55. "nah, the Jayhive existed way before the Beyhive did" In response to In response to 50
going back to at least 2001, when Nas giving a competent response to "Takeover" and buying a few more years of good faith from his fans shattered the ideal of "unflappable Jay-Z".
"Nas Lost" is propaganda much like other things in Jay's career: the retirement, the "woke/mature" marketing (4:44), the "business man!!" image. reality stands a good distance from perception.
and this is coming from a person who very much enjoys much of the Jay-Z recorded catalog, and enjoys it for what it is.
your boy is Oprah 2.0, with much of the same problematic acts done in the name of capitalism.
