Is Jay-Z a rapper who knows business or a businessman who knows how to rap? Either way, if there is money to be made Jay-Z knows how to make it happen. Considering that while other industries are tanking during this tough economy, it is no surprise then of the news that Jay-Z is planning his moves in the video game industry. The gaming industry is one of the few bright spots in business these days and Jay-Z wants a piece of it.
According to the recent article by Best Life magazine, Hova had ‚Äú‚Ķa meeting about his potential involvement in a forthcoming video game.‚Äù That’s all the details we have on this one for now but I’m sure after seeing 50 Cent getting some of that gaming money Jay will be planning something big. Oh and check out The Koalition which covers the hip-hop side of gaming. Great stuff.
YAAAA HOV…..
hey this is A.B. frasier from the koalition. thanks for the shout. we should def link up. site is hot. pretty sure u got the email when i left this comment. hit me up
yea should be a HOV tryin to cop B, then taking down Dame, then making that paper thru out
I recommend he do a record label mogul game. or a street hustler one that isnt as violent as Saints Row or GTA but more about the strategy of your rise to fame.
KNOWING JAY ITS PROB MORE A DEAL THAN AN ACTUAL GAME. LIKE A PARTNERSHIP TO LABEL GAMES UNDER. WHY CANT GAMES HAVE LABEL BRANDING LIKE WIT DEF JAM. ROCAFELLA GAMES.
I second that. No way he puts his name on just ONE game.
Go where the money is right? Yea I expect this to be a big deal and not a one off this is Jay we talking about. He probably saw 50 and that one game then was like HEY I CAN DO 10 games. and got himself a 10 game deal. Thats HOVA for ya.
AB what's goin down. Yea I'm a fan of your site as well. I'll hit you up.
