Charlamagne Tha God says Jay Z is his favorite Hip Hop mogul.
Brooklyn rapper Jay Z is one of few Hip Hop artists who have remained grounded throughout the length of their career, according to Charlamagne Tha God. The topic of Jay Z and his moguldom was brought up when The Breakfast Club co-host was asked who his favorite Hip Hop mogul is, during an interview with Montreality.
In regards to Jay Z being his favorite mogul, Charlamagne shared his belief that Hov is one of few who “hasn’t sold his soul.”
“Jay Z’s my favorite Hip Hop mogul because Jay is the one guy who seems like he hasn’t sold his soul, so to speak,” Charlamagne said. “He’s the one guy who seems like he’s still got his Timbs on the ground. He never comes off as a superstar, industry artist. He just comes off as a guy who came from the projects of Marcy and made it. And I guess because his story is so well-documented…so we watched the evolution from Reasonable Doubt to where he is now.”
Charlamagne applauded the rapper-turned-businessman for recruiting his family and close friends to work at Roc Nation.
“It’s real family oriented,” he said. “His sister works up there. His nephews are already up there. And I mean for any black man coming from where we come from, that’s the ultimate end goal. The ultimate end goal is to set up a situation to set up a structure where your family can eat. Where your family and close friends can eat. And he’s done that.”

He never comes off as a superstar, industry artist? Charlamagne drunk as hell.
Naw, that nigga ain’t drunk. He’s just a dickeater.
the radio guy cozying up to the artist – what else is new?
Please they don’t even play hip hop on the show. GTFOOH Jayz is king radio sell out.
Charlamagne has no clue whats going on!!! He just does what the check writers at that radio stations parent company tell him to do!!! He don’t think for himself!!! He just trolls as he is told to do by the check writers!! Nigga is a blowhard!!!!
How much did jay slide you to say that???
Nah jay aint payin shit to dis ass hole this guy is hopin for a check.. charlamagne an ass hole his bad for hip hop
Freedom of speech, you got your opinion and we have ours.
Yep, and opinions are the buttholes, everyone has one and they all stink.
Yep… Yep! That why HOV keeps winning and Nas keeps losing. Charlamagne know the truth! Just like when HOV went to go sign Lil’ Wayne and brought him to the 40/40 club. He sat him down at a table with Denzel Washington and Derrick Jeter then offered the dude $175,000 to sign to the ROC and told Wayne that he would never be part of that table. That’s how us real grounded dudes from the Marcy projects handle things. You Nas stans will never understand.
NIGGA your punkass name alone sounds like a Nas Hater!! Didn’t Jay sign Nas right after Rusell hired him? You got so much hate for Nas you having he delusional melt down and audacity to compare the likes of jay to Nas. No comparison you nincompoop!!!
Never a let down….
Never a let down….
Charlemagne keeps kissing up to Jay Z. He’s been kissing up ever since Hov got him fired from his original Radio gig for his interview with Beenie Siegal
Ya’ll trippin. Charlamagne is right on this one. Look at the scoreboard. Superstar industry artists are involved in petty drama all the time, i.e. Drake, Ye, etc etc. Jay is a businessman that stays above all that. Even with the Beyonce cheating stuff, he managed to turn that into a business move and come out on top. That’s because he stays above the industry nonsense and doesn’t feel a need to flex by wearing shades indoors and shit lol
jayz isn’t the best business man until now, he had people invest in his music like BUDWEISER bought some crazy amount of cds when KINGDOME COME came out, but now he’s doing good with Rocnation sports and Tidal. PUFFY IS THE BEST HIPHOP MOGUL the numbers show you that, PUFF IS KING IN NYC
Theres no way that Jay z is best to do it … maybe the best at running the music industry but Eminem has sold more records then anyone and Jay got destroyed on renegade
Stop wit the em comparison this dude run the game that renegade shit was alright but dude way deeper than that research reasonable doubt analyze the life and times series listen to the blueprint saga and praise the black album if you’re a real hip hop head no skinny jean flow.Then listen to eminim shit yeah dude can rap and flow but he’s no Shawn Carter.pbp
His flow so simple can’t stand him I only like the first blueprint
you talking crazy… leave the cracks alone
Kill yourself please
Kill yourself please
Charlamagne is actually in love with jay, that’s why he bleaches his skin tryin to get that beyonce complexion
