"Why is Jay-Z so successfull? "


          

I don't get it. Sure he writes nice rhymes (not much that I can really relate to though). So do a lot of other people. Does Jay-Z touch on a common thread that runs through society? Did he play the game smart? How exactly did he become the mogul he is today?
