If Jay Z was your uncle, would you expect him to put you on?

Or at least help you out if you wanted to pursue a music career.

I saw this interview with one of Jay's nephews who's an aspiring rapper.

EBONY: What have you learned from Jay, and what role does he have in your current music career?

MC: He’s definitely taught me about hard work and dedication. But, he doesn’t have a role in my music career at all. He told me at a young age that if this was something that I really wanted, that I should go out and get it myself. He explained that there wouldn’t be any type of handout from him, which I respect. The things that you earn in life are typically the things you care the most about.


=========

:patrice: breh has a thousand followers on twitter.



I don't know how I feel about that. I can respect the sentiment but at the same time....give the breh a hook up. A lot of the world is build on nepotism.

How do you guys feel about this? Do you respect it (bear in mind dude is making NO noise).?

Is nepotism so wrong in certain situations?

I'm sure Hov would have paid for this dude's college education.:mjpls:

And even put him on, but I have a feeling dude is probably :trash:.

i don't think he'd put me on..... especially seeing that I don't have talent......

now... I have a feeling he'd pay for college


Nah I'm sure he takes care of them. Breh doesn't seem to be doing too badly



And they all have jobs at Roc Nation and Dusse. :ahh:

But they aint get a verse tho :mjpls:

hov needs to cut them a royalty check the amount of times they are bought up.

'got my nephews, pedal bikes because their special' - jay

anyway having hov put him on would bring instant resentment and back then a little skill and real life struggle was needed, im guessing this kid has niether.

The whole do it yourself like I did is kinda fukked up. I get trying to teach them hard work and hustle but not helping at all is extreme.

It's like Bill Gates giving away all his money. His kids must be :pacspit:

I don't think Warren Buffets kids eating like that too

The advice he gave them on Anything >>>>>>>

Dear nephews, I’m writing' this with no pen or a pad
And I’m signing it, ya uncle, ya best friend, and ya dad
Don't look back if you fall and you’re feeling bad
I’m right there from your cut to when you peelin' the scab
If it comes a time when you ain’t feelin' your real dad
Put my face on his body don’t wait for nobody
Don’t follow no nikka, that's ho shyt man
Stand on your own two, do your shyt man
The world is yours, some girls are nice some girls are whores
Don't listen to your crew, do what works for you
Standing back from situations gives you the perfect view
You see the snakes in the grass and you wait on their ass
Bite your tongue for no one and whatever is said
Take it how they want, a closed mouth don't get fed


:wow: He gave them life lessons.
