Lupe's "flaw" I guess was that he liked the idea of being his version of a lyrical rapper too much to keep making good music after The Cool. The raps remained elite, but he became way too outwardly didactic and didn't focus on things like musicality.
Hov is just too rich😭
Dj Enuff tells the story of JAY-Z paying the radio station to stop pausing his interview for ads. He put his black card on the table & told them to just charge him for what the advertisement dollars cost😭
I had the exact same reaction when someone had me watching that shit....looked like one of them old martial arts movies with the terrible dubbing 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
The revisionist history of the NFL/Kaepernick/JAY-Z timeline is hilariously disingenuous.
- 2016, Kaepernick kneeled after being benched & said he was kneeling due to police brutality. He did NOT call for a boycott of the NFL.
- 2017, Kaepernick was blackballed by the NFL. He sued the NFL for collusion. Still no call for a boycott of the NFL. He was actually trying to play again.
- 2018, Kaepernick still out of the league & begging to be let back in. STILL NO CALL TO ACTION. NO BOYCOTT OF THE NFL OR THE POLICE.
-Feb 2019, Kaepernick SETTLES out of court with the NFL. Still begging to play. STILL NO CALL TO ACTION. NONE OF THE BLACK PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE BOYCOTTED FOR HIM. THEY DIDN’T ORGANIZE FOR HIM. THEY ALLOWED THEIR BROTHER TO BE BLACKBALLED & DIDN’T DO A THING ABOUT IT.
- August 2019, JAY-Z does partnership with NFL. Kaepernick’s wife, Ava, & Jemele Hill says JAY-Z helped the NFL blackball Kaepernick. How???? The partnership was THREE YEARS LATER & AFTER A SETTLEMENT!
- 2019 JAY-Z pressured Roger Goodell to give Kaepernick a workout. Kaepernick didn’t show up to the location, instead he hosted his own workout, & showed up with a slavery shirt implying that the NFL are the massas. If that’s true, WHY ARE YOU TRYING SO HARD TO GET BACK IN? Also, he called the owner of The Ravens a slave master & disrespected Ray Lewis.
- 2026, Kaepernick has NEVER made a call to action. The kneeling was about police brutality but he ultimately did nothing with his leadership moment besides start a foundation that teaches civil rights. He never called for a boycott of the NFL. He never organized a boycott to combat police brutality. & JAY-Z is seen as the enemy instead of the police & the NFL 🤣😭
I’m sorry but I cannot take the fake outrage about JAY-Z and his vinyl with Target serious, it’s hilarious.
I’m really trying to but I refuse to be performative.
where was this energy with the several other rappers in hip hop that did the same exact “deal” ?
Ppl calling an artists doing an exclusive color variant for vinyl a partnership is crazy cause it's not framed that way for any other artists 🤷🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️😒🙄
Did you take it personally when Kendrick, Cudi, J Cole, Lil Wayne, or Playboi Carti put out target exclusive vinyls? If not, you may want to ask yourself why you hold Jay to an entirely different standard of perceived morality than every other Black artist.
(Guys its not about Wemby shaking hands.
Its him refusing to show any respect to the opponent all series, flagrantly fouling them -maybe even trying to injure them- talking shit, choking, losing and THEN not shaking hands.)
