ITS FUNNY TO ME HOW SOME RAP FANS WHO USE TO LISTEN TO JAY BACK IN DAY TURN ON HIM AND CLAIM THAT HES WACK NOW OR TOO OLD. DO YOU EVER STOP AND THINK HOW MANY ALBUMS WOULD BIGGIE HAVE MADE UNTIL PEOPLE EVENTUALLY WOULD HAVE STARTED CALLING HIM WACK OR TOO OLD IMAGINE THAT.
MY POINT IS THAT JAY Z DESERVES ALL THE RESPECT FOR PICKING UP THE PIECES AFTET B.I.G PASSED AWAY AND DROPPING CLASSIC ALBUMS FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS.

WEATHER HIS NEXT ALBUM IS AS GOOD AS HIS PAST WORK OR NOT DOESNT MEAN THAT WE SHOULD HATE THE MAN BECUASE NO MATTER WHERE HIS CARREAR GOES IN THE FUTURE HE IS THE MAN THAT MADE RESEANABLE DOUBT AND THAT ALONE SHOULD PROVE TO ANYONE WEATHER OR NOT HE IS A LEGEND.

OF COURSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A NEW GENERTION OF KIDS LISTINING TO HIP HOP AND PROBABLEY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT BUT FOR ALL THOSE HIP HOP FANS WHO GREW UP IN THE 90′S LIKE ME AND REMEMBER WHEN HARD KNOCK LIFE DROPPED AND THE BLUE PRINT ALBUM SHOULD RESPECT JIGGA FOR ALL THE GOOD HIP HOP MUSIC HE MADE AND PROBABLEY STILL CAN.

ANYWAYS NOW THAT IVE SHARED THAT WITH ALL OF YOU, BIG CONGRNATS TO HOV FOR SELLING OUT AND I HOPE THESE PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THAT THERE WITNESSIGN SOMETHING SPEACIAL.

Jay using Em’s line is part the classic sparring with Nas in the song. Quick reference for ya. Remember when nas said, “Em murdered you on your own track”? So Jay used an Em line. Nas takes notice and uses another slick line. Nas, “enemies wanting to be friends and friends wanting to be enemies”. All from the song “success”. Its only true hip hop.

Like he wrote the movie? You must not have read the new york times or seen CNN lately. The producers of the movie approach him and brought it to his attention because he is one of the bigger rap stars. When is the last time your favorite artist sell out Madison Square?

Any concert to benefit any county is expensive. The Princess Diana tickets were $1500 and Live Aid was very costly.

Your last sentence…wow! Do you know the man? Where the money goes? You pretty much the nex Don Imus or Bill O’Reilly…talking out your ass and not understanding hip hop.

I am not even a Jigga fan, but understand hip hop.

Yes, they sold out in 8 seconds , but thats b/c these ticket scalping websites use dialing machines to buy up all the tickets and then turn around and triple the price to sell them. Although I’m certain he would have sold out the concerts on his own, he ain’t do the shyt in that little amount of time!

THE TICKETS FOR THIS JAY TOUR WERE ATLEAST $100 PER TICKET. $100 PER TICKET AIN’T HIP HOP JAY AND I DONT GIVE A FUCK WHAT ANYBODY SAYS THAT IS NOT HIP HOP! JAY SHOULD DO A FREE SHOW FOR THE REAL HIP HOP HEADS LIKE NAS DID.

WTF!!!

Mike Jackson’s concerts can be $100, but not Jay-Z

Madonna’s concerts can be a $100, but not Jay-Z

If I’m not mistaking, didn’t he do free conerts for the Kingdom Come album and flew about 4-6 selected fans with him in his private jet while he did these free concerts.

My nig, this is 2007- shit it cost about $100 to fill up a gas tank in a chevy suburban.

Wanna talk about greed, holla at yo mama and daddy’s health insurance company- dem some greedy bitches.

Hov- MAKE THAT MONEY!!!

A true black gangster flick that rivals The Godfather. having heard the preview of Jay’s album, I must say it’s not even half as good as the flick. He’s really corny for doing that shit.

Then they will have the nerve to turn around and resale the tickets to you and me at a rediculous mark-up. You can keep that.
