Posted by Bossip Staff
Jay-Z has inked another deal. Not with Camel’s, like you would expect, but for big bucks with Sony:
As there has been constant speculation on Jay-Z’s developing label, Roc Nation, the businessman known as Shawn Carter clarifies. The Roc Nation is a deal with Sony and also is in part with Atlantic Records. “Sony is Roc Nation. That’s where Roc Nation’s going through,” said Jay-Z. In relation to his upcoming…More

go Hov!
I love me some Jay but when is he going to really “retire”???? You’re almost 40, married and a millionaire…..time to give it up and have some kids.
JIGGA!……Whatz my mother f*cking name..
Love him xoxoxoxo
Here we go again with this LOSER!!!! F-JAY!!! HE IS SUCH A SELL-OUT. HE HAS SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL, AND IT WILL SOON BE REVEALED…..Anyone that calls themselves HOVA as in JEHOVAH, breaths room for speculation. EVERYONE NEEDS TO STOP PRAISING HIM AS IF HE IS SOME GOD!!! I ASK YOU, WHAT HAS JAY-Z DONE FOR YOU LATELY??? STOP BEING SO DAMN STUPID PEOPLE!!!
That is so big Jay
@ Fee
“Shut yo god dammitt mouth” and get you weight up!
@ITS THE FOOSA>>> You are such an idiot!!! Jocking a ***** that don’t give a ***** about your dumb *****. Stop sucking his di–, and make your own damn money!!! He got his, whether it was through selling drugs to your people, or selling stupid meaningless records. WAKE THE F–K UP!!!
@ Fee
Dont be mad because u are a failure at life. Its not very becoming as an individual. The only thing Hova has done for me is blessed me with countless hours of music to listen to…and for the record, thats all i ask of him.
See, im not like you, im not mad or jealous of his success and lifestyle. IMO, the man worked for it and earned it.
Maybe if you put the type of effort in your own life, your plot in life might change. I doubt it though, cuz haters will always be haters.
He needs to pack it up. He’s had his shine and he should go retire and bask in the glory. He’s old news and only a step away from being irrelevant. He should stop before he destroys the legacy he’s created as one of the greatest.
@ Fee
WTF u talkin about, let him live damn…Why would he go back to the projects? why? what reason does he have to back there? ppl like you hate on him so y would he go back to a place where ppl hate on him
Go head, Jay! For all those trying to force you to retire, you ain’t old…you are just “seasoned in the game”. Keep making those deals!
Please people , Jay Z is done ….. He aint been the same since he kicked DAME DASH out the ROC. Why you think DEF JAM said hell no to him…..JAY cannot run a LABEL….Any great success he had , was due to DAMES business savy…… His best days are done.
moni songs is the biggest groupie on bossip…..
i agree, camel and his big fat lips need to hang it up..he is washed up now!!

Please people , Jay Z is done ….. He aint been the same since he kicked DAME DASH out the ROC. Why you think DEF JAM said hell no to him…..JAY cannot run a LABEL….Any great success he had , was due to DAMES business savy…… His best days are done.
And look where Dame is now…no seriously, I will look on Getty Images
Jay has accomplished more..without Dame
I found 27 images Jay. Some of them not pertaining to Dame Dash at all…mor elike Notre Dame????? Random,1
Random*
@noelle
if your dumb***** think about it. Dame was the genius behind rocawear. he was the one that gave kanye his chance. he was the dude who got the big distribution deal with defjam/rocafella…. All jayz has done since Dame left is sell those companies for more value . the cologne ***** aint selling , his partnership in the NETS is basically NOT , they just used his ***** ***** to run poor people outta downtown brooklyn for the new Arena ( and to bring Lebron there). Jayz is a rapper thats it. Its easy to diss Dame now , but he was VERY instrumental with Jay being as big as he was now.
YeAh… ThAt HoMiE “FEE” iS tRiPpIn’! LoL!!!!!!
@FEE.
GO IN. i got ur back on this thread. i despise that camel coon. he’s selfish, disrespectful, insecure, greedy, ugly ways… hitting black women bc she took a pic of his *****, disrespectful to his mother on national tv. right now he’s eating a ***** sandwich, after dissing al sharpton for calling out the rappers to tone it down against women during the don imus fiasco. this ignant fool gonna say some ish on the american gangster album. him and b media-whoring *****es prolly trying to find a way in to get close to the jacksons now that they have all the spotlight. that what he does. he did it with obama. trying to steal some light. not! msnbc had to call out b for trying to upstage the obamas at the inauguration. i can go on and on.
Do Y’aLl ReAlLy SpEnD uR DaYs CoUnTiNg ThE wAyS pEoPlE dO wRoNg? I fEeL sOrRy FoR yOu.
they were 2 seats away from al and joe at the ebt awards.
I am, or was a huge Jay-Z fan but he’s become quite corney these past 6-7 years. Step your ryme game back up dude. I miss the old Hov. Reasonable Doubt all the way to the Blueprint 1… After that, kinda fell off.
Hov is the man! Damn
@cynthia
if that is really , then WOW …. but HOV was the man..
Jay,Em,50,Outkast,Dr. Dre,TI,Wayne are the only rappers who go platinum now, what’s the point of retiring when he is one of the few bright spots in hiphop. Yall act like anybody else outside the older rappers (Nas,Jay,Em,Kast,Scarface,Common,etc) are making good music.
who cares.
Mr. Carter is the ultimate business man! Dame please! Dame just got his truck and house repo! Dame is not even on Jay’s level!
TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE GLORIFYING JAYZ IS LIKE GLORIFYING SATAN, IT APPEAL TO ME THAT HE HAS SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL, TELL ME WHAT HAVE HE DONE FOR YOU, BUT YOU MAKING HIM RICHER AND RICHER AND HE CAN CARE LESS ABOUT YOU. YOU CAN LOOK AT HIM AND SEE NONTHING BUT SATAN. LEAST ALICIA KEYS GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
Jayz is finished he started caring about what young people are doing and listening to and that shows you how worried he is about where his fanbase is.
You promoting that website or what??
im going to buy the Blueprint 3. i think he’s the most inspiring rapper right now.
Go HOVA!!He’s hot.
Haters move!!
“Can’t y’all, see that he’s fake, the rap version of TD jakes
Prophesizing on your CDs and tapes
Won’t break you a crumb of the little bit that he makes
And this is with whom you want to place your faith?
I put dollars on mine, ask Columbine
When the Twin Towers dropped, I was the first in line
Donating proceeds off every ticket sold
When I was out on the road, that’s how you judge Hov, no?
Ain’t I supposed to be absorbed myself?
Every time there’s a tragedy, I’m the first one to help
They call me this misogynist, but they don’t call me the dude
To take his dollars to give gifts at the projects”
-Blueprint 2-
Hovi Bay-Bee!!
jay-z keepin it 100. “doa” is hot. love the horns.
You **********as are funny, you can tell who’s a true rap fan and who’s suckin’ that big chittlin’ flavored deep south *****!
let me school you bama ***** *****s on a few facts:
1. jay-z came from nothing, made hot ***** albums, started companies, invested his money right, aint “cooned” up a *****in’ TV screen with ugly ***** neighborhood *****s who dont rap or fat ***** ugly babymommas. The ***** is part owner of an NBA team, The ***** sold his clothing company for $204 million, the ***** sold Las vegas 40/40 for $44 million, the ***** was given Rocafella from Def Jam, he’s married to one on the finest, most talented and richest females on earth. The ***** signed a $150 million Livenation deal, Death of Autotunes is the ***** and the ***** will probably make another $100 million this year plus he’s globally famous.
Now lets see what the deep south has done; Lil Wack/wayne sold a milli in a week and 2 milli since then, thats 3 milli big to a deep south *****, he helped ***** up the BET awards, two *****es pregnant at the same time (thats a good thing in the deep south), cant rap worth ***** but still able to sell to ignorant ***** bama *****s. Cant tour outside the U.S. and most of the east and westcoast, sold 3,000 seats in a 20,000 seat arena in Honolulu and that was to stupid ***** deep south military *****s and their fat ***** white ***** wives, Lil scrappy kicked in the door of his sisters apartment and got his ***** beat and stabbed. TI’s in jail, Souljah Boy got his ***** beat during a home invasion by some other deep south *****s. Baby is still wack, hurricane Chris turned the state capitol building into a coonfest………… need I go on?
love 6am
If ya’ll bama *****s werent so stupid you’d look at Jay-Z and try to follow in his footsteps, even if you cant ball on the same level as him, at least try and learn his business model. Rap about something else other than; Your babymomma’s, your car, your rims, your lifesavings in your pocket, your sneakers, the club, sellin weed/crack, your grill, etc. You know theres no evidence a book or education can hurt you.
love 6am
You haters are stupid as Hell if you still say Dame was the master mind behind Rocafella. What Business venture has Dame been successful in since Rocafella? Name one? He needed Jay way more than Jay needed him. Yeah I’m a big fan or Jay’s and yesI wish him and Dame can make amends only because they were such close friends but as far as Jay needing him that’s just stupid..Jay has gone nowhere but UP since they part ways. Jay will not Lose! So haters keep haters, Ya’ll are actually good for his success (and his wife’s) He welcomes all haters. Maybe he will retire one day as soon as someone comes and knock him off the top. Dont get mad cause your favorite rapper cant do it.
@Kay.
Jay has done a lot for Charity, he doesnt go around Glorifying it because that’s not why he’s doing it. His mother currently has a charity that she works with young inner city kids. He gave out scholarships.Didnt he set up a college fund for young man the police in NY killed. Water for the kids in Africa. He probably does a lot more than you’re aware of. Find your facts before you go Blasting someone. What have you done for your community lately?
I love Jigga!!!! And I can’t wait to geet the Blueprint 3!!!
No bull-shiit!
Bama ***** *****s/niggettes should never be asked their opinion unless its pertaining to some bama ***** ***** like “are my pants saggin’ far enough below my ***** for this job interview?” or “how big should my wife-beater be before we go to church?” or “I have a court date tomorrow and i wanna make a good impression on the judge, can you braid my hair?”
love 6am
Blueprint 3 *****s!
cutie pie and its 6am hoo get ou, I still say what have he done for you, and what are you doung for your community, you’ll are the ones that made him rich not me.
Looks like Dame and Jim Jones make comments here. lmao.
Hov is the greatest and way better than lil wayne. he will sell 1 milli first week with bp3. watch out.
Life needs p*****ion.

@ kay,
heres what i do for my community, pay taxes, take care of my *****, got an education, didnt impregnate any fat ***** ugly *****es, my friends and i fund an engineering scholarship for worthy black students at my alma mater UH, respect my peers, dont break the laws and I mentor anybody who’ll ask. Plus I appreciate true artistry (jay-z best rapper alive)and business sense (jay is *****in’ paid!). thats why i go so hard on the deep south, theres no artistry to what they do, thats why you never here from their *****es past two albums unless their name is outkast, TI, scarface or lil wack/wayne.
I hope this answers your question, if not i can go on and on!
love 6am, Oh and jay doesnt have to do anything for me, we eat at the same places, visit the same *****, etc. GOD BLESS AN EDUCATION!
Ohhhhhh say can you seee, by the dawns early light…….
I love america!
its 6am, YOU CAN’T PROVE NONE OF THAT BY ME AND FRANKLY I DON’T CARE, LIKE I SAID YOU THE ONE THAT MAKES HIM RICH NOT ME, CASE CLOSE
who gives a rats *****? he’s a urban cult leader.
an*
@ Kay,
Why even ask a person if your response is that they cant prove it to you? You looking real stupid right now…
GNR!!
Daddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
For those of you who don’t know about Hov,do your research.he is a devil worshipper!
Its 6am remember you the one that pop the question, and my response to you, what do you do, i don’t have to use my energy explaining anything, because the list will go on and on, i said you can’t prove anything by me, at the end of the day, you may have houses and wealth, but you sure can’t take it with you .
Jay-Z is a damn 40 year old joke!
Jay-Z only made that dumb boring DOA because he’s a 40 year old RAPPER trying to make a comeback!Jay-Z is trying to program people into hating “auto-tunes” because he’s trying to sell his brand of hip hop!
Black women aren’t supposed to have the same facial and body features of white women. Black women by nature have thicker body structures and facial features and boing-boing hair. How can you compare an apple to a pineapple? Our experience in the world is different than other races of women and we handle it differently. We don’t sit down and shut up, we stand up and raise up, that’s how all these stars that we’re talking about now got here. Besides, many generations of even BLACKER women in america before us made it so your black *****es could sit here and complain.
I just want to make sure these black and puerto rican black *****s know, you better stop talking ***** about that foundation that grew you, and allowed you to know better, all this dysfunction in black households is due to several hundred years of being a slave cl*****, and we rose out of it, and continue to rise, but the way that we handled that slave cl*****…well my we must’ve done it well because people all over the world are using our black dysfunction slang, and attitudes, so really…we must’ve done it well.
And I, am black, filippino, and creole, but my BLACK make-it-regardless, somebody-say-no-I-say-’NEXT’ culture is the one I appreciate the most, I study history,european, africans, greeks, romans, israelites and such, and from what I’ve seen, you can’t touch an african, you better ask Hammer.
‘Cause you can’t touch this
@jayonce
That pic is weird. Where did it come from?
If they do have kids, a boy having carter’s nose is fine, but the daughter would be made fun of mercilessly.
Wait, arent livenations deals 360 ( all aspects of artists career) ? So how can is cd be distributed thru both SonyBMG & Atlantic? I think carter is lying.
HE’S SO WACK, HE’S DONE NOTHING , BUT ADD PROBLEMS TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, WHAT HAVE HE EVER DONE POSITIVE??
Please Jay will never again have a successful record label, he has to first learn how to promote other artists besides himself. He is like 50 cent, he does not want anyone to be bigger than him.
@Borroklyn Stand Up
____________
I totally agree with you. American Gangsta was a boring ***** album.
Thank you JK he is an arrogant ***** and i use to defend him like these idiots on here. Ya’ll just forgot he just disrespected the real legend MJ at the BEt Awards. He’s going to get Chris Brown’s performance cancel but he does a performance and doesn’t even tribute it to MJ like he was scheduled to do who do he think he is God? I use to support him i’m going to bootleg his ***** from now on.If he so much against woman beaters why did he pay homage to Big Pun on Fade to Black they got pun on camera pistol whipping his wife. He’s a *****ing hypocrit. And Beyonce with her so-called tribute..why couldn’t she do one of MJ upbeat songs and Jay-Z sampled his music but he couldn’t do h to the izzo. ***** the both of them. I was the biggest Jay-Z fan and for those who say i’m hating ***** ya’ll because Jay and Bey don’t give a ***** about their fans all they care about is themselves and money.
first of all i love all of our people but hell i do not have to agree with what they are peddling i missed chris at the bet awards and the show was wack as hell to me the o’jays , maxwell, keshia, monica the tributes but the rest was a coon fest and i am ashamed for the jackson family i though that jay had his own record company oh well let him do what he wants to do but i am telling all of you at these family reunions and family functions all of these dam rappers are going to be left in the dam dust because people are going to be listing to music like uncle charlie, maxwell, guiwine, sweat, and old school and rap music is not good baby making music no more to me just saying.and another thing who cares about anothers money, they are not going to pay none of your bills even if you fell on your knees and begged until you cried, ***** make and keep yourself happy like michael said in his song the man in the mirror, and jay them can’t baby up to the jackson michael was smarter than a lot of people even in death and he always gave and its of public record 39 charties is a lot and when he gets in the g.book thats up there, why do people be quiet about giving and basicly braggs on how much money they have and then how they they are spending it.who gives a dam.
@Nique
Beyonce wants no kids. So how can Jay start a family?
I think he gave up the music in 03 because he thought beyonce starts a fam with him. But she is just a selfish sl**!!!
Is it me or did jay got a lot of haters since he married fake bish bey?? hmhmhm
What a sell out, was not he celebrating being officially independent now he’s right back in the hands of the biggest artist royalties stealing record company. That is just really stupid Jay Z, you could have made history but you chose money.
Jay is the biggest hater that lived, that’s how he has made fame an fortune, he don’t give a dam about Damon who helped launch his career. I have not respect for him nor his gangster music kanye,nas.jim jones,camron have all exposed they way he is a real ***** Mr knowles-Carteras for the BET awards what a disgrace from him an his wife
I love some of Jay z music I could listen to him all day, but I will continue to only buy what I can afford the bootlegged versions, the only person who could have really paid homage to MJ would have been Chris Brown, but I can understand why some people r hating I am a mother so I feel like I would have been mad about it too but let the boy live we all make mistakes, JAY Z has a kid and hide the child what is the difference between a financial father and an abuser nothing reall both of you’ll will leave permanent scars, I KNOW Jay you and Bey need for privacy is bull ***** I say you can hide and buy land you cannot hide and work it, I am a bajan just like Rihanna and I know that she did not take all those blows without giving some, but Jay take care of your own secrets and leave others ALONE you got 99 problems and your ***** aint one, cause if she aint had the status you have(money) you would be incompatible all the DC girls cannot finish a *****ing sentence, I was a fan until I found out she does not write her Lyrics I thought Crazy in Love was a true song from her to you, then Halo, then nothing all phony *****es
I LOVE TUPAC
