Jay-Z is a great businessman, but I'll be damned if he ain't the biggest sellout in hip hop history!

[Stew]

I ain't read that shit but he sold out for the better. If you wouldn't have done what he did you're a dumbass.

 

[Lou Cypher]

tbh I thought it was bad ass that he had a 3 minute commercial. on one of the most viewed events on tv on that day. To announce his album.

 

[t_m_a_c_f_a_n73088]

I would like to hear the argument that yall are going to pose for this niggaz latest move, yes it was very smart and innovative strategy from him and his team's part, but who going trying to argue like it wasn't the biggest sell out move of all?!...

This nigga used a Samsung commercial to promote his new album, to all the dummies that think that this only promotes his album, FALSE! It also promotes Samsung in a major way, basically this nigga has exchanged 1 million copies that Samsung will give to its Samsung Galaxy customers 72 hours ahead of the album release, to basically act as an ambassador for the brand, this album will now also be associated with Samsung, almost like a soundtrack to their product, smh...And go also research about Samsung dealings in Africa and the exploitation that minors go through for pieces of technology for their phones, smh...

How does this nigga and Kanye's friendship even survive after shyt like this? Jay stands for everything that Kanye is currently going against.

Speak on it!

you serious?? 'it was very smart and innovative strategy from him and his team's part' from a BUSINESS perspective, but this is about HOP HIP, guarding its authenticity and standing up for a cause, specially in the position that he now finds himself in, smh...real dissapointing, this camel prolly taking backshots from that faggot exec that got exposed a few months ago.

I wrote an article on this Samsung deal. Check it out leave your thoughts

Jay-Z's surprise announcement of his new album has been coupled with a possibly revolutionary deal. Could it be the way forward for music sales?

Yesterday saw Jay-Z make the surprise announcement of his new album “Magna Carta Holy Grail” during half time of game 5 of the NBA Finals between Miami Heat and the San Antonio Spurs. This was no ordinary announcement. It was made via a 3 minute advertisement featuring Hov in the studio with Rick Rubin, Swizz Beatz, Pharrell Williams and Timbaland, all working on the upcoming album. The release date of July 4th and the fact it was announced at the NBA Finals would usually be the big talking points of the news. However, the biggest surprise of the announcement is the fact that Jay-Z has struck a rather interesting deal with electronics giant Samsung.

Im not usually the kind of poster that will say 'if Pac was alive blah blah blah'...but gotdayumn it, that nigga would have never did no shit like this, not surprising tho, since he was the only one making songs like Keep Ya head up and Brenda's Got a baby...disgust, specially in the position that he is in right now, wow...just getting dug out even deeper by these devils that he clearly worships.

Jay don't owe anyone shit thats what y'all are missing. If anything niggas should be following he's lead. Jay was at the forefront of black artists GETTING THEIR OWN. Fuck your label, I'll make my own. Fuck your clothing, I'll wear my own. Fuck y'all billboard sales and all that shit, I'm gonna eat off me not everyone else. All that shit you talking about w/ africa is dumb. You name me a company and I'll find some dirty shit they're involved w/. Not saying it's right, I'm saying it's life. Rappers like Tyler the Creator are out here making millions while selling a couple 100k records because they've branded themselves. Who was at the forefront of that? And don't talk to me about "guarding hip-hop's authenticity", you're a french montana fan

Scust at you having gay thoughts like that in your head.

 

[MeekMonizzLLLLLLe14]

before anybody gets trolled by the thread starter you have to remember where he is coming from. he only listens to new york rappers that never amounted or will never amount to shit. if you have that papoose or french montana sound and career is in danger of being dead then your "Staying true". God forbid you take an endorsement deal and release a classic album you are really a sellout in international p's eyes. God forbid you try to have a business sense in the game and make as much or more money than the whitefolks dumbing down the music you are a sellout.

Its almost like knocking jordan for taking the deal with nike to have his own brand. Almost identical for tiger woods or kobe or lebron taking huge endrosements for millions but still proving they got game. Jay rap wise is like jordan was with the wizards. Hes not nearly as great as he was back in the day but still can average 20 pts. a game.

But like i said god forbid a new york rapper takes a risk and does a different way to do album promo and it actually works international p will disown you as a fan.

Foh with this French Montana shyt, just to try and discredit my argument, you actin like how Fox News does in regards to blacks...smh, you a product of this type shyt, and your mentality and attitude is dsiplaying this. Jay is in a critical and sensitive position for the progression of blacks, and this is how he's moving? And you biggin him up and saying that nigga's should follow his lead, essentially saying that he's a leader, hell nah, he ain't no leader, his far from it, this nigga is a dependent, kinda leader teams up with such company? The fact that yall are passive and welcoming, its frightening about were we headed, niggaz is ready to drop their jeans to their ankles and get raped by these mofos painted in white or beige, or whatever the fuck they are...FOH

classic international trolling right here. As you see he tries to compare the justified critisizm of stench montana to the unjustified and racist critisizm of blacks on fox news. Those are 2 very different subject matters. Somehow International blames the self degrating and abuse of our own people in hip hop to 1 artist named jay z. Because outside of Jay i guess nobody else talks money, cash, hoes, and kill a negro. Not that jay z has done everything right media wise in his relationship to a beautiful black female beyonce. Its not like jay in 2011 rapped on a song called "murder to excellence" bringing to light an issue in our community that people sleep on. And ask many people living in BK who just got jobs at the Barclays center how jay helping get an arena there ruined their life lol.
