  6. IMO says:

    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?

  10. WHAT ?? says:

    @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

  11. Unconform_normality says:

    WOW

  12. I think not says:

    @ the Biggie would’ve been there comment…I think not…with all the shit people talk about Puff ruining people’s career…yeah, okay…

  13. Hov The G.O.A.T. says:

    ”Raising my finger to the critics, raising my head to the sky BIG I did it…”
    Hov keeps winning.

  14. Belize says:

    That really is something!!!

  15. Android says:

  16. yo baby mama's BFF says:

  17. Jayhov says:

    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 wonder how Birdman feels?

  18. Android says:

    No one on DIPSET will ever be on this cover. EVER! NOT EVER!

  19. pissed says:

    Self made BOSS. Thats what im talkin about.

  20. ESCO says:

    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.

  21. ESCO says:

    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.

  22. Fuck Ya Life says:

    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.

  23. Decnent says:

    Atta boy Hov.

  24. Jayhov says:

    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!

  25. pissed says:

    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.

  26. hova da god i should be rappin in a turban says:

    WORLD CAN’T HOLD ME ,TO MUCH AMBITION .. HOVA=GOAT.

  27. JDot says:

    Clap for ‘em..

    Wow, watched the interview that is crazy..

  28. wow...horrible says:

    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.

  29. hova da god i should be rappin in a turban says:

    HATERZ SHOULD BE AFRAID OF WHAT I’M GONNA DO NEXT …………HOVA= GOAT .

  36. MESSAGE TO EM STANS says:

    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)

  37. Jason says:

  38. [...] 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. [...]

  39. hova da god i should be rappin with a turban says:

    CLAP WHO EVER STANDS BETWEEN SEAN AND FIGURES …….HOVA=GOAT .

  40. Young Mo Fo says:

    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.

  41. @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!

  42. xedos says:

    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.
