. Its about growth and most hood dudes don’t want to or are scared to grow beyond the street mentality. These cats might have been there in the begining but they didn’t give Jay the opportunities that he has now…his lyrical talent and life experience gave him what he has. Sure in a fairytale world he could ‘look out’ and let dudes leech off him like MC Hammer did. But I can’t knock him for the decisions that he’s had to make to put him where he’s at today. Its sad that these GROWN MEN are waiting and expecting another MAN to feed them. If u really a bonafide hustler like many of them claim to be then leave that man alone and do u.

14 I'm From the Eastern Shore Too... Mon, Aug 13, 2007 - 12:51 pm

While Jay was doing his rap thing, Dehaven had businesses in MD, DE, NC and who knows where else.  WTF happened to them?  At some point, his drug money was making him legal money too.  What did he do to f**k up all that money he had?  Or was that Jay’s fault too?  Puuuhhhhleeeezzzeeee.

21 Ms Moni Thu, Aug 16, 2007 - 3:10 am

Wow, this issue has sparked alot of interest.  I’m not personally a Jay-Z fan however I’m very familiar to the plight that he’s in.  When you find success in your life there will always be people who want to latch onto you and prosper from your success.  Now, that doesn’t mean you should forget the people who’ve helped you and held you down, but at the same time, if you’ve grown up, and you look around and see that the people you used to hang with haven’t grown or changed then you have to make moves. We as a people have got to stop making our friends our priorities, a real friend is going to grow along with you and prosper with you, not wait for you to make it and ride your success to the top.  I’m not against opening doors for people, but why should he carry people with him? I don’t claim to be close to the situation, or know every detail, all I know is that if his decision is based on him outgrowing his youth and transitioning into an icon, then that meant that if the people around him weren’t trying to up their game then it was wise for him to leave them where they were.

I agree that you can’t take everyone to the top. You definently can’t have all your old drug dealing buddies in legitimate business’s with you, but you can still show you down.  Some is after money some want the fame Jay has attained, some just want thing to be like they use to be.  These real friends just want to know they were appreciated for their sacrafice. Truth be told what stories or street credibility would Jay have had it not been for all these dudes? They was all getting money but I never remember Jay being the boss, niggas was checking for him because of his affiliation not because he was the leader. Also what happend to Jaz-O if it had not been for him there would be no Jay-Z name and all. And had not it been for Dehaven, Calvin and others Sean Carter would have been bodied in Marcy PJ’s or down south (Cambridge, MD or Easton, MD), niggas wasn’t feeling him like that. In closing I heard Jay get destroyed in a battle by my man Crutch Wonder aka Darnell in 93 on the Hill by the little hut. “95 South and Poppi on the Hill and shit”- “Feeling it”

24 laylow Sun, Aug 19, 2007 - 11:05 am

headache ain’t snitchin. Snitchin is when you cooperate with law enforcement, cops, narc, feds etc. My man is just airin it out and layin it flat. J had plenty of time to holla but chose to ignore the very people who got him on when he needed dough to get in the game. Now he turned his back but the upcoming DVD, book, and 5 videos, are to remind him of where he cane from and to let him know it ain’t over. Trust me, there is still a whole lot more to come. Believe that.

25 laylow Sun, Aug 19, 2007 - 11:11 am

On the real J said he had 99 problems but I think he better count again.  That nigga Gill is back.  That’s my word.

Everyone got a story to sell , its all entertainment so who did what ,when ,how and so on ,what difference does it make ,GET MONEY ! The Game is to be Sold ! Not Told!  So it is enough money for everyone ! GET IT HOW YOU LIVE IT!

29 DeHaven's X-Girl Fri, Aug 31, 2007 - 5:18 am

Wow, so many quick to judge DeHaven for his exposing Jay, soon to be.  For real, when the video and book come to light, the truth will be told!!  So many to say that the way DeHaven is presenting himself is distasteful and such, it’s all apart of the game. It was a game then and it’s a game now.  The two of them started this game a long time ago, which has blown up and now Gill is out and can play too, so now it’s CHECK JIGGA!! Your MAN is HURT, he took you under his wing, you were his brother which meant something to him.  The two of you know what kind of background you come from, so…you had a tendency to depend on each other at all times.  So….it should have never come to this, a person’s word is their bond, remember that.  Everyone on the ‘Shore knew what the deal was, just like everyone in Marcy knew the deal, this is WHACK, you never forget where you come from and who was there for you when and where, no matter where or what part of the world you are located, your past is your past and…will always come back to haunt you.  The guys came down as ONE and sooner than quick, they all started to depart one from another, which was wrong, I saw it each and everyday. You started out as brothers, cousins and friends and ended up as what?  Haters?  LIERS?  And….ENEMIES? Sad…but true,  they never should have let ANYTHING come between them, especially when brotherly love is suppose to be involved. For….  this is not simply about Moolah, this is about loyalty, trust and true friendship that goes way beyond a few years.  This is about survival then and more so survival now, on both parts in reality.  But…look what it has come to?  This?  The two of them, has done things against each other and others to survive but…no matter what, it always will come back on you.  So now….as “Never Bite the Hand that FEEDS you, stated, it’s all entertainment and there’s enough money to go around for all to get some and laugh at everybody else.  The two of them was as one and had a wonderful relationship of which it would be nice to have reconciled and everything swept under the rug.  Both, make that paper, LEGALLY now.  Show the folks, the world what real friendship and brotherly love is all about!!! And…..Gill, when u make it to the top, for you will, one way or another, remember who really loved you, way back when….......

31 Feeling Like a Black Republican Thu, Jan 10, 2008 - 7:03 am

Not to get political or anything. I see this situation for what it is. Positive spin for J career handsdown. Build a brand on hustling and street tactics… earn a kings ransom. The very people that you hustle with says it’s lies. Corporate America say hey you know what let’s do more business. Bigger Business. So either way Mr. Dehaven you are helping Jay right now moreover than hurting him. The NFL teaches disassociation at the door. Mike Vick missed that class. So question does guilt by association make sense to anyone. On the flip side. Jay pay more in taxes then what you proberly a make in your life time if this is the way you expect to earn your keep… smart move with have been start a 501(3) NON-PROFIT, CHARITY something positive and used your pictures and references to mingle and get donations. Cause thats what your saying pay-me for helping you. So if you like helping make a career out of it. Despite that. Your still helping him. Drop the video, the books, sweep the crumbs and eat. I would have done it differently, and it happened to me. A somewhat famous rapper from brownsville did it to us. The only different is his bubble burst. Jay is cemented in the game. If it was me. I would buy marcy and turn it to condos and rename it the carter. But the twist is I would make it affordable nevertheless I would profit from it. So continue cleaning hs image. We need that to happen thanks.  Also, it teaches the yungstas that he took calculate risks and came out ahead. Only if we knew back in 88 that the game wasnt going to last for ever.  If it was me, I would have done a feed the children stlye donate to a worthy cause but what your doing is so much better. Then NIGGA (and I used this with intent to express ignorance) Fuck crackers Im black, so its not racist. If I was that close to J and had pics and my name was mentioned… I would have came home making moves. J- would heard yo that cat De-haven got a street team pushing your music, that cat De-haven was at the forty-forty paid to get in, and ask for a job promoting, bar tending. All that talk and not once did you ever say can I have a job… his secretary would have been like Mr Carter you got a resume from De-Haven… Make your own job, UN thought me one thing… when I spent the half the bomb on lunch and thought I was getting paid at the end of the week “was you cant get something for nothing” I can go and on and on, how you can have made the right moves. Famous “” Fuck the world dont ask me for shit. Work hard nigga you lounging talking shit like superhead. But hey, I wish you much success in your endeavor. Hope ya’ll work it out. GREAT MARKETING WONDERFUL f**k beef with the rappers I got beef with the streets nigga. J your the best. Dehaven you back on top baby keep up the work.
