Bill Maher conducted a half-hour interview with Jay-Z recently. He spent the entire interview treating the pop-rapper like an ambassador of a country.  He even pulled out a book that was the size of the bible, filled entirely with Jay-Z’s lyrics.  What killed me is the book’s cover had a “B” and looked like a bible.  The “B” stands for Brooklyn.  But you could take that cover two ways.

This guy Sean Carter calls himself “Hova”…does he think he’s God?  How could he be God?  He plagiarizes other people’s rhymes…ask Slick Rick and Snoop Dog.  Then he went on to say that his first album was made to impress his friends…adding that it was based on his experiences…admitting that it’s the realest work he has ever done.  All the songs he recorded after that were solely made to fill his bank account.  In other words, he’s not a revolutionary, he’s a capitalist. He is one of the three richest hip hop moguls in history along with Russell “prayer beads” Simmons and Sean Puffy Combs – all with net worths at about $340 MILLION DOLLARS USD…

During the interview, Bill Maher stated that, “popular music was always bullshit”  using Lionel Richie’s “Three Times a Lady” as a reference.  Yet he praises Jay-Z…a guy who’s made himself the leader of the movement to deface hip-hop music.  He used hip hop as an avenue to form a clothing line, named after Rockafeller… a man who didn’t give a fuck about black people (how much of a sell-out move is that?)
