Has Heroine

Ended Rapper Jay Z’s Career

The stories of musicians and artists becoming addicted to drugs is nothing new.

Elvis, Rick James, Aerosmith band members, Whitney Houston, and even Jay Z.

In Amy Winehouse’s very catchy song the hook rings:

“They tried to make me go to rehab
I said no, no, no
Yes I've been black but when I come back
You'll know, know, know
I ain't got the time
And if my daddy thinks I'm fine
Just try to make me go to rehab
I won't go, go, go”

The remix of the song included a rap sung bridge by hip hop star and New York sports teams owner Jay Z.

How a kid who grew up in the ghetto, who never got an education in the world that we live in makes it, is beyond me, but the state of New York and the city of Manhattan has a way of making it easy for their ghetto kids to get an opportunity to tell the world that their kids are better by repeatedly GIVING them opportunities to have success.

It’s no secrete that Jay Z was financed by a New York aspiring Hip Hop executive who used money from drug dealers, or gangsters, to start the career of the rap singer. The Hip Hop executive was later imprisoned by the FBI.

What gets me is how the aspiring executive was able to get a job working at a large corporation like Universal Music Group without a college degree and only one song that was good enough to get a label interested in Jay Z’s music.

It’s a New York thing.

Only in New York can two undeserving admitted criminals be GIVEN a chance to be noticed GLOBALLY as legitimate world class highly skilled, very informed, or educated, experienced major music industry talent, when the truth was that they were only ghetto kids with a good song that could get a little radio airplay.

Jay Z is no fool, nevertheless, he played the stupid New York City suburban reared Universal Music execs into millions of dollars that he invested into his own label and ownership of New York City sports teams.

He later told the world that he was ending his music career.

The questioned remained; why did he do a rap song telling the world that he was a heroine addict before he left. Not many people knew.

I believe that Jay Z comes from, and continued to remain very involved in, the degenerate subculture knows as hip hop, and he has never let go of the idea that hip hop is acceptable to all.

The fact is, however, that hip hop is only acceptable to those who engross themselves in the culture, and it is not, nor will it ever be, mainstream culture.

I believe that Jay Z let the world know that he was a heroine addict so as not to hide his addiction.

Jay Z may believe that his wealth hides all; his inability to shake using the highly addictive drug; his hidden shame for being an addict to a drug that is know as BOY, because it turns grown strong men into boys; and his ignorance of the fact that he really does not realize that he is not, nor will he ever be, truly equal to all professionals globally who educated themselves and worked hard to accomplish in the world.

Personally, I knew the guy was on something any time he called himself J-Hovah, which is short for Jehovah, which is the name of the God of the Jews, Muslims, and the Jewish Rabbi Yeshu now known as Christ Jesus, so that made Jehovah the God of the Christians.

Drugs kill a mind, but New York made their ghetto kid with a heroine addict a multi-millionaire businessman.

Who would think?

Only in childish New York.
