Nothing like garanteed money in this world. 150M...god damn.
Real talk Jigga is cool. But why does he makes rap like hes hustling weight in the streets. When he on some real c.e.o. shit making millions of business ventures. He needs to start some million dollar man rap style...
Not drunk just very tired I am on west coast time!
PS. KEEP SUPPORTING REAL HIP HOP
Great Move, I like what he's doing right here, does anyone one here besides me feelin' the name "Roc Nation"..That shitt sounds Nice
150M....damn.....I wonder where Jay-Z cash stands about now...He's so close to a bill..he has to be.
Whether a fan or not... you can't deny his hustle!
Multi-million dollar deal after multi-million dollar deal!
Damn...he's seriously killin' em. The crazy part is... he never even has to spend any of the money he's made because he's constantly gettin' more and more thrown at him.
How many RAPPERS u know get a $10 million dollar advancementS?
He's doing everything he rapped about doing...which is pretty much getting a piece of everything!
Can't Knock The Hustle!
~Be Eazy!
wiz, that is the one comment of yours that I CAN'T debate...
unfortunately...
this dude is STANKY rick...He gon DIE tryna spend that shit...lol
I think Hov is at his best when he on dat street shit.
Dat grown man Kingdom come shit was boring.
Do it for da hood nigga!
^^^^but he not in the hood so why should he endorse it Rap about shit youre doing cuz we all know he aint in the hood pushin weight and holdin heat. He in the board room closing million dollar deals
shit this means we have at least 4 more albums comin.... i wonder if he'll really do that many...... my prediction is 2 more: one this year when he turns 39 and one next year right before he turns 40.... but no matter what he does he'll still be the G.O.A.T...... ITS HOVA BABY.......
How can he be the Goat?
Did u forget about Pac and Big
Even though Jay would rap circles around Pac. His music aint no where near as good as Pac's
Yeah many songs can U right about closing Million dollar deals?
Maybe ya square ass wanna hear some bullshit like dat. I dont wanna hear about no black cards....good credit and such....Fuck dat
I wanna hear about what happened back in 89' in Cambridge maryland when you was bringin in them things for dirt cheap!
I know dats not positive but it's entertaining.
When I watch an episode of "Cops" I dont wanna see them giving out tickets or helpin old ladies wit groceries.
I wanna see em chasin crack heads and bangin out wit felons in the middle of the street!
negativity is much more entertaining
^^^^money da don

DAMN DUDE I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT ANY BETTER!!! I mean music is a form of entertainment right? If i'm board as hell listening to a track, what's really the point..
and yea cops would REALLY be BORING AS HELL if they was walking around giving out parking tickets and what not..lol
just like rappers rapping about the NY stock exchange is not AS entertaining as some other topics..
In my opinion we need rappers who talk about politics and such cuz I don't ALWAYS wanna hear about hustlin and shit ya know?
When budden named his mixtape series mood muzic that helped me understand something. I listen to certain songs based on how I feel at that moment. All music is MOOD MUZIC!
Thats why I can't knock the south AT ALL!!! Because the form of music they typically produce is NEEDED in the game..
I don't ALWAYS wanna hear political street rap from cats like saigon and NAS, SOMETIMES I need some music to ride to, SOMETIMES I need some music to wild out to, or get crunk or whatever the fuck people call it..
Basically I can't knock JAY either, BECAUSE every form of music is VITAL to the game..
Sometimes I want to think, Sometimes I want to get ENTERTAINED...
Thats why I'm waiting on C3...
jay z iz filfty rich
stanky rich...lol
I like how you switched it up(hope that was not a mistake)but leave classics, Classics. "I'm Still spending money from 88".
I bet yall niggas aint uo on that Dead presidents 3
LOL!I MEANT 88! forigve me but im drunk
ok yea my b son. did not see the comment underneath... i'm pretty fucked up myself....
CoSignin^^^ "I got blood money, straight up thug money. That brown paperbag under your mattres..Drug money..You got show doe..little to no doe. Sell a bunch of records but you still owe doe. I got 996 plus 4 mo doe." Imaginary Players...Jay-Z at his best....One luv
M-Extra know what it is! Let me get it in too. "Ayo, what's the difference between a 4.0 & 4.6? Like 30 to 40 grand, cocksucka', beat it!"
anyway shouts out to dat the bigga figga nigga Jigga. He stay on the come up and true to dat real Hip-Hop......
HE RICH BITCH!!!!!!!! (HONK HONK)
i can only imagine where Pac would be...
=Cam=
True... I feel you....R.I.P Tupac Shakur & B.I.G...
They literally died to pave the way.
pac and Big would damn near be billionaires if they were still living.^^^^^^
would they???? jus because they were legends doesn't mean they got the business skills...Nas a legend, and doesn't even have as much cash as 50...
But Big was becoming a hell of a business man
Dont cha understand dat Jay is carrying out alot of the things that him and big used to dream about?
Yeah, you right on the money 'bout Nas...main man has no business sense whatsoever. As for my man 2Pac & BIG, I believe Pac would've made the majority of his wealth outside of the rap game, like in movies or somethin'. I think BIG would've taken the rap game to a whole 'nother level, similar to how HOV did.
well what more can i say but chi-ching-chi-ching
jigga is made of money....damnnnn
while lil ignorant niggaz like the dipset are throwin shots at jigga, he just stay on his bullshit making smart multi-million-dollar moves....he aint got time 4 them clowns
he gone be the 1st rap billionaire...but dont rule 50cent out of the race 4 that title..."first hip-hop billionaire"
i think if BIG and PAC was still alive, jigga will still be the wealthiest rapper (RIP BIG and PAC)
ur on one if u think Jay would be successful than Pac...first off Jay would of had to go WAAAY harder if Pac or Big were still around, he aint that type of rapper, never has been...not saying that dude aint hot, Jay got hella skills, but no one would believe Jay as a THUG or a straight HOOD NIGGA...HUSTLER, yes, but compared, he wouldnt of stood a chance with Pac or Big...i would have to say Pac would be on top, not being bias cause im from the west coast either, but Pac was a natural leader, u dont just get called Black Jesus for nothn...Big would have been right up there too, he had the luv of the people, especially from the ENTIRE east...but i think those two would have been the first billionaires...could say a lot more but we got dumb niggas in here that r illiterate, so u got to keep it within so many sentences so their brains don’t star hurting when they see 2 or more paragraphs...
=Cam=
correction...*start hurting*
=Cam=
Not wealthier than B.I.G.!
Big had a Record label and a clothing line before he died!
And in case u forgot....Jay was his Lil Homie in the game.
Big and Pacs death essentially opened up the door for Jay to become a household name.
If u think back to when Jay's career started, his debut was Reasonable Doubt. And even though the album was critically acclaimed, commercially it was a fuckin flop. The Mtv crowd that embraced Biggie and Pac didnt give a fuck about a Jay-z.
And after that He really tried to use the Puffy formula. Like the "sunshine" video wit the Ferris wheel and the fruity lookin clothes on and the fish eye camera lense.
He really didnt have much of identity around that time. He really didnt blow until he dropped That hard knock life shit and the got the Mtv crowd on his side with the little Orphan Annie sample.
If Big had been livin all those years Jay would have been to B.i.g. what Beenie Sigel is to Jay.....Second Fiddle
^^^yep...
=Cam=
He did say he was the "Billy"G.O.A.T.
"I'm on my way to billy, you still dreamin on a milly"
Roc Nation does sound cool...10 mill in advance for a minimum of 3 albums? The dude's gettin easy money there...I just hope he starts promoting artists properly so Def Jam will regret losing him. R-O-C 4 LIFE.
im the biggest jay-z fan first and foremost...but i dont want anymore jay-z cd's...for real...he needs to leave after this last while he's on top becuz i know this next one will be great...no more albums jay...leave on top...
Jigga man toooooooo nice to not put out another 1,2,3,4 albums.
Please Jay, No more albums!
jjay playing his cards right
This nigga keeps getting blessed. It's like he at the card table and steady getting winning hands.
JAY-Z IS A NIGGA THAT U GOT TO RESPECT BECAUSE THAT NIGGA KNOW HOW TO GET THAT BREAD FO REAL!!
Jay needs to write a autobiography because the only thing that follows jay is success and you can't deny and hate that he knows how to make moves and grab opportunities when they are available.
onlr reson jay rich is because he do ileegal shit
"No more Big Willie my game is grown prefer u call me William"Hova da boy stay grindin for dat big paper.
jay is serious wit his business man. plus he top 5 all-time rappers. u mix that wit 150 million dollars and not to mention 10 million dollar advances for his cd's...this is a very good move for him and hip hop...roc nation, i luv that.
damn mind on da money and money on da mind
The way yall talk about the next nigga money I wouldve sworn yall signed the deal shits funny to me
Congrats to that nigga
what my nigga jigga in 13 figuers now
"I'm not not a businessman, I'm a BUSINESS mannnnnnn"
150mill damn, might as well put j on the million dollar bill!
CAN I GET 900,000 hov?
this dude is STANKY rich...He gon DIE tryna spend that shit...lol
Damn Jigga got money like Whoa!
i hope he still thinks hes broke that way we can here some reasonable doubt shit instead of whatever that last one was called b4 ag
Damn, jay is a shrewd ass business man.
I wish all the crybaby artists on def jam would stop bitchin about him like he mismanaged them.
Its clear he handles his shit with nothing but money on his mind.
*ghostface killah*
*big doe rehab*
Big Doe Rehab and Free At Last shud've went platinum...I don't kno whos faught that was.
Big Doe Rehab and Free At Last shud've went platinum...I don't kno whos faught that was.
What do expect from a guy who "Turned crack rock into a chain of 40-40's."??? Takin over corporate America, thats GANGSTA!!
10 Year Deal!?!? I Jay should be trying to retire right around now, not sign a new deal for 10 MORE YEARS! Then again, I'd do the same thing. If Jay puts out an album, it's guaranteed Gold. People are going to buy his shit, regardless of where he is or how old he is. I can't be mad. Do ya thang Sean Carter.
If anything this nigga Jay is an inspiration to us all. This nigga came from the hood to rappin to a rap all-star to a Hip-Hop Icon to a music icon to a damn business icon. This nigga is out there movin mountains. Big ups to my nigga Jay-Z keep shinin so a nigga like me got something to keep lookin forward to.
"Stop thinking small, get out there and raise the bar...LOL"
TAKE DAT LL,CAM,DIPSET,JENNY JONES AND WHOEVER HAD A PROBELM WITH HOV.FUCK YA'LL.
That nigga hov know how to get to that money... TRUE Hustler..

That5 wut5 poppin But rocK nation?? lMao.. datz BrAzY!!
damnnn son got money out tha ass, thats some expensive shitttt (no homo)
jay is the G.O.A.T
the deff of success from marcy projects to the 40/40
from selling crack to selling records
He has been holding it down in the industry for more than a decade. comes with hit singles and good albums
Like him or not, HE BEEN THE G.O.A.T
and u kno he would of shined if big was still around..cus he was his man
he looked up to big. they would have motivated each other to get this money. They had the same dreams and goals, so they prolly would have been business partners and kicked dame out lol
real talk
he never cease to amaze. the man clearly has a nack 4 getting cash. just got to respect that. i do however wonder wat is dame doing right now? lmao!!!
jigga is a savvy dude. he knows how work the boardroom and the streets better than anybody in the game. that's why he is as successful as he is. now he has to basically start over from scratch as far as the new label goes.
SOME IS GONNA HAVE TO BUILD A WHOLE WITH AROUND HOV AND TIE HIM UP IN CHAINS TO STOP HIM FROM USING HIS BRAIN you gotta luv it
peace
Jay get props for dat. its always good to see other people trying to do better for themselves. I can't wait to see what comes out of this
HES A true BUSINESS MAN
Jay is my favorite rapper, anyway, I know people gone slay me for it, but he is, and this is just another notch in his belt, I watch people who are successful because there is a reason they are and because I wanna be that, so big ups to Hov, congrats my chief, and since he about to get a label he need to sign me and let's go digital, because cats ain't buying record out the stores anymore, Gully...
Hov gettin that paper. I'm just confused as to why he's still going to be recording more albums. I think that right now, he's one of the top rappers in the game. I see no point in us watching his falling off in the next three albums. Who knows? He may get better. But chances are, he's going to lose his gangsta mentality and start recording more Kingdom Come's. And we all know how that went for him. I just think he should sail off while he's still considered one of the greatest.
the roc is the richest label in tha rap game
lmao.
Im wit ya man ....but wut does he do for the hood.?
And on the other hand his bitch is rich as hell.....and yet dem dumb nigges don't do shit for the mufucking hood.....
