It's very hard for people to be great artist while simultaneously being great businessmen. Two different sets of skills. If you are a great artist, you're constantly working on/reinforcing the skills that are allowing you to be great. It's inefficient to spend much time honing skills for something, especially when those skills are opposite of the skills that you have perfected.

With that said, Jay Z got allured into the entrepreneur fantasy. He's a good artist but not a very good businessman. He's also a good hustler, and that brings up ethical questions because hustlers will do just about anything to make a dollar.

In the end, do successful businesses matter with respect to being a successful person and making a lot of money? Look at Trump for the answer to that question.

What bread?

They used his name.

And I didn’t say it was just Anthony.

I'm saying they wouldn't have been able to put it together without him. What Asians are you talking about? But It doesn't even matter because someone made the point I was going to make by posting Rashaun's video. I do like how I never hear anybody giving Jay's team credit when he has success.

The point I was going to make was about the diversity of the venture.

Yeah I feel that, but if we’re giving Nas credit for diversity in his business circle, we have to give Jay credit too.

Where would he be without OG Juan and Desiree?

They’re pretty much responsible for all of his post-Roc-A-Fella moves and they’re Latino.

I agree.
