there's a difference between talking about concepts in general of how people should interact and singling out this specific relationship.

old heads usually drop gems in private to you if they're gonna talk about your specific situation.
See here's the thing though, it's different in this case because they are a powerful, influential black couple constantly in the public eye. They are not only entertainers, but role models. That's why he addressed him in public about it....due to their stature, they are a major representation of blacks. A lot of boys and young black men look up to Jay-Z, and a lot of girls and young women look up to Beyonce. They almost have as much influence as Obama and the first lady Michelle with us...if Michelle started carrying herself like that, he would've had some words for Obama too. :ufdup:
if people think she's a thot and he doesn't care then he doesn't need to do anything tho
that's his marriage
No one said he had to do anything. It's advice, not a demand. It's not like he put a gun to his head and said "Cover that bytch up, or else!:demonic:" Did old heads ever stick guns to your head when giving you advice in your lifetime? Nah, they simply dropped a gem and let you do what you wanted with it.

It's kinda like Goodfellas when Uncle Paulie told Harry to go home back to his family when he was shacking up with that side chick, it was advice to be used at his discretion. They had an image to protect, so he suggested Harry do the right thing and church shyt up, because not doing so would bring unecessary negative attention and consequences with it. This is the kind of shyt he was telling Jay. If you have your wife out there dressed provocatively, men will be more likely to try you and step to your wife out of lust along with a lack of respect for your union. It's that simple. Of course, you women these days wouldn't realize this because 1. You welcome the attention, and 2. Don't have to deal with, nor care about the consequences.

There are ways to do things.
Ways to express yourself and still feel sexy and attractive without going overboard.

People today want to justify everything they do and act like it has no effect on anyone or anything.

I asked the question in a thread not long ago:

http://www.thecoli.com/threads/does-clothing-send-a-message-or-not.353468/

A lot of people stated that clothing sends a message about you, and about what you're saying to the world.
Suddenly that goes out the window because it's Beyonce and someone you may not like (Farrakhan) says it?

all i know is that no wife of mind would be parading half naked for the world to see. and no, i wouldn't forbid her to do anything. she would just know where i stand and that i might leave her if i'm unhappy. but the choice is still hers.

now every man has his own values. their own limit. that's their own business. i guess show business is a different animal. Plus she was like that before Jay wifed so it's hard to turn that shyt around all of a sudden. ultimately, i don't think it's Farrakhan's place to tell Jay what his wife should or shouldn't do.
shut yo lame ass up

Beyoncé wears costumes for her job. When she isn't working she is dressed like any other woman. Farakhan is my man but damn he being facety right now.

A lot of people these days are morally bankrupt and have zero self respect and accountability(mostly women)
Talking about "she's her own woman, she can dress how she wants!"

As another man's wife? :wtf: Are you serious? :mindblown:

As I said, they don't care though, cuz women who think like that are the type of women who would be like :queen: if another man stepped to them, in front of their husband or not, and don't give a shyt what happens because of it cuz it'd all be an ego boost. Any man who would marry a woman with that mentality has really fukked up. :ufdup:
Marry women who still want to act single and "be their own women" brehs:russ:

Louis Farrakhan tells Jay Z its his responsibility to keep Beyoncé covered up

Minister Louis Farrakhan, a leader of the Nation of Islam, would like Jay Z to keep Beyoncé covered.

“You have to educate the managers. Jay Z is a good man. Jay Z is a good manager. But now, your woman is on display. Do you want men looking at your woman, being tempted by your woman, to make advances at your woman?” Farrakhan said.

Although he praised Beyoncé as a “creative genius,” he lamented that fact that men treat her like “an object of sex” because of the way she dresses.

“Today you strip the woman of her clothes. How can a man think straight, looking at the beauty of Beyoncé?” Farrakhan asked. “Help us to be more sane. A man is made into a dog by a way a woman presents herself to a man. There ain’t no preacher out there that’s that holy that a woman can disrobe herself and a man can still think Bible, still think Quran. How do you rule a man? You rule him by the beauty of your body and the suggestion of sex. So when you strip a woman down, a man becomes a dog. You don’t make a man? You make him to treat you like an object of sex instead of the creative genius that you are.”

After the interview, Farrakhan took to Facebook with a message for Jay Z to emphasize his point: “To my brother Jay-Z: As much as I love and admire you, I want to see my sister, Beyonce, beautifully covered… You’re responsible.”

Uh, like what's he going to say to Kanye West and Ice-T? :russ:

betonce cant sing tho. its nothing to do with race you insecure fake militant fukkboi. everyone who has ears knows amy winehouse was the most talented vocalist of our generation. of course she was a drug addict. every human ever who had insane talent has mental troubles. the gift comes with a curse. of course beyonce has never done a drug shes a empty headed idiot with no talent. only on the coli have i ever read such bullshyt like amy winehouse cant sing because shes a cac but beyonce can. beyonce is a studio singer. shes awful live. she was an industry plant who needs all the help from studio editing. foh wasteman.
