Another musical genius who thinks it can't be music if he doesn't like it.

That's pretty much impossible unless you've never listened to a radio on watched any music on television in your life.

But it's not music. See he put songs in quotes to make that distinction.

In fairness, Seldom acts like he lives either in an underground bunker somewhere or holed up in the mountains so it's possible he has indeed never watched TV because he's worried about THEM using the signal to steal his brain waves.

Just googled. As of 2018 it had 3M users. It was founded in 2014 by a Norwegian group and then Jay Z acquired it in 2015.


It can be streamed on Windows, iOs X, iOS and Android.

Yeah, I struggle to see how an adult could have avoided Hard Knock Life, Big Pimpin, Izzo and Empire State of Mind alone.

I thought the only criticism of Jay-Z was he was too popular. You'd have to live in a fallout shelter to not have heard his music. It gets used constantly in sports too, so apparently not a big sports watcher.

High end alcohol, his online stream service designed to give artists a larger cut, and the record label he founded and built from the ground up.

The first is a super high end champagne that has an interesting and kind of humorous backstory with how it gained fame. Known as 'ace of spades' champagne

Dude would not be allowed by the powers that be to have that much money if he didn't participate in satanic rituals and get turned out by old jewish dudes. FACT.

It’s an amazing accomplishment. Who has written anything off like that on this board? You seem to be chomping at the bit for someone to do that when it hasn’t happened. Strange mentality you have when others are bragging about the achievement and you are inviting them to be critical. Presumably so you can then be critical of them for being critical. Strange.

Congrats to Jay-Z.

Does this mean he isn't oppressed anymore?
