Universal owns the name and they distribute both Kanye and Jay-z. I think it's either just
for fun or for the history books.
Yeah Universal probably just keeps it there for branding reasons. They "relaunched" Roc-A-Fella for the MCHG album. Idk what that really entailed but Jay did tweet: "VII IV XIII Roc A Fella Records/Roc Nation"

Yeah but him wearing the chain in a picture with BIGGS and Jay sort of gives him credibility.
I can go get a similar roc chain made- but will Jay and Bigg stand by for my picture with it on without saying ish? :patrice:

Jewelry is one of the easiest way to wash money.
There's really no way to appraise "the work" that went into a piece aside from raw stone prices.
Charge $100,000 for a chain that really costs $30,000, jewelers pocket some dough and kick back the rest of the $ to the customer back in cash under the table, etc.

Now I don't know if it's still going on but back in the days one of the largest corporate money laundering vehicles was advertising companies.
Mad corporate dudes created slush funds with kick back money from ad campaigns that supposedly cost X amount of Ms (cost for "creative direction") but really didn't.
Like, literally companies would compare kick back offers (on the low) from ad agencies when they did RFPs.

White collar scam game is on another level.

:wow:


*edit: Art collecting world is also filled with scammers and slush fund creators. The same basic principle appiles here, too - arbitrary pricing system and diff. in book value and real cash transactions.
Can u speak on this more u alive breh ?
