Laced"Coachella stage got sanitized
I said I wouldn’t perform for them
And somehow I still fell in line...."Like how he completely ignored this.
LeftsideDidn't get into Yu-Gi-Oh until college. I missed out
I would crack decks and packs lol .
insertcoolnamehereE.g. noname is never doing something like this. If she did, i’d be on her headtop
She originally worked with Amazon for book club until people called her out
Like dog even Drake did it and he rarely ever releases vinyl, this is such a non-issue

shaleiroseNo major mainstream artist NEEDS to work with Target, yet they all do because Target is one of the very few major retailers that still sell vinyl records in stores.
The other two options are Walmart (racist, terrible working conditions) and Barnes and Noble (bookstore, not as much foot traffic as a department store).
No major, stadium-selling artist is gonna go to locally-owned vinyl shops to wide-release a new vinyl. Sucks, but that’s reality
Nobody actually believes Jay-Z would work with local black owned businesses.
Most billionaires(and rich ppl in general) are greedy, which is why they're billionaires to begin with.And at this point in his career Jay-Z has proven time and time again that he is a capitalist above all else.
The point of the critique is that if Jay-Z truly WANTED to, and truly cared, he is fully capable of doing moves like this that help that black community. He just choses not to. And we don't have to coddle him.
Cause again; He gets significantly more smoke than everyone else because he is one of(if not thee) most powerful ppl in black music.- insertcoolnamehere
Twin @ShintaroKago why this nigga think he prove a point naming all the ride fence niggas lmaoooo
lol that’s exactly what I told him next he going to name Meg and Cardi

And yet y’all act shocked every time, it sounds like y’all need to just accept that’s who the nigga is. He’s just like every other mainstream artist in the world. Him being the “richest” one doesn’t change that

You are the one defending him we aren’t shocked by this partnership but don’t think it’s the end of the world. If you didn’t defend him vehemently and make excuses this thread would have half the pages

I’m not defending him at all
I’m saying that a major artist collaborating with Target for a vinyl is a non-issue because it’s standard industry practice. That’s not defending him, that’s calling out the hypocrisy in y’all pretending to care about this specific issue because y’all don’t like the nigga specifically.
It would be like boycotting an artist for releasing music on Spotify because they don’t pay artists a fair share… even though 99.9% of artists in the world release their music on Spotify. It’s a non-issue.
It’s just social media virtue signaling like usual

They paid celebrities for ads with Starbucks and McDonald’s too to make it socially acceptable again it’s how it works . It’s not like they deeply funding Israel but having Israel locations and banning employees from showing love to Palestine started issues

This post is a defense …..
The hypocrisy is in what he said at roots picnic and actions as @insertcoolnamehere and I have been telling you. You can’t be Mr blackity black then work with target , nfl , Barclays gentrification and want to build a Times Square casino . We are saying his actions contradict with how he presents himself
I’ve criticized other artist for doing the same …

You really fear a fist fight for talking crazy about someone who agrees to a friendly fight so much that you rather shoot them dead ? You think that’s the only solution rather than not clown a man for a period of homelessness ? That’s your solution in 2026.
You would kill someone for your right to troll them . That s*** not weird to you ?

Jay Z has told us for three decades that he is a capitalist above all else, even while claiming to be Mr. Blackity Black.
Why are you shocked or enraged that he’s working with Target like every other major mainstream capitalist musician? When has he ever shown that he would do a different move?

No one is shocked . Not a single person . I’ve said in my post since I’ve entered the thread that it’s not shocking but he could have taken better options
You’ve created excuses throughout the thread . Creating excuses is a defense
Saying there aren’t black vinyl stores is a defense

I live in a stand your ground state. If someone were stupid enough to fly to my state and fight over trolling on ktt id assume they (you) were crazy and shoot them. I know you’re kinda slow but think about what you’re saying.

It’s not a defense, it’s a valid response to y’all saying that he “could’ve worked with anyone else”
He quite literally couldn’t have if you know anything about the vinyl industry right now

Y’all would rather he worked with Walmart? A racist company that has terrible working conditions for its employees? Would that have made y’all happier?
