This dude is a BUSINESS, man!

So handsome.
Tell your wife to get a life.

Jay looking like a distinguished gentleman…I’m likin it….I may check this play out…

@HI his wife has a life!!! what do you think she doing sitting around scratching her ass all day?

I am really interested in seeing this play.

Beyonce and Jay Z as a couple just give off vibes of power and influence…lovin it!

Girl boo.
To get a social life, to enjoy her husband, to take time off and relish in what her hard work has afforded her. That’s what I mean.

…..What a smart brilliant man…Jayz

Hey guys make sure you change the spelling in the title it’s ‘FELA’.

@ #2- LOL. Seems like you’re the one who needs the ‘life’.

Jay stays making positive moves.

Go Nigeria! Jay looking FIT

you always be the best

@ # 8. Agree. lol

IT’S “FELA!” and the show is AWESOME. saw pre-season opening 11.10.09

I saw the previews last year and it was one of the freshest things I’ve seen in a long while. It’s one of those experiences that after you become an instant advocate so with that said if you’re in NYC do yourself a favor and check it out

he looks nice….very admirable. Jay is about his business (bottom line)…i aint mad at him at all. As a matter of fact I applaud him.

I’m loving his grown and sexy looks; first at the AMAs and now. BEST RAPPER ALIVE.

It’s FELA, not FELI, get it right…naija stand up.

Ooh Mr Carter, he’s been supa dupa smartly dressed these days, i love it when he puts them baggy jeans on the side, Bee is one lucky chick. And by the way, with such famous people behind this project, i feel like “FELA” didn’t get enough press, i just heard of it two days ago. He was the African JAMES BROWN for me, i’d love to see it !

HOW MANY TIMES??????????

“AFRICA” is N O T an effin country… you’d think maybe an urban blog could digest that…and stop using “African” when they can use the specific country. Do you say he such and such is the European etc… or the South American Shakira?

FELA KUTI IS FROM NIGERIA

GET IT?
GOT IT?

WE GOOD?

EXCUSE ME MISS…says J - lol

Im waiting on Judah’s comment hehe how do you know so much about the illuminait? Are you a double agent? Do you believe in the reptillians? Oh and are you cute? Age?

Jay’s looking so distinguished. He’s definitely about his business. And there are no words for how much I’d love to see this play. We as AA, in general, know so little about Africa. I think I read somewhere that most slaves brought to the America’s are from the west coast, with Yorubi heritage. The play looks entertaining & inspiring. Great post!

HIS SWAG IS INCOMPARABLE JUST SEE WHEN HE WALKED AND GOT HIS AWARD AT THE AMAS DAMN HE GOT SWAG I UNDERSTAND HOW HE GOT BEYONCE

HE SEEMS SO SERIOUS BUT HE IS VERY COOL ACTUALLY HE IS CUTE WHEN HE SMILES UGLY AT TIMES BUT HE IS THE MAN THE PROTECTOR VERY SMART AND VERY RICH AND HE SEEMS TO HAVE A BIG D!CK TOO! GO BEY!

Nice jacket…Jay tryna get his “Diddy” on!

*Sigh*

Jay is just .. he’s such a business man.
His swagger and everything else about him just makes him so attractive.
He just presents himself so nicely .. so smooth.
Gotta love him!

I Love Jay, cool as a cumcumber.

@2 She got a life…..and your looking at it. ALL DAY EVERYDAY

“They use to say I was ugly and wouldn’t touch me, now I pull up in the dubbed out buggie…” - Jay-Z.

Money, Power, Respect makes you attractive…..prime example.

WOW that is amazing go Jay! I am proud of him for this one Fela is a legend. Much love!

Jay looks good in the pics, but where is Will & Jada?

Say what you want about Mr. Shawn Carter …….he is def a “business , man “… Gotta respect his huslte and grind ! Him and Puffy know how to wear the hell out of a suit ! I love it

I thought the only reason why they gave money was b/c it was about to not end up on Broadway. I love how they make it seem like so much was invested into it, this is just publicity for him and then they can bring the youngins in or those not familiar with their names attached to it. I guess everyone wins.

LMAO @ #26
SO F*CKING TRUE!
Jay’s swag is on a whole new level….love me some Jigga

So where is Big Willie and Mrs. Jada!

Jay looks good quite dapper.

I saw the preview this past sat and it is FIRE!!!!!!!!!!! If you are in the NYC area, treat yourself to it!

At about five minutes to curtain last night….the audience erupts into this thunderous applause. I’m looking around like ‘ oh shit…is it Mandela? Maybe Bishop Tutu? lol. It was Jay. QUITE an interesting moment in Broadway history. Sat what you want about J…but him, Alicia Keys, Jada Pinkett Smith, Quest Love…are all stepping up to the plate…ensuring that this all-too-important story gets told. As someone who worked on the show….I have NEVER seen people work harder at bringing a vision to light!

Thanks for covering this Angel. so few outlets are giving it or the stars the props they deserve. I do wish there were shots on the folks who worked on the show…but hey if seeing Jay is gonna put butts in the seats….do the damn thing!

If you’re in NY and you don’t see this play you’ve missed out on Bill T Jones vision of a cultural icon unsung. Fela was and is one of the most innovative musicians in the world….who was unapologetic in his manner, in his love for Nigeria and ALL of Africa….in his love of women….in his belief in the Orisas….

This man was such an important addition to the fabric of music and the legacy of activism. And Sahr and Kevin (both alternating the role of Fela Kuti) are phenomenal. Black folk, please come out and be a part of history. We MUST keep this on Broadway as long as possible. When is the last time you saw so many powerful beautiful black folk on stage together…NOT TAP DANCING and shuffling…but UNAPOLOGETICALLY BLACK, AFRICAN and BEAUTIFUL!

And if you don’t see the play…or can’t….get his music and get the message!

FELA NA PRESIDENT! FELA NA PRESIDENT!

Naijah 4 Life!!!

He looks nice… when should we expect those babies……..

Jay-Z looks so sexy in a Suit it’s like you have to
notice him. He is really doing his thing no matter
what. Love to see Black Brothas in a suit cuz it
shows class and sends guys a message. Work
place, Function, Work Place, Parties this is how
Black Men should show out !!!!!!!!!!!!! Really

Naija for life… I knew Jay had always respected Nigeria’s hussle

Naija 4 Lyfe!!!

Fela na de man ooohhh!!! *lolll had to speak naija broken lloll*
