13534, The real issue...
Posted by Quez, Mon Dec-10-01 02:53 PM
Is what effect Jay-Z's fanbase will have on the community (boards) on this site. Remember when D'angelo first joined??? General was always crazy but thats when it became the super-fast paced mess it is now. D'angelo had his own forum then they created OkayArtist which was a mess for a while too then eventually calmed down with all the fanatic bullshit. Thing is... the D'angelo fanbase online is still, for the most part, mature. The Jay-Z fanbase online is not going to be. If Jay had a home here, these boards would be overwhelmed with bullshit fanatic posts. And the bling bling crowd would come in a herd, and could actually scare away the vets. I know i wouldnt want to see it or waste my time arguing with them.

But if Jay is looking for ways to step into a more mature fanbase and slightly change his demographic... like Com did as he got older... then Okayplayer might be a good first step.


Squeamish kids, yall get the eff outta this post (c) Jay-Z
