Remember that pic of Jaÿ Z as an employee at some Pakistani kfc knock-off restaurant from sohh?

No lie, I was expecting a picture of a camel standing next to a chicken restaurant in Pakistan

I was thinking this was the worst camel bait thread title

It's a photoshoot for Blaze magazine.

Repped.

Side note: there was a short period of time when rap mags had graffiti sections...it's refreshing to see DONDI: R.I.P. on the cover.

Was this ever confirmed/debunked? No hate to jay just wondering

How old are you?

I remember Nas stans would use that photo to say Jay worker at a restaurant and wasn’t in the streets before rap

And as we can see on the first page, some of these Neanderthals still believe it

I had this issue but I guess Blaze is relatively unknown compared to The Source or XXL so anyone, especially kids who’ve never even bought a Source wouldn’t know what it was from let alone have read the article.

Blaze was the first magazine to drop a top 50 list. It actually influenced how I saw the hierarchy of hip hop legends since i was so young when it came out.

Damn I miss rap magazines. The source and xxl were the shyt!

Jayz goes (for) broke

 

[re'up]

it's real

it was in a magazine I bought in the 90's, 1999 or so

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

Whole setup was "What If Jay Never Blew" and they had all these pics of him living a normal life and getting his car repo'd

Jay Z is not this interesting. Dude ain’t had an album in 6 years and a verse in almost a year.
