Jay-Z…. one word Fucking Brilliant!
Let me breakdown this masterpiece.
Some perspective:
New Jersey Nets were planning a move long before JayZ was added to the equation. Moving to Brooklyn would have been a political nightmare for those in charge of the team.
-Bring in JayZ. One of Brooklyns great sons. He gets 1% stake in the Nets. In return, he becomes the public face of the team. His presence on the board helps ease an upcoming PR storm
-JayZ gets all huggy with the Governor. Earning himself and his ventures political goodwill.
-Oprah & JayZ get TV time in Marcy projects. Again to boost the PR situation while also giving JayZ an opportunity to promote his album. Like I said there has been a lot of opposition on the ground to this development.
-The JayZ family visits the White House. Yes, JayZ stock going through the roof. He is becoming the face of New York
-Beyonce Knowles-Carter opens a cosmotology rehab school in Brooklyn. She is crowned a ‘Brooklynite’ by the mayor or someone and gets press proper coverage. Conincedence? Hell fcuking NO!
-JayZ attends the Atlantic Yards groundbreaking ceremony. All happy talking about his youth and blah blah and his love for Brooklyn
-All these activities slowed down the political resistance to this move.
Best believe that these people play CHESS. That real shit.
Gotta luv it.

Well said
BTW JAY Z IS NOT A MASON:
They use him to promote them & giving him money for this promotion
BUT I can confirm he is not of them.
Masonnery requires to be smart and reading a lot of things and jay z cant even spoke a word without saying “You know” like a non educated goon
He hanging with some of them but one they will find a new one to promote their movement they will give him up just like they do for Tupac & other stupid rappers.
I feel bad for those who are impressed with his achivement
all he has done is taing money from the people taxes & dealing drugs he is not a business man neither a politician he is just an international drug dealer protected by some masons
the masons he is promoting
OLD JAY DA CONRBALL DONT BELONG TO THE MASONNERY AND WILL NEVER BELONG TO THEM
“Really who gives a fuck if jay is a mason or not? Homie is just helpin his community.”
THIS IS NOT WHAT I CALL HELPING THE COMMUNITY = HE IS A TAXES STEALER BILLIONNAIRE BUT HE REAMAINS A TAX STEALER AND A DRUG DEALERS WHILE MANY PEOPLE ARE STRIGGLING TO FIND SOMETHING TO EAT
IT THIN THIS IS DISGUTING / STEALING OUR MONEY AND THEN BRAGING ON AN ALBUM ABOUT HOW HE ROBBED US AND HOW HE IS DEALING WITH YOUNG JEEZY PEOPLE OPEN YOUR EYES HE IS THE WORST PEOPLE EVER IN THIS EARTH
HE IS NOT A MASON BUT HE IS A DEVIL FOR STEALING YOUR MOM MONEY
Jay-Z Caught Up In Federal Investigation Over Casino Venture
New York Governor DAVID PATERSON has denied rumours his friendship with JAY-Z influenced him to approve a new race track and casino venture.
Bosses at event promotion company Aqueduct Entertainment Group (AEG) landed a lucrative multi-million dollar contract from New York state officials in January (10) to upgrade the existing Aqueduct Race Track venue and turn it into a top race track and gaming site – known as a racino – the only legal gambling place in the city.
But the ethics surrounding Paterson’s choice of contractor has been called into question after it was revealed Jay-Z holds a seven per cent stake in AEG via his firm Gain Global Investments Network LLC.
The rap superstar established a friendship with Paterson after they teamed up to stage his star-studded 9/11 benefit concert at the Big Apple’s Madison Square Garden last September (09).
Jay-Z signed a deal with AEG executives later that month – but the agreement has prompted a federal investigation into whether Paterson showed unfair favour to AEG’s contract bid as a result of the star’s involvement in the company.
AEG spokesman Jonathan Rosen has dismissed the accusations, insisting the hip-hop mogul’s widespread appeal prompted them to court the star.
Rosen tells the New York Post, “Given (Jay-Z’s) superstardom and his long and deep connection to New York, the partners thought he could bring a unique perspective to shaping a facility that would truly be an entertainment destination.
“The partners were looking to bring in someone who could bring marketing and community advice to the team.”
A spokeswoman for Paterson has also denied the rap connection played a role in the Governor’s decision.
She says, “There is absolutely no relationship between Governor Paterson’s friendship with Jay-Z and the choice of AEG.

[…] that according to RapRadar.com this afternoon, a press conference was held for groundbreaking of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn […]
Wake up people. Jay Z is promoting and assisting with a project that is pushing the average black man and his family futher away from affordable housing in Brooklyn. 1600 “middle-income” housing units means if you don’t make $100,000 per year take your poor a$$ out of Brooklyn.
Read something other than rap lyrics and the sports page and get yourself informed…get your self a clue. Stop being part of the problem.
