You're in a sports forum. Fans hate the opposing team's players. What rock have you been living under bruh?

Okay, that's players. Jay-Z is a rapper, an entertainer. You can dislike the dude's music, that's a matter of personal preference. But to hate his business moves & to wish for its downfall is just jealously & envy.

If he was just Shawn Carter the business man, would there still be such hate? I don't see folks hating on Quentin Primo or R. Donahue Peebles....

Hov the king

black sports agents dont necessarily mean "great agents" :childplease:

:comeon:
you know what he meant mayne. Stop showing how brainwashed you are to automatically make excuses why black power broker like Hov should not make CONSCIOUS efforts to break bread with qualified people who look like him and/or also provide opportunities for qualified people who look like him to gain valuable experience

The harvard business review had an article a couple years back, a research that covers what makes an expert, one of the main points is that experts are made, not born. So given opportunities to fawk up and learn from those fawk up will certainly contribute to making an "expert"

I hope folks realize that Roc Nation is in partnership with CAA (Creative Artists Agency) which represents the Manning Brothers, D-Wade, Sidney Crosby, Jimmie Johnson, Shaun White, etc. They also do film & music touring for just about everybody in the entertainment business. It's not just Jay-Z quoting 99 Problems & trying to pull a contract outta his ass

they not trying to hear you fam..so busy cracking corny rap jokes...damn hov STAY making these nikkas mad:bryan:

A lot of agents are lawyers or accountants, not just some kid off the streets.

Thank you for bringing that for my attention. :beli:

But it's not a requirement to go to law school or have an MBA to become one is all I'm saying. If I was best friends with a athlete I could be his agent if I wanted to. Now if you wanted to work at a big firm then you'd have to get a degree.

Every time an article comes out about an athlete joining Roc Nation Sports, the haters come out. Y'all act like being an agent takes a lot of knowledge like being a doctor or lawyer. There has been successful agents that was doing it while they were still in school.

Aren't most agents lawyers? :what:
