“Got the Forbes on my living room floor and I’m so close to the cover fucker I want more…”
So that’s what this was about. Congrats to Mr. Carter for gracing Forbes front page with the second richest man in America. You know, light work. Ha! Issue hits newsstands tomorrow. Check out footage of the bigwigs choppin’ it up here.

Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
this aint gonna exactly deaden the “illuminati” shouts
Hov wins.
let the nigga be successful.
Biggie Woulda Been Here Too Man… smh World Is so Fucking unfair…
his a hustler dream !!
I get that people believe in this whole illuminati thing…but why is it so hard to believe that his business sense, deals, and skill got him where he is on Forbes lists, without the help of some magic entertainment cult?
I’m buying 10 copies of this magazine. INSPIRATION.
Biggie Woulda Been Here Too Man… smh World Is so Fucking unfair…
^^
shut THEE fuck up. How many years must he prove himself for you to just let him be him?
Yall really gotta argue about this?
Can we get one halfway positive post without you broke n’s arguing?
-Boney
@IMO I co-sign !!! His career didn’t magically happen, we saw him build up his success from the ground up. People are obsess with that illuminati shit. STOP ACTING LIKE HE DID THAT SHIT OVERNIGHT.
Big up HOV, its great to be in the presence of a successful black man
WOW
Appluad that man!
@ the Biggie would’ve been there comment…I think not…with all the shit people talk about Puff ruining people’s career…yeah, okay…
”Raising my finger to the critics, raising my head to the sky BIG I did it…”
Hov keeps winning.
Congratulations Hov!!
That really is something!!!
Damn Nas lost. But he still>.
Dam this dude makes u really believe u can come from the bottom of the bottom and stay atop! This sh*t aint a no pipe dream. This man be on his grind since 96! Get ya facts straight!! I’m so sick of these “n*gga theories and BS”!!
“I love black folks but I hate niggas! I wish they would let me join the kkk!”-Chris Rock
I think all the Illuminati comments are ignorant. First it was all successful black men must be big time drug dealers.
Now in order for a black man to be successful, he must join some cult?
‘I deserve every blessing I recieve , im from the dirt’.-Best Rapper Alive Unquestionably.
I wonder how Birdman feels?
No one on DIPSET will ever be on this cover. EVER! NOT EVER!
Self made BOSS. Thats what im talkin about.
How exactly did Nas lose?
I think you need to listen to “Friends” on Distant Relatives to know what Nas thinks about this whole being a billionaire and a businessman thing.
As Lupe said, not every rapper wants to be a billionaire.
In fact, Jay-Z is the one who has chased this as much as any man could, that’s partially why he’s in this position, hard work and determination.
A lot of other rappers don’t have the motivation, they come from nothing and believe they are blessed with what they have, there’s no reason to pursue something they’re not wanting to be. The suckas will go for it and fail.
Also, Jay-Z didn’t build his empire alone, so saying that he’s self made is bullshit.
Without trying to stir shit up, in all honesty someone like 50 Cent is self made. Jay-Z is not.
I wonder what Dame Dash is thinking as he see’s this?
Can’t do nothing but applaud this dude’s success, all them other rappers on the bottom of the food chain talking bout getting money look at this cover. That’s a true definition of getting money.
Atta boy Hov.
Hov has always said he’s no role model and he doesn’t like to preach. He just leads by example!
From standing on the corners bopping, to standing on the cover of Forbes mag with Warren Buffet!
i didnt mean self made like he did it himself, I meant self mad like he started out independent and built up from nothing. Thats all.
WORLD CAN’T HOLD ME ,TO MUCH AMBITION .. HOVA=GOAT.
Clap for ‘em..
Wow, watched the interview that is crazy..
It amazes me that people say other rappers are at the bottom because they are not on a cover of Forbes…there are wealthy rappers who are not on this cover but are still successful. Jay has a great PR team because they know that image is everything to those who have nothing that is why you broke stans lose your mind over pics like this.
HATERZ SHOULD BE AFRAID OF WHAT I’M GONNA DO NEXT …………HOVA= GOAT .
Damn do yall niggas know Jay personally?! And @WHAT ?? “In the presence of a successful black man” Damn you chillin with Jay right now huh
@wow….horrible cosign
F*ck a illuminati or whatever. Jay is sucessful and did it the legit way. Clap for him..he deserves it
WHO EVER THOUGHT THAT SEAN CARTER WUD OF CHANGE THE GAME …………HOVA = GOAT
pause
[...] This Is a historic moment for hip hop. CLICK HERE to watch a joint interview with Jay and Warren Buffer that was conducted by Steve Forbes. via -RR [...]
I CONSISTENTLY TAKE THEM OUT THE PARK LIKE KEN GRIFFY …………… HOVA =GOAT
THIS IS MY LETTER TO YOU
WHAT CAN YOU SAY NOW BIIIIIITCHES?
CAMEL IS MAKING MONEY. NOT ONLY DOES HE HAVE THE BEST DISCOGRAPHY IN HIP HOP HISTORY, BUT HE ALSO HAS THE BEST ENTREPRENEURIAL RESUME IN RAP AS WELL.
LOOK AT HIS BODY OF WORK = IT BODIES EMINEM AND NAS. THOSE DUDES HAVE MAD SKILLS — I LOVE THEM BOTH — BUT JAY IS BY FAR THE MOST CONSISTENT. THIS YOU CAN’T DENY.
HOV CAN DO EVERYTHING:
• GRIMY ALBUM (REASONABLE DOUBT)
• LYRICALLY-DOPE ALBUMS (RD, BLUEPRINT 1, BLACK ALBUM)
• POSSE ALBUM (DYNASTY)
• HIP HOP/POP ALBUM (BLUEPRINT 3, IN MY LIFETIME’S VOL 1,3)
• MATURE ALBUM (KINGDOM COME — THOUGH IT WAS MEDIOCRE)
• ALBUM THAT MAKES FUCKING CASH (VOL. 2)
WOW…. inspiring 0_O
[...] Well, we all know a few days ago that the pic of Warren and HOV dropped online. This was what they were apparently doing. There’s also a bunch of videos of them two that you can check out right here. Via YN. [...]
CLAP WHO EVER STANDS BETWEEN SEAN AND FIGURES …….HOVA=GOAT .
J.Cole is where Jay-Z WAS at. Putting out first album near 25 years old, and sharing the experience from a more mature point of view. J.Cole might be the next Jay-Z, you know since Reasonable Doubt was almost not released, Cole may have to put out such a good album that he smacks the doubters with his actions. Well, Hov and Buffet got their money. I would be happy with 1 million.
@WOW…HORRIBLE TELL THEM THE TRUTH!THIS IS PR AT ITS FINEST..THERE R RICHER PEOPLE IN AFRICA,ASIA,INDIA,THAT DONT EVEN CARE ABOUT MAGAZINE COVERS AND SUCH.BUT AMERICA IS BABYLON ALWAYS FLASHING THE WEALTHY TO THE HAVE NOTS,IN DISGUISE AS INSPIRATION…KNOWING DAMN WELL NO MORE RAPPER WILL BE ALLOWED TO BE THIS RICH NO MORE.ITS CLOSED DREAMERS!WAKE UP EVEN JCOLE WILL NEVER BE rich as 5o cent ..this is subliminally letting wanna be rappers to find something else to do because JAY ~Z IS THE CHOSEN ONE!ALL BECAUSE 2PAC OPENED HIS MOUTH!AND RUINED IT FOR THEM…KILLUMINATI!
Clap for him.
Hov had to make tough decisions like getting rid of the ignorant motherfvckers “beanie segal”
To reach this for you cannot have dumb ppl who get arrested every week around you.

You know what it all makes sense now 50 Cent, illuminati rumors, Ex Roc Members, DIPSET how can you be this successful have that much money without burning a few bridges and without making more than a few enemies … YOU CAN’T!!!!
@ Mental control you will die a broke ass motherfvcker. You have low self esteem . don’t try to corrupt others. if you don’t believe in you self keep it that way. I hope you don’t tell your kid that shit.
