I was in Vegas with my boy and we went to Urban Necessities as he wanted to buy some kicks. There were several pairs of Yeezy's there that cost at least 400 dollars. This was the first time I actually laid eyes on an actual pair and I couldn't believe how much these things were. The Jordans were no better, with ridiculous price tags themselves. I can't believe there are people spending their whole paycheck on these things.
I find it interesting that you guys are praising Jay-Z pro black economic growth ideas on 4:44

Dumb posts like this are why education and financial literacy are important. It's clear You don't even understand what ownership is. Zuckerberg does not own 100% of facebook either. But he owns the controlling stake. Likewise Jay has the controlling stake of ownership in Tidal and it's parent company Aspiro. And that's what matters in business. Strategic partners are just that.
It is a mystery

The rationalizations against this thread are beyond retarded. Brehs are really in here doing their best

Smh at the excuses in this thread. You would think supporting ppl that best represent you would be common sense.
Even if Jay a frontman, every ceo is. Supporting black representation sets a precedent. If Companies see having black CEO's increases revenue guess what? they'd have no choice but to hire more blacks in those positions.

Tidal is like 14 a month. Can't afford that. If it was 9.99 I'd have it

It's a partnership with Sprint who's owned by SoftBank.
If Jay really wanted to make it FOR the people, he could have
But Jay Z is an independent Black businessman...
nikkas really need to see that famous Black people in business are spokesmen/women for multi billion dollar corporations...
To put it in drug dealer terms...Jay Z is a fukking runner for some of the biggest drug dealers...Jay Z is like fukking Dre from Power...
But this nikka tells you...he run shyt...
Exactly...
White people are eating up this Pro-Black economic shyt...
All it is means is more money for their Black facing brands...selling overpriced bullshyt to nikkas that can't afford it...
White people be in the meeting with a famous nikka...
"So all you have to do is tell them that you own it and they will buy it..."
"Yeah..."
"Or just look like you own it and they will buy it..."
"Pretty much..."
"How fukking stupid can these people be...here's your 2 million endorsement deal and your 3 percent stake in the company...we about to make some money together..."
Supporting black business should be something every black person is in favor of.....but not at the expense of common sense. When you buy a product/service, it should be because it benefits you the best. If someone else is offering a better product/service than you, why should people keep buying from you?
Have you ever looked at a financial statement or financial statistics of any large organization or foundation and wonder why they spend so much money on marketing and advertisements? The power of influence is riveting. If you can sell an idea you increase the perceived value of a product or service which allows you to jack up the price. It's really interesting when you think about it.

Calm down. I don't care where J spends his money. I buy and use all the ish you mentioned. I'm just saying that if you're serious about only Black business then make sure an ample number of people are Black behind the scenes. Otherwise the argument degrades a lil. If he has hired Black people behind the scenes, then fine. Excellent.
I like how you judge without knowing me. I do shop at black owned businesses
1) toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash ( gardners garden)
2) Soap ( touch )
3) laundry detergent ( true detergent)
4) Just recently started shopping on negash for shoes.
don't judge what you don't know fukk boy.
Tidal is 9.99 breh.
People really dapped his dumb ass post too. Most business owners on that scale don't own 100% of the company but they make sure they always own the majority.
nikka really said sprint owns a 3rd of it, I bet they think Steve jobs owned 100% of apple
You sir, make a very interesting point
