Jay-Z Business Tips

Best Life Interview

Ok Ok I admit it I'm a Jay-Z fan..... Though I do believe he lost the battle to Nas. Nas diss song against Jay-z named "Ether" was so effective the word Ether gained the additional slang definition of being a way to describe destroying something. A perfect example of this would be someone saying something like "I Ethered that girls pussy last night" which means that you performed extremely well in bed with a female. Or that you shot a woman in her clitoris.......



However, I digress. Here is a collection of some real good media I found online the emphasizes Jay-Z business sense. Though I am going to go ahead and commit blasphemy and and be the first person to tell the truth about Jay-Z's Business skills . Jay-Z business ability is overrated. Its more his image than his reality. The man is a celebrity who made most of his money early on from entertainment (though allegedly the drug game did play a major role as well). And while he is rich and deserves every dollar he has its was not earned by running/creating any particular business. Dame Dash, Jay-Z's former partner arguably was the mind behind the company that brought Jay-Z his first millions (who was the president of RocaFella and who was the vice President).

All of the above media proves he can talk the talk (like all rappers) of a business man. However, he never learned from Dame Dash's mistakes. He continues to diversifies his business ventures to the point that he dilutes the overall brand of "Jay-Z". Mark my words if he were too ever lose his celebrity prowess (which is unlikely the man is arguably the Frank Sinatra of rap) his businesses would quickly fall off as well. Just like Dame Dash fell apart financially once he was separated from the power of Jay-Z's celebrity.
