Responses to Jay-Z's NFL deal

Posted: 19 Aug 2019 01:25 PM PDT

Original thread

Media

David Dennis Jr. in Playboy: The Gut Punch of Jay-Z's New NFL Deal

Dave Zirin for The Nation: "Jay-Z Isn't a Sellout, He's a Capitalist: He's a billionaire who wants to be an NFL team owner, and erasing Colin Kaepernick is the price of admission."

Bradford William Davis in NYDN: Jay-Z sold fire in Hell, and sold Colin Kaepernick out

Jemele Hill in The Atlantic: Jay-Z Helped the NFL Banish Colin Kaepernick: The former quarterback caused a problem for the league—which turned to the celebrated rapper for assistance.

People

Eric Reid:

"Jay-Z claimed to be a supporter of Colin [Kaepernick]," Reid said to reporters while wearing a No. 7 jersey stitched with the phrase #IMWITHKAP. "[He] wore his jersey, told people not to perform at the Super Bowl because of the treatment of what the NFL did to Colin, and now he's going to be a part owner. … It's kind of despicable."

Vic Mensa:

"I would be surprised if Kaepernick doesn't get a job with Hov being in the NFL, we know the NFL is a slave game, so to have a black man in there ... especially a black man with a socially conscious responsibility, cause i know that's how Hov feels, man ... I believe that Kap gonna get that job and I believe that Hov's intentions are in the right place." Mensa tells us he still has tremendous respect for Kaepernick and the work he's done -- but says the community should get behind Jay buying an NFL team because ultimately it's a good thing for black people.

Irv Gotti:

"It looks awkward, and I'm gonna give Hov the benefit of the doubt, and hopefully we'll see where Hov is taking it," Gotti says.

"But on first glace, him and Roger sitting there, and Roger not saying nothing, and Jay is doing all of the talking ..."

Freddie Gibbs:

I'm riding with JAY-Z straight up, man, fuck Colin Kaepernick. All y'all niggas marched for Colin Kaepernick and he took a settlement and they didn't tell y'all what he got or nothing. He settled, so let it go. Y'all hating on JAY-Z for trying to own something in the NFL, man. Y'all niggas is some motherfuckin' crabs.

(next day)

I wake up in the morning and tell my best friend 'Fuck you,' I think I told my daddy 'Fuck you' the other day. Don't be hurt by that. But I mean what I said about that other shit . . . My word is bond. For all you little internet trolls, you can keep tweeting and keep chirping and all that old fuckshit. Ain't nobody gon' beat my ass.

(on twitter)

Gibbs: I just had a dope conversation with [Jemele Hill] that was very enlightening. Thanks Sis I appreciate you.

Hill: It was extremely dope! Glad we could make it happen. I felt equally enlightened.

DJ Khaled:

Khaled says he doesn't have a clue which squad might be in the stars for Jay, but he sings his praises here with us.

Collin Kaepernick:

"My Brothers [Eric Ried, Kenny Stills, and Albert Wilson II] continue to fight for the people, even in the face of death threats. They have never moved past the people and continue to put their beliefs into action. Stay strong Brothers!!"

Cardi B:

I feel like Jay-Z can bring back Colin Kaepernick, I feel like he has that power. I feel like Jay-Z can do it. I think that he could make a change. I don't think he'd go on an NFL deal without an agreement. I feel like he went in there like, 'All right, if you guys want me to work with y'all, y'all need to put my peoples in there.' I feel like he's gonna change it.

Killer Mike on Real Time With Bill Maher

"JAY-Z is one of us that made it out the streets, made it in the rooms, and he did what he could when he should," Mike stated, citing the many times JAY-Z took a stand for the black community, such as boycotting the Grammy's for six years. "JAY-Z's play, I believe, not only gives us a seat at the table," he explained, "It doesn't destroy what Kap knelt for."

There was a thread earlier today about Freddie Gibbs' response that was removed because

What NOT to post:

Commentary & Opinions: Commentary posts featuring someone's reaction to or opinions on news or events. Examples include artist opinions on the music, opinions or the actions of another artist, posts from TheNeedleDrop's secondary channel and most commentary from DJ Akademiks on topics not involving himself. This type of content may be posted in Daily Discussion threads and the comment sections of relevant posts.

Since there are a lot of reactions to this and there will probably be more this megathread was made. If you'd like to discuss how you disagree with the removal of that post, feel free to do so in upcoming Daily Discussion thread or yesterday's Sunday General Discussion. This thread is for discussion of the Jay-Z deal and people's responses.

If y'all post responses from people (preferably involved in Hip Hop/R&B/Future Beats) or thinkpieces they can be added to this post
