Come on man, you're smarter than this. Everyone performs balancing acts. Just say you do not like the guy. I wish everyone was like @TheNig who openly admits to hating LeBron. Only on this site is LeBron praised for being vocal on black issues when he says as much as Jay does and does the same symbolic gestures. Contrary to how this board acts, Harry Belafonte's type has always been rare. Entertainers should not be the ones leading movements. The idea that they hsould be is just part of America's weird celebrity worship obsession. This is what Dream Hampton's mouth brought about:

Jay has been getting called a camel for 20 years amongst other things. He had been called a gangster rapper, drug dealer all that. All of a sudden now he care what people think on Twitter?

It all seems too manufactured. He has literally said nothing for years now he feels like it's time to name drop dead black people in a freestyle meant to promote his faltering business venture. While news of his graciousness is "leaked" through a top 5 stan.

The product is inferior, it's deployment was late, and Sean is trying to play on the current black consciousness to keep it afloat. You don't gotta hate or love "Hov" to get that.

Yes he has received a lot of hate but everybody that's trying to takeover does. You can find just as many people that hate Apple, not only on this forum but the Internet as a whole. Jay isn't as special as he thinks.

I don't trust Jay at all because he's too embedded in that corporate World , but good on him for this action
:dahell::dahell::dahell::mindblown::mindblown::wtf::wtf::wtf::dead:
cameL is really desperate to keep tidal afloat. Got his cronies on Twitter "leaking" info.

Why don't he actually speak up when this shyt happens, then maybe he won't have to bail out the protesters :sas2: but we don't wanna anger our corporate friends tho so we just gonna donate on the sly:sas2:

A dikk rider would feel how you feel. naS talks about it but is a c00n at heart. Jay is a stand up dude and puts dollaz on it.
Where is Nas though.?
out winnin shoot outs with "mega cops" :manny:

I'm actually astonished by how pathetic some people are on this board. If you're saying anything negative about this, look in the mirror and realize what a failure piece of scum you are.

So it would've been better for her to say nothing so Jay-Z's racist fans would not know and would keep supporting him. Interesting..... :sas2:

No. This:

Jay Z is a charitable dude. For some reason, though, it's never enough for people who insist if they were him they'd do so much more.
In a previous article I wrote entitled, "Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean Jay Z isn't ultra conscious and charitable" I took time to lay out his deep history of lending his time, influence, and money to causes he believed in.

For the record, I don't know Jay Z, but I am friends with two people who know him well. I have to say that, because any time I take up for the man, folk act like I'm only doing it because he's paying me or I know him. Neither are the case.

However, I see a man, during a difficult time in our country, who knows his place in the world.

It was just revealed recently that Jay Z & Beyonce have been bailing out protestors in Baltimore, Ferguson, New York, and elsewhere.

On May 11th, Jay Z & Beyonce, on Mother's Day, paid for and invited families across the country who have been victimized by police violence, to attend the Prince concert in Baltimore.

In virtually every major protest, Jay Z has sent funds directly to organizations and leaders to help them continue to do great work. As a part of that agreement, he always insists it be kept private because he doesn't want any credit. So blown away by it, it is always the organizations and leaders who can't help but leak the good news.

I actually attended a rally in New York City for Trayvon Martin. It was huge. Tens of thousands of people were there. The moment Jay Z & Beyonce showed up, it sucked the wind out of the entire rally. People went into a trance, stopped listening to the speakers, and just stared at them and took hundreds of photos. It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen.

After making their appearance, they left early. Finally, people started to pay attention again.

When Jay Z shows up, to no fault of his own, the event, the moment, it all becomes about him. Ironically, even though he is chronically shy, hates interviews and cameras, anytime he does show up to do good, people say he is showing off for the cameras.

When he attempts to do work that people cannot see or hear about, people then claim that he is squandering his influence and should be doing so much more. Basically, he's damned if he does or doesn't go public with his good works, but he keeps pushing through anyway.

He's content, as he should be, to fund great leaders and organizations, help people out in their critical times of need, love on families behind the scenes every chance he gets, use his leverage with politicians where he sees fit, and continue running the businesses and operations he is in charge of.

Ultimately, Jay knows his role in the modern movement against police brutality. Maybe, just maybe, if those who spent so much time thinking they could do better than he could, spent more time understanding their own role instead of blasting his, they could actually impact the world.

We'll see.

i just don't get why people need to trust or be a fan of a rappers or celebrities in general to buy their products, when they buy stuff from the biggest crooked corporations in a blink of a eye....

its almost like they feel those artists are scheming and plotting a dark way to get richer and they feel they dont deserve that, but the old, rich as a bytch man in a suit that you never heard about and can do whatever he wants with no backslash since hes not a public figure, ooooh, that guy deserves that!

i just dont get it, no capping tho!
