On Jay Zâs âTom Ford,â the rapper makes a proclamation against a drug and in promotion of a designer. âI donât pop molly,â Jay Z raps on the track. âI rock Tom Ford.â During recent concerts, Jay has worn a T-shirt that features âTom Fordâ in the front and âMollyâ crossed out in the back. That shirt design was used for a Tom Ford dress design recently, according to NYMag.Â
Tom Ford has called this design âa knock-off of the knock-off,â according to NYMag.Â

Jay Zâs âTom Fordâ was released on Magna CartaâŠHoly Grail, an album which received a 4 out of 5 X rating on HipHopDX. âJay Z finds himself in a strange place artistically in 2013,â HipHopDX said at the time. âThe signs were there in 2007, when Jay reverted to coke rap on the excellent American Gangster. While doing so was a response to lukewarm reception to 2006âs comeback album Kingdom Come, Jay more reverted to the same territory on 2009âs The Blueprint 3 and 2011âs Watch the Throne. Though Kanye Westâs presence on the latter allowed Jay a bit of latitude to work some social commentary, Throne was hardly a departure from the Jay Z weâve seen for much the past decade. So where does that leave Shawn Carter musically in 2013? In pretty damn good shape, it turns out.â
