NEW MUSIC & ALBUM FROM JAY-Z
Thursday, September 20, 2007

Jay-Z feat. Pharrell Williams - Blue Magic (updated with CD quality)
Rapper/mogul Jay-Z has announce that he will release an album full of all new material this November titled American Gangster. Although Jay-Z’s is separate from the official motion picture soundtrack, the new album is Jay-Z’s lyrical interpretation of the movie, which stars Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, Cuba Gooding, Jr., RZA, T.I., Ruby Dee, Common and others. The film American Gangster is based on the true story of Frank Lucas, chronicling his rise to dominance over the Harlem drug trade in the streets of New York in 1970 by smuggling heroin into the country using the coffins of Vietnam veterans returning home from the war.
Jay-Z’s first single from American Gangster is “Blue Magic,” which features vocals from Pharrell Williams on the chorus. AG will feature a series of producers, much like Jay-Z’s famed Black Album. The new album is set to hit stores November 6, while the film opens in theaters November 2.

why is he still making albums? i’m want my money back. I bought the black album under the false pretenses that it was his last album. If I would’ve known he woulda came out with another album 2 years later. I would not have bought into the hype. I’m tired of these artists with these marketing ploys/ gimmicks just to sell more records. It insults my intelligence as a consumer and I don’t appreciate it.

zzzzzzzz . Jay-hova, just because somebody gave him the name doesn’t mean he have to use it . I agree with #22. People don’t care it’s falling on deaf ears. You see all of the “stans” in here . Wrong is wrong ,there’s no defending that . He need to sit his old ass down somewhere !

Man 1st Of all F*ck Craig G…
He’s The One Who Has Everyone Thinking That Jay-Z said 666 Murder ….. but what he didnt say that it was from the experimental album “The Grey Album” Exec. Produced By Danger Mouse With No Affiliation from Jay Himself. Although He Does Have Goos Points, He also dogs any artist that is famous (gospel artists too) to advertise himself and get people to buy his records. Trust Ive had to sit through two of his tapes…Hypocrite To Me I’ll Say. I Know People Who Know/Known Him and NOTHING good comes from their experiences with him. HIS SISTER DOESN’T EVEN CLAIM HIM.
2nd Of All…
The Track Is Hot. Ive learned to accept a new style and flow with every Jay-Z. NONE OF HIS ALBUMS HAVE THE SAME VIBE. Even His Double Album Had To Different Vibes. Jay Is On His 87 B-Boy/Rakim/Big Daddy Kane/Hustler Flow!
AMERICAN GANGSTER
The Movie Nov 2nd
The Album Nov 6th or Nov 2nd (maybe)

Friday, September 21, 2007 /
@ 46 my pleasure for the info, yeah u can look on youtube ( the truth about jay-z_ and the alumanati business. he dont believe in god,he calls himself god explains why he calls himself H.O.VA and he does believe in saturn.He’s getting others inovlves such as kanye saying in ”STRONGER” ” BOW DOWN 2 THE GREATNESS” THOU HAS FORSATANIST. AND RHINNA when she representing the mano corunto,the satanic horns gesture .and the roc sign representing alumanati.(remember when she sitting in the triangle in the umbrella video)
i dont force opinions on 2 anyone jus stating the facts

And another thing about Jay-Z, that whole “play it backwards” thing is a joke. I played the same song backwards and it doesn’t say nothing about “murder Jesus” or anything. It was all a clever little thing that the dude made himself to fool people into paying attention to himself by degrading whats popular with the youth. It’s disgusting to lie and disrespect others for the sake of your own benefit.
I still love Jay-Z’s old material but his new material isn’t hitting it. He hasn’t impressed me since his verse on “Diamonds” with Kanye and “Go Crazy” with Jeezy.

Like I said my belief is not in question here…. I believe in Jesus and you cant take that away from me no matter what you say #62. I’m a fan not an idol worshipper get over yourself already. I know there is somebody in the business you support but you may not know all their religious beliefs! I only said i pray for his sake cuz he has to answer b4 God not me. I am straight with my convictions and I’m still a fan. I still don’t believe he’s a satan worshipper. So you need tpo stop saying things like that with out real facts. Good night I’ll pray for me you and jay tonight if that will make you feel better.

65) That video is a LIE…I played that song backwards myself. It’s a joke, its not real. The guy in the video altered it himself to make it sound like that. I’ve played that track backwards at home with software and also in a recording studio in Manhattan with a couple industry heads because we were curious just like folks on this site. We discovered that it said NOTHING like it was shown in that video, no actual words were said.
You’ve been fooled, so don’t be upset, you’re in good hands. Trust.

Here’s the best a heffa could do with that radio rip:
So what if you flipped a couple words
I can triple that in (?)
Open your mind you’ll see the circus in the sky
I’m Ringling Bros, Barnum & Bailey with the pies
No matter how you slice it, I’m ya muthafuckin’ guy
Just like a B-boy with 360 waves
Do the same with a pot, still come back beige
Whether (?)
Whether powder to jar
Whip it around, still comes back hard
so easily do i W-H-I-P
My repitition with riches will bring a kilo, bitches
I got Creole skee-os for my (?)
Let the (?) prisoners (?) to the visitors
You already know what the business is
Unneccesary commissary, boy we live this shit
Wanna bring the 80’s back
That’s OK with me, that’s where they made me at
Except i don’t write on the wall
I write my name in the History books hustlin’ in the hall
Nah, i don’t spin on my head
I spin the work in the pot so i can spend my bread
And i’m gettin’ it
I’m gettin’ it
I ain’t talkin’ about it
I’m livin’ it
I’m gettin it
Straight gettin’ it
G-gg-g-g-get it boy
Don’t you waste your time
Fighting blind
Stay your course
And you’ll understand
Get it boy
This ‘87 state of mind that i’m in
In my prime before that time i’m Rakim
If it wasn’t for the crime that i was in
Then I wouldn’t be the guy who rhymes it is that i’m in
No pain, no profit
Key i repeat if he show you where the pot is
Cherry M3’s with the top back
Red & green G’s all on my hat
North Beach leathers, matching Gucci sweater
Gucci sneaks on to keep my outfit together
Whatever, hundred for the diamond chain
Can’t you tell that i came from the dope game?
Blame Reagan for making me into a monster
Blame Oliver North and Iran contra
I ran contraband that they sponsored
Before this rhyming stuff, we was in concert
And i’m gettin’ it
I’m gettin’ it
I ain’t talkin’ about it
I’m livin’ it
I’m gettin it
Straight gettin’ it
G-gg-g-g-get it boy
Don’t you waste your time
Fighting blind
Stay your course
And you’ll understand
Get it boy
Push…push
Money over broads, you got it
Bush
Chef, guess what i cooked?
Baked a lot of bread and kept it off the books
Rock Star, look
Way before the bars, my picture was getting took
Feds, they like wack rappers
Try as they may, they couldn’t get me on the hook
Uh, D.A. wanna indict me
Cause fish scales in my veins like a Pisces
The Pyrex pot caller, my sleeves
Turn one into two like a Siamese
Twin when it end
I’ma stand as a man
Never dying on my knees
Last of a dying breed
So let the champagne pop
I partied for a while
Now i’m back to the block
And i’m gettin’ it
I’m gettin’ it
I ain’t talkin’ about it
I’m livin’ it
I’m gettin it
Straight gettin’ it
G-gg-g-g-get it boy
Don’t you waste your time
Fighting blind
Stay your course
And you’ll understand

I hate Jay-Z for an uknown reason, on the real I have no clue why but I got like auto-hate on him lol.. I don’t like the way he raps, I feel like hes more of a dull rapper, he from what i’ve seen doesn’t put any emotion when hes rapping just reading the lyrics straight.. Some ppl say he’s a satan worshipper or something lol, I can’t say thats true but possible.. youtube it and you’ll find out what I’m talkin about..

Jay Z shouldn’t call himself HOVA, it is blasphemy…but he knows it, he’s said it… He’s just trying to cultivate some eccentricity, to make people buy him as genious… Tupac already did that whole blasphemous thing on “Makaveli” I’ve got no idea why Jay Z would want to revisit that. He’s already cursed with that face, like what else are you shooting for? Leprosy? You’re dam* near as ugly as one.
The thing is, he should just go away, already… 50’s wack album, The Massacre, had a better debut than his comeback album. He’s hurting his own reputation, just go away.
I hate this movie is even coming out, word is Denzel’s personality is a lot closer to “Training Day,” than “Malcolm X.” I have a feeling he’ll get some sort of negative brand from this, “Training Day,” was enough Denzel… Go away with the gangster tripe. All it’s going to do is influence a generation of young men to do the wrong thing, while your own son pursues his football career and college education. That aint right.

@81 Lula Pear, the story of Frank Lucas (the character in the movie) is not all negative. Yeah he was a drug dealer in the 70’s that made a million dollars a day, but in the end, he turned in over 100 other drug dealers to prison to get a lighter sentence after he got caught by the police.
So the story is about a black man who came from nothing with little education to a multi-millionaire overnight but turned in other criminals after he got caught himself. He was a “snitch”, if you will.
So yeah, Denzel knows what he’s doing.

The Song is Aiiight…not a good single to lead off with…as for the HOVA reference…people called him hova because he flows so religously…A lot of things could be considered Satanic or Idolatry if taken out of context…the fact that we as christians go to church on sunday when in fact the Sabbath is on Saturday…or how about us celibrating Jesus’s birthday on December 25th with the 3 wise men in the nativity scene…by the time the wise men found jesus he was a toddler…bottom line nothing is gonna come between me and my faith…God is gonna tell me to go to hell for listening to a rap record…LOL People work for major companies that dont believe in god..and you still cash that check…You Holier Than Thou Types Crack Me UP…
I will pray for you and you do the same for me…

And, how is that, in any way, a positive thing for young African American men? How does that differ from what they’ve already seen of ghetto politics? How is your addition anything other than proof of my point, proof that this movie is a perpetuation of stereotypes. Not at all attacking or insulting you, but I don’t see how this disproves or competes with anything I’ve said, if anything it extends and affirms it.
TI has already started it in “You know what it is” “Frank Lucas aint the only one made a million a day”
It’s lame for Denzel at this stage in his career… Yeah, all cultures celebrate gangsters, there are violent video games, violent comic books, violent cartoons…there’s all that, but Denzel is a black man and our culture has become the prison culture. And, he knows that… But, his son is a decorated athlete, he will have a college degree and be in a higher sect of African Americans. It is the low-skilled ones who have the problems, who most often turn to crime, who most often end up in prison. Denzel knows this. I’m in my twenties, and I know this.
But, I’m going to leave it alone because I take this site lightly, that is it’s escapism for me… I digress….

@Yep I Said it and I Say It Again
Alot of what you say I agree with. The only thing that you said that I have to disagree with is in regards to Satan. Satan is not a “fallen angel”. The pretext for this lie is that Satan was “cast out” of “heaven” because he deceived the Most High. They try to use Isaiah 14:12, but when you read down to the 21st verse, it’s talking about the 4th beast in the book of Daniel and Revelation, the edomites. That’s why it says in verse 15, “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High”. That links up to Obadiah verse 4. God cannot be deceived because he is all-knowing and has decreed everything that will happen before the beginning of time so that doesn’t make sense (Isaiah 40:13, Isaiah 46:8-10, etc.). Satan is an angel, and like all angels, he is in order. He must report to the Most High (Job 1:6,7). Satan’s job is to seduce, deceive, or torment the weak in spirit in order to test the spirit of the righteous and show them how not to act (Psalms 109:6, Matt 4:1-11, II Thes 2:8-12, etc.).
In regards to Jay-Z the man said everything he needed to say on Reasonable doubt when he said, “I never prayed to God, I prayed to Gotti. That right I’m WICKED, that’s life I live it, ain’t askin’ for forgiveness for my sins.” They record executives are all into that cabbalah witchcraft and they initiate the negroes that want to get down with them into that masonic, witchcraft doctrine. Jigga is far from the only artist that is a mason or worships Satan but they throw up their signs in their pictures like Jigga is doing in the picture that the sister posted at the top. Another sign to look for is the “OK” sign which is a symbol for the owl god Molech. Of course you mentioned the goat horns which they’re trying to get blacks to do through this forced, contrived rock/ southern rap nonsense. Ther’s also the triangle which you mentioned but Jigga uses signs on all his albums and pictures. Denzel’s in it too. Almost all these cats (Psa 73:12, Jer 5:27,28, Eph 5:12, etc.). Here’s a great book that you can get to show how deep many of these entertainers are into the witchcraft and the satanism. It goes into the history of the entertainment industry and the church of Satan (of which Patti Labelle and Sammy Davis Jr. were members):

@ Anubis Gate Keeper
No disrespect to you, but I don’t get my information on masonry from masons or television. How would I, they’re sworn to secrecy, lol. Plus if a mason tells me their secrets, they’re either lying or don’t know. You seem to be representative of that because you’re a Christian and you don’t know a damn thing about Christ, lol. You asked why Christians go to church on Sunday when the sabbath is on Saturday. If you know this, why do you do it? Lmao. You go to church on Sunday because Sunday is Satan’s day. The christian church celebrates Easter, Christmas, and uses the cross because you are worshipping Satan, not Christ. That’s the whole point, Satan is the god of confusion. You said yourself that the sabbath is on Saturday but, like a sheep, you follow everyone else (Luke 6:39). Dec. 25 is the birthdate of Nimrod not Christ (Gen 10:8-10, Micah 5:6). You are celebrating Nimrod’s birthday, not Christ. When you celebrate Easter, you’re commemorating Ishtar/Isis/The Queen of Heaven/ Diana, etc. (Nimrod’s mother, Semiramis), not the resurrection of Christ (Judges 2:12,13, Jer 44:15-17, Acts 19:24-34, etc.). This is the mystery of iniquity.
The 3 wise men were Parthian noblemen who came to commemorate Christ as the anointed Son of David because the Parthians were Israelites from the Babylonian captivity of the tribe of Judah that ruled in Mesopotamia (Acts 2:5-9). They did not visit him as no damn toddler because Christ was born in the springtime as the scripture states (Luke 2:1-8). That’s why the scripture states that Christ was born during the time of taxation and coincided with the Passover which is in early April. The white man taxes to this day in early April to keep the custom of his edomite ancestors, the Romans, lol.
Now, I don’t know if you’re a mason, you certainly speak like you think that you’re one. The only thing that I’ll say, and correct me if I’m wrong (lol), but from what I understand masons use the pretext of everyone coming together as long as you have a belief in a god (Psa 96:5). Let me ask you; hypothetically, if you’re a mason and believe that Christ is the Son of God, how can you have fellowship with someone who believes that Christ was just a prophet like a Muslim does (Ephesians 5:11). That’s the spirit of the Tower of Babel, the spirit of confusion, which is the spirit of Satan (Gen 11:1-9). Satan does not control evil, he controls the confusion. He has no power if you know that he’s Satan, he must make you think that you’re serving god when you’re really serving him (II Thes 2:1-13).

This is really deep. I really need to do some reserch(at a later time of course) about this. However, I am disappointed because these hand gestures are symbolizing another belief that is against God. Someone jumped allover me in the last post about Jigga geturing (which I thought) was the Delta symbol. It was the roc sign as Jscence explained to me. I then left it alone. I cannot even stomach the idea of “witch craft” etc. Adults and young teenagers idolizes this man calling him”The greatest rapper ever”. Then Beyonce holds the roc sign too. She comes from a spiritual family and donates to her church and built a beutiful family hall called the Knowells and Rowland Center, in Houston. I am not saying nor implying that these people are Satan worshipers however the simple hand gestures of the roc makes me assume that there is an affiliation to some anti-Christ concept. SMH foolish… just foolish…

HE ALWAYS RELEASES WITH HOOPLA AND RIDES THAT COATTAIL. AND IF HE AND NAS RELEASE ON THE SAME DAY, OF COURSE HE’S GOING TO WIN IN TERMS OF RECORD SALES….NAS IS NOT COMMERCIAL LIKE JAYZ, BUT THAT DOESN’T MAKE JAYZ A BETTER RAPPER THAN NAS. THERE ARE DEFINITE SONGS I LIKE BY JAYZ, BUT HE IS NOT THE BEST RAPPER OUT. HE COULD NOT DONE A HEALTHY COMPETITION BETWEEN HE AND NAS AND JUST PUT OUT A STRAIGHT ALBUM WITHOUT THE THEME OF A MOVIE THAT WILL PROBABLY BE A BLOCKBUSTER. WE ALL KNOW THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE NARROW-MINDED AND WILL PERCEIVE JAY AS THE BETTER OF THE TWO CAUSE MOST PEOPLE CANNOT TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN UNFAIR MARKETING TACTICS AND HEALTHY COMPETITION.
HE’S FOREVER LYING, THE BLACK ALBUM WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAST (MARKETING TACTIC), THEN HE BOASTS OF A COMEBACK ALBUM (PURE SHIT INCARNATE), AND NOW THIS. I REFUSED TO BE PLAYED BY HIM….

I don’t think they consider themselves hip-hop.Just because they black, they just rapping its not hip-hop.It’s not hip-hop.That’s like when Madonna came out with her lil rap (I forget which song) doesn’t mean she hip-hop.I think some of you get hip-hop and rap mixed up.Anyways the song is ok.I think he just should stay retired.People hype Jigga up so much I’m starting not to even like give a shit what he does because I not fascinated, he just a human like everyone else.Anyways all hiphop/rappers are the same they talk about the same junk.

This comment board was about the song (that I like) not if he worships satan or not. If he does it sad but he still makes good music. People always hating its sick!!!!!!! IF people put the energy in doing something constuctive the world would be sooooo much better. BTW those people that always go to the Bible and pull scriptures or whatnot I believe those are the worst people because they are always trying to find fault in people when they are a giant fuck up theirselves. OK end rant! Jay I love the track keep doing what you do…….

WOW IT’S FUNNY HOW PEOPLE TEARIN JAY DOWN TALKIN ABOUT HE’S SUPPOSE TO BE RETIRED OR HE DOESN’T SOUND THE SAME BUT TO EACH IT’S OWN
BUT JAY IS INSPIRING ALOT OF BLACK MEN TO GO OUT AND GET THEIRS JUST LIKE HE DID IF NOT EVEN BETTER, THIS MAN HAS LONGEVITY AND A FAN BASE THAT WILL GAURANTEE RICHES FOR HIS LIFETIME
ELEVATE YOURSELVES PEOPLE AND STOP BEING SO PETTY, YOU DON’T LIKE HIM, OR HIS SOUND-OKAY LEAVE AT THAT
BUT DON’T KNOCK THIS MAN’S HUSTLE-DID YOU EVER THINK THAT SOMEONE APPROACHED HIM TO MAKE THIS ALBUM?
WHY RETIRE COMPLETELY, IF THERE IS A DEMAND FOR YOU WORK?
NOBODY CAN DO JAY BETTER THAN JAY, AND HIS TRUE FANS WANT TO HEAR FROM HIM
PEOPLE KILL ME WITH THEIR WHAT I WANT AND SO IT SHOULD BE MENTALITY “THOUGHT PROCESS OF A 5 YR OLD”
THIS MAN IS GOING TO DO HIM IRREGARDLESS OF ANY OF OUR OPINIONS-
BUT WHAT YOUR MISSING IS THE BEAUTY OF IT-THIS MAN AMONGST A FEW OTHER BLACK MEN WAS LISTED AS ONE OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD-THAT ITSELF IS PROFOUND-AND HE’S SUCCESSFUL WITH A CRAFT THAT HE HIMSELF MASTERED, CREATED, AND MARKETED
INSTEAD OF HATIN, NURTURE YOUR OWN CRAFT, AND BE INSPIRED TO REACH THE LEVEL OF SUCCESS THIS MAN HAS AND MAYBE ONE DAY-YOU, YOURSELF , WILL ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING THAT WILL LIST YOUR NAME AS ONE OF THE WEALTHIEST PEOPLE ALIVE

You can all sit here and big up this man..if this were his reasonable doubt era I would say the album is going to be dope…Jay hasn’t had anything legit to say for the last three years..that last album was horrible…”THE GAME” actually had a better album than Jay-z..who would’ve thought..He need to sit his old rich ass somewhere and stop trying to convince us he was a gangsta..son!! you been telling other ppl’s stories for 12 years..you should’ve had an emmy by now. Calvin Klein (the hustler not designer) and all of marcy is laughing at you right now..you was the lookout man at the top of your streets heights…your own man’s called you out for being a poser who never lived what he talks..Nas’ killed you because he was the first to expose you for what you are a fraudulent actor..this is not a good look….cause nobody else on your label gets any shine but your mistress and your version of fonzworth bentley titled “KANYE”….

@ Insiderz
I’m from New York and I’m familiar with the dude that is exposing Jay-Z, so I agree with what you’re saying. Black people are so obsessed with what they think success is, that when you speak against one of these false idols, they think that you’re “hating”. The white man will not make anyone a star unless they’re assured that that person will stay in line. Jay-Z is a pawn and he’s connected. People kill me with that, he’s such a great “businessman” nonsense, lol. Jigga, by his own admission, acknowledged from the start that Dame Dash made all the business deals. There are so many black men that are phenomenally talented that these caucasian music executives can choose from, that they can afford to dictate to the artists that they allow to blow up, what they’re going to say on these records. That’s why Tupac had to be removed. He could not be controlled. That’s also why they had their pawn Jay-Z sign Nas, so that Nas could be monitored.

WHO LEFT YOU IN CHARGE TO TELL PEOPLE HOW TO PROJECT THIER THOUGHTS ON JAY-Z? SO WHAT IF YOU DONT AGREE TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE AND KEEP IT MOVING . LOOK HOW IGNORANT YOU GOT WHEN INSIDERZ RESPONDED TO YOU ( WITHOUT CURSE WORD) . YOU ARE A DAMN HYPOCRITE! IF YOU WANT TO PRAISE JAY-Z DO SO BUT YOU SOUND FOOLISH TO TELL SOMEONE ELSE HOW THEY SHOULD FEEL ABOUT HIM . TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE SWEETIE.
I AGREE WITH MOST OF YOU ABOUT THE USAGE OF THE WORD HOVA AND THE BS MARKETING TACTICS HE USE , HE SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF .. ALWAYS RIDING SOMEONE ELSES COATTAIL . HE CAN’T EVEN THINK FOR HIMSELF .

On the success and brains of others..it’s pretty easy to assume that Jay-z is a genius..when until he was taken to court he was declaring the 40/40 was his baby..you invested..you don’t run it..according to him now that he’s in court..talk to the spanish dude that’s making jay-z millions of dollars with that franchise…another version of dame..so if in reality you want to give jay credit make sure its for the right reasons..for being a manipulator of media and publicity. Outside of Jay-z becoming president of def jam which he did not do on his own accord (they could not get anyone else to want the job..do your research bailey) what has jay done with his own two hands alone? I’ll wait….hell i’ll give you a month to research it and leave no stone unturned…and yet you will come up with nothing. Jermaine dupri to me is a business man..diddy is a businessman..jay-z is a rider..plain and simple..the difference is he sold his soul directly to the devil and not to the media like the other two have.
Don’t get me wrong..jay-z the artist is inventive and creative. Has a way of putting a picture into words like few others..but it’s not something original..not something new..its just worded and given a brand of swagger. When your own sister is ready to rat out your closeted life because you won’t help her feed her kids you know you are one evil greedy bastard..350 5th avenue…old location of rocawear in its infantile stages..check out who used to run that….then ask yourself with no experience why?

THIS SONG IS FUCKIN’ WHACK. HIS RHYME SCHEME IS LAME. I CAN RIP THAT BEAT BETTER ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. BETTER CHORUS N ALL. LIKE dude before said it’s lazy. AND I’M A JAY-Z FAN. BUT I WONT LIE FOR ANYONE. THE BEAT.. IS CRAZY HOWEVER. WHICH is EXPECTED FROM PHARRELL.
There were only a couple times when jay-z’s flows were nice in within the beat. But that’s not everything. It sounds like he’s putting words together, just to match. Sadly. Sounds like he’s trying to hard. He’s better than that. I hate when great rappers slack on tracks. He needs to take this back, revise it, polish it up, and THEN! it’ll be a hit. And he knows it’s true.

Brilliant. These idol-worshippers lose their minds when one of their false gods get attacked, lol. Notice at the end of the 99 Problems video, he gets shot up to signify his ascension to a higher level of Satanism. TI did the same thing at the end of one of his videos (hint hint). The man, Jigga, had the song 22 2’s on Reasonable Doubt and then had a concert in New York at Hammerstain Ballroom where he made a sequel to that song called 44 4’s. Anyone with basic math skills can see what that adds up to. Besides that, like you said, his own hood knows that the man is a sodomite. That’s why he got so irate when “Ether” came out, because it was an expose. Notice Nas said, “I rock ho’s, ya’ll ROC-FELLAS..”, lmao.

I THINK SOME OF YA’LL ARE UNDERESTIMATING JAY’S TASTE AND KNACK FOR WHAT’S GOING TO BE THE NEXT BIG THING. HE’S OBVIOUSLY VERY TALENTED AND LYRICALLY, ONE OF THE BEST HIP HOP ARTISTS OF THIS GENERATION.
I DON’T THINK HE WANTS TO JUST ATTACH HIMSELF TO THE AMERICAN GANGSTER FILM ONLY BECAUSE IT’LL PROBABLY BE A HUGE HIT AND PEOPLE WILL WATCH IT FOR DENZEL. MAYBE HE LOVES THE IDEA OF THE FILM, (KNOWS THE STORY OF FRANK LUCAS) AND IS INSPIRED BY IT. ARTISTS ARE SOMETIMES STILL ARTISTS, NO MATTER HOW BIG THEY GET, THEY FEED OFF OF OTHER CREATIVE SOURCES. JUST A THOUGHT.
AND “BLUE MAGIC” WAS ONE OF VERY MANY DIFFERENT “BRANDS” OR TYPES OF HEROIN DEALT AND DISTRIBUTED DURING THE 60′S AND 70′S BY FRANK LUCAS. BLUE MAGIC WAS APPARENTLY THE PUREST FORM YOU COULD GET ON THE STREETS, HIGHLY POTENT AND ADDICTIVE. (I WIKI-ED IT) =)

Sounds like something I recorded in my small home studio…He got some aight lines..it’s just not the jay that jumps thru the speakers at ppl…..sorry fans…this sounds like he had been up 3 or 4 days and running on redbull fumes..just lazy as hell!!!

I’m trying no to go into this with a “U are retarded and obviously brainwashed” mentality. So I’m not going to disrespect you, however taking somebody’s “interpetation” of anothers person and speaking on it as if its the truth is hmmm….stupid and makes your argument invalid. Try hearing it from the horses mouth…You basically said that Jay-z is a athiest and believes he’s God and worships the Devil. Did he give you this information?
Jay-z actually addressed those rumors in a interview he gave and basically laughed it off and said it was ridiculous. Which it is. God Mc, Jay-Hova…this is a metaphoric was of saying he is the greatest of what he does…that all. I have been to every tour he has since 96…and has probably seen almost every interview or read it that he has given. I have heard with my own ears Jay acknowledge God. and has thanked him. He isnt really religious but is definitely spiritual, again coming from his mouth.
Don’t be so influenced by others and remember if you was a celebrity and you had somebody who didnt know you speaking about you like they knew you inside and out, would you want other people believing that person? Dont be brainwashed. And just because this is a religious figure does not mean his word is bond! I believe in the Lord with all my heart but I do not trust every preacher…

listen to upgrade it right in front of your eyes he says an i quote that”
”have u seen satan,not the car but everywhere we are.” h to the izzo ” i quote he who does not believe in me is not real to me” he does not exist” referrering to jesus and then he says vamoose son of a bitch. I think a spiritual person writing about ”Lucifer isn’t what you do when you have some form of the lord in yor mind. lol like are kidding me??
christians on here agree with me ,so i dont know what your beliefs are but dont judge me and ditest the information i am stating.Brainwashed is one that i call who is ignorant and dosent want to see signs. referring to JUDAH who states confusion
it looks like your mentality is confused.no offence intended
the signs.i am not a sheep and don not follow ,i research and with the grace of god have these type of references presnted infront of me..
Please do not force your opnions on me and pretty much find it bananas that people look up 2 a man who is nobody.so what his got money do i care,doesnt equal 2 happiness do not act like u know him.Because like its said is the entertainment industry do not believe everything u hear in interview,videos adn radios because there more than meets the eye.
by the way im not a christian i’m a sikh so i havent met preachers.
you say jay z acknowledges god but u dont know him nor does he say jesus he says god but do you know what god he difines for all in know it possible its satan or refers to himself as one.
dont’t be fooled at the start of ” GO GETTA” with young JEEZY ”HE SAYS I PRAY THREE TIMES A DAY ” bUT AT THE START HE SAYS SATAN ..PEOPLE WHO BELEIVE IN GOD DONT DO THAT..
181 (Trouble)
THE ONE WHO SAID HE SAYS THAT KANYE SAYS FORSAKEN BUT ACTUALLY I KNOW FOR SURE HE TRYING TO INTERPRET HE SAYING THAT BUT IF U LISTEN HE IS SAYING SATANIST..WITH THAT BEING SAID HE SAYS ”New
gospel homey, take six, and take this, haters” new gospel?? huh ..what can i say new gospel and take sin add it up youself!!!!

It very good energy that u have of listening to music how he talks about champagne, cigars, killing and Satan refer to my other posts.if I enlighten some of my views that’s good because the falsehood is negative.how can u say people who speak quotes from the bible are trying to point the fault in others when there messed up themselves.. How can you say that people who read quote from the bible are ridiculous because they find the faults in others and are corrupted themselves. You’re judging you don’t know me. People are just spreading the name and preaching.

You are hilarious because you think that because you’re a Jay-Z stalker that you can comprehend what the man is talking about, lmao. Now what exactly was the man supposed to say when asked a question like, “Are you a satanist?”. Did you think he was going to say, “Yes I am. I’ve drunk blood and am an active practitioner of kabbalah witchcraft and mysticism. I’m also a homosexual and I use that bisexual voodoo priestess, Beyonce, as my beard in a mutual deal we’ve made to attain power in this world that our lord, Lucifer, controls. My new album comes out in November. Ya’ll come out and buy it.”. Lmao. He is a black rapper, not a white rocker. There are very few white rockers that will admit that they are satanists, despite all the symbolism that they use and their target audience, much less rappers. It’s bad for sales for Jigga to acknowledge his worship of Lucifer. Believe me, it’s nothing new for blacks in entertainment to bow down to the devil and he’s far from the only one doing it today. You probably worship Satan and don’t even know it so how the hell would you be able to understand what Jay-Z is referring to? You, like most idol worshippers, are idiotic. I’m not trying to convince you, so please carry on.
