And as a continuation from that other thread Cube>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jay Z the biter
Always and forever
A word from Hov
Last night I performed at the University of Arizona, I had a ball!! Through all the excitement and joking around (as well as the technical difficulties) I missed out on the opportunity to say something important..
On the show as well were Third Eye Blind and Kelly Clarkson.. I thought that to be the oddest pairing EVER but, soon realized, it’s what I’ve always professed..There is NO such thing as BLACK music or WHITE music only GOOD or BAD music..It’s stupid cool to like things that are not like you, and that goes for outside of music.. If you’re an African American you can have a jewish friend. Wait, does Lyor having some Israeli mixed with his jewish count? (Sure they are paranoid but, so are black people after they’ve smoked weed, haaaaa, and plus the JEW fro and the BLUEprint fro are the SAME thing.)
I think concerts like this should happen more often. ( Outside of the one or 2 festivals a year or “Zootopia”) I’m putting that into the universe..next up Taylor Swift and Uncle Murda!!
Sorry I don’t “Tweet” (do I?) so this will have to do..
Love.

According to Jay Z there is no such thing as Chinese Martial Arts (like kung fu) just Good and Bad Martial arts

It makes sense for an artist who has crossed the boundary to believe that the boundary no longer exists.
The difference in "black music" and "white music" is institutionalized. Look at how white folks treat jazz these days, look at how they treat hip-hop and then compare it to the way they treat country or pop music. -
If you ever been to a jay-z concert there is more white people in the crowd than black people sometimes so I can see where he is coming from. Everything is integrated so much with different racial backgrounds nowadays in music.

What do you expect from a guy
who used to go around calling himself European Jay..
There is a lot about this letter that could be discussed..
Seem like Jay been tryna get accepted by white folks for some time now,
He seem happy as hell to be on the same concert line up
as Third eye blind and Kelly Clarkson..
It's like he measure his success by how white folks perceive him.. -
First off....FEELINGS!!!!!
Second, he's not talking about where the music's roots came from. He's talking about music only being catered to one kind of race. He's saying you can be black and listen to Taylor Swift, or you can be white and listen to Afrika Bambaataa. -

Do you realize that groups like third eye blind and Kelly Clarkson sell out STADIUMS?...wo wouldn't want to be on that stage performing their songs....In HIP HOP your sucess is measured by how nice you are with the lyrics...white folks been fans of HIP HOP since the alpha and will still be there when the mega comes...
?...You ever been to a WU-TANG show....nothing but crackers in the audience -

Yeah, I picked up on that too.. it sounds like he meant what you said^ and what KingJamal implied at the same time.. but if it just means the bolded, then Jay stated his opinion in a weird way, lol.. -
