Wow. Sean Carter is an incredible entrepreneur who came from literally nothing, to run very successful companies. 

 

To call him a criminal gangster, and "his crew" whatever that means, is ignorant. Please tell me who this crew is. 

 

Yep I would say " sold more than 100 million records, while receiving 21 Grammy Awards " ain't half bad for a kid that didn't complete high school, got busted for selling drugs, shot his brother and was convicted for stabbing a record producer. Incredible

It goes along the lines of President Obama, be it different public achievements.  Being black and out in public doing business with your head up and a rap star on top of it.  Old Bobby Dylan nailed it with Rubin Carter in "Hurricane".

Sounds like 'prejudice' to me.

I honestly don't. 

 

I don't support one business because it actively does things that hurt me. 

 

You don't support one business because ???, even though you are going against your own interests. 

 

I'm not sacrificing anything. You are. And for what?

 

 

P.S. You should read the Wikipedia page about Sean Carter and his philanthropy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jay_Z

Yes he might be successful today but his past seems to haunt him, And cast doubts on how he made his success, did the selling of drugs help him ?,  Who knows

Why do politics & racism, have to appear in so many audio threads ?

i just don't understand the link between the three topics.

 

Because 'race' and 'politics' are allowed on this site. Surprised 'religion' didn't get brought into it well it

 

Heck, if people stopped buying music from artist that have used drugs, were arrested for drugs or for abuse of some kind, there would be few albums sold these days.

Ah. I hear ya.

And yet another thread goes off track.     Why not lock the thread and start a new one called why people don't like " whatever"

If you lived in a 55 and over community like I do you'd realized there's a lot you don't want to see. 

Sal go down to the Villages and there is a lot you don't want to see or believe.  Its crazy gown there.

Is it true the Villages has the highest STD rates in all of Florida including the Panhandle and Miami and they all have TIDAL HiFi and only listen to MQA albums especially those endorsed by Jay Z or whoever?? Sort of like 'some 80 year white priestess who made JUJU all night long'! (that is from a Tom Russell album not in MQA)

They all play golf

the 9 hole courses or the championship ones and do they 'do it' in or on the golf carts?

 

Well they have 32 Executive courses (9 hole) and 11 Championship courses and its difficult to get on the Championship  courses if your not a resident of the Villages.  But they are all well maintained courses.  The Polo arena for the horse crowd is pretty nice as well.

It still is free. I use a digital antenna for tv and get all the majors plus 5 or 6 other channels in hi def over the air for free.  I listen to 3 local stations quite a bit. One from a college that is eclectic (good jazz programming) one that is purely classical from and arts academy near by and one that is all news from NPR. All free. 

Being free I think all depends where you live.  Where I live your lucky to even get good static on the TV without cable or a dish...
