Very well said.

I think people are confusing someone being loud as someone making more of a difference. You want to see a man who is crushing business and entertainment? That's Jay-z. For every whiny 'they took my words out of context' lines we get from Kanye we get major business moves from Jay-z. You tell me what is thumbing your nose to racist white people more....roughing up paparazzi or starting companies that generate millions?

Putting a Black/hip hop face on the gentrification takeover of Brooklyn isn't thumbing your nose toward racist white people...It's doing their bidding for them...

Neither Ye or Jay-Z are a threat to the white supremacy structure of this country...They are both controlled by it...

Jay’s checkered past taught him a few things that he says will come in handy in his new role as a sports agent: “I know about budgets. I was a drug dealer,” he tells Robinson. “To be in a drug deal, you need to know what you can spend, what you need to re-up. Or if you want to start some sort of barbershop or car wash—those were the businesses back then. Things you can get in easily to get out of [that] life. At some point, you have to have an exit strategy, because your window is very small; you’re going to get locked up or you’re going to die.”

While he was growing up, Jay says, “crack was everywhere—it was inescapable. There wasn’t any place you could go for isolation or a break. You go in the hallway; [there are] crackheads in the hallway. You look out in the puddles on the curbs—crack vials are littered in the side of the curbs. You could smell it in the hallways, that putrid smell; I can’t explain it, but it’s still in my mind when I think about it.”

Jay tells Robinson he sold crack but never used it, and when asked if he ever felt guilty about contributing to what was becoming an epidemic, he says, “Not until later, when I realized the effects on the community. I started looking at the community on the whole, but in the beginning, no. I was thinking about surviving. I was thinking about improving my situation. I was thinking about buying clothes.”
