I’m still all in on the raps.
And I’m never woke enough to make up in my mind what rich dudes are supposed to do to earn my praise for their personal shit. I AM getting to be more focused on how I can’t count on elected folks to do what they’re allegedly supposed to be doing.

35. "all Jay was saying on 4:44 was get your money right" In response to Reply # 32
not sure how it became about Jay and Bey saving Black people or ending racism.
if anything he is saying racism is still alive but you can get a small slice of the pie if you invest in some shit instead of consuming it
now, I know he spent years telling people to consume but I felt like 4:44 was his grown man album.
but my main gripe about the knock people have on 444 is acting like Jay only raps to broke ass black people. A lot of Jays fans are old af with jobs and 401K’s and shit.

47. "see, I thought that republican talking points was a trash take" In response to Reply # 42
dude was saying instead of buying that.. why not buy this?
and he was right.
I know that shit hurts but is it really a republican talking point to tell dudes to stop stunting and start investing?
is that really a bad thing to say?
I’m 40 and some change.. all my people are having the “fellas, where should I put this money? How can I set myself up for retirement? What stocks are you into these days” type convos on the group chats. These were the same dudes on some “where the hoes at my nigga” 15 years ago.
So nah.. I’m not buying that Republican talking points when our people try to talk to each other like fucking adults instead of kids..
seems like all people want to hear is how the man did us wrong and we cant do shit but complain about it.
rant over

its sounds like I'm rich and can invest in paintings. you should too! that's not the same as buying a stock. while the rich people talk is attractive to some, it's off putting to others.
he's was stunting his whole career. just stunting about different stuff.

52. "I mean.. if one cant take his example and apply it to their lifestyle" In response to Reply # 49
thats not Jay’s fault.
its just an example of investing instead of consuming.
I dont think he is telling anyone to buy Dumbo buildings or million dollar paintings. Not sure why anyone would take his raps literally

53. ""What's better than one billionaire?"" In response to Reply # 35
I get why people like that album. I get why ya'll think it's "grown" But no, for me, what's better than one billionaire is zero billionaires. Selling that kind of "aspirational" shit to people when you're "grown" is ridiculous.

Ace of Spade too Tidal benefits Artists never in a million years would we have seen Jazmine Sullivan singing at a super bowel. While I love her not many of my family and friends know of her...
it doesn’t seem reasonable to like his music but dislike the man he’s becoming.

of fame aren't who they normally showcased. they tend to have big timers performing because they hope to get more eyes on the game and show. yeah, good on Jay for that. maybe she got some more streams from it afterwards.
he's doing good things. no knock on that. just the messaging that was mentioned earlier isn't always correct.

and then when he trys to correct it buy trying to kick a little financial knowledge NOW you want to hate him? SMH.
Can't win. The Superbowl stuff was a gaffe and I absolutely hated the young misogynistic, materialistic Jay-Z but I appreciate the dude as the most evolution in one rapper in the course of a career.

that made it THAT far simply because he literally had no blueprint to follow. There was none before him. So of course he's stumbling his way through this shit.
He's going to fuck up a lot.
And there is no right way for him to be black and THAT successful such that everyone is happy.
