Not interested in this negative shit Jay be spitting, No I.D. did his thing on the album tho. LOL at Jay trying to piggy back the success of friends to gain interest he really is running out of ideas.
I'm 100% this guy is a racist. One of those my best friend is black racist
You came to this conclusion because I'm not loving the new Jay album? wow.
When you say negative shit what are you referring to?
Jay is just giving off a negative vibe TO ME "even when we win we gonna loose"
He's speaking directly about the Black Experience in America? How is this negative?
That a world wide situation in relation to the video black actors in the UK get no work they all go to America because there more opportunities. That's how bad it is here. Preach proving our point the guy is a closer racist
Black actors get plenty of work in the UK and it's not about race British actors in general are going to America because there is a shitload more work out there, trying to label me as a racist just because I'm not feeling the new Jay-Z? provide evidence that I am racist or forever hold your peace.

The BFI figures, revealed on Thursday, looked at the representation of black actors in more than 1,000 UK films over the last decade.
The study found that the number of UK films with roles for black actors had seen little change over that time.
It also showed 59 percent of UK films made in the last 10 years have featured no black actors in lead or named roles.
Other findings in the BFI research included:
13% of UK films have a black actor in a leading role
Only four black actors feature in the list of the 100 most prolific actors
Horror, drama and comedy films are least likely to cast black actors
Crime, sci-fi and fantasy films are most likely to cast black actors
British black actors with the most leading roles in UK films since 2006
Noel Clarke - 8

Oyelowo, whose films A United Kingdom and Queen of Katwe feature at this year's festival, said that his "heart dies a little" whenever he is asked to talk about diversity in interviews.
The actor, whose other films include Selma, Lincoln and Jack Reacher, said he had moved to Los Angeles because of the lack of opportunity in the UK.
"Please stop this talent drain," he implored industry bosses. "You have to change the demographics of the people who are making these decisions.
"You are the curators of culture. You are those who are going to shape the minds of those coming up.
"If I'd seen a film like A United Kingdom when I was leaving drama school, I don't think I would be living in America now."
