Jay-Z's Honest Hypocrisy


I found this news blurb and link on Relevant Magazine's website and thought of this quote from Jay's "American Gangster" album.

News & photo:

"Here’s a picture of Jay-Z using a Mac. Nothing too out of the ordinary—expect for the fact he was recently featured in a commercial telling how he runs his media empire from an HP laptop."

Lyrics* from Jay's song "Kingdom Come" off the album of the same name:

"Ladies sayin' where you been Superman / well, n---as spending $10 million in media on my hands..."

Hewlett Packard's $10 million at work:



Lyrics from Jay's song "Ignorant S--t" off of the "American Gangster" album:

"Don't fear no rappers / they're all weirdos / DeNiro's in practice / so don't believe everything your earlobe captures / it's mostly backwards / unless it happens to be as accurate as me / and everything said in song you happen to see / none of what you hear / even if it's spat by me"

Hov's also rumored to be launching a digital record label with Apple after stepping down from his post as president of Def Jam last month.

At least he tells the truth about his lying.

*Props to my lil bro Jerome for recalling those words after I mentioned this story to him.
