Rafters: Lets end debate. Is Jay Z real?

[HoLLaBaCK]

Real in the sense of he raps what he lived? I'll say yeah to an extent...obviously some of the shyt is pumped up, even when nikkas from his past come out to bad mouth him they always admit he did the shyt he says.

Now as far as real...in a loyal sense. I'll say yeah again...if u play your position.

Bout as real as they come. I'm sure some of his raps are trumped up for entertainment value, but what is not real about Jay? He's been hot since the Streets is Watching vhs. Before that he was top of the underground. He found a lane and owned that shyt. If Jay was fake, his career wouldn't have lasted a quarter as long as it has. Came in like a boss and is a bigger boss now...Jay good.

Klein & Jaz confirmed he was real through hatred

When Jay in 02' still was kind of street

Jaz O: he was soft not really a d boy

When Jay in 09' distancing himself from his street past to move up the ladder in corporate world

Jaz O: in my book u will see Jay was a evil dude that profited off blood money. He is not a nice guy he shyt his brother

Klein coming home

Klein:Jay was a real dude. I took a charge for Jay.

After Jay told Klein to make a deal make sense next time they speak

Klein: he wasn't out there like that

For what it's worth Jay is a real dude. He dropped out of school, got rich(he smartened up, opened the market up) took care of his family and best friends(Emory got it the bin with a business and you know jay broke him off. I really believe Bleek is in his will) not only that he carries himself and acts his age. He constantly gives young rappers game behind closed doors. Plus dude tries to better himself he became a vegan and becomes smarter. Not too many rappers really know about the hall of mirrors in Versailles and feel so satisfied when they look themselves on the eyes. He's real breh
