@MrShermichael I am guessing you’re not aware of the Kalief Browder story? An innocent black kid that sat in Rikers Island for three years. Innocently. He committed suicide after being released. Even in New York, this black kid succumbed to the criminal justice system. Sad position by you.
🎬♾️ In Chapter Three of JAŸ-Z IN 8, JAŸ-Z revisits one of the most painful stories from his early music. His older brother was struggling with drugs and stealing from their home when he took a ring that had been given to JAŸ-Z by a girlfriend. A girl was there when it happened, adding embarrassment and ego to a confrontation JAŸ-Z says continued to escalate!
“This is my big brother… he stole the ring in front of the girl…it just kept escalating!”
JAŸ-Z ultimately shot his brother in the arm, an act he now describes as being at odds with how he carried himself even during his years in the streets!
“All my years of hustling, I always stayed away from violence. I was a hustler, not a gangsta. There’s a big difference!”
He explains that he never wanted to hurt, embarrass or bully anyone, while also making clear that he wouldn’t allow himself to be bullied. The incident would later become part of “You Must Love Me,” where JAŸ-Z confronted the harm he had caused people closest to him!
The conversation also places the record in a larger context. JAŸ-Z wrote “You Must Love Me” at 27, and Chapter Three explores how putting experiences like this into music became therapeutic for someone who wasn’t naturally comfortable expressing those emotions in conversation!

Jay-Z looks back on one of the biggest “what ifs” from The Black Album era.
Sitting down with legendary producer Rick Rubin for his 8-part documentary series, Hov admits he believes he made a mistake by leading with “Change Clothes” instead of “Encore.”
🗣️ “I almost went to radio with ‘Encore,’ and I remember Kevin Liles being like, ‘The Encore one is the only one I’m on the fence about.’”
“Encore” would go on to become one of the album’s most recognizable records.
