People are still taking the dinner with Jay-Z over $50K

[invincible1914]

Why would anyone ever hire you period? How you sell yourself is up to you. We are not arguing random what if scenarios. There are a million of those. just like someone could take the 50k and lose it all in a bad investment. Entrepreuners take risk everyday.. some fail, some succeed.. either way the successful never give up. Scared money dont make money.

Man get your lying ass out of here.
Fronting like you P.Diddy

Negged and ignored

If you are on your shyt mentally the dinner is the much better choice.

Nah breh

If you are on your shyt mentality then 50k is a decent amount to invest. How much knowledge do you expect to soak up in a 1-2 hour dinner with a rapper? There is no guarantee that hov will tell you the secret code to being successful, he could tell you a bunch of shyt you could have learned with a few google searches for free.

I know about the ads because you posted the link for me to view....
You should just change your name to Nigerianscammer with the dumb ass shyt you're saying in here

Hey dummy. The NATIONAL media reported on the local ads due to the Jay Z affliation. You dont get cnn and cnbc articles on your business running the ads yourself.

Why are people acting like some random dude showing up at a fancy dinner is gonna walk away set? There's a lot of networking and backscratching that goes on before hand before anything is setup. There are hundreds of other people there and what yall are talking bout goes to donors who have made and/or are making the biggest donation. Just showing up and shaking hands isn't going to get you anywhere. You would do better to take the 50k and donate it to one of his charities or something.

You’d basically be paying $50,000 to have that meeting with no guarantees in return.


Jay-Z won’t even support the artists he signed, Why the fukk would he support you?

What, he does support artist? That's a fukking lie! He supports them Griselda nikkas, he supported Kanye, he supported Beans and the Roc, he freed Lil Uzi from his shyt storm, he got Meek out of ail and he even helped Lil Wayne with his debt. He put J Cole on though he didn't stand to close to him and they may not have had the best personal relationship for all we know, however he gave him the opportunity he needed to get to the next level.

When it comes to Roc Nation he doesn't support every artist on the label cause he is not the CEO and it's a large company. Though he is the founder there he can't handle all the day to day of the company when he has other shyt to do and Roc Nations had headquarters in a few countries. He has hired people to do that stuff.

I'm gonna do that networking and backscratching to get on, simple!

I'm coming with a plan, a business proposal and a slew of ideas. I'm gonna come in there with my shyt together so there is no way he won't be one of my donors and willing to help me. Plus I'm from Brooklyn so he gonna be biased anyway in my favor.

 

[Silkk]

These dudes act like Jay-Z is running a make a wish foundation or some shyt

30 pages in, and everyone is fighting the hypo. It’s a dinner, why are people assuming that w/ an hour or 2 w/ Jay he’d put them on.

 

[Jerz]

If you not a natural born hustler -- that meeting is likely useless to you. If you are a natural born hustler - 50k is useful to you.. Either way - you should run wit the money

You got to have sense, that's not how it works imo. You use the hour or 2 to pitch your idea and to try to win him over so to speak and believe in you. You get his number and information and remain in contact.

If you do it right, that dinner would be the first of many meetings to come.

Jay has been in the game damn near 25+ years. How many stories have you heard about Jay-Z doing something like that? This is what I mean about fighting the hypo. It’s dinner with Jay-Z, not give a business pitch to Jay-z and use his connections.

What you mean, he does it all the time.

Do you research before you talk man. He just doesn't publicize it but he invests in a lot of things.

Looks like he had time to vet all those investments. I didn’t say he doesn’t invest. The problem is people treating this shyt like a pitch meeting when the hypo literally only says it’s dinner. And if I had to bet, 99% of the people saying they’d take dinner aren’t anywhere near as far in development as the stories you cited.

like I said earlier, if the person already has a product developed, other investors, and the infrastructure to take advantage of the meeting, then sure take it. Otherwise just take the 50k.

Yall keep moving goal post. It's about getting interest and getting a follow up meeting where you can get into details. The dinner is an ice breaker. Nobody is saying Jay is cutting a check on the spot. That's what networking is. If you get someone interested you establish a relationship and from there it's all on you.
