plus it must be said, that it took a white writer to call that album for what it was???? embarrassing the rap writers in jay's pocket community.

First he spends half the article dikkriding him as few people can then he goes on to talk about what Jay-z should do.

Jay-z is too big for music at this point, people won't let him have fun, won't let him diss people for sake of the battle elements of hiphop etc.
He's judged the same way a senior politician is. Which is why I think MCHG gets so much love on the streets, cause he doesn't give a fukk about those people.
He did give a fukk about them in 08-09, but now he's back to arrogant Jay from vol.1/vol.2/vol.3 times but now old people/cacs etc are expecting him to be the new Elton John or some other boring old musician.

The funny thing is how these geek ass Nas stans are now using the same old cac critics who used to dikkride Jay when he was making mediocre/safe BP3 type of music to support their weak claims. While back then they used to say "ahh the fukk does he know, they only respect him for his moves bla bla bla".

The thing is now, they are only not respecting him for his moves. For the fact that he is toasting with Obama, Buffet and them and still shytting on nikkas like it was 98. He's inviting art elitists to his shyt AND getting throwed with Jeezy, Meek and Ross. And of all negative articles, his money, his wins, his friends, his arrogance, ego are the only thing mentioned.

Jay should do this, jay should do that like an elected official.. nikkas should focus on what they should be doing, that dude should be writing social articles instead of entertainment articles about rappers and pop singers.

No ether (or takeover/superugly) there :ehh: Just saying what we've all been saying already - album was trash but still classic. His 12th classic.

The most insulting thing that Jay-Z said in that interview is "there is still a little bit of racism in this country"

Typical response from someone that has completely lost touch with his community and the struggle in general...

But like his Budweiser commercial said "We are finally living out our creed"

:wtb:

The white people that he and his wife deal with aren't an accurate example of whats going on in the field...

Actually i think i would chalk that up to him being from NYC

NYC blacks would often say the same thing..because of the gentrifiedness of it and also its liberal association

Matta fact I wont even chalk that up to being from NYC I'd chalk that up to his new living n sht...but he hasnt rlly lost touch..cuz as much as u want to think that black people are on some black power "fck these crackaz" type sht all ova the nation..trust it aint the case..

Cities like NYC and Phili will agree wit Hov and im talkin bout the people from those areas......it is what it is :manny:

So Black people in New York are house n1ggers?

Or white folks in New York are "better"?

I don't get what you're trying to suggest here..There is no "stop and frisk" policy where I live...

Most black guys in NY(20-25 years of age) are not too keen on history..

Most black guys in NYC will call homosexual persecution(if u wanna call it dat :wtb:) the same as what we went through as a people in the past

Most black guys in NYC have not experienced first hand racism or dont identify many things as racism because like I said...of its liberal association and their whole idea of "ignoring race"

Gentrification plays a role too

So im sayin all this to say..NYC black people because of their living experience have a warped view of america...that is what im saying

And I relate this to Jay's statement to say that his new living experience and the fact that he's like 60 years old..the whites that used to slow shyt up for him on the block and then the drastic change of him being cool with whites as a rich business man will warrant him to say "there is a lil bit of racism"..cuz he's not at that place where he was being held back by the system
