They give him money cause he's known to make a lot of money, they are tightly knitted partners in Roc Nation, they obviously don't think that he's gonna Jay Electronica them. There's obligations but those does not have to include a recoup for tours. And even if it did, recoup means that you have to recoup initial investment before you can earn. Not that you have to recoup or you go to jail.That 200 million dollar re up was for Jay z and not Rocnation was it not?
and yes he sign deals that he has obligations to meet. you think live nation is giving jay z 200 million dollars cause he's married to Beyonce?
That retirement was a publicity stunt. come on man
And how can it be an publicity stunt, when he shut down his label and took a real job.
Jay-z had been talking about that retirement shyt since 97, I know some of you weren't really hiphop heads back then but Jay is a real person. Real people over/underestimate themselves and change their minds. I thought I was gonna party less, Hov thought he could stop rapping, as simple as that.
