Jay Z was in London, England last night sipping expensive champagne and not giving a damn about his employees who filed a class action lawsuit against him yesterday in a Manhattan court.
What happened to the brother from the Marcy projects? Has he forgotten where he came from and how hard he had to struggle to get there? Don’t you hate people like him who get ahead and forget who they leave behind?
Meanwhile, Jay Z inadvertently boosted the sales of Oasis’ albums when he opened his Glastonbury set with the group’s classic rock hit “Wonderwall”. He intended to mock the group’s front man Noel Gallagher who dissed Jay Z in the London press. But Jay Z’s plan backfired though. According to the BBC, sales of the group’s song has increased 200% and the tune will hit the UK’s Top 100 by the end of the week.

Don’t you hate people like him who get ahead and forget who they leave behind?
No, I can’t say that I hate him or anyone else. Its more than obvious that u have a long “hated him!” list. Is there a positive bone in ur body?
Well I like Jay and Naomi so I don’t have anything bad to say. LOL call me soft but if I like you you can do no wrong in my eyes.
I am so torn when people say they forget where they came from. If the projects in NY are anything like the projects in Ohio I would want to forget where I came from too. Are we supposed to carry the whole hood on our backs. I am all for helping a brother or sister out but the mentality of the people has to change first.
Hmm…I thought the idea was to LEAVE the hood!?
Sandra, YOU still in the hood?…DOUBT IT!
And he boosted a group’s record sales? GOOD! That just goes to show you how much of a ‘brand’ Jay-Z has become; stick it on something and it’s bound to sell!
IT’S THE ROC!
@ Shunda, if Jay Z still had that hood mentality and had babies all over the place, Sandra would still call him a Thug… There’s no winning. I understand the hood shaped him into the person he is now. But geez, stop tryin to knock him down for havin success
Jay looks cute. Acting all grown and sexy!!!
I’m glad that his is a success story. There is only so much you can do for the HOOD!!!
Ladies…I’m not going to be around getting the first comment anymore…my computer is still blocked at work.
Have to come home and visit SR!!!
u are obsessed with Hov this week i see
NOT ONLY DID HE BOOST OASIS SALES BUT HIS AS WELL!
Jay-Z’s headline performance at the Glastonbury festival on Saturday has helped boost the rapper’s record sales.
The rapper’s 2004 single 99 Problems is set to go straight into the Top 25 of the UK singles chart this weekend.
His Linkin Park duet Numb/Encore, which he closed his Glastonbury set with, is also likely to return to the Top 40.

ALL YOU NEED IS A LIL POSITIVITY IN YOUR LIFE SANDRA! IS TI TAKING CARE OF HIS HOOD OR HIS FAMILY? WHAT COLLEGE FOUNDATION HAS HE SET UP TO HELP THE YOUTH GO TO COLLEGE WHO CAN’T AFFORD IT? I LIKE THE WAY YOU PUT A NEGATIVE SPIN ON EVERYTHING THIS MAN DOES! DID YOU KNOW THAT JAY-Z WAS YOUR FAVORITE RAPPER FAVORITE RAPPER?!
Damn Jay-Z helped them increase their sales 200%? Gone then Hov!!!!
IT’S EVEN FUNNIER SANDRA HOW YOU POSTED THE PHOTOS FROM THE GQ PARTY AND DIDN’T EVEN MENTION IT!
Jay-Z hosted a dinner with GQ at Berkeley Square in London as one of his many events. Naomi Campbell and Jimmy Choo attended the dinner also.
Dang! JayZ sells stuff he ain’t even trying to sell….
Hov’s helping Oasis make money is actually the ultimate diss–they wasn’t nothing but some whining bishes they didn’t even pose a problem til Hova put his lips on their tune and resurrected it! Oasis is like a charity case that was complaining and Hov gave them a donation!
Lawsuits are nothing more than a cost of doing business, a necessary evil, the nature of the beast. The man has teams of LAWYERS whom he well pays to deal with these problems. He doesn’t need to sweat and worry about this because it’s already taken care of. One way or the other.
The power of the Hov baby! He shut those bishes up just by OPENING HIS MOUTH and singing their little ditty for a few seconds!! Hypocrits, I wonder if they’ll return the money from the Hov inspired record sales, since they have such a problem with it, or refuse to accept it? NOT! Oasis’ bitter azzes, they can now STFU!
@ Sandra

LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL*LOL
What do you want him to do, get a Fleet of Charter Buses and haul the hood(Marcy tenants)around with him??? Sandra you are in rare form this week! It’s all good!
You know Jay is that dude.
He came. He saw. He conquered. From record sales, to sold-out concerts. That’s my man right there!! Love you Hovi!! =)
Love me some Jigga

Well. Not only did Hov make history at the Error! Hyperlink reference not valid. due to a performance of his mocking version of Oasis’ “Wonderwall”– which he to turned into a dis towards the rock group– but according to a UK website, Hov actually boosted the sales of “Wonderwall,” which is expected to re-enter the UK Top 100 singles chart. This song was released back in 1995. The album from which this single appears, entitled What’s the Story (Morning Glory), has already seen a 200% sales increase.
To add further insult, Hov went from the Oasis dis right to an explosive performance of “99 PROBLEMS,” which was, without a doubt, directed towards Gallagher and whoever else. THIS SINGLE, ACCORDING TO THE SOURCE, ALSO APPEARED IN THE MID-WEEK UK SINGLE CHARTS, AND IS EXPECTED TO PEAK AT A TOP 25 DOWNLOADS POSITION. “ENCORE,” WHICH WAS ALSO PERFORMED, HIT THE UK TOP 40.
Jay-Z’s headlining set went down in history as the most talked about performance at Glastonbury– ever. After talking all that sh*t about hip-hop being at the festival, hip-hop ended up writing Gallagher a fat check, and beat out his group in the popularity category. I have yet to hear a statement come from this clown in regards to this. But what can he say? He’s probably choked up since he was forced to eat his words. On top of being angered that his least favorite genre put some extra money in his pocket.
Looking at the crowd it’s plain to see that Gallagher was terribly wrong. Before you run your mouth, do your homework.
If I make it big I am leaving everyone behind except for my sandrarose family!!!!!
I can’t stand this ugly bast/ard..He is so arrogant now. Everybody say he use to be down to earth. You shouldn’t let money or fame change you for the worst. He has indeed forgotten where he came from, and by that meaning, he’s forgotten the person he use to be, which was probably a better person. He appears greedy and egotistical to me, and i think he’ll step all over others to accomplish his goals. For people like this, i pray that God starts them over, and then, and only then will they see the error of their ways. Everything he got, he didn’t get it from God. The Devil blesses people too. The Devil will give you the world if you worship he and do the things he wants you to do. But on the other hand, he also takes those same people’s lives by bringing their empire to a ruin through corruption or some sort of sin or weakness on person’s part. And he simply moves on to the next person who can garner a large following where he can also get them people to worship a human being, therefore, doing what God has said not to do, don’t worship any human beings…this means our lives. Satan uses people to make God unhappy, and he ropes us in with money, fame, and fortune, and if he can get one person to worship and influence many thousands of people, he’ll continue to bless them so they can do his work.
I’m no longer impressed with Jayz at all, not in the least bit.
@mimi08… I agree with you 100%
I think Sandy really mad cause he has Bey…she know she want Beyonce for herself…(LOL) its not gonna happen Sandra..let it go

HYPOCRITE
First of all I just wanted to say “Walk In Jay’s Shoes b4 you talk smack” Secondly, Sandra you have pointed out previously that Jay is only a partner in the 40/40 chain, but now that there is a lawsuit, it is all on him. As for forgetting where he came from,he reps BKLYN hard. I suggest you get copy of the Black Album and listen to PSA
“ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME, SO EITHER LOVE ME OR LEAVE ME ALONE”-JAY-Z … I Love that dude!!!
