This leads directly to prisons full of black men, no white racism needed.

FUN FACT: There are almost no black tech companies, despite the huge open door policy, the massive funding, the mandates, incentives...why??? It ain't racism, because there's no more progressive square mile on earth. ANSWER: Blacks lack the ideas, the creative thinking. It's that simple. So stop blaming whites Whoopi, look in the mirror. Evolution is tough, but its blameless.

To say Jay-Z hasn’t channeled his wealth to charitable or philanthropic pursuits is CRAZY to me. Do your research!! 🧐

I have worked in education for more than 20 years and in schools with children enrolled from all backgrounds. I am not exaggerating when I tell you that 100% of the time, my worse-behaving students are students raised by black single parents and/or grandparents. And as a result, most of these students bring with them to school extreme emotional and psychological disorders that emanate from their dysfunctional home environments. Most of the time, black kids can't read anything. And they are far behind, in every way, white and asian students. It is a disgrace. I do not know what has happened to the black race, but in the last few decades, there has been a significant decline in values. African Americans aren't developing life skills, they aren't developing the most desirable job skills, and they aren't developing ambition. More black people need to graduate from high school, rather than dropping out. They need to earn advanced college degrees well beyond high school. Whether you like it or not, it's the survival of the fittest! No one is going to just hand over to you a house, a car, and a successful life. More black people need to accept and educate their kids about the fact that living well in America is expensive. It is VERY EXPENSIVE. Without exception, you must aggressively pursue success and compete with others for it. More black people need to be ambitious and far more competitive. There are parents who don't even enroll their kids into government-funded public schools. Before their child is even born, they put their kid on a waiting list to be enrolled in some of the best private schools in the country. That is how serious those parents are about making certain their child learns well and can compete in life. That is who your child is competing with, and for some of America's most basic jobs! Black people need to get a clue and catch up to whites and asians who are running circles around them and their kids. You are not even in the game. Black people have been on the bench, letting everyone else enjoy winning for far too long. GET OFF YOUR BEHIND and GET IN THE GAME OF LIFE.

They 4 gettin bout lots of thangs & what nots in this so called story of a Criminal. Allegedly. Right Nah

Shoutout to Jaz O. Brooklyn legend for sure. But this is crazy. Just sounds like he wishes it was him but he ain’t go hard enough. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Almost at 100%

All his ‘relationships’ are ‘transactional’.

great story!!!! very inspirational

Very inspiring ❤

I was born out of wedlock, but my father is in my life, just not married to my Mom.

And this was 8 years ago its gotten worse

Bellissimo ❤

They didn't hire him. 😂

It’s sad this doc didn’t get more views or as much views as the Jay Z video. That alone proves the docs message.

Outside of every opinion from this video and in this comment section,you all are welcome to hear how shawn aka Jay z came about straight from his own mouth by way of lyrics from a song on his first album called, "D'Evils". Don't be deceived.

I don't care what nobody says about Jayz I never felt like he dissed people that he used to deal with I'm like him if your not trying to or going in a positive direction like I am then I'm going to go on my own separate path I'm not mad at nobody we just heading in two separate directions

Lil Dang brought me here.

Jay z saw his potential and ran with it I like how he was business minded too

Though this for the last 25 years. 93-94 is when it started

Somebody's pulling me close to the ground. I ain't panicked, I've been here before. Seems like only yesterday when I got up on that stage, in front of that crowd, and showed them who was who, and what was what. Man look at these suckas, I ain't a rapper, I'm a hustler. Just so happens I know how to rap.

i find it interesting.. that the narrative running in this video's portrayal of Jay Z, continuously heaped negatives on this man, and tried to find fault in him separating himself from certain elements.. while at the same time showing those elements (and people involved) were backstabbing him.. it's happened before.. where the main element had to walk out the door (like Dr. Dre at Death Row), so they could grow. Then the same hood that ain't feeling that.. want's to know what you're going to do to give back. While they dish sh!t, showing the wish they could still have that knife in your back. They don't want to call Jay Z a genius.. Well, their definition of him isn't stopping his genius. Like Pippen always dissin' Jordan.. They have so much time to gossip, and talk about Jay Z, while he doesn't use his time to talk about them. He's using his time to do things.. that show you how to win, while others are showing you, they barely know how to swim

Jay z back stabbed Dehaven...

😂😂😂😂 When A Genius Leaves the Hood REALLY. This dude has never been the best at anything but using people until he gets what he needs. This guy is a fraud the one business skills he had was watching Dame Dash knock down ever door that tried to keep Jay out the game. The man was damn near Thirty when finally got ah deal. Def Jam gave him a job because Damn was about to put everybody on. He was about to cut out the middle man. Def Jam saw what was happening and made a power move by making Jay the President of Def Jam hens Destroy Roc-Fella at the same time. Lyor Cohen saved Def Jam by taking Dame out the picture. They Showed Jay the Money and the rest is his story or History. Jay is and will always be a money whore, that’s just who he is. That Book of Hov shit in NEW YORK is Blasphemy if you ask me. His is not that Great of a Person and he’s definitely not a Genius. Maybe opportunistic but not a genius. The only reason Lyor chose Jay was because he was more controllable then Dame. That’s It! No to mention him partnering with known informants instead of the people who help him get there speaks volumes.

Dope!

A SELLOUT LEAVES THE HOOD!!! 💯

dance with that gold bottle make massa rich boy

his music promotes poverty he only big because white american agenda to incercerate young black men so fk yo billions

Now I fully understand why LL doesn't like Jay, although HOV speaks highly of him and showed him a lot of love.

This was a dope and very interesting I Salute Jay Z he is one heck of a business man.

A lot of us do care, but there's more that don't...I'm an 80s baby every rap and hip-hop song was a hit!!!

Good story & I'm from Trenton. Me Jay (Z) & De'Haven was close friends AIN'T NOBODY EVER SOLD KIDS DRUGS! NEVER! That beef that was build up over time about the fall out about Jay & De'Haven, you guys don't have a clue! Jay keep keep on!!

Definitely in a league of his own... All about strength and winning!

He sold his soul. 💯

I understand Jaz O not taking the deal but imagine if he would have took the deal. I think he would have came out better on the back end.

genius

I'm a kid from Brooklyn and I used to tell all my friends dude is going to win.... It's was said in the raps he was giving the other rappers the game right there and they was all fronting now look how it goes around though now they all need him to be successful....🗽💯

THE WORLD IS SO FULL OF HATERS I APPLAUD EACH AND EVERYTHING THIS BROTHER HAS ACCOMPLISHED IN HIS LIFE TIME WE AS A WHOLE SHOULD BE PROUD AND VERY MINDFUL THAT WHAT THIS MAN HAS ACCOMPLISHED WAS NOT KNOW EASY FEAT IT TOOK ALOT OF DETERMINATION AND VERY HARD WORK SO WHY CANT WE JUST SAY WELL DONE MY BROTHER INSTEAD OF SAYING SOMETHING NEGATIVE AND HATEFUL IT'S TO BAD BUT THIS IS THE WORLD THAT WE LIVE IN . 💯🤔

51:46 I get it and i understand the sentiment, but even NOW this is a stupid statement to make.

NETWORTH=$500 Million, this is old, waaaaay old!!! but still, this man is incredible

NETWORTH=$500 Million, this is old, waaaaay old!!! but still, this man is incredible

❤

I like Jigga! He is a good rapper. I'm from Brooklyn too. My borough is thorough. In high school a Puerto Rican girl that was a classmate of mine let me hear Reasonable Doubt his first album.

Jazz O & Jay Z...two different names..At some point wish folks would just quit D ridin and just be happy in ur own skin..Something wrong when grown men constantly speak on other grown men..

interesting.

Dame Dash = Moe Greene Jay Z = Michael Corleone If it(Rockafella) were the mafia, Dame would’ve been taken out- he became stagnant, started issues with the biggest earner, ego driven, but mistaken for business sense that got exposed when Jay left- he couldn’t recreate the success. Jay Z recreated his success, and pushed it further, became part of the elite…

To quote a brilliant mind, and a magnificent individual, _”Im not a businessman, I’m a BUSINESS, MAN!”_ They say Jay Z gave us the blueprint, but misunderstood, Jay Z/Shawn Carter IS the blueprint. A human Rolodex of algebraic street logic, amalgamated by the economical model(supply & demand) within his music, lifestyle, and ideology. He always learned from the successful, and wise, people in his life, from his environment- Calvin Klein, PeeWee Kirkland, Jaz O(which most don’t know, is a super official standup individual of the streets), Dame Dash, Warren Buffet, and the business structure of those in the Fortune 500.. he studied them, patterned himself using certain qualities applying them in the streets. Jay Z came across mature, wise, confident, sure of himself, a natural leader, because he was great follower, and he knew quality always over quantity- never settle for less, that’s not how high end brands maintain their name being spoken with class.. He’s not special, he’s just a person like any other, but he is the anomaly due to not wasting his potential.. any of us could do that too, now, literally right now, but we won’t, don’t, can’t, shan’t because… … Jay Z is truly one of THE GOATs.

Rap is wack. It's not music. They don't have a name for what it is. Music? I think not. C.H.

Wow! Ye must’ve been taken notes and asking questions because he did the Jay Z to Jay Z!♟️
