“He is a crumb and I'm gone put my foot on his neck until he responds. Please make a record because a week it's been out dog. I'm not taking nothing from Jay-Z as an artist. He ain't no walk in the park but all I'm saying is I don't got to jog to keep up to him.”

It looks like the union between Dwight Grant and Curtis Jackson is official as the two lyrical titans stood side by side on Philly radio airwaves with radio personalities The Hot Boyz.  Putting the rats in the fire, Sigel held no punches as he spit his truth about Roc-A-Fella and how Damon Dash and Jay-Z both played one of their most loyal soldiers.
