This aint the time for a Jay vs Nas thread
Both are venture captialists with established brands out there (Tidal for Jay, Lyft, SeatGeek, Bevel for Nas) and are black men investing in businesses including black owned ones.
both of them
Because the shyt is funny.why yall so negative in here
The tech industry is in a huge bubble because of companies like Uber. A company that doesn't generate profit isn't a good company. Theyre desperately trying to make the company profitable and they're hoping that autonomous driving will make drivers mostly obsolete in the future and they're only investment will be in it's fleet. I work in tech, I'm not talking out my ass.
He won't. And deep down we all know it. First he was friends with Buffett, now he wants to be friends with Zuckerberg, Musk, and Thiel.

If reports are to believed, Jay (and Beyonce) aren't nearly as rich as they'd like you to believe. Mind you, these are "billionaires" with a real estate portfolio that is valued at less than 8M$ and are currently renting.

You sound like you trying to piss in the cherrios of people who actually know this move is indicative of what smug ass Cacs been pulling for decades, and can actually be a platform for talented people of color to get their products into mainstream distribution, or ideas developed into something tangible.
Sounds like you do.
And cacs lost a lot of paper money in the first big tech crash. These companies have to become profitable for him to lock in those earnings. This isn't hate. just the truth. And Jay Z probably won't be investing in many if any black startups.

No hate but Jay's a bottom-feeder to these dudes.
