Jay-Z, Fabolous, Jermaine Dupri Make Super Bowl Predictions (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1629864/20100115/jay_z.jhtml)

'The Cowboys and the Jets in the Super Bowl,' Jigga says.
By Shaheem Reid

Jay-Z stopped by Ed Lover's Power 105.1 radio show and dropped another nickname for himself: "Jigga the Greek," referencing the late sports commentator and bookie Jimmy the Greek.

Hov predicted the New York Jets would be up against the Dallas Cowboys in this year's Super Bowl.

"Cowboys, that's my pop's team — what I'mma do? The Cowboys and the Jets in the Super Bowl. I'm gonna put that out there," he said.

However, we asked around, and fellow Brooklynite Fabolous said Jay is a little off.

"The Jets got a lot of spirit right now," Loso said. "I ain't gonna lie. Jay is just pro-New York. He would love for the Jets to be there. It's a lot of hard teams they would have to beat — the Chargers this week. I would love to see the Jets in there. Going into it, they have the spirit of the Cinderella team. It would be dope for them to be in there, but my Colts are not going down, brother. Sorry.

"Of course my Colts are going to the Super Bowl. NFC wise, it's a little tough over there. The Cowboys are playing good ball. I don't think [Cowboys quarterback Tony] Romo is consistent. The Saints, I think, toward the end of the year after that loss, they haven't been playing the same. The Vikings ... I'm a little shaky with Brett Favre. The Cardinals, I'm a little shaky too. If I had to take one, I would say the Cowboys right now and the Colts."

Jermaine Dupri agreed. "It's gonna be the Cowboys and the Colts. I'm a Cowboys fan. I always been a Cowboys fan. That's my team," the producer explained. "I personally don't think the Colts gonna make it. They got the best chance to make it, but the Cowboys definitely going. That Brett Favre sh--, a quarterback can't beat us. Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson — if they can't stop our running game this weekend, they got a problem. Then the Saints, we seen them get beat. I think Ray Lewis and [the Ravens] got a chance of going back to the Super Bowl. They're a team that's been there and people count them out — then here they come, they done beat New England. I just think they gonna show and prove differently from what people know."

Hov the god mc

for real. Jay is a long time cowboy fan 1, and two, if you dont know who jay z is you have been in a closet since 96 (98 for most fans). Not only is he the greatest mc ever, his a business mogul. 96 worth 100 thousand, 2010 he is worth over almost a billion.

The Black Warren Buffet.

[StylisticS]

Oh great, we have all of the stupid arse rappers on our side.........

Would it be better if we had stupid country singers and stupid rock stars on our side as well?

Anyway. Chalk up another celebrity Cowboy fan. Didn't know that about JD. Knew about Jigga though.

[thechosen1n2]

Oh great, we have all of the stupid arse rappers on our side.........

Whats thats suppose to mean, and Jay z is far from stupid. Great Business mind. I guess Rapper is the equivalent to stupid to you.

[thechosen1n2]

Who cares what they think ???

probably more than you care to think. Thats why someone wrote about it.

What does rapper have to do with being stupid. Make no mistake there is a plethora of stupid ones, but you act as if its one in the same.

[thechosen1n2]

He ain't even close to Buffet, give me a break! :lmao:

Of course hes not. I was speaking of the business mind and the direction hes headed, but since you have jokes Hes closer to buffet than you are to him....but hes stupid :rolleyes:

[Achilleslastand]

I have heard Jay Zs horrible attempts at the english language. For every point that his IQ is above 100 i will donate 100 bucks to the "rebuild tiger woods image fund".

[Boyzmamacita]

Actually Jay-Z speaks really well. I'm not talking about his rap performances. I'm talking about interviews I've seen him in. He's highly intelligent and a savvy businessman.

Hi hater.

[cowheel]

He ain't even close to Buffet, give me a break! :lmao:

Comin from the Marcy Projects to being a music mogul, entrepreneur, and part owner of an NBA franchise that is approaching billionaire status... yeah, from a respect point of view he's close.

[thechosen1n2]

You have no idea what you are talking about, and I would think you would donate more considering that you are smarter than the self made billionaire.

[cowheel]

Plus he's married to Beyonce. That puts him above Buffett IMO.

[dadymat]

you do know Buffett is worth about 62 billion right?

[Vintage]

Plus he's married to Beyonce. That puts him above Buffett IMO.

Plus, his music doesn't suck *** like Buffett's does either.

So that's another notch for Jay-Z.

[dadymat]

thats a matter of opinion...just like all music

[Rampage]

whoa,whoa,whoa! what's up with the hate for Hov in this thread?

blasphemy!

[REDVOLUTION]

Feel it comin' in the air
Hear the screams from everywhere
I'm addicted to the thrill
It's a dangerous love affair
Can't be scared when it goes down
Got a problem, tell me now
Only thing that's on my mind
Is who's gonna run this town tonight...
Is who's gonna run this town tonight...
We gonna run this town


We are... Yeah I said it ... We are
This is Cowboys Nation
Pledge your allegiance
Get y'all Star Jersey's on
All Cowboys everything
If you boys really real enough
This is Cowboys familia
Yeah I'm talkin' five, no,
six SuperBowls

[cowheel]

you do know Buffett is worth about 62 billion right?

Yeah... i know that.

But my level of respect has much less to do with HOW MUCH money a person has than what the person has accomplished.

To come from the element that Jay Z came from... to accomplish what he has is absolutely astonishing.

He has more influence of this young generation than Warren Buffet will ever have. I don't care how many 0's are involved.

But you obviously are one of those who equates success to a bank account...

I see some of the richest people on earth are the most miserable folks that i wouldn't trade my life with for a bit.

[dadymat]

nice try at the grandstanding but....werent you the one who brought up how much Jay z was worth not once but twice...?

Total bull! Buffet has done more than JZ will ever do. You are clueless to what Buffet has done throughout his career and what he means to all ages. I am not saying JZ has not done some good, he has, but he flaunts it with houses, cars, jewerly, etc. Buffet still lives in his modest home of 40 years in Omaha, NE. He has donated billions to worthy organizations and his involvement with the Gates. He is giving away more than 85% of his wealth, mostly to the Bill and Linda Gates Foundation.

You my friend do not know what you are talking about!

and what a great unfluence he is..........songs like ...2 many hoes....american gangster.....dope man........**** all night....

if its alright with you id just rather my son look up to Buffett

[cowheel]

nice try at the grandstanding but....werent you the one who brought up how much Jay z was worth not once but twice...?

Peeped this from Wiki...(excuse me for not speaking The King's English - it;ll get your arse whooped where i come from)...

"Buffett was born in Omaha, Nebraska... the only son of Leila (née Stahl) and businessman/politician Howard Buffett, and second of three children.[14] He worked at his grandfather's grocery store."

So seems he came from a pretty privaleged background as compared to JayZ.
Access to better schools, resources, etc. Plus he had people to teach him about business, handling money, and such.

While I'm guesing Jay was probably self taught... or either picked up pointers from project pimps and hustlas on the block.

Long story short, in comparing Jay to Mr. Buffett... my man was relatively speaking.

Warren turned a 100 dollar bill into a mill...
while Jay turned lint into a G.

In a lotta folks eyes... comparing Jay to Warren is really a complimet to Warren.

They should both be well respected... by everyone.

[cowheel]

and what a great unfluence he is..........songs like ...2 many hoes....american gangster.....dope man........**** all night....

My son looks up neither. He's got me.

good grief, dude

[casmith07]

to be fair

Fabolous hasn't been relevant for years

Completely true. Fabolous is largely irrelevant.

[PullMyFinger]

Call me old or out of touch, but the only one Ive ever heard of is Jay Z.

[WoodysGirl]

Jermaine Dupri's been around alot longer than all of them. Even tho, he's mostly known for being with Janet Jackson. They broke up early in 2009.

Jay-Z's just bigger than all of them. Crossover appeal and whatnot.

I like Fabolous, tho. His last CD didn't get alot of play, but I like it.

[JBell523]

Call me old or out of touch, but the only one Ive ever heard of is Jay Z.

You're old and out of touch. ;)

I forget that a lot of posters on this board are 30+, so I can't really blame people for not knowing who they are.

[ka0tik]

wow'... id love to see what cowheel thinks of the best rapper of all time: Tupac Shakur.

:D

Ice Cube, Scarface, Nas>>>>>Pac

[ka0tik]

they all have good music, but i just dont see the same lyrics and flow that pac has in his songs. i aint gonna deny biggie had some very good songs. but i still think no one even comes close to Pacs' talent.

[The Panch]

Pac had a great presence, but lyrically, he was very limited and repetitive.

[WoodysGirl]

fify:D
I guess... Maybe that's where your memory began.

Actually, the first I remember him from is when the group Kris, Kross came out in the early 90s.

[QT]

Isn't LL Cool J a Cowboy fan?

[ka0tik]

Pac had a great presence, but lyrically, he was very limited and repetitive.

you do have a pt. i mean his lyrics were basically about the same thing over n over. (cops/drugs/enemies) would you agree though that lil wayne sucks now-a-days?!! gosh i cant stand his music.

[The Panch]

Dont even get me started on this bum. He's one of the biggest reasons I cant stand mainstream rap.



rofl @ people who say he brought back raw Hip-Hop to the masses. HAA!!

[thechosen1n2]

Pac had a great presence, but lyrically, he was very limited and repetitive.


im glad someone understands...and i like pac, but lyrically he just not on a level that makes you say wow.

Total bull! Buffet has done more than JZ will ever do. You are clueless to what Buffet has done throughout his career and what he means to all ages. I am not saying JZ has not done some good, he has, but he flaunts it with houses, cars, jewerly, etc. Buffet still lives in his modest home of 40 years in Omaha, NE.

You my friend do not know what you are talking about!

He has accomplished more, and you have Jay z confused with some of these other guys. You never see Jay z with a bunch of gaudy jewelry on. Yeah he has nice cars but they are not all rimmed out (not that there is anything in particular wrong with a rimmed up car) but that is not his thing. Jay z is headed toward Madonna, Elvis, Beatles, Michael Jackson Status. You evidently dont know much about him, because is mind is ridiculous. Plus he gives back. Heck on 9/11 he did the charity concert (packed out madison square) and didnt take a dime for it. He gave millions of his own money for Katrina, 911 and other causes.

[Yeagermeister]

Did he make you Jump Jump?

Absolutely.

I didn't wear my clothes backwards, tho.

If you don't know anything about Jay or rap, then why speak on it? He's one of the most private rappers in the industry. While some guys are running around showing their diamond encrusted toilets on MTV Cribs, he was doing interviews with Larry King and 60 Minutes.

There is no flaunting of anything from him in reality except when he's entertaining.

How in the world did a comparison between Jay Z and Jimmy Buffet get started in the first place? Talk about ridiculous.

But if you want to hate Jay Z, then look no further:

That doesn mean anything, Im a laker fan, and I have been since I started watching professional basketball, and as a teenager I had and wore a Larry Bird Jersey, Jordan Jersey, charles barkley Jersey and so on.
