JAY Z : "Why do we get so upset when we, as a culture, want to start our own shyt?"

[FSP]

Its not even about all that. Dude is writing checks that his son has to cash. $500 shoes plus we hadn't seen Lonzo play 1 second in the NBA? I gotta look at you sideways for that cuz.

 

[Paper Boi]

the coli been BBB since day one.

besides corny laker haters.

 

[fdsfa]

jay z looks like hes 60

no he doesn't , he looks his age

stop watching man

 

[FSP]

Did Jay just say he bought 4 pairs and didn't even get the shoes? lol

 

[MalikX]

True but the overall message was that there are too many crabs in our community that hold us back

He used Lavar Ball because he didn't want it to be all about himself but his example with Lavar Ball is the same with Tidal - cats out here really like 'fukk Tidal' 'its too expensive (even though its the same price as Spotify premium) , 'that nikka HOV got enough money he dont need mine' (acting like Apple needs your money )

Apple has $70 Billion Dollars in free cash too

I know nikkas in the hood aint watching Squawk Box though. nikkas love making white men billionaires but, pocket watching black businesses.

 

[Max Power]

You know they sell other shyt apart from the shoes right?

Jay Z Bought Three Pairs Of Big Baller Brand's ZO2s









"LaVar Ball, he said, ‘I’m gonna start my own company.’ Everybody’s like, ‘You should sign to Nike.’ He may go about things wrong. He may have a big mouth. But I bought three pairs. I didn’t get ‘em. But that man has a vision of his own. Why wouldn’t I support him? Why wouldn’t I support him? He feels like he can move culture and his son got a big enough name and a big enough brand that they can do it.


Nike had to start somewhere. Why do we get so upset when we, as a culture, want to start our own shyt? That shyt is puzzling to me. I sit back and I’m like, this makes no sense. Why can’t he start a sneaker? ‘Oh, his sneakers are terrible.’ Remember, I’m not being negative towards anyone. I’ve seen some bad sneakers from Under Armour. I’ve seen bad Michael Jordan sneakers.


Michael Jordan obviously is the greatest. At some point he was selling for Nike and at some point he broke away and he started building the Jordan Brand. I’m sure that was difficult. And I’m sure people at that time, when he was building the Jordan Brand, was like, ‘You playing yourself. You’re gonna leave Nike?’ Man, all due respect, fukk Nike. And I don’t mean personally, I mean like fukk the thing.

Everyone has this reverence towards these things. I’m sure when we walked in and started Roc Nation, everyone looked and said ‘Universal’ or Def Jam. Like, we built the brand. It can happen. We are culture. Nothing moves without us. We just continue to give it away. And it’s cool. Everyone can participate. Nike still works with Jordan. It’s just the nature of our relationship has to change."

Man A LOT of BP will get in their feelings just because you have a different prospective than they do. At this point, you just gonna build with people that wanna built. fukk everyone else. There are just as many Black devils as White devil's at this point in the game.

Yeezy has been saying this for years

Maybe the problem is Jay-z.He has a history of being self serving at the expense of black people.

1.Spent 25 years promoting the drug culture to black people.
2.Spent 25 years letting white people think it was okay to say the word nikka.
3.Was quick to defend G.Paltrow when she said some offensive shyt.
4.Let a russian billionaire use him as a pawn to secure a land deal in Brooklyn.
5.Pretended to be the majority owner of the NJ Nets when he only own 1/15th of 1%.....Then sold his share only one year after the nets moved to Brooklyn.
6.Has attempted to block his competition from eating/shining on many occasions.
7.When he was president of Defjam,he promoted himself more than he did the artist.
8.Tried to guilt black people into subscribing to Tidal.
9.Doesn't let Beyonce work with Rappers who he feels are a threat.
10.Allegedly replaced a Andre 3000 verse that was on a Beyonce song.

Jay-z has a questionable track record......it's understandable why black people would side eye him as a business man.

Yeah, Jay lost me on that one.

Jordan went from being signed to NIKE to being IN A PARTNERSHIP WITH THEM!!

You got to start thinking brotha, jordan owns Jordan brand and he could leave that to his kids....when you signed to someone you just get a check and all you can leave is money behind, no true long term wealth.

 

[Kane1]

it's hilarious because jay left him out to dry when ye really needed support. before he went crazy with all the trump shyt. And now Jay wanna act like Marcus garvey

Nicca please....Kanye been going crazy and Jay has been trying to help this dude for years. There is only so much you can do for someone before you have to let them hit rock bottom so they can get back up on their own. And at the end of the day Kanye is responsible for KANYE

 

[Kane1]

I encourage everyone to watch the whole interview!! So gooooooood!!

Just look thru this post....these crabs don't want that knowledge

The gist of your post assuming you're someone claiming to be black.

U have so much wrong in this post it's crazy

Jay didn't take dre off party at all jay is a huge Andre fan. Andre couldn't do the video so instead he threw j cole(his artist) on the song for the video

Beyoncé has worked wit Wayne, drake, Kendrick Lamar and j cole who else in the rap game is big enough to get on a Beyoncé song fam? Seriously, answer the question

U don't know the financials of def jam so u can't speak on it, cause I sure remember promoting jeezy and rick Ross heavy. Just cause he wasn't willing to throw the house behind washed up LL and dmx doesn't prove your point, cause he promoted ghost face heavy during that time and he did the same for Neyo and rihanna

Not gonna speak on the chatty party shyt about blocking somebody which u had no idea about

 

[GetInTheTruck]

Hov 100% on point. It's crazy how there was such a concerted effort to destroy BBB...actually what's really crazy is how many people lined up to shyt on BBB just because they were "told" to by the media.
