Jay has said himself he didn't blow up until white people started paying attention to him, which was around Vol. 2. He's from the streets, but white folks carried him to the mountaintop.
What was he rapping about when he blew up?

Lol, when and how was this "research" conducted? Any artist who can give away 1.4 million copies of an album and still get an additional 1 million to purchase it has power and pull.

Funny thing is that the dude that did the "research" is refusing to disclose how he came up with this information. But you know how coli nikkas be. :shaq2:

As a group, millennials consumers place a high premium on buying products from brands they see as being honest and having social goals that go beyond those published in their quarterly earnings reports. And despite Jay Z's promise to "Never Change," these consumers say they don't know what he stands for anymore.


The survey found that Jay Z scored 70% lower in the categories of trustworthiness and honesty than did celebrities like Morgan Freeman and Jennifer Lawrence, an issue Sehdev chalks up to Jay's intense focus on making money seemingly however he can.

Really? As I said in the other thread; these hipsters latched on to Jay-Z late and are surprised by any of this?

Like Money, Cash, Hoes & Money Ain't A Thang didn't come out a decade ago

Never Change was about being a drug dealer

Gotta give Jay this; he has a legion of fans not knowin' that Marcy Jay-Z had ever existed

He just had a kid for the first time. He's now a sports agent. He just sold his share in the Nets. His wife is the biggest pop star on the planet.

He has plenty to rap about. He just can't do it for more than a couple lines.


this is a great quote. its frustrating cause jay has a few dope lines here and there and u wonder why he cant do it for whole songs. its like a couple dope lines, sorrounded by crack talk. come on son.

These cacs are just getting started...

You think he's imune to the nature of the beast huh?


:pachaha:

yep. when you see how cacs built up MJ and then destroyed him, just know no black is immune. its sad cause jay really courted these cacs. as a black man it hurt me to see that. and now he is being rejected. the media. the new yorker. jon stewart, de niro. and now even black hipsters who are like cacs in blackfce. they fed up ofthis ninja. i criticise jay a lot but its sad to see. they bout to turn this ninja into bobby brown eating of whitney.

Any Cac can say or write anything negative about dude, and it will get praised, and believed to be true by the same group of cats on here, no matter how ridiculous it is.

The Devil is a lie, as usual :wow:
