Today, Shawn Corey Carter turns the big 4-0. And this weekend, he’s celebrating his cumpleaños with friends and family in the Dominican Republic. Mamajuana’s for everyone!
Sidebar: Coincidentally, Rap Radar’s own “Big Homie” turns 29 tomorrow! It’s a celebration bitches!
old heads
Happy B-day, I think this is the end of jigga just aint right to rap when your 40 and your rich.
Time for Jay-Z to find another lane.

YN’s jaw is gonna be real sore by Monday.
Happy B-day, I think this is the end of jigga just aint right to rap when your 40 and your rich.
Time for Jay-Z to find another lane.

Yet, you, me and everyone else wants Dr. Dre’s “Detox”. He’s over 40 AND a grandfather. If your skill set is still up to par, then why not continue to rap. Fuck age, it aint nothin but a #
ok.

CHUUUUUUUUUUUCH!!!!!
*sigh* here we go again on this age limit bullshit. How in the fuck can we rap about No Ceilings and The Sky’s The Limit when niggas keep putting limits and restrictions on hip hop? We’re the only genre of music on that age bullshit. U2, Stevie Wonder, Prince, etc. was still putting out Grammy worthy music after 40. *end of rant*
get off your knees you cockcobblers!
YN will have a pillow on his lap for the majority of the day.

Shit talkin’ from rural Pennsylvania, eh? When u going back to Rhode Island?

happy birthday, Jay. pour a lil out for your haters. God knows their throats are parched of that Pabst.
Everytime there is a post about Jay you get these internet wankstas talking about Jay to old or YN and B.dot sucking jay. These are same idiots from XXL website. I think they are really stans of Jay or they are 50 cent fans and are angry that their hero has started a new genre F & B (Flop and Beef). It’s crazy to see all these clowns continue to hate on Jay and he continues to win, and make more money than all of us. If you like it don’t comment or read the post you knew they were gone post something today. Everybody knows what today is and how old Jay is. Groupies get over it!
what’s so ‘ironic’ about ‘big homey’s’ birthday being tomorrow?
40 is the new 30 thus
what’s so ‘ironic’ about ‘big homey’s’ birthday being tomorrow?

Your right, it’s more of a coincidence than irony.
Rural Pennsylvania, indeed! How ironic! Wait a minute…that word doesn’t fit there! Or does it?! I’m so confused. [/bdot]
You holding the pillow for him B. Dot? Why you sound so hurt? Walk it off homie, you’ll be alright.

Keep ur homo erotic fantasies 2 urself. U see, when it comes to this shit, ur a tourist and Rap Radar is your final destination. My life, YOUR entertainment. I’ll keep creating and reporting. You keep commenting. So in that regard, thanks 4 the unique visit! Now, go churn some butter country boy.
Happy Birthday to Jay-Z…. May He still be the one to show THIS YOUNG PUNKS WHAT THE BUSINESS IS….
Age aint nothing but a number…keep makin grown man music…
Resorted to name calling? Damn man, this a 24 year old man right here ya’ll. What he going to say next, my dad could beat up your dad?
Second time in as many weeks where a comment made by yours truly has not only brought B. Dot in to the thread (despite said comment have nothing to do with him), but brought him out of character (we read the Essence magazine B, we know this Tough Tony shit ain’t you). Funny how easily this guy gets worked up when you start talking ill of his boss.
The best part of all of this is you know nothing more than a general location of where these posts are coming from and you’re trying to tee off. You don’t know where I’m at, what I’m doing in entertainment, or what I’m making in a year. You, however, are an open book. You’re a sidekick making sidekick money. Public knowledge, friend, and if you’d like I’ll make it very public any time you choose.
Your life is most definitely my entertainment in this thread. Looks like a comedy far as I can see…
it’s also Pimp C’s birthday today.
RIP.
YO DUDE IS 40….LIKE CMON SON..HE IS CLOSE TO GRANDFATHER STAGE AND DUDE HAS NOT ONE KID..TELL DUDE TO CHILL OUT THE SPOTLIGHT..ITS A DONE DEAL HOMIE…
DUDE IS REALLY OLD..LOOKS OLD..LIKE HE IS A LEGEND IN EVERY RIGHT…BUT THIS RAP GAME AINT FOR OLD HEADS..LIKE NO MORE BARS AFTER 40..ITS NOT RIGHT AND I HONESTLY THINK HE IS 45..REALLY..NAS SAID HE WAS 37 LIKE 7 YEARS AGO…WHATS THAT ABOUT

This is what i gathered, thus far, of course.
Fact: You’re a faceless Rhode Island college student (Probably Johnson & Wales) and you’re currently LIVE from rural Pennsylvania.
Fact: You visit AND talk, excuse me, type shit about a guy on a website that HE owns. Thanks for the support.
Fact: My spot’s solidified and money’s guranteed. I’ve been makin’ $$$ off this game b4 u could even study for your SAT’s.
At the end of the day, this is pointless responding to an anonymous commenter on a website that I helped launch. By the way, how i look in Essence? I hope your auntie picked it up. Tell her to hit me up [email protected]
The fact that rap has an age limit is the dumbest shit on the face of this earth. Music is music, do it until you can no longer make it great.
Hov is opening the door for the genre to let its legends and vets continue to make great music.
No one told Miles Davis, or the stones that they were too old, only rap is on this shit.
And it never fails, the cats that use ALL CAPS to post their comments, always seem to be dumb as rocks
Fact: Never been to the state of Rhode Island. Couldn’t tell you a thing about it outside of the capital. Not really sure where this one comes from?
I’ll give you some more shit. Went to school in Pennsylvania, established residence here. Making a guaranteed six figure salary to do what I do. Most days, however, I’m able to sit here on Rap Radar and essentially get paid to do it. Ain’t that some shit?
On top of all that, I own a small business that probably generates as much money in a month as you do. The kicker? I don’t work the business, I simply oversee it. Kind of like YN does here. The difference? YN doesn’t own this website, not outright anyway. Contractually, this place was financed. Sure his name is on the paper, but it’s not on the bills. You don’t own things you take loans for, B. Dot. Surely, you know this?
How did you look in Essence? Like you probably look most places: just happy to be there.
Would tend to agree with you Eighty’s Baby. It’s taboo to be an old rapper, which is why so many of the end-of-the-80’s guys disappeared. Yeah, you still get a BDK verse or a G Rap guest spot every now and again, but not like it should be. The crazy part is Jay is the same age as a lot of those guys, he just played the game differently.
Makes you wonder what would happen if Kane and ’em would have had Jay’s mentality. Would they be more relevant now? Who knows, but Jay needs to keep rapping if only to break out of the box that everyone before (and after) has put old rappers in.
If Jay-Z is 40, then Jaz-O has to be 50, right?
Niggas who are 40 or will be 40 within the next 6 months (per Wikipedia research):
Ice Cube (June 15, 1969) – 40 – [can still rap circles around any west coast rapper]
Diddy (November 4, 1969) – 40 – [about to drop a hot album]
Jay-Z (December 4, 1969) – 40 – [nominated this year for a grammy]
Raekwon (January 12, 1970) – 39 – [dropped a hot album]
Q-Tip (April 10, 1970) – 39 – [nominated this year for a grammy]
Redman (April 17, 1970) – 39 – [about to drop a hot album]
Ghostface Killah (May 9, 1970) – 39 – [could drop another album if he wanted to]
if you dont like jay-z, maybe i like him and want him to release more material. think about it, more than 1 million people bought his cd, whenever he flops, tell him to retire then. hova

Your “inside” information is laughable at best. When it comes to this culture, you’re a tourist. A window shopper. The only voice you have is through a comment box, which i can mute at any time. Either way, you can go to any website in the world, yet you come here. It’s clear who takes the L here. As for Essence, you damn right im happy to be there! I would hope u would like to have ur mug seen my millions of women…unless, women isn’t your thing of course.
HAPPY BDAY BIG HOMIE!!!! XOXO
You see, Brian, that’s where you’re wrong. This is not the only voice I have in this culture, it’s simply the only voice you know of. You, on the other foot, are showing your whole hand. After RapRadar, you don’t have a whole lot going on. A false sense of security, at best.
My sources are quite accurate. You want the documents scanned?
man he needs to retire but he dont have to if i was him i would retire becuz its like you got beyonce and rapping is prolly his smallest checc he get in the mail i think he could put his money and energy that can be more profitable than rapping maybe find a nother rhianna
like if niggas got money retiring at 40 is like a complement of sucess but he wont be retired becuz he still going to be in business endeavors but i think its the perfect setup rite now for him to retire he finally got his 1st number one song that was his song his aalbum is doing great numbers he got that guest spot on Oprah that no other rapper could get I think rite now is the perfect time for retirement you know its like When Jordan retired the second time after making that last shot in the championship verse the Jazz thats how we wanted to remember Jordan but he came bacc and the Wizards LOL
I think dude has done enough and there is no achievement he can garner in this rap game anymore
Jay is like a nigga who hit the lottery and still working his 9 to 5 where he could be owning his 9 to 5
Like if he wanted he could sign niggas like Ludacris to one of them 360 deals and collect on everything he do movies and all that shit like Jay,Eminem,Nas dont have to rap anymore but you gotta appreciate that they still do
HAPPY BIRFDAY 2 HOVI BAYBE!
Man jus cuz some1 turns 40 doesn’t mean they should retire…. Personally I rather have an OLD HEAD MAKIN DOPE MUSIK than a YOUNG CAT FUKN HIPHOP UP! So if ur a real HIPHOP LOVER u SHOULD AGREE! Like real shit if ur makin good musik its shouldn’t matter how old u are point blank!

And this is coming from some1 from a small PA town. Please. Yes, Please scan documents, i’d love to see em. Keep visiting.
what u kno bout Mamajuana bdot?! lmao my grandfather got 1 he’s been aging 4 about 20 years. lol D.R. Wadduuppp! (sorry had 2 rep)
Its Hov’s Bday and niggas is online hating on him because:
1. He’s too old
2. He wont diss 50
3. He needs to retire
You niggas are hilarious, I swear.
B.Dot dont even continue to argue with Duke
“A wise man said never argue with fools……”
hmmm…@ know the ledge
b.dot could keep this up all day, joe….you’re responding to him on his website, thus essentially you lose no matter what. your mere presence here, regardless of what you’re saying, spells W-I-N for B.Dot, YN, and Big Homie. if you really wanna stick it to’em…
boycott the site. dun dun duuuun…
LOL! THIS NIGGA IS 40 MAN..COME ON…JUS GIVE IT UP BEFORE U KILL YASELF EVEN MORE WIT UR NEW CHANGED UP STYLE….U HAVE A BAD ASS BITCH IN BEYONCE UR RICH..FUK DA BITCH GET HER PREGNANT HAVE KIDS N CHILL NIGGA…
and as far as Jay is concerned…
isn’t the nigga around 1.5 million, sales wise for the BP3 at this point? with his first #1 single on the charts for several weeks now….?
retire? “i’m doing better than before, why would i do that?”
c’mon sons…who would retire with stats like that. and he’ll prolly get the grammy for BP3 next go round. like garry said up above…when he flops, and his presence is null and void, i’ll be the first in line to suggest a graceful bow out. but until then…
bumps “Thank You”, followed by As Real As It Gets and So Ambitious. its on to the next one…
well i think this is gona set wheather its coo to be a rap superstar at 40 in Hip Hop cuz we havnt had one yet….Dre is over 40 but he aint droppin albums and on tour and shit sooo Jay is the first one…he stil sellin out arenas and shit so why stop….fuck 40 its jus a number….Hip Hop aint at that old age yet where the fans his 50 and 60 goin to the local casino to c ya old timers perform they back in the day shit….we forever young!!
LOOK. THIS POST IS SIMPLY ABOUT JAYS BIRTHDAY AND MORE COMMENTS THAN ANYTHING ELSE ON THE SITE. LMFAO. Love him or hate him, you all MOST CERTAINLY ARE CONCERNED WITH THE NIGGA!! LMFAO. IF YOU DON’T LIKE HIM, WHY DID U CLICK ON A POST ABOUT HIS BIRTHDAY? OH YEAH, THATS RIGHT? U WANTED TO SEE WHERE HIS BIRTHDAY IS BEING CELEBRATED, WHO IS THERE, HOW MUCH IS GETTING SPENT, AND HOW BIG HE’S DOIN IT. LMFAO.
GUESS WHAT. YOU’RE EITHER A STAN IN DENIAL OR A STAN WHO DOESN’T REALIZE IT YET.
SMH.
And Happy Ether day as well……never forget December 4th 2001 lol
OH. AND COSIGN ON THE KAT WHO MENTIONED EVERYBODY SALIVATING FOR THE DETOX ALBUM, BUT NOONE MENTIONING THE FACT THAT DRE IS OOOOOOOOVER 40!!!
MORE PROOF THAT PEOPLE JUST HATE THE BEST AND GO WITH WHATEVER TREND IS POPULAR AT THE TIME (CALLING JAY OLD AND SAYING HE SHOULD QUIT).
IN EVERY SINGLE PROFESSION THAT HAS EVER EXISTED THIS IS THE RULE:
AS LONG AS YOU CAN DO IT WELL.
AS LONG AS YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO CONTRIBUTE.
AS LONG AS IT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
AS LONG AS PEOPLE WANT YOU TO DO IT.
DO THAT SHIT.
FUCK THE HATERS.
ONE MORE THING
RAKIM, KRS-1, AND SNOOP ARE ALL OLD AS SHIT. GO HATE ON THEM FOR A WHILE U BITCH ASS HATERS.
CANiBLOG?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BOTH BIG HOMIES … IM ALL FOR HIP HOP WITH NO AGE LIMITS IF ITS HOT ITS HOT!! LETS GO! SNOOPS NEW SONG IS BANGIN BTW …. “I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW”
JAYZ only got 3 years on me and i’ve been riding with dog since reasonable doubt but truthfully since i heard in my life time on doo wops 95 live, plus i remember jay featured on original flavor back in 93 and i still got that tape and i also member jayz on yomtv raps wit his man at the time jaz-o doing hawaiian sophie. but there is 1 thing i’ll never 4get and thats big daddy kane shouting out jayz in 1988 on the classic song “set it off” and on the classic joint “the wrath of kane.” jayz was mention right after kane said “marley marl-jayz……” so yeah i’ve been a stan forever lol but i did loose interest in jay in 2003 for taking tupac’s beat, that still burns me but “reasonable doubt” is 1 of the best hip hop albums ever created. JAYZ U DA MAN, U CARRIED THE TORCH AFTER THE DEATHS OF PAC AND BIG AND U HAVE SHOWN US HOW THEY WOULD BE LIVING IF THEY WERE ALIVE, CUZ AINT NO WAY IN HELL TUPAC OR BIGGIE WOULD HAVE EVER FALLED OFF.
