My advice:

Read profusely and widely.


G'luck.

Vegas has slot machines in its airport.

Atlanta now has a club in its airport.

Seems legit.

Uh huh, uh huh, gi-gi gi-geyeah

(Uh huh, uh huh)
Switcha flow, getcha dough

(Yeah, yeah)

Mother****ers wanna act loco
Hit 'em wit, numerous shots with the fo'-fo'
******* wanna talk to Po-Po's, smoke em like cocoa
**** rap, coke by the boatload

**** dat, on the run-by, gun high, one eye closed
Left holes through some guy clothes
Stop your bull****tin', glock with the full clip
Mother****ers better duck when the fool spit

One shot could make a ***** do a full flip
See the ***** layin' shocked when the bullet hit
Oh hey ma, how you, know *****z wanna buy you
But see me I wanna **** for free like Akinyele

Now I gotta let her take this ride, make you feel it
Inside your belly, if it's tight get the K-Y Jelly
All night get you wide up inside the telly
Side to side, till you say Jay-Z you're too much for me

(***** what?)
Make you think you can **** with me

Got a condo with nuttin but condoms in it
The same place where the rhymes is invented
So all I do is rap and sex, imagine how I stroke
See how I was flowin' on my last cassette?

Rapid-fire like I'm blastin' a Tec, never jam though
Never get high, never run out of ammo
*****z hatin' an' **** 'cause I slayed your *****
You know your favorite, I know it made you sick

And now you're, actin' raw but you never had war
Don't know how to carry your hoe, wanna marry your hoe
Now she's mad at me, 'cause Your Majesty
Just happened to be a pimp with a tragedy

She wanted, us to end, 'cause I ****ed with friends
She gave me one more chance and I ****ed her again
I seen her tears as she busted in, I said, "****
There's a draft, shut the door ***** and come on in!"

(***** what?)
Make you think you can **** with me
(***** who?)
Recognize *****, Jay to the Z

(***** what?)
Make you think you can **** with me
(***** who?)
Recognize girl, Jay to the Z

(***** what?)

Gotta vendetta even though I been better
Left him in the cold with a thin sweater
Rap *****z on Prozac get the bozack, *****z threw
Two at me I threw fo' back, hold that

Let the dough stack, way before Big had the gold Ac'
Dame had the Lex black
Mother****ers wanna test that, stress that
And right where you're stressed, where you rest at

I suggest that, *****z invest, in a vest, when I come through
With the glock jet black, you *****z step back
I'm the best at, you know I ain't no apprentice to this
Me and my *****z we invented the ****

I came into the business with this
The Originator, non greater Jaz-O finish this ****
Better learn, Jaz'll relax that, ever heard of me?
Worldwide Originator, say word to me

The population holla certainly, I burn a *****
Like a third degree, see me shine so bright
***** I'm my light, runnin' rulin' with rigor and vigor
Nobody bigger than me and my ***** *****

You fly-by-nights stop chirpin' B
Heavyweights type work to me
For the time, in this mother****er ain't nobody hurtin' me
What? Cut your face in like surgery

Who the **** got a VS, ****in' BM's on the road
When you had to be in bed at the PM
Need the info, Jaz on the C.N.N
Forever touchin' my workers beginnin' you're endin'

***** your style's no style my style's hostile
C'mon, ****** ***** down to take the gun home
The Originator
Can't **** with it can ya?

(***** what?)
Make you think you can **** with me
(***** who?)
Recognize *****, Jay to the Z

(***** what?)

And to think the NBA didn't catch him when he was part owner and face of an NBA team. His recordings came way before Sterling's and his recordings are public and all over youtube/iTunes, etc.

In his albums Jay-Z commonly uses the language used by young street kids in places like the housing project he grew up in because originally this was his target audience. In the phenomenum that is Hip Hop music it turns out that alot of mainstream people loved hearing this as well and bought it up.

Today Jay Z raps about things that street kids should not be able to relate to at all like dressing in designer clothes that cost $1,000 per shirt and flying around in 100 million $ private jets. What amazes me is that young street kids still like and buy his stuff.

But foremost he's a smart business man. He's a marketing expert that excels in getting street kids and mainstream youngsters alike all over the world to buy stuff because it has that elusive quality of being seen as "cool" whether it be music, clothes, cologne, alcohol, etc. etc. That's how he made his $500 million. He's a glorified Brand Merchandiser with street cred. If he were completely politically correct he would lose that street cred and his niche in the consumer market.

Look, the man's poetry obviously resonates with a lot of people. It's simple, edgy and in touch with the reality of many young people today.
