Jay-Z Looking To Invest In The Yankees

by LYRICALTHOUGHT

FRIDAY JUNE 27, 2008

Despite already having stake in the New Jersey Nets, it looks like Hip Hop Mogul Sean "Jay-Z" Carter may be looking into investing in America's favorite past time, and is looking to buy shares into the New York Yankees.

Along with shares in the New Jersey Nets, Jay-Z also has his sports club franchise 40/40, so he is no stranger to making investments. Just recently, he singed a $150 million dollar deal with Live Nation, as well as an advertising company with Steve Stout.

Jay had also been in talks to invest in a soccer team based in London "Arsenal Football Club" but the deal never happened."I had invested in the Nets, and they (Arsenal bosses) asked me if I was interested in investing. But I get that from time to time," Jay told London's Time Out magazine. "Someone told me yesterday that someone else had a piece of the New York Yankees, 'We wanna talk to you, yadda yadda yadda.' I mean, I love the Yankees so I'm in the middle of following that through, but sometimes it comes to be nothing. That (Arsenal) was one of the times it came to nothing."

Help out with the recession?

You're only bringin' that word out 'cause it's Jeezy's next album. How is Jay supposed to help out with the recession? Hand out the hood checks so they can go buy some J's and a new fitted? The reason there is a recession is because people are saving there money instead of consuming products. When less products are being sold, less people are needed to work. Which leads to layoffs and unemployment.

So step your game up and quit talkin' like you know shit when you just regurgitate what you see on TV.

chiefs, you partially correct but the economy is fucked right now because the war is costing millions every week. Period. While Clinton was in office, we were at peace and the internet blossomed, creating jobs, and erasing the deficit, creating an enormous surplus of over 11 trillion dollars. It's full circle now, less jobs being available sends more people into the military. Gas prices skyrocketing lines the pockets of the oil companys. Every time anything is built in Iraq, Cheney and Bush recieve the contract via Haliburton which further puts tax payers dollars ino their own pockets. It's just good business for those cats, bad for the rest of us. Recession? That depends on who you ask, the Bush family has mire dough right now than they ever did.

this is for everybody sayin hov needs to help out people. dig this shit...

The water crisis in Africa we know Jay helped out with. I believe he helped with katrina victims as well, but honestly we live in a fucked up country (America that is, land of the free..) Hate to say it, but especially if ur black. The recession has to do with a fucked up economy. Fucked up by bush and his bitch ass sendin soldiers off to a losing battle to fight for oil. America prints its own money, but the paper you have in ur pocket is no more than that...paper. It's what it represents in buying power that counts. Shit, mothafuckas used to be able to say "5 regular" and be good for a while. now that gets u a little more than a gallon. the problems in america have to do with the dollar not having as much buying power as it did.

ALL IN ALL my point being let jay do what he does. to my knowledge he never shitted on the hood like 50 did on some "fuck the hood" shit. if he has business ventures set up, let him do it. And do ur research, Jay is paid but there's a lot more people in america a lot richer than jay, so go find out who they are and include them in ur comments about helping people out instead of buyin things..

Damn Jay plotting to take the world over starting with NYC. But someone needs to tell Jay that the Yankees been sucking for like 3 years now. He needs to invest in a team with an actual future like the Phillies. We got Ryan Howard (MVP), J Roll (MVP), Utley(best player in the MLB), etc etc etc. We gon win a World Series in the next 5 years guaranteed.
