He's not bullshytting about the capitalism stuff. He's talking about group economics like so many before him have. He's wrong, but not for lack of intention.
I agree
Before black people can start talking about group economics we gotta actually get capital.
I love my people, but, it kills me that we think wealth is made hustling.
Amazon and Wal-Mart killing our communities by stifling the growth of small businesses.
Banks are racist. Political are just gerrymandering our demands away. We don't own land to farm. And we have no real media presence that isn't control by a white man.
"Bullshytting" to me is starting at "stop the money phones"
Most dudes doing that are criminals and entertainers just fronting. And most will be broke once whatever lick they have dries.
Group ec00nomics starts with a actual base. Jay wants to impress me; start a political party that addresses the concerns of the average black person.
Again, I believe Jay is a great guy, just misinformed.
You wild on "It's Like That"...that was the joint
CapitalOne
Do You Believe...
the beat, the hook, the video, the vocals with kanye and cassie, everything about it screams it was single to be sold to the masses to sell the album
if "i know" was commercial as you said it is, jay would've made that the second single after blue magic

I was with you until you said "Start a political party."
nikka, anything else on the list you'd like Jay to do?
How bout start a Black section of America, right? 
He's not the king bee of Black people. He is, however, using his voice to move folks' thinking in the right directionHe's at the top of the rap game, has transitioned to major business and is doing a great job of shining a spotlight of the mindset to have once you're tired of the ignorant shyt.

My only point is we have a lot to do before this "save your money" (which we already do more than white people) talk.We need a real political base to protect our economics.
I did not mean Jay-Z has to do it all.

How would "I Know" catch the feel more than "Roc Boys"? There was plot to the song and video.
I'll never get why we think politics is so inconsequential, tho.And the fuuny thing is even if jay did that it still would not be good enough for him

Call me Dad
you are so right breh... i was thinking of another song called Like Thatshyt that's a 10 tracks out of 12 that was pure flames... 1 with foxy was shytty... but the intro was ok, just not jay
i'd call it a classic still
Man the biggest thing is, we've got the GOAT rapper alive and kicking real shyt.
Bill Burr once said you can live past your expiration date. We saw Pac and Big pass at a time where they were in a transition.
We've seen DMX live and turn into something that saddens me as a 31 year rap fan
Imagine if he would've passed during his prime. It would take idol-worship into another level with his work and damien series. But instead, he lived and we saw what happened.
No stan shyt but for real, appreciate what Jay has done. He just dropped a (soon-to-be) classic at this age. He's paving the way for Hip-Hop to grow a la Rolling Stones, etc. You see how Bad Boy is doing reunion tours.
I guess he has to die for nikkas to realize its not Stan shyt. He has been a great representation for the CULTURE. It's because of him that these corporations pay attention now.
nikka been down since before 96. I dont understand the hate. I guess the white boys and whitewashed black kids control the narrative now.
