"Someone claimed on another board that some freelancer from Jive told her that Jive pushed JC's album back to "punish" him because he wouldn't put a rapper on his first single like they wanted."
Posted by gadzookus:
"I don't know anything about the punishment part, but both DMX and Jay-Z *were* approached. I have no other details, but that did in fact happen. Your friend is telling the truth."
!!!!!!!!!!
A week later both DMX and Jay-Z announced that they were leaving the business. Oy.

Even if they want a rapper on it, it doesn't have to be done right away. It can always be put on the remix.
And the Jay-Z thing, didn't Britney say in one of her interviews that her favorite rapper was Jay-Z. Maybe Jive approached him about her first single.
