      After listening many times I got what he meant with the "okay" at first i thought he was saying "okay" as in saying OJ is stupid for saying he's just OJ. But after nth times I got it. Jay is simply saying that there is no point in arguing with some people and just worry about building you and those around you. How much time have people spent trying to change another persons mind. OJ is not about that at the end he says it that this advice ain't free, it's worth millions but you can buy for 9.99.
      Or maybe I'm reading into it too much.

      @ariel6285 Před 4 lety +1409

      YB lmao I responded very fast, but that’s very true, because I’m black my self and the reason I said that because O.J. Disrespected him self and the black community, like he was afraid of being black, risk taking almost because of all the shitty things that happened to black people

    • @ariel6285
      @ariel6285 Před 4 lety +498

      YB the fact is that black people are there own people yet we act like stereotypes because that’s what the white community portrays us as, and no matter if we break that we still Niggas that’s why it’s so powerful like “danm life just suck!”

    • @ariel6285
      @ariel6285 Před 4 lety +479

      YB that isn’t true at all, and yes some black people act hood and "Ghetto" yet we dont wanna be them because every time we do something life changing we do get some credit yet we are shut down again and again, we don't wanna blame everything on white people, but they do it to us and other race's like some white blame blacks, Hispanic, jews, asian for all the fucked up shit when its them. And black people dont wanna be below but there not offering jobs for African American that why people get in to drugs and crazy shit, even though they dont want to. We are just try to provide for our self with the little we have and we aren't ungrateful just dissatisfied that we are still treated poorly

    He's dropping life gems all throughout this entire album. Life advise. Financial advise. This isn't a Jay-Z album. This is a Shawn Carter album. One of his best. Grown folk rap.

    Jay z was saying don’t buy that Jordan for $300 to look cool in your Mama’s neighborhood. Instead buy a shoe for $50 and a Tesla stock for $250 that would have been worth $1700 today. That’s the summary of the song.

      Nah the summery is dont waste your money on material items spend your money on business that you own 100%. Work for something that you can give away to your children so that they dont have to be a slave to anyone. People dont believe this but theres still slavery in America it's just called different. It's called a 9-5
