50k for me this celebrity worship has gotten way out of hand. shyt is pathetic. I'm a fan of Jay Z as a rapper nothing more nothing less. I'm not trying to be his friend or look to him for life or business advice( he wouldn't drop knowledge on me anyway :mjpls:) Lately I've been thinking western society is going to have a major cultural shift or some kind of revolution. We're reaching a point where fukkery and foolishness are the norm.

Jay will just troll you like Steve Harvey's "just do it 10 more times" logic



This is great advice probably the best advice that internet-gurus give..

When you have a set standard like charging a customer for 100 dollars for a product and each product cost let's say 20 to produce/taxes/sell/get to end-user hands. You know how much you will have to sell to reach 1 million dollars in sales or how much you need to personally collect 1 million dollars. Only flaw was his stupid 10x scenario.

Is the 50k tax free?

I got friends who are producers who have done work for big artist, and actually make amazing beats.

So idc.

50k for me really ain't alot of money esp of I'm getting taxed almost 50 percent on it.

There's a strong part of me that says I would rather choose the dinner with Jay-Z. Let me explain:

First, let me preface that even though my username is Hov, yes I was a Jay-Z “stan”, but that was when I first created an account on SOHH in like 2001 lol. I’m 35 years old now - I don’t stan anyone anymore.

Now, I’m thinking this is a real dinner with Jay-Z right? Like a sit down one on one, hour or so over some good food? That’s more enticing to me at this point of my life than 50k.

The most money I have ever made, the biggest checks I have ever had cut, have been because of private dinners, car rides or hanging out with “Jay-Z” like people - now, this isn’t some famous rich person, this is a man who runs 4-5 major businesses, and probably has 100 more we don’t know about, including investments out the ass. I know this because there are people I know that are not a Jay-Z that could change your life with a phone call, so I know a damn Jay-Z can.

I actually run a few businesses and have products that would make more a lot more than 50k if Jay-Z texted one or two people, and a photo with Jay-Z or Obama having a private dinner with you goes across the planet.

Being in big meetings and working with high net worth, I want to let you know that social capital goes a long way. People will take meetings with you and buy product or service from you just because you are associated with someone or have made a mini name for yourself. I’m talking legitimate corporate business, and I am talking from experience.

Also, I keep hearing people say Jay-Z wouldn’t talk business with you, but every successful human I know, stuff just comes up. No, you don’t pitch your damn business idea to Jay and push your mixtape on the side as well, but when the discussion about life, goals, your job or your day comes up, JayZ-like people (people who have money, clout and are super connected) always like connecting people - thats how they stay on top. Not just taking, but giving. You would be REALLY surprised.

Say you want to be a fashion designer and have some pieces. All Jay has to say is “That’s dope. Have you heard of Soho House on 54th Street? No? I’ll shoot a text to the founder Sam Watters, go meet with him tomorrow”, then Jay could forget you ever exist, but Sam Watters gets a text from JayZ to meet with you he is dropping everything to take that meeting, and then mentoring you to grow your brand, which is worth 100x more than $50k.

If you are literally offering nothing to the world, maybe take the 50k, but I think even a janitor could be like “Bro my wife and I started a cleaning company on the side, check this I will clean Roc offices for free” and Jay could be like “Nah, we good but heres Claudine’s number see what she has to offer” and Claudine could get you a 200k cleaning contract - because Jay-Zs friends are billionaires and millionaires as well.

Just some thoughts.

My thoughts still stand
