Jay-Z made the people holding money like a phone feel some type of way

You can say you don't know unless you do know. Hell you got folks on here don't have the money and brag their damn selves in a different way. Its just a way to hate to keep it real. Its not like people really care about if dudes have all these investments and the like its just a way to "justify" hating on dudes. If that's the case why don't you go into all these threads where its post your ________ and ask them for receipts of their diversified portfolios before they post?
Here you go again

That was actually a diss at Fabolous. Fab dropped on 9/11 with Jay Z and bragged about it.

Fab has a line "it's something about the X5/when I pull up it increases the skeo's sex drive..."

A lot of people think that's a random bar from Jay. I'm a Fab stan so I peeped this years ago.
You sure? I always thought that was a shot at Jadakiss. A little while before Jays line, there was a long length interview with Jada and during it he showed off his new X5.

Blah blah blah.

Just make sure you thank NAS for giving the orders.

"To every baby on the album cover existin'
This trend I was settin' it came to fruition
I'm assistin' to push the culture forward
To all my go supporters, go support us
Like a local black-owned grocery store
'Cause in the hood shyt ain't passed down through blood
It's a dub on that
We get government aid
Spend it at they stores, puttin' they kids through college
We need balance, so we can lease and own Ds in our projects
So I'm askin' Gs to go in their pockets
The racial economic inequality, let's try to solve it

My signature fade with the Bevel blade
That's a major key
I told her she smart and loyal, I like that
That's a major key
Start a label, run it, sign yourself
That's a major key
What Tony had on the table
It's like us, we a major key"



Beat sound familiar ?

That was last year brehs.

:wow:

This is not self flagellation, this is satire. The grotesque is done to provoke and shouldn't be understood at 1st level. The meaning is higher than that if one stays at ground level, one is missing the point of the video. If you got hurt by the video, that meant that it did its part and the purpose of discomfort you're feeling is to drive you into improving the situation that the video depicts.

You are correct. It is satire rooted in racism against us that needs to be executed properly if people are going to actually get meaning from it.

If you are a "Jiggy" artist like Jigga Man who's gone on record dissing conscious artists in favor of paper chasing, chances are you probably don't have the ability to deliver this message with any kind of nuance. The whole video is surface level. Who didn't know O.J was a sellout? nikkas need good credit? AND???


I can admit it's jarring, but, I don't get a "white ppl are watching" vibe.

It's Jay-Z. Of course white people are watching. The real question is are WE watching? :dame:

US median household income 56k.
One person making 60k is doing ok in most places.

No one cares about the stuff you make up in your head, I'm talking facts.
The average person has less than 1,000 in savings. The average person also has crippling credit card and college debt. I don't know if I struck a nerve with my post but 60,000 at 30 plus definitely isn't living well. Especially when compared to a 20 year old with half a million net worth.

Trust me, they are ok. I know plenty of people in that tax bracket. That data looks sketchy btw, why are they excluding checking accounts?

And although I don't have any desire to put my own finances on here, it's safe to say you didn't strike a nerve.

No one who knows how to properly save & invest money should ever be jealous of an uneducated 20 year old with a million dollars.

Rappers and football players specifically look incredibly silly when they try to floss too hard. Their careers are so short, what are they going to do when their earning power takes a nosedive?
