Mar 9, 2012 - Educate the people that don't know and diminish their ridiculous ignorance about the illuminatti. Jay-Z didn't just go into the rap game trying to "get the money and the hoes", he had a plan and obviously not everything went according to plan, but he was smart enough to go around the adversities and most of all, recognize the opportunities. Selling out? People don't even realize that ONE OF THE core reasons behind the start of rap culture was the pursuit of happiness and success, amongst others!

Mar 11, 2012 - jayz only knew he could make money by exploiting the system... he's only playing the game and is one of the few artists who can restrain himself from doing so
MPCHustle Says:
Mar 12, 2012 - why is Cornell West talking to Jay-Z knowing the shit he rapped about? I swear these black intellectuals are so hypocritical when it comes to their own fucking people. I mean if you want to go against them, do that. I'm sure Cornel West is against gangsta rap, but he's not against Jay-Z? what the fuck?
MPCHustle Says:
Mar 12, 2012 - Billionaire my ass, LOL......he's only 450 strong...don't kid yourself dude. he's not THAT damn good.
