why didn't snoop go the business man route?

snoop is a business man... read that forbes article... there's at least 15 fortune 500 companies doing business with the man... not to mention that was in 2010... and then you can read about the 25 million plus he has in the weed business... and that was before it all went legal



the difference in them is jay will put on a suit... tell his boys to stand over there... and yuck it up and smooze with the big dogs, playing sean carter

snoop is snoop... smoke weed, married but still getting at bytches, still rapping bout that pimp shyt, walks around with a literal pimp, and still dresses like it's 1993.


yes he could be jay... but that would ruin his image of being the fun loving weed smoking uncle snoop... which would probably have fans turning on him for selling out anyway... he'd rather just stay himself...

125 million is enough to stay yourself... shyt jay ain't even worth the half a billy he talks about.. jay AND bey are worth that... so really he himself don't have that much more worth than snoop

He is. The man is handing out features like Christmas day presents and last time I checked he got that Las Vegas residency. He even executive producing a show on mtv.

Snoop is getting it the way he wanna get it.

What? They are both kinda similar businesswise to me. The only thing they have been consistently successful at selling is themselves.

Jay's brand is just more popular to certain types of people because he's much more calculated and consistent. Snoop has taken way more risks over the course of his career. Jay has a total of five or six awkward moments in front of a camera in 20 years. Think about it, you can actually count them.

People want to be around Snoop.

People actually want to be Jay-Z.

got his clothing... i think a label... movies and documentaries he puts out... all his vape shyt... a few weed entities... and bout to do that show with martha stewart


for all this, jay the businessman talk... jay really just endorses a lot of products... he does own shyt too.. but not nearly as much as people think... shyt he don't even own his label, roc nation, nor roc sports

Coz his white masters didn't tell him he would be. They told him he'd play the clown role
