The ESPYS: Comedian Jay Pharaoh As ‘Jay-Z The Sports Agent’ (Video)
July 19, 2013
If you missed the ESPY awards two nights ago then you probably missed this hilarious skit by comedian Jay Pharoah as he impersonates Jay Z ‘The Sports Agent’. Many people are not happy with the idea of Jay Z becoming a sports agent like rival agent Scott Boras with whom Jay Z took a shot at in a song on his new album. Those individuals wary about Jay Z entering into the sports world representing athletes may love this skit because it addresses the elephant in the room about people’s feelings on Jay Z guiding these athlete’s careers. Even Master P spoke with some caution when he recently elaborated on Jay Z’s move into the sports management business & how he may need to be fully prepared. Many of those unspoken issues were unveiled in this comedic skit by comedian Jay Pharoah at the ESPY awards that found some in the audience, who may or may not be doing business with Jay Z, not laughing at. In fact, even NY Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz, who is represented by Jay Z’s Roc Nation Sports, is now unhappy after the ink was dry from signing his new contract with the Giants because he realized that he was underpaid for what he was really worth. According to some sports talk radio reports his former agent allegedly stated he could have gotten him more but he chose to go with Roc Nation Sports. Big business politics aside, Jay Pharoah’s skit is hilarious. Only 1 or 2 comedians can do a great job on the Sean Carter impressions Like Aaries Spears.

ESPN First Take: Master P States His Opinions On Jay Z Entering The Sports Agency Business (Video)
July 19, 2013
The first rapper to enter into the world of representing pro athletes was Master P. By now everyone should be familiar with the infamous deal that former NFL running back Ricky Williams signed with the New Orleans Saints that didn’t go over well in his favor. Master P stopped by ESPN’s First Take to speak with Stephen A. Smith & Skip Bayless to give his opinion on Jay Z’s entrance into the world of sports agency. Having dealt with the ups & downs of formerly running his no defunct NO LIMIT SPORTS agency, it was interesting to see Master P choose his words carefully without being negative or discouraging even though it feels like he’s saying it may not be the best move for a few parties involved.

Jay-Z – “Open Letter” featuring Swizz Beatz (Prod. By Timbaland)
April 12, 2013
With critics blasting Jay-Z about his trumped up yet relatively small ownership percentage of the Brooklyn Nets that he’s being forced by the NBA to sell for $350,000, his controversial trip to Cuba with his wife Beyonce, and quite possibly the recent Dame Dash interview that’s been the talk of the internet over the past 2 days, Beyonce’s husband vents on this track featuring Swizz Beatz produced by Timbaland. If you ask me Jay-Z maybe throwing President Obama under the bus about his Cuba trip on this song & seems like he could also be dissin’ the Russians that own the majority share of the Brooklyn Nets by referring to them as ‘Dweebs’. It’s not entirely clear. Jay-Z has always taken subliminal shots at various people so nothing is ever really clear & direct but it’s not too hard to figure who some of the shots are aimed at. It is what it is…

April 8, 2013
“Suit & Tie” – we posted on it. is what it is. Ask Kanyeezy what it is. Hahaa! Got a funkdafied version to post courtesy of DJ Ted Smooth. This… is… the remix… (for FREE)!
‘So after so many requests from my Twitter, Facebook & Instagram Family, i’ve decided to take a shot at this Suit & Tie Remix but what really made it a “Must Do” is the fact that i’m a big Jay Z fan and the way they changed the beat on the original made Jay Z’s verse sound horrible so that was my main objective here and i now personally feel that i’ve done the homie Hov justice….. lol Enjoy people.’ – DJ Ted Smooth

Compton emcee Kendrick Lamar’s latest big hit ‘B*tch Don’t Kill My Vibe’ is one of my favorite songs from his critically acclaimed “good kid m.A.A.d city” album. For this particular remix he brings on Jay-Z & damn near bodies him on the third verse. Now that’s some ill lyricism….
