I don’t disagree, but the major issue is that Jay-Z promoted himself as an opponent of the NFL and a supporter of Kaepernick (who also is waiting to get back into the league, also sell-out like). The whole telling Travis not to do the Super Bowl seems underhanded in retrospect.

4:44 was about black ownership and being anti-establishment, which I knew was a rebranding effort, but most people literally bought into it. I have no issue with Jay-Z or his moves, but it’s time to drop the revolutionary charade.
dude went from Frank Lucas to Fred Hampton:mjlol:

Jay is a true capitalist. That's the first thing I had go get passed to even enjoy his music. Second is learning not to make idols out of men. He can make his mistakes and be a hypocrite.... That's all of us. I feel like and many do that Kaep protest is over....

Thing is even if you a Jay Z fan he has literally mentioned this over and over the last 25 years. Jay even said back in the day that he water downs his lyrics for a broader audience.

I am not even a Jay Z fan and I knew what he was about since the early 90s.

"According to the New York Times, the NFL has inked a partnership with the Jigga Man and Roc Nation, which will become the league's new "live music entertainment strategist." With this position, JAY-Z and his team will be asked to consult on the Super Bowl halftime show and bring in high-level talent to perform at league events. Roc Nation will also be involved in the league's key social initiatives."

How is this not a win?

You dudes will complain about not having any power and then complain when we do get in positions of power. Just to complain to complain

In before incoming Tone Talks temper tantrum.

Most people don't understand war strategy and the long game. People too caught up in their pride. I need more details but I'm gonna asusme for now that this is a power move on Jigga's behalf.

Breh I am not even a Jay Z fan. But I am going to give him the benefit of the doubt.

For example he could have had a talk with kap who said. Man do what to got to do. I am done with the league and won my suit. Jay z could potentially take some of the earnings from this deal and donate it to underprivileged black folks. He could be setting up this deal where the league does something in each city for the residents or where kids get some type of benefits off of it.

Who knows everything is preliminary in terms of what the public knows.

shyt folks laughed when Johnny Cochran did that NFL suit. But it helped get more black coaches in the pipeline in the end.

Saying all that I will wait before I judge.
