Rapper Jay-Z and the UK’s Tinchy Stryder have joined forces for Takeover Roc Nation a new, multi-faceted entertainment company.
Billboard.com reports that Takeover Roc Nation will focus on management, merchandising, records, and more.
Most recently, Stryder teamed up with Atlanta rapper/producer Lil Jon for the track “Give It All U Got.” He also owns both a clothing line and a publishing company.
Jay-Z’s joint venture with Stryder and Stryder’s Takeover Entertainment will make this project Jay-Z’s second international joint venture.
Back in 2008, Jay-Z linked up with Norwegian songwriting/production duo StarGate to create a new record label entitled StarRoc.
im not sure exactly how this helps anyone??, stryder’s lyrics are far from hip hop
his demographic is kids from the uk under 18,how can jay z expand his demographic??
i hope u americans dont take to stryder his a poor excuse for a talented lyric writer
That’s exactly the point. It’s a younger market, Jay-Z is all about expanding his brand, this helps. I don’t personally think this is good or bad for hip-hop it’s kind of a personal move, for Jay-Z and Roc Nation. But Jay-Z has made some good moves and choices even though many people (on these boards) hate him for them.
If anything at least Tinchy may be able to expand his clothing line worldwide with this deal. Music wise Tinchy may or may not break the US but help from Jay Z could put him into the rest of Europe and places like Australia and Canada.
Tinchy’s new track Gangsters alright as well. Sounds hip hop.
“Im not a businessman. Im a Business, man!” -Jay Z
Instead of hating the man and being jealous of his many successes, as a young black man, i cant help but be inspired by Jay’s storied career. This is a good move as Tinchy Stryder is popular in the U.k. Takeover roc nation will only expand his presence in Europe & create opportunities for up-n-comers. Jay’s a smart dude and you can best believe he thought everything through before putting his name on this. Stop the hate. Clap for him.
jay-z music is still wack not matter how fat his wallet is
Support this, there’s nothing wrong in expanding, in music it’s kinda necessary. Looks like it’ll benefit some UK artists in the long run so there’s no harm/foul. When you H8 on Jay, you H8 on success, he just achieved what everyone wanted, the wife, the money & the fame.

this nigga wanna leave U.S cuz he knows that bloods won’t forgive that ass of his and will kill him so he goes to norway uk france and all that shit but he doesn’t know that lil wayne! is a worldwide gangsta he’ll call his homies in europe and put this nigga to sleep….
lil wayne! is da greatest of all da time fuck haters
Dumbass..
“lil wayne! is da greatest of all da time”
You probably have not heard Eminems verse the Forever remix lol.
Wayne wasnt looking so GREAT then.
Personally theres not such thing as the greatest mc simply because there are too many unique styles out there (Nas, Cee lo, Kurupt, MF Doom).
But the greatest hiphop artist can be determined by how many great albums they have (Lil Wayne doesnt have one yet).
jay z has stockbrokers that’s movin it like white-tops
I know wayne is in jail like, “Fuck!†this is child abuse… this dudes getting nicerYou young money ain’t ready fa’real

JEALOUSY IS A FEMALE TRAIT…..lol
I never read an article about someone I dont like. Wonder why most people read Jay-Z articles if they dont like him?
And Its ironic that you say lil Wayne is the greatest fuck da haters, becuase you are fucking yourself..because aren’t you hating on Jay?
So you like to fuck yourself?
I c how it goes, the word hate and jealousy don’t apply to niggas up north unless they defending their favorite artist huh!! So it’s ok for you east coast niggas to use the word hate and jealousy when niggas express their feelns about Jay or ne nigga from the east coast, but soon as niggas down south get to calln yall fuck bois hatas and jealous because the south running this shit then yall wanna say oh, it’s not hate or jealousy it’s just our opinion, or the word hate is out dated.. Get the fuck outta here!!! Lame ass niggas!! Your favorite rapper even tells you jealousy is a female trait. which alot you niggas have flowing through your veins..
“REALESTNIGGA-NDA-ROOM 239/404”
Hate is an ‘argument’ for people that dont have an argument. It’s a cop out in my opinion. Oh, Im from up north too, right outside NYC.
speak!
the whole hate thing is real tricky. i think alotta people hate on jay cuz they don’t get what he’s about (lyrics are a mother fucker). that and your not gonna beat a jay fan in a aguement cuz their probably smarter than you. so the guys that don’t like jay find little bullshit that don’t have shit to do with hiphop, music and intelligence and run wit it; ‘oh jay is arrogant, oh he’s ugly” or “oh he’s a satanist”, at the end of the day none of these people can give a legit reason why his music sucks.
now me listening to soulja boy(or even lil’ wayne) a couple things i might tell you is i don’t think these guys are that talented to begin with. they don’t even CHALLENGE me intellectually and their pesonalities remind me of high school dweebs. now people are gonna say i’m hatin. “oh you just hatin cuz he gettin money and he got swag” – WTF does any of that have to do with music and my taste in it. at the end of the that’s really what we should be judgin this shit on.
damn…look at how many ppl are on da eminem tracklist page.. hating or not, dat dude manages to get ppl’s attention still.. no wonder why he sells so much. i swear dats not da first tracklist to be leaked but dang…400 comments within a day???
yeah, jay-z! u go boy! keep makin’ those huge movez across da globe. i know handddyyyyyyyyyyyyy and those otha haterz r mad at ur succezz. jealusy iz a female trait muthafuckaz! put a skirt on if u hate him so much! no 1 will eva b az filthy rich az jay-z! not lil gayne, not shitty cent, not pussy mane, NOBODY!
jay-z! iz da greatest of all time! FUCK HATERZ AND FUCK HANDDDYYYYYYYYYYY AND HIZ DICKRIDAZ! IT’Z MANDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY UP IN DIZ BITCH! REMEMBER DA NAME!

Okay Jay-Z and the UK’s Tinchy Stryder have joined forces for Takeover Roc Nation a new, multi-faceted entertainment company…With that being said I have just one question…Just when in the hell is Jay-Z gonna lift Roc Nation off of the ground and get in gear on the road so that those artists he has signed can get it on and poppin’ with their songs and their albums…As much as people despise Lil Wayne, I’ll say I have to give him a hell of alot credit for at least getting Drake to have his album out.At least Drake’s album is coming out but what about J-Cole? He still remains a question mark in the closet that Jay-Z continues to keep back there along with Lil Kim while Jay is out doing other shit like helping Lebron figure out what NBA team to sign to…It’s like you have a record label that’s sitting there collecting tons of fucking dust but your out helping Lebron trying to sign to a NBA team…Sorry but I feel sorry for J-Coles for even signing over there to Roc Nation…At least Drake was smart enough not to sign under Jay-Z…Drake takes advice from Jay-Z but he’s not foolish enough to sign under him for a record deal…J.Coles will soon understand what it is after Jay-Z makes him sit and wait around for 5 years like Dr.Dre did to Stat Quo,Joell Ortiz,and many others… Sorry but there’s 3 people in the music industry you should never try to sign a record deal to : Dr.Dre,Jay-Z,and P.Diddy!
U are the BIGGEST IDIOT I HAVE EVER SEEN!
#1 Roc Nation is currently on and popping…. J. Cole isnt sitting around collecting dust dude has BEEN on tour with Jay and recording his album at the same time. By J. Cole going out and performing infront of fans of Jay’s he has been building a following for himself instead of rushing to do his debut album and it tanking dude is cooking up the heat and building his buzz.
#2 Its moves like this that will only expand Jay-Z’s label and make sure that they lock down Europe as a label.
#3 If you think Jay wants to sign ppl just to shelf them you are even stupider than I thought. How will Jay make money from these artists if they neva come out? He wont…. so dont be stupid, he is very much invested in these artists (esp J. Cole) careers.
The record industry isnt about microwave meals its about full course meals prepared by master chefs… U dont rush greatness… just watch it unfold and stop being a dickhead…
I like how people criticizing dood for making an INTERNATIONAL move like this, when the biggest moves some of you probably make consist of deciding wether or not your gunna — A) Bus it to your job at Mcdonalds or B) Save the couple of coins and walk to your mcdonalds job.
Ross said it best with “My Moves, done made news”
Make a bigger move or atleast a credible move before you hate
jay-z you can have stryder with all our uk warm hearted compliments , matter of fact plz america take him by all means perminantly because we cant stand the fuckin prick with with his godforsaken bullshit supposedly rap hip hop self shite stylings . its fucking shit BELIEVE .we like to keep our music real an underground here an the less we have to put up with these pop chart wannabe wankers who can only give 13 year old girls there 1st damp patch an walk around actin as if they’ve been a credit to british musical history …..please!!!! …..the cunt is all yours jay-z …no payment required ,fuck it!!! we’ll even throw winehouse in on the deal
man, i just looked dude up on youtube and the nigga got Millions of veiws on a few tracks, and thought dude was garbage, but then again, but i could hardly understand what he was sayin
trust me bro i am from UK… and Tinchy is straight garbageeeeee… check out real UK rappers like Lowkey, Kano, Frisco, klashnekoff etc
sounds gay like jays last record….ha!
LIsten up Jay is a business man be it rap or any other merchandise dude is almost a billi so he is all about the money right now whether Tinchy can rap that is personal opinion fact is someone likes him out there so the kids making money. Together they make more money so instead of hating on dudes coz they are going to make mad cheese you can appreciate their intiative otherwise shut the f*ck and stay broke.
