    I'll believe it once a reputable site reports it or Jay himself confirms it.

    the idea that jay and melo and a group of people buying hot 97 is not crazy. wbls was sold in a package deal for 130 million and wbls is a top 5 radio station in nyc. hot 97 is not even top 10 anymore. so basically hot 97 is less than a hundred mil. this is not jay trying to get close to a billion up. him and melo alone should be able to buy hot 97

    If it's true, how's HE buying it when it's other people's money?
    The heck?

    According to the link they formed an investment group. It's basically the same way he bought the Nets basketball team. He'll put up 5% of the money along with a team of investors and be part owner.


    An investment group can raise capital from hundreds/thousands of smaller investors who might invest $20k-$50k each. It's the investment group's job to raise the bulk of the money. Then guys like Jay Z add $10-$20 million.

    You know he never bought the Nets, right?

    He had less than 1% stock in it.
    That's not buying a company

    That aside Emmis communications various radio station and is not selling one of their biggest in the #1 market.

    I thought he had 5% of the Nets but I could be wrong.

    Nah, it was a 1% ownership, which basically buying stock. It mean so little that he sold it. Obviously wasn't as profitable as assumed.
    Even 50 defined as owning a seat in the nets. it meant that little.
    I tell people all time time Jay-z makes thing seems bigger than they are. He's good at that. And thats a good thing for hustling.

    Jay had 5% initially. Yet when the nets was sold. He was brought out as well.
    his 5%was reduced to less than 1%.
    Alot of ppl assumed Jay talked them into keeping his 1% so that he can be the face of the move to Brooklyn. In attempt to drown out the ppl who were against the move.
    Either or, Jay used his 1%,to put a rocawear store and a 40/40 club in the Barclay.

    The figure was minscule at best but he was able to parlay that into something more benficial.

    Sometimes you gotta think long term. Jay probably learned a lot with the little share that he had and with that knowledge he opened up Roc Nation Sports.

    All told, he has achieved a remarkable feat of leverage with his tiny sliver of the team, which was reduced from one-third to one-fifteenth of a percent upon Mr. Prokhorov’s purchase of the Nets, according to people aware of the deal terms. (Mr. Carter, who declined to be interviewed for this article, retains a slightly larger sliver of the arena itself — just under a fifth of a percent.)

    Clear Channel ain't gonna give away one of it's biggest markets like that.

    Clear Channel doesn't own Hot.Hot has nothing to do w/ the other "Hot" stations .it's owned by Emmis communications.

    Easy mistake to make though because most urban stations are clear channel or radio 1

    Would This Be Considered "Ether" to Nas, Cam'ron, 50 Cent, Dipset, Prodigy and everybody he's ever beefed with?

    No. They should all come together and invest with him.
    If anybody can explain why Diddy, Master P, Dr Dre, Birdman and Jay Z didn't start a multimedia conglomerate 10 years ago then you're smart enough to solve the Davinci code.

    Ask Suge and them

    It wasn't even 1% though, first 1/3 of 1% then 15th of 1% when the big Russian destroyed the buildings.

    I just looked up Emmis Entertainment. Their stock is selling for $2.03 per share. Jay and his team have enough money to buy them out. I'm not sure how many outstanding shares they have but all he has to do is buy 51% of the company and that makes him/them majority owners.

    Its not like Google or Apple where the company is selling for $600 per share.

    OK, I just did a search, Emmis Entertainment is selling for $2.03 per share and they have 43.57M shares outstanding. So it would take about $88 million to buy 51% of the company.

    Edit. Pardon my math
