That’s a shame Cleveland swept two teams in a row and now can possibly be taken out of the series by the Magic. Anyway, Jay-Z looks like he’s about 45 years old.

I’mma need Jay Z to gon’ ahead and get a haircut. Whatever happened to the Jigga we used to know and love yearrrrrs ago (you know, all clean and ish)? Like this: http://farm1.static.flick.../140394680_43ceb8c1d5.jpg I guess when guys get married they really do let themselves go. Bleh.

I agree w/#44 Princess aka Queen. Jay-Z has always been sexy just because of his confidence, intellect, and business acumen. Amil was right-ambition does make me horny! Swagger is not about looks.

Well if thats the case, he has been working on this album for a really long assed time (commentor # 56) because he has been sporting that NAPPY DUG OUT for quite some time already, & with as much money as he has one would think he would pass on the “homeless man” lack of a hair cut “look” for a nice neat cut.
But perhaps he enjoys the freedom of going NAT-TU-RAL.
It is not complimentary of what he exudes & represents presently (image wise), but I guess he feels he got it like that. More power to him…
LOVE, PEACE, & HAIR GREASE JAY…
& a COMB, along with a pair of barber shop clippers, & a Barber that can hook you up to look like the Mogul you truly are now.

COME ON!!

He looks a hot mess. What happen? Every since he has been married he gone down hill with his appearances. He has gotten content to point he doesn’t care seems like and it’s not handsome at all.

OMG! I almost died looking at that picture! Jay is SO UGLY. His face really do look like a camel! Not even the animated Joe Camel, but a real life camel! He is NOT a hot mess, he’s just plain UGLY.
He needs to shave his head again, lose the weight and then LIFT some weight. Not that I like buff men, but at least he wouldn’t look so flabby and pathetic next to an athlete.

#45, now you know Beyonce’s man brushes his teeth and bathes. Him growing out his hair does not make him look dirty. I swear some of you all are so brainwashed it’s depressing.

APPARENTLY Jay is going for a certain look that you broke bums cant understsand just yet. All you same hoes talkin about how ugly he is would bow down and kiss his dick if he were in ur presence! So get outta here with all that foolish talk.
63.
I love Jay-z!
Saturday, May 30, 2009 /
I think he looks cute! Jay is just that dude. He got swagger on a trillion. Beyonce can be so happy to spend time with such fascinating people like RIhanna and Jay Z.

CAN I JUS SAY THAT PEOPLE NEED TO STOP SAYIN THAT ITS SELF HATE
I KNOW ITS THE BLACK DUDES PULLING THIS ONE OUT WIT THE BLACK WOMEN!
JAYZ IS A HOT MESS, BECAUSE HE DONT GROOM HIMSELF.PERIOD.
IF WE SAW A WHITE MAN, THAT HAD LONG OVERGROWN HAIR AND SOME DIRTY BEARD.. LOOKIN LIKE JESUS..
PEOPLE WOULD BE SAYIN THE SAME THING TO HIM!
ITS THE FACT THAT JAYZ HAS THE AUDACITY TO MAKE THESE APPEARANCES LOOKIN LIKE A HOMELESS DOG, WHEN HIS GOT THOUSANDS STACKED IN THE BANK…
ITS NOT GOT TO SEE HIM LIKE THIS, BECAUSE IT SHOWS THAT HIS DEPRESSED OR HAVIN SOME MENTAL TRAUMA…
FIRST SIGN OF A MENTAL BREAKDOWN, IS LETTIN YOURSELF GO… THIS IS VERY OUTTA CHARACTER… PEOPLE SHOULD BE WORRIED FOR HIM.

Jay is still the man. If my man was raking in MILLIONS a day, he could walk around with a cross on his back for all I care..lol..
Y’all are acting like Jay has ALWAYS been top notch sexy, wich he hasn’t so what’s the big deal? I love the way he carries himself and his swagger is SUPER turn on..so eff it. He’s not waking up every morning and getting dressed to please you. He has a wife at home that CLEARLY loves him for something and that’s all that matters.

What’s wrong with our people, can our brothas and sistahs not rock their OWN BEAUTIFUL NATURAL TRESSES without being criticized!!
I mean the white masses surely put a doozy on the African-Diaspora into believing the gorgeous curlly tresses God gave us is considered unkept, how pathetic and sad.
Our curly tresses has alot of innate empowering connection to the universe thus why yt want us to keep it cut off and it’s apparent the brain washing has worked, look at the ignorant comments made by many…
If Jay Z want to finally rock his natural tresses, thank GOD he’s seeing the light and coming into self-appreciation and love. As long as his hair is cleaned, then all is good!!!!

I mean he’s married to the baddest chick in the game no matter how dude look you’ll still gonna buy his shit cause his one the BEST RAPPERS ALIVE!!!!! The boy lyrics are sick and why do you give a damn you’re not laying w/ Jay, so chill out….people…

Jay-Z is going the way of Kanye West in relation to his mid-80s fashion motif. Somewhere between Bohemian and Barbaric.
However, the Jigga Man’s - as everyone has mentioned numerous times - features are so prominnent that the sheep’s wool hair and the bland rough textures Mr. Carter has donned as of late, save for the RayBan wayfarers, don’t produce a pleasing visual aesthetic.

Whenever Jay is recording an album he let’s his hair grow out (a lot of people in sports do that too, not uncommon)…When the BP3 drops he will prob get a hair cut. If he doesnt I wouldnt be mad, I dont think his hair looks bad. Jay has enough money that he doesnt have to conform to any rules as to what is “acceptable” by OTHER people’s standards. HAPPY TO BE NAPPY!!!!!

If you dont like Jayz hair, dont look. If you think he’s ugly, you’re probably not all that yourself. Do you really think Jayz cares about what you think of him. The only opinion that matters to him is his wife’s and odviously she’s ok with it. I think the message Jayz is putting out to all you nasayers is worry about your own life and dont waste time worrying about his or his wife. For his fans, they going ride with him (hair cut or not, ugly or not) it’s the MAN,the RAPPER, the BUSINESS MAN that we care about. He’ll get his hair cut when he’s good and ready and not before so get over it.

U know what’s funny?? I have complete OPPOSITE opinions from everyone on here about Jay’s hair.
I actually think something about his new grown hair is workin for him..it jus makes him look better cuz with a fade is when he looks his ABSOULTE WORST!!
All he gotta do is put a lil S-Curl texturizer kit in it thats all lol. As long as he doesnt cut it, looking at him will at least be tolerable

Jay Z can dress as he pleases, he’s a grown man. You all need to grow up because he isnt thinking about you. His wife isnt complaining and that’s all that matters. Even once he’s cut his hair, you’ll still all have something to say.
95.

Tuesday, June 2, 2009 /
Some of you need to get a life because Jay Z isnt thinking about you. His wife and fanily are happy with the way he looks and that’s all that matters and you’ll still buy his albums. He chooses to not cut his hair for a couple of months and suddenly you think you have the right to call him ugly. You guys act like celebrities arent human, like he never has a look at these sites and sees people calling him ugly, like you’re all so perfectly beautiful. If people around the world were calling you ugly, you would probably be suffering from depression by now. I’m not the biggest fan of Jay Z but get a life and leave him alone. Even once he’s cut his hair you’ll still have something to say. Everyone likes to talk about how they would change other people but not themselves kmt.

I’m not seeing the problem here, white people wear their hair how they like, sometime long sometimes short, why can’t black people he looks decent to me, and trust me i’ve seen worse, to each his own, get over it
