Can you give me links to where the staff actually said that he was? I must have missed it (sarcasm). Basically all of this started when BKyle was messing with an old photo of Jay and decided to put the Okayplayer logo on the blank black shirt. Just because the Roots played with him doesn't mean he's going to be an OkayArtist. If that's the case, I guess: Outkast, Nelly F, Moby, Living Colour, Roy Ayers, Joe Sample, and Bono are going to be the next artists...

Weak argument.
Jay-Z doesn't need to be an okayartist because he still gets press. How would be benefit from being on OKP with all the exposure he gets? D'angelo worked very closely with Soulquarians, hence that's why he's on OKP.
