I think people are mad at their own excpetations than what Jayz actually said/did.In a sense he is right more people has been successful looking up to artist like himself because it showed them you can come from wherever and make it to wherever you want.
What did the civil rights movement do for Hip-Hop exactly? Hip-Hop was started by disenfranchised kids in the Bronx. Civil Rights didn't invest in Hip-Hop they dismissed it. White corporations became involved when it was lucrative but they weren't on equal rights. And now he has so much so responsibilty because he became successful at what they didn't even believe in....miss me with the dof thrug dealer thing because if it wasn't drug dealing/dealers you would have never heard about these great artists and music you guys debate about.
