“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.
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.
art of giving lmao fuck does Jay Z know about giving the selfish fuck spent his entire def jam presidency blocking artist from our culture from progressing further and gettin shine dude personifies the meaning of selfish
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.
that no other rapper cannot make it like Jay Z. you are a looser. ppl like you are a problem for the black race with your negativity not no fuvking Illuminati
@XEDOS COSIGN 100
Laughing @ all the losers on this site who drops the Illuminati shit, ya’ll are fucking sheep.
THE PPL THAT GETS EXCITED EVERYTIME HOV NAMES COMES UP , WUD OF PRAISE IF IT WAS EMINEM OR NAS OR EVEN CURTIS DOIN BIG MOVES LIKE THIS ,,,,,,,,,,,, YOU ALL KEEP HATIN WHILE THIS GUY MAKES A COUPLE MORE MILLIONS ……………HOVA=GOAT…..
in the words of big pun>> THE LEVELS THE LEVELS IS GOOD….LOOKIN AT THAT I KNOW I CAN DO IT…BUT HE AINT THE FIRST DIDDY AND MASTER P WAS…BUT NONE THE LESS HOVA IS THE EMPIRE MIND STATE OF THE GRIND.
WHEN THEY SPEAK OF SUCCESS ,I AM WHAT THEY MIGHT MEAN ……..HOVA=DA FUCKIN GOAT
“I’m not a business man, imma business man”-Hovi da great!
The Illuminati was a real group in Europe back in the day. It consisted of elitists, not conspiracy actual history look it up. Stop listening to that youtube BS. I dont think it still existing in the united states today in some form of fashion is unreasonable. Entertainment, politics, media…are all connected Idk, im just not quick to throw it into the “conspiracy bs” pile just yet.
^ stop dickridning ur still a broke ass nigga like da rest of us
To me Jay looks like some kind of puppet on that cover.
i love seeing successful black people ..congrats hov
@Mental control take your crackhead ass back to your mama’s basement
“Momma ain’t raised no fool Put me anywhere on God’s green earth, I’ll triple my worth Motherfucker – I, will, not, lose”<===he let niggas kno from da jump!
Hov would never doubt dude greatest roel model quote if you feel like a pimp goin brush yo shoulda off
elliott wilson is a unsung hero
Let the man live,he stepped his game up,he’s about his business,making business moves,and got the hottest chick in the game. He will go down as one of the greatest ever to do it,not just as a rapper.but entertainer,entrepreneur. People need to stop talking about this illuminati nonsense,and get over it. And the people that dont like jay-z majority of them have some of his cd’s in the crib.
@XEDOS U R DEAD ALREADY AND A ZOMBIE! AND UR MOTHER MADE A HUGE MISTAKE CARRYING U BECAUSE U R A SPOILED NUT,SORRY ONCE AGAIN CLASS DISMISSED! JAYZ WONT SIGN U AND NOBODY WILL…CREATE A NEW GENRE DREAMER,ITS OVER,DO COUNTRY MUSIC OR FOLK BECAUSE UR KIND WILL NOT SUCCEED.ITS A RAP GET IT?
G.O.A.T…Point. Blank. Period…
Greatest rappper hands down!
WHEN THEY SPEAK OF SUCCESS I’M WHAT THEY MIGHT MEAN …………….HOVA……….DA……..GOAT………..
Are we seriously, seriously, SERIOUSLY talkin shit about this man??? And u say u love hip hop?? Im not even down with the back and forth commenting with pple whose sole purpose is dissing Jay just for the sake of dissing him. Thats very sad, because pple usually look down on us, and instead of all of us being behind this guy and showing the world that black pple can have unity and hip hop as an a culture has become huge, we spend our time on internet blogs dissing him. WOW!! Did u even watch the 52 mins interview thats posted on the Forbes site?? Mr. Buffett said, and i quote “im very inspired by Jay, and his success speaks for itself. He’s been able to transcend his music genre even after having passed the age of usual relevancy”. So Warren Buffett, an outsider, respects this man, and you, an internet blog fiend disses him?? I mean, i have simple questions like can he rap?? Is he talented? Does he make ringtone rap? Has he surpassed the expectations when it comes to hip hop relevancy age wise? Is he smart? Has he been time and time again a trendsetter? Is he a brilliant businessman? This man is almost 41 yrs old, is well passed the age of relevancy in rap (a young man’s sport) and is still pound for pound the best doin it and the most relevant MC in the game. And yall question whether he’s down with the illuminati and shit like that?? We need to champion our people and be proud of those that show us a way out. HOPE. Im disgusted
@XENOD UR WASTE OF LIFE AND A ZOMBIE THAT WILL NOT MAKE IT RAPPING.SORRY TOO LATE! BOW DOWN N KISS MY DICK,SUCKAS …i AM YOUR KING!U FUCKING PEASANTS! COPY?
Look at what this represents. Hip hop. Black people. A view got the youth. Shit deeper man. Congrats J. Keep it up. Hip hop wins! No country or rock on forbes wit buffet…
@ TRUTH 23 WELL FUCKIN SAID
Gotta keep it all the way real. Biggie wouldn’t have been close to here. Jay is the ultimate hustler slickester boss asshole etc. Bruh bout his money on some other shit tho. Lyrics and money is two big different things. Shit will smith ain’t even here lol
Nas, will you ever win?
ITS SCARY HOW FAR THIS GUY HAS TAKEN HIPHOP ………….HOVA= very inspiring person good look hov …
@ESCO nigga shut the fuck up, pardon my french amigos, there’s no such thing as a self made man. there’s a helping hand to every man’s success, regardless of how you look at it. Jay is as close as there is to being self made. He created a brand around himself, and sold it. In certain ways, you could call him a legal prostitute, but aren’t we all. We fuck for success, and we feel accomplished after it. Let’s have a toast for this multi-millionaire. *cues Runaway instrumental*
@JDOT…Nas wins every time you try to hate on him…some of you Jay stans can’t seem to get past that 2001 “Ether” and let shit go like Nas and Jay did back in 2005! Grow the fuck up dude and listen to Nas’ song “Friends” when he quotes “A bunch a fucking know it all’s whose money is small.” Success comes in many forms.
KEEP MAKING THEM MAD HOV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DEATHROW REP! Back in the mid 90’s B.I.G then was Jay now. Had Biggie not died, Hov wouldnt be where he is! B.i.g died Hov took over FOH! AND FORBES OR NO FORBES NAS IS > JAY-Z!
Who betta than HOV?
the best of us rap in iran http://www.usrap.tk www . usrap . tk
For you simple minded mofos that say it’s the Illuminati behind Jay’s success, you are at least half correct in theory. Is there such thing as the Illuminati? It is possible, but why designate a possibly fictional organization to real establishments that we know for a fact actually do exist?
We know for a fact that Bilderberg Group, the CFR, the Trilateral Group, the Club of Rome etc, etc all really do exist! There’s no questioning that. So by simplifying its the Illuminati all the time, you’re actually loosing the impact of the message that your trying to get across.
Here’s the simple message. The ruling class elite want to lower the world population by at least 70% and set up one world government based on a cult like environmental religion that we will pay carbon taxes to a existing or future world bank.
That’s basically the goal in the end. To get to that goal they will poison us through our water and food. They will kill and impair us with their vaccines. They will numb our senses with their medications. These are soft kill weapons. This is eugenics.
You all need to do the deep research. The rabbit hole goes much deeper than Skull & Bones, Bohemian Grove and Masonic this and that. Research the things that are much easier to prove. The aspartame being put in tons of different foods. The fluoride in our water. The government white papers that say in their own words that we need to lower our population through stealth means.
In the end. Jay Z obviously does have some strange spiritual beliefs. That’s quite obvious. It’s good to make people aware of this but there is a deeper level to it all. It would appear that Jay has made those connections with these anthropogenic elites that donate billions to the poorest countries in the world but somehow their money goes to fund vaccines that mutilate or infect the people with all sorts of diseases and neurological disorders. People like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. Even Oprah.
Yes, the rabbit hole goes much deeper!
1) WUT JAY DOES HAS NOTHIN’ TO DO WITH NAS AND VICE-VERSA!!!! THERE’S NO COMPEITION BETWEEN THESE TWO IN BUSINESS OR LIFE IN GENERAL!!!! SO DEAD THAT FUCKIN’ SHIT!!!!
2) ENOUGH OF THAT “IF BIGGIE WAS HERE” BULLSHIT!!!! WE WILL NEVER KNOW WHERE BIGGIE WOULD BE RIGHT NOW!!!! SO STOP THIS FUCKIN’ PSYCHIC I SEE THE FUTURE BULLSHIT!!!!
3) EVERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN/WOMAN HAS HAD A HELPING HAND!!!! NOBODY BECOMES SUCCESSFUL ON THEIR OWN!!!! THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A “SELF MADE” ANYBODY!!!! USE YA FUCKIN’ COMMON SENSE!!!!
4) THE UNITED STATES IS A CAPITALIST COUNTRY!!!! WEALTH IS GONNA BE FLAUNTED EVERYWHERE YOU GO!!!! IT’S THE AMERICAN WAY AND CULTURE!!!! IF U DON’T LIKE IT THEN GET THE FUCK OUT!!!!
5) JUST APPLAUD THAT NIGGA FOR BEING WHERE’S HE’S FROM AND BEING WHERE HE IS NOW!!!! SUCCESS HAS LESS TO DO WITH MONEY BUT MORE TO DO WIT SELF FULFILLMENT AND SETTIN’ A PERSONAL STANDARD FOR YOURSELF AND SUSTAININ’ IT!!!! SUCCESS COMES IN DIFFERENT FORMS U ASSHOLES!!!!
6) FIND YOUR OWN SUCCESS AND SET A GOOD EXAMPLE SO OTHERS CAN FOLLOW AND BE SUCCESSFUL!!!!
….ASSHOLES!!!! HA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

“im not a businessman, im a business man”
“Ya’ll should be afraid of what i’m gon do next…” def feeling inspired by this. Clap for him.
and this why Jay is more than just hip-hop.. he thinks outside the box and doesn’t limit himself to being some rapper who talks about the same b/s every song .. ie.. birdman lol 50..g-unit as whole .. etc etc
props to Jay
Congrats Jay – well deserved
HOV THE G.O.A.T.
HOV RUNS EVERYTHING IN DA WORLD
HOV THE G.O.A.T.
G
Let’s not do the work of racists and say the only way this is possible is some illuminati shit. One of our own is making big moves in the world not just hip-hop.
shouts to Hov! U the greatest King!!
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow if you click the article/video link and play the excerpt about “luck” Jay-Z admits that Jaz saved his life.
P.S. Warren Buffett also spat in Jay’s face by stating how lucky he (Warren) is that he is not black.
wow, b ya done good
@DOC how do you explain: Rihanna, Ne-yo, Rick Ross, Nas, Jadakiss, Fabolous, Young Jeezy. All signing and having success @ Def Jam while Jay was president?
“art of giving lmao fuck does Jay Z know about giving the selfish fuck spent his entire def jam presidency blocking artist from our culture from progressing further and gettin shine dude personifies the meaning of selfish”
Great intelligent interview from Jay, Buffet and Forbes. Very informative.
@Gladd…but Warren meant by being born in the 30’s that his advantages were extremely greater being born a whiteman other than being born a blackman or a whitewoman.
G
@ DR. Nick Black
Would Jay-Z have said he was “lucky not to be an old white man in hip hop” while sitting next to that old white man? No he wouldn’t, because he wouldn’t even want to risk disrespecting him.
And on the topic of respect…why is there so much respect for that “moment?” Jay-Z is not in the actual Forbes 400 list. Quite frankly I don’t see what they have in common. They’re both lucky? They both “love what they do?” I don’t get it. Sitting down with a white man that has way more money than you is not a notable accomplishment.

yes HOVA = GOAT… SCAPEGOAT.
You children should do your research about who owns Rocafella records, and how when Biggie and 2Pac died… JAYZ BLEW UP….. theres a reason why jay and warren buffet are on the cover of forbes TOGETHER.
DO
YOUR
RESEARCH
