Jay Z Blasts The NCAA On DJ Khaled’s “I Changed A Lot”

    Jay Z has some harsh words for the NCAA in his verse on DJ Khaled’s “They Don’t Love You No More.”

    “Fuck the NCAA nigga / Let a young nigga get paid, nigga,” Hov raps in one of his lines.

    The song was released last year, but is also featured on DJ Khaled’s eighth studio album, I Changed A Lot, which was released today (October 23).

    There is sustained controversy around whether college athletes should get paid. College sports is a multi-billion dollar industry because of factors including television contracts and licensing agreements. Athletes are compensated through a scholarship to attend classes and room and board. However, the universities often use the players’ likenesses in promotional material and merchandise sales without compensating them, which would be illegal in virtually every other instance. There is an argument that players, especially those in the revenue-generating sports of football and men’s basketball, should be paid.

    Jay Z also serves as a sports agent through his Roc Nation Sports company. The NCAA has stiff penalties for agent interaction with its amateur players. NFL rules state that football players are not allowed to play professionally until they are three years removed from high school graduation. The NBA holds the rule at one year.

    “Salute to all the real niggas out there finding the loopholes / Fuck all these fuck niggas, hate when niggas come up / Hopped off the plane, hit the helicopter / Tell these crabs in the barrel we eating hella lobster / Got hella options, like a college team,” Jay Z continues in his rap.

    The Rap mogul had to sell his share of the Brooklyn Nets when he became a sports agent because his stake in the NBA team was a conflict of interest.

    1. Facts only. Everything real in his raps only. Nas can’t even come close to spitting bars like these. Hov!

      1. Facts only. Has Nas ever written a song like H to the izzo? Or rhymed like Jay did on Big Pimpin?

        I mean Jay beat Nas so bad he mother mad him apologize on radio and he cried for Nas to forgive him. That’s how much NDA beat HOV.

    2. 1. Slow news day.
      2. This song is hella old (and wack)
      3. Ed Barron sued the NCAA and players can get paid now, so….

    3. First. This song is madddddd old. Second. HOV went at NCAA and Drake! You failed to mention that but I guess that’s why you wrote this article. To either discredit Jay’s lyrics towards your pop act Drake.

    4. Jay-Z blasts Drake. Haters wanna ball, let me tighten up my drawstring. Wrong sports boy, you know you soft as a lacrosse team. Sorry Mrs. Drizzy, for so much art talk. Silly me, rappin’ ’bout s**t that I really bought — while these rappers rap about guns that they ain’t shot — and a bunch of other silly s**t they ain’t got.

    5. John Oliver on last week tonight did a good piece about the NCAA exploiting players. it’s on youtube if anyones interested.

    6. There needs to be a new Fab 5 that takes there talents to Europe for a year for 10 mil to be broken down and skip the NCAA for a year.

      Then go straight to the pros.

    7. real niggas prosper! crackas can’t relate! being nigga means being superior. being cracka means being inferior. being black means you got better physical and psychical stamina. being white is about being wack physically and mentally. fuck racism. black is better. all black everything is da motto. black is beautiful. white is ugly. being black is healthy, being white is unhealthy. black genius minds unite!

      1. whoa bro this isn’t the first time I heard that. It’s not like that we just need to vote for Bernie Sanders

      [Verse 3: Jay Z]
      Hold up, you ain’t got love for me, my nigga?
      Ever meet another nigga like me, my nigga?
