In a Rolling Stone story entitled “How Jay-Z Became King of America,” Jay-Z gives writer Mark Binelli an inside look at a typical day for the rapper/entrepreneur.
Jay-Z spoke with the writer about a variety of topics including his wife Beyonce Knowles, his former gig at Def Jam, his love for indie rockers, and even his one and only trip to therapy.
“I love the energy coming out indie rock right now,” Jay-Z explained to Rolling Stone. “It has this rebellion thing that hip-hop is missing now, the thing that made hip-hop hip-hop.”
In the interview, Jay-Z was unsurprisingly tight-lipped about his relationship with Beyonce but did share a short story about a disagreement the couple had over a Laurie Simmons art piece.
The rapper turned entrepreneur revealed that his job as president of Def Jam wasn’t the easiest. When asked what his most frustrating meetings were as Def Jam president, “all of them,” was his response.
The issue of Rolling Stone featuring Jay-Z on the cover also includes pieces on president Barack Obama, the BP oil spill, Jack Johnson, and more.
Sean Jay-Z Carter – The blueprint and statute of the “American Dream” and icon in capitalizing on captatlism.
Its been said before and I’ll say it again. Jay-Z=THE most overrated rapper of all time.Very average flow, not the best wordplay out there, certainly not the best lyrics and for every dope album of his, he releases another two wack albums. Sure, he is the best businessman to do rap, but not one of the best rappers.
exactly how many copies of The Carter III did you go out and buy?
I bet u are a lil wayne or Gucci fan…and if you are…Then I turn my back on you…I am not a big fan of Jay-z..I am just interested in who you think hot…Now I could be wrong about u and maybe you do have a good understanding of dope lyrics but saying Jay-z is the most overrated rappers of all time is ridiculously stupid….Lil Weezy is the most overrated rapper..everyone knows that….And the people that dont know just dont understand whats real and if you dont know whats real then in my opinion you are not real….But I could be wrong….I am just basing my thoughts on what u said about Jay -z…Like I said I am not a big Jay-z fan but real recognize skill and if cant understand that then I feel sorry for U because u cant help yourself because you are already lost and probably started listening to rap in high school…
But I could be wrong…
i brought 1
you have no idea about anything that is hip hop or hip hop related…
so who does have the best lyrics?
the homie getn paid how can you hate get money folk
1-jay z…jay?…it rhymes with gay i think we get the picture….
2-he was sucking that fat biggie dick tha’s clear from the shape of his lips…
3-he’s licking kanyes’s cum on that beyonce’s pussy,i bet he enjoy watching kanye banging that beyonce bitcha and call jay z stud..
4-the most scared suppose to be gangsta in the history of united states…he’s scared to respond to any nigga no matter who he is..making an excuse he’s rich well maybe ur rich but not g admit it…
5-eminem killed him on his shit,nas shitted on him,game killed him,lil wayne! send him to afterlife and then gave him rebirth…
6-lil wayne! put out a rock album,minutes latr this fag nigga wanna be on that rock shit,in US and europe…nigga be orignal…
7-nigga got 20 niggaz ridin his dick competing beyonce and wining,how could he have niggaz like bleek and j.cole as his wives if it’s not for dem niggaz liking that bitch ass nigga…
8-most important the nigga can’t rhyme..i mean by rhyming that he’s not able to end his bars with the same letters he can’t have 2 sentences with the same size and rhymes..
all he does is fuck him catch em suck him leave em pick em kick em…
my niggaz that ain’t rapping if u wanna rap and hear real rhyming u have to listen to lil wayne! or one of dem cash money\young money bosses…
lil wayne! is da greatest of all da time fuck haters
that was fun
Honestly dude, eat a dick… Oh wait my bad you already have, you’ve got Wayne’s dick so far down your throat that youre your goatee is ticklin’ his balls.
you are a southern inbred idiot to the max nigga…you make others who happen to read your garbage post dumber…please go back to one of those washed out wards or whatever hillbilly hood you came frome ya dumb little niglet…
HATERS NEVER PROSPER ANDY BOY!! ANDY BOY, ANDY BOY!!!
Jay-Z was on the rock scene years ago. u remember the grey album, and the Lincoln park concerts? You remember him and lenny making a rock-rap jam on bp? you must be like 16 and have no clue what i’m talking about. I hope you realize that they’re all just making money however they can, and we all just support who we think is best in our opinion.
I just want to say that this comment was quite possibly one of the funniest things that I have ever read on this website, maybe even on the entire internet. The ignorance portrayed in that list of bullshit is unfathomable. You should be a comedian.
I think you do this to get a reaction out of people. Log off and dont come back
Holla
handy you should really consider trying to get a job writing for wwe or marvel comics or something better yet call up baby im sure he could use another cartoon lyric writer you probably wont get paid but its better than writing that dumbshit on here
this guy is the funniest thing on the net
Wow, you Jealous Rappers are an interesting breed, indeed. Instead of creating something to counteract Jay-Z (as if you could even come close) y’all actually spend time and mental energy on elaborating on sexual acts and the life of another grown and very, very, very successful man. What do you really think you’re doing? Making people NOT like Jay? Making people NOT buy almost 2 million copies of every record he’s released? I mean, really? You Jealous Rappers are the embodiment of Pure Failure. Get back the fuckin lab and make something ANY of us like and maybe, just maybe, your lives won’t be complete wastes of time.
Carry on…
Niggas are lame these days…need to just keep their mouths shut and make their money. Lucky to even be doing that with the whack shit they bring

Haaaaandy? lol
Nas AND Jay Z suck….

Nas albums have been trash since God’s Son….
when you sell your soul this is the kind of treatment you get for a short period of time its only a matter of time before hov falls on his face the devil never prospers
and for those of you who want to hate because im speakin the truth i use to bump jay shit blueprint is one of my favorites the dyansty was fire resonable doubt speaks for itself the life and times was the shit but the point is the man has sold his soul for all this wealth and fame and he took out one of your favorite rappers to do it real heads know what im speakin on
basically its fuck jay-z
who did he sell his soul to and how much did they pay for it. whenever a white man gets his fortune, people say he’s smart or has excellent business skills. a black man gets his fortune and he sold out, you crabs never stop pulling do you. the same freedom(i assume you have) of mind that allows you to not like shawn is the same freedom of mind that allows millions of others to like him. either keep it moving or get ran over cause you in the way. the rest of us got older and evolved, the haters still stuck in the past, grow up
yo ggeneral……. amen brotha. amen.
hey general and bball before you open your ignorant mouth and try to bash me for speakin the truth do your research and then holla at me until you grow up because i know what time it is and you the crab house nigga scum thats just lost and dont have a clue but god will bless you and your cheerleader bball over there
its just really sad as to how many people are lost to what is really goin on these days and ill say it again jay-z is a sellout illuminati shitbag
Is what you said in the name of God….if so your the sellout. It is not your place to judge. if you really believe in God let him handle that. You have no clue what really happens in the life of Jay-Z so how can you negatively or positively comment on his life. Unless you personally know him, just comment on the music

Hate is expected. But the numbers don’t lie. He’s dropped classics, and been the most consistent #1 hip-hop artist of all time, with records that beat mainstream white artists like elvis n shit. What he’s done for hip-hop is huge, dudes should just be greatful for that.
groupie ass nigga.
FIRST JAYZ IS CONCERING HIP-HOP PERIOD..HE IS GOD TO HIP-HOP..BLACK PEOPLE SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT HOVA HAS MADE HISTORY….WE DONT KNOW IF HOVA SOLD HIS SOUL TO THE DEVIL..BUT WE KNOW EMINEM DID,BUT YET NOBODY TALKS ABOUT HIM RIGHT..HOVA IS KING AND I WANT TO BE JUST LIKE HIM IN A FEW MORE YEAR I PROMISE MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL..HOVA IS MY MAN
well i guessed u missed his inverview last month at hot 97. where he tells everyone he belives in GOD ano only one God.
