1???

I am killin’ em out here!!!

I wanna share this one with GammaRay…we did it!!!

Jay will always stay on top of the game. He’s a busineess man!!! I can’t wait till he hits that billion dollar mark which should be in about 5 years!!

this mans swag is impecable!!

he’s got a tailor problem. never does his suits fit all that well. look at a usher suit drapped and the mess that is put on jay. thus tall men never look that good in suits. it’s always to baggy or the cuts are so messy. jay stick to jeans bra. or find a real tailor

@da darkness

anything to hate on him huh?… stop hatin man damn, just cause you only got jeans dont mean Jigga should wear what you wear, if he got money to pay for bad suits and STILL look better than you let him do so…

Jigga is doin his thing tho, the man is clearly unstoppable, no matter how many people hate….

“Yung Hov, CEO, the next Lyor, NO, the next leader of the whole free world”

no comment on this one, you trifling men, don’t forget to buy your seetie a card TONIGHT to present to them first thing 2morrow morning ♥

I’m not a businessman, I’m a Business,Man Let me handle my business

Jay-z

Jay.. You jus’ keep doin’ your thang… I’m behind you 100%

We all Luv “Aaron”Shawn Carter! lol!

Goddammit!!! Call me Mrs. Camel…you can get it all day long Jigga!

L.A. Reid wasn’t the main one that didn’t want to renew Jigga’s contract. Of couse they cool. L.A. Reids boss, Doug Morris and the board were not willing to pay Jay more money. Def Jam can’t pay him the big bucks if they are still loosing money and laying people off. And t’s not like Jay left they company better off than when he got there.

They still haven’t offically appointed a new CEO and President.

I hope Doug Morris and L.A. Reid hire Andre Harell as CEO and President to rebuild Def Jam.

Keep Rockin Jigga. Definatly respect his swag for gettin money. But you suck as a CEO and President.

The reason why some of you want to see him in jeans is because your not used to dealing with a negro with real money. Real negros with money wear $5,000.00 suits not $50.00 knock-offs. Stick to the boys working the street corner in their baggy jeans. Suits are reserved for real men.

Oh and by the way, most of yall not expected to know nothing about that anyway. Like a said, stick to the boys in the jeans. It’s more on your level. LOL

I love Jay and he is an excellent businessman but being a true leader and CEO is a whole different ball game. When you’re a leader you have to put your peeps first. Not quite convinced that he succeeded in that area.

@asdf…

Tell em’ thats a grown azz man he been there and done that(jeans & streetcorners) check the nucca’s resume…as for his suits Jay is tall 6ft 1 to be exact and lanky so no his suits are not going to fit the same way Usher’s would fit and believe me he wears them well baby…

Say what you want, I love me some Jigga!

I don’t get it with Jayz, all you Jay DI@$ riders can say what you want. He isn’t the best rapper in the game anymore by far. He is business minded but I will never give him the level of respect as a 2-Pac, Big, or hell he can’t even mess with Weezy on a track. Most people who are on Jay’s nuts or either people from New York or kids between the ages of 14-23. They don’t know or remember true rappers. Again AMERICA he’s ok average at best, give it a rest with Hov, Jigga, or whatever you wanna call him. And that’s not hatin just real talk

jAY IS CUTE IN HIS ON WAY.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIS HEAD ???

@yapz

all the members of the ROC weren’t there for 10 years. And them succeeding or not on their own is not the issue. It’s about Jays leadership as an executive. As the President and CEO of Def Jam, Jay was repsonsible for running that ENTIRE label including all the members of the ROC .

Now if Jay is taking money and having meetings to plan for his own album’s, how is that repsonsible when certain artists did not release a album, the entire time Jay was CEO. Jay was too into himself and his “deals” to do his damn job. Plus he was barely in the office on a day to day basis.

If the rumors are true, Def Jam is in a mess right now. Partly because of the amount of money spent on budgets like million dollar videos done by Hype Williams and other expensive costs.

Also Jay was NOT involved in all the day to day operations at Roc- A-Fella Records either. Dame Dash, Kareem Biggs, and others held down the company and managed it while Jay was on the road and off recording his albums. Up until Jay was appointed CEO of Def Jam he was never responsible for other artists careers.

I respect the hell out of his business sense. Mr. Charlie been doin sh*t like this for years at the expense of black people, so why are we hating on Hov? The crabs in a barrel mentality is a large part of the problem in our community.

Reggie Bush needs to contact Hov’s stylist ASAP!

LOLOL dats messed up!

For real -Swag and Whoa are speakin the truth on this one. I’m still going to the concert with Mary.

WUZ UP WIT DEZ SCARFS MY GRANNY USED TA MAKE DEM 4 ME HELLA YEARS AGO AN I HATED IT

CHECK THA NEW KNOCK

“HYPHY WIFEY”

I’m feeling his suit game. @ Da Darkness: 100 percent wrong! That’s a bespoke fit. Check how those lapels lie, and the shoulder fit is flawless (very high armholes). Plus flat-front beltless pants. Believe me, he had this suit made for him, and probably the shirt too (no blousing, very hard to achieve with off-the-rack). The peaked lapels make me think Italian, maybe Brioni. Whoever, that suit is brilliant on him.

Wow. I think I saw a comment about Jay’s suit on here. Seriously, do you really hate Jay so much that you would make an uninformed comment about his suit. Now you want to suggest he stick to jeans. If he were wearing jeans, you would tell his grown a*% to buy a suit. Furthermore, did you ntice the rolled lapels, no belt, perfectly fitted shoulders. Actually my friend, he has on an extremely well fitted suit. I wear a suit everyday for my 9-5, and although I am not wearing $5,000 bespoke suits, I know a good suit when I see one. Maybe you should go get fitted for a suit, then you too will know a good suit when you see one. we are so used to wearing huge clothing that I am not sure most of us men understand exactly how our clothing is supposed to fit.

excuses, excuses, blah, blah, blah. i’ve never seen anyone make so many excuses for falling off, except maybe 50.

Jay-z is wack! he needs to retire, he should be focus on putting out Jada and Uncle Murda, B Seigel

Can you go with me the next time I go shopping? LOL

^^^ What should he do next? Make sure the albums sell too?? Beans just dropped a Dud. Murda needs to smarten up & work on his delivery before someone bodies his ass. So his only hope now is Jada? The point is even if he ghostwrites for them they still might NOT make it..

Ooops that was for Flex. And sac pase my dude…

THIS PIC IS NOT THE GREATEST BUT I FEEL WHAT HE IS SAYIN…I MEAN HEY IF HE DOESN’T WANT TO BE TIED DOWN THEN HE DOESN’T WANT TO BE TIED DOWN…

…HELP!! WHAT HAPPENED TO MEMPHIS BLEEK Y’ALL?? HE HAS HAD LIKE 2 WHOLE SINGES!!! MAYBE HE RETIRED BECAUSE JAY HAS HIM IN HIS WILL…NO NEED FOR HIM TO WASTE $$ MAKING WHACK RECORDS, I GUESS??

there’s a wrinkle in the crease of his silk suit. made and creased in china. wtf?

All ya’ll haters on here are like “crabs in a bucket” trying to hold another nicca down. DAMN! Mo money mo problems……….and haters…SMH

@Swag

What has Andre Harrell really done since he left Uptown didn’t he fire Puffy?

Jay Dame and Biggs didn’t sit around waiting on Lyor Cohen to do things for them they got out on the street and promoted themselves.

The record biz is like any other business your going to look and see can you get a good return on your money. Let’s take Meth for example why didn’t he keep putting out albums while he was doing movies that’s free promotion. When Jay puts out KC around the time that he’s working with Bud, HP and TNT that’s free promotion. Ghost had a book deal that he never completed which would have been free promotion is that Jay’s fault he didn’t do it?

What Label is doing better then Def Jam? from what I can tell downloading is hurting everyone.

Dame has even said that after Jay’s second album that Jay handled most of his on business.

@WHOA!

Damn I remember him being a pretty big star before he met B.

We dont believe you , you need mre people. And your so called “worth” is suspect as hell.

Is it me or does Jay look very Andre Leon Talley in this photo…?

Maybe if any of the artists had material that was worth pushing then there would be no problem. The problem is that very few of the artists out there know how to make a hit on thier own. They have to depend on a “collabo”. If the material is good then the album will literally push itself. The unfortunate thing of Hov is that at his worth he is better than some peoples best effort.

What the deal with the big ass scarf like he is from the UK.

People kill me with that it is more of a trend then keeping warm.

@tati

So much hate you had to go backtoback?

Damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the suit is peace but the match nooooo noooo, i look at l.a. reid and his stuff be on point. Ush his stuff on point. this is still new i like when fellas have the bread to rock fly hicky freeman or even canali etc.. but don’t have the wardrobe be better than you. Women when they walk the carpet same true.

Dame has even said that after Jay’s second album that Jay handled most of his on business.

@ COOP…I am glad he did because neither Reasonable Doubt nor Vol. 1 were promoted well. That is why they re-released Reasonable Doubt in 98 or 99.
