Vanity Article - Jay Z Casino bid - mentions Al Sharpton, Alicia Keys and Charlemagne (was dame right about Charlamagne)

[L. Deezy]

This vanity article kind of went under the radar. It’s an interesting read. By the way Dame was not wrong saying Charlemagne is being paid by ROC nation. Atleast so it seems.

Jay trying to use celebrity to get this passed was hilarious

Al Sharpton, grubby ass supposed Reverend, politicking for a casino is insane. Religion never backed no such shyt. He was promised a 15 million dollar civil rights museum. Just ridiculous

Trying to get the white senator to meet him and Beyonce and the Senator said for what? Lmaooooo

"All the while, bold-face names continued to join the casino cause ... So did Fat Joe, who introduced himself with his given name and his Bronx zip code: “Joseph Cartagena, 10456.”

The imagery


To summarise the article (if you didn't read), old Broadway money don't want 42nd St to turn into The Deuce again.

Dame is right 99.9% of the time.

But the problem is his approach to telling the truth. The delivery kills the message a lot of the time with him. So even when he’s dropping knowledge, people stop listening because of how he’s saying what he’s saying.

That’s been his issue since the Roc days.

How did no one post the funniest part of the article... which seems like s sentence from a coli post:

"Charlamagne tha God popped by a CAC hearing and expressed his support."
