Jay-Z said,“I’m offended by that because first of all, and this is going to sound arrogant, but my presence is charity. Just who I am. Just like Obama’s is. Obama provides hope. Whether he does anything, the hope that he provides for a nation, and outside of America is enough.” He continued, “Just being who he is. You’re the first black president. If he speaks on any issue or anything he should be left alone… Of course we want to challenge him to do better. I felt Belafonte he just went about it wrong. Like the way he did it in the media, and then he big upped Bruce Springsteen or somebody.

hip hop is lost when its supposed fans can't even understand the lyrics of the artist
I can understand Tom Ford because he's a dumb cac, he's not going to get it

The song Tom Ford is not about clothing
Jay-Z is basically saying he's always handling his business, he's not doing molly or fukking with any of that bullshyt, he always got his business suit on
getting shyt down

i'm sure breaking down Tom Ford would not stump Tom Ford...it like jay-z is speaking in some ridiculous code. Maybe he just needed to see the lyrics and urban dictionary a couple of things.

90% of stuff goes over people heads on this site till the lyrics are posted. when ya enjoying music especially a radio single you ain't looking at it that hard.


But the point is this needs to be in the race track because the reaching is apparent. Jay clearly ain't make a counterfeit (passing off a authentic) or replica (saying he is copying a design) and Tom Ford ain't stupid. He was joking it up a little with some dry humor that had small elements of truth. Hell, he may not have even looked up the lyrics....he was def playing up to that stereotypical out-of-touch with urban culture vibe as it came to the subject.

Tom Ford's stuff once helped me break the ice with this bad azz receptionist while out on business. Was flipping thru a magazine and told her i liked certain items and asked her who he was and she was familiar with his work. Chick look like a cross between Aaliyah and Zoe Saldana but with a nice phatty on her. i ain't pull but i tried.

as far as lyrics, almost everyone needs help deciphering their meaning. many try to make gibberish lyrics into some kind of profound insight on life.
