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

    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.

  • Ms. Brilly

    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

    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! :-)

  • wash ya ass

    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..

  • flawda

    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.

  • brooklyn kid

    who cares.

  • Hi Haters!

    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!

  • http://mark Kay

    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.

  • Melanie

    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.

  • RocNation

    You promoting that website or what??

    im going to buy the Blueprint 3. i think he’s the most inspiring rapper right now.

  • rihrih

    Go HOVA!!He’s hot.

    Haters move!!

  • its the Foosa

    “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!!

  • Horns

    jay-z keepin it 100. “doa” is hot. love the horns.

  • Cutie Pie

    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?

  • Valian Thor

    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 .

  • http://bossip Truth Teller

    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!

  • LibraLibra

    ‘Cause you can’t touch this

  • lilkunta

    @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.

  • lilkunta

    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.

  • chrishawn bellway

    HE’S SO WACK, HE’S DONE NOTHING , BUT ADD PROBLEMS TO THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, WHAT HAVE HE EVER DONE POSITIVE??

  • JK

    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.

  • Hova better reach divorce!

    @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**!!!

  • Hova better reach divorce!

    Is it me or did jay got a lot of haters since he married fake bish bey?? hmhmhm

  • Vegan

    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.
