On Tuesday night, Kanye West brought out Jay Z during his concert at Madison Square Garden. The audience lost their simple minds as if Jay Z has been on hiatus for the last two years!
They didn’t act like they see this dude every day. And they damn sure didn’t act like this is the same fool who gypped them out of hundreds - no, thousands - of dollars for tickets to his “retirement” tour.
After rapping a few bars of a corny song Kanye wrote, he raps the opening lines to Oasis’ rock song “Waterfalls” - or whatever the title is. He did this for two reasons: to continue sucking up to the white media, and because he’s one of Hip Hop’s biggest coons, second only to Diddy.
Respected journalist Byron Crawford pointed out the hypocrisy of Jay Z bringing up old news that black folks don’t care about:
First of all, I can’t believe he included that line in the beginning about the guy from Oasis. That shit is old news at this point, let alone when the album comes out.
Every night, Jay Z gets on his knees and prays to the Master that he serves daily - not God - because Jay Z already has that covered. If you listen to his simple raps you’d think he was born in a manger in the middle of Marcy Projects.
Jay Z’s ego is so massive that he can’t fit common sense in edgewise. He doesn’t get it that he is being used as a pawn by the Masters he serves. Or maybe he doesn’t care as long as they continue to put him on display like a modern day King Kong.
In his post on XXL’s blog, Crawford points out that the deal Jay Z signed with concert promoter Live Nation might have fallen though. Says Crawford: “That’s what he gets for chasing every big payday some TI waves in front of that huge nose of his. As if he’s really that desperate at this stage in his career.”

Whatup Sandra! Who cares.. Dude has enough money.. My motto is don’t talk about sh*t unless it is etched in stone
respected journalist byron crawford - who also said
“I could almost see that. The lonely black chicks who read Sandra Rose? Not so much. Just now, one of them dug up a story from the Denver Post from about a month ago about how Morgan Freeman’s wife had been consulting a divorce attorney, because she’d found out the actor had been banging one of her friends.”
on his post on morgan freeman………
hilarious
wow not lonely…’gasp” anywho..say what you will abot Jay but he loses one opportunity another will come along..aint nuthin..as for people losing their mind..it’s one thing to see someone all the time..but jay is known for his rhymes which he hasn’t really done..for him to come out and start spitting is a big deal to his lifelong fans
If you HATE Sean Carter so much .. why is he on your post every friggin day ? ? ?
Whatup Kym,
Cause it is a love hate kind of thing..
Jay Z is nothing like Diddy.
Most importantly, how you gonna give my Tristan Wilds Morning Wood idea to trifling behind M-T-O Sandra? Traitor! They took the idea and wasted it by posting a childish pic of him. He has several sexy pics on his MySpace page they could have used. 19 or not he is a cutie. Yeah I’m a cougar, now feed me dammit!
Oh yeah and another thing. Most people don’t see Jay every day. As much as I love to blog the fact remains that I don’t have one family member, friend or coworker who frequents blogs. So the vast majority of his fans don’t see him unless he is on TV or at a concert.
Hey NYCUTIE !!! .. it’s like cyber stalking .. lol
Is he trying to grow dreds or something WTF!!! Get a haircut JAY!………… SHAWN!!! Cant even concentrate on the post. Let me try reading again
I think business deals come and go for moguls like him. If it doesnt work out, I’m sure something else will come along.
Ok, I didn’t read this particular post but I am noticing that Jay-Z is aging. He’s almost 40 right?
he had a radio interview yesterday and said thats not true the live nation deal is not going anywhere. the line about the oasis thing for all we know he could have recorded the song right after it happened. like he said before these are just my thoughts right or wrong its what i was feeling at the time so if he wrote something then thats how he was feeling. and if its old news or not its something that happened to him so its still a hot line
SR … when it comes to him, Diddy, Bey, Kanye, Halle and a few others you are really over the top. But you would waste time posting about Trick’s wife … come one Ms.Rose .. please do better.
If the deal doesn’t work out for him, I am sure somethign else will come along and to some he is one of the greatest … just because you don’t agree it ok for you to insult him and try to terar him down verbally @ every single opportunity … Ms. Rose please do better.
Why not detail the story behind the pic above … soemthing positive oh no …not on SR.com … always the negative 1st … there is a diff between just being plain ole nasty and being realistic Sandra ….
**** happens. Who knows, he has enough money to buy live nation. Anyways, how come he has to serve the masters. Don’t we all???? especially the government? Don’t we all pay taxes, don’t we abide by the laws and pay tickets that we receive unjust? The only difference is that he gets money, his masters treat him right. While ours stick us in the butt.
You right though how dare he become a businessman, entreprenuer and wiser. He should have stayed a thug, continue to sell dope, so we could watch him eventually get locked up. How dare he sell out? He ain’t black anymore
The title…..Jay-Z may Lose his LiveNation Contract……
No where in this entire post would prove or did you even mention the LiveNation deal was falling apart….
The post from Beginning to End was full of Hate and Envy….
Out the HATE in 08
I am beginning to believe Angel’s crab at the bottom of the barrel comment re SR. SR seems to be filled with hate regarding any other celebrity not attached to Monica and that whole ATL crew.
@ estyle4039 - I don’t want to say it but I think your right …. I always thought SR just gives it truth absolute regardless of feelings but really these post are straight biased and full of speculation
#16 - Ok, I thought it was just me, but I was beginning to feel out of the loop, because the title has nothing to do with the story, right? I’m glad we’re —><— there
This post is just filled with hate. I’m not a fan of jay-z, but this is pure hate.
I swear, its like, you like don’t like very very successful black people. Just think about who gets pub on here…makes sense
Man, Jay Z don’t care about a Sandrarose. LOL She can say ANYthing she wants about him… he won’t even know — or care. lol
Fu/ck jayz! His greed will do him in, damn sellout. It’s no secret i can’t stand him or that sellout wannabe anything but black beyonce (ghetto as/s name). They both are greedy and will do anything for a buck. And i don’t think beyonce is arrogant, but jayz is so arrogant it’s ridiculous. Ugly smug muthafuc/ka. He stay chasin them dollars, and everything think that’s good, but it really just shows you how greedy he is. It’s sickening how people worship that man when he’s not even the best rapper, i don’t care which way you look at it. He’s still riding off his rep, but the nig/ga aint representing and hasn’t for years now. He keep claiming to be the best but selling under kanye, t.i., ludacriss, 50, lil wayne, and even soulja boi.
Jayz is old ugly and frankly i am sick of him. Arrogance is why he can’t sit his as/s down, it has nothing to do with the love of the game…it’s the constant worship he craves, however, he’s doing nothing to deserve it in this day and time. The deals he’s being offered is not based off what he’s doing now, it’s based on his rep from days past and the unfounded worship people still do when it comes to him. I’ll bet white people laugh and can’t figure it out, like why do they worship him, but still they will use him and put him in the forefront since jayz is who people are willing to throw their hard earned money away on.
I seriously just wish he step his game up and show his worthiness, or sit his old crusty, rusty, dusty as/s down…enough of this madness.
Now bring on the folks callin me a hater..Never a hater, calling it like i see it.
Jay-z will never be broke. He could stop it all today and still have enough money to last him the rest of his life, plus his kids. He will always have money being thrown at him for one reason or another. He accomplished the American dream, and is still at it. He got it like that, and good for him, HE BUSTED HIS ASS AND EARNED IT. He has real talent, not like these other bullsh*t “artists” out here now…not to mention a keen business mind. He’s bigger than Solange, Rihanna, TI, Tiny and Trick Daddy’s wife put together!! LOL!! That’s just the way it is and there’s nothin you can do about it. STOP HATIN SANDRA!
How can black people have GENERATIONAL WEALTH, if they get called sellouts for making MAJOR money, Wall Street Fortune 500 money? isnt that where it all starts, from that one great, great grandfather, uncle, brother etc…….
I say DO YA THANG J, It’s the ROC in here!
@Sandra
@Bird
Are you two have a hating on Jay-Z contest???? Jock-in Jay-Z?????

Corporate america is a different ball game. Greed is these dope dealers and rappers that trying to get fame and money at any cost by lying and creating a sub standard.
Unfortunately in order to become successful in business which mean that you have to make profit because I can hear somebody saying that people measure success differently but in business it is only measured by MONEY. Bill Gates has over 50 Billion and so have many other white people and most likely majority of you work for them. You may complain about your job, you may hate your job but yet you conform to their rules even though you hate them.
So how can you hate on Jay Z and Puffy. Yes, they ego stinks but they have accomplished what none of you have and many of you never will. They create jobs and opportunity for others even if it is mainly about them. Justin’s employs people, 40/40 employs people, plus it allows promoters to do these celebrity parties that many black people so worship earn money which in turn allows others to have opportunity, Sean John employs people, Bad boy employs people, etc… So what is the deal with Jay Z being a sell out????? I guess you would rather him do bad and broke. Crab in the Barrell syndrome. Instead of respecting a persons accomplishment you want to find something to hate him on. For the record I don’t care for neither one because they don’t cut me no check, however I admire their drive and work ethic. Some should take notes
mimi08 **** go kill yourself. i cant stand dumb fake hypocrites like you. You stan for the most no talent wannabe white with fake rock songs like ’shut up and drive’ aka rihalien. so who the hell are you to call jay and bey sellouts. **** please.
you just mad that they have waaaaay more money, power, fame, talent, and success than your favorite artists. Just check Forbes.com. Most powerful black couple in music. Now go cry about it hater.
^^^wow..is it really that serious? An opinion is like an as/shole evryone has one…fighting over JayZ and he could really give two shi/ts…wow
