      He promotes drug dealin #$%$ Jay z. he is a good businessman but has no intention on teaching the children and makes them think they should sell drugs to be an entrepreneur. Real blacks say #$%$ him

        yup maybe back in the late 90's when that was what he knew... but im pretty sure his lyrics have progressed since then. yeah first couple cd's were about cars and drugs but his later cd's were about bettering yourself and more about values! but lets be honest a certain type of rap sells hence why has money and rappers like common have little money. if anything be mad at the culture that wants drugs, hoes and cars over values and morals! u mad at the wrong person!

        It is a billion dollar business that comes with a lot of baggage....sorry I don't want my children listening to rappers sing about dope, violence, degrading women, proud of fathering children with unwed mothers, pants hanging off their arse, and gangs. Regard less of what money it generates, it doesn't make it good or acceptable.......

        well be mad at the culture that makes it a billion dollar business! but since it is a billion dollar business, it deserves its dues also! so be mad at americans not people that talk about their REAL life experiences!

        Yes, Oodles, I am dreaming of one day becoming a semi-literate rapper. In the meantime, I will just have to be content watching this guy filch both the "fame" and the money which I deserve. Wait, you're being sarcastic, right?

      What a joke!! Someone who can't sing and who doesn't play a musical instrument plays Carnegie Hall. Seriously people why do you buy this crap?? Would you hire a carpenter who doesn't know how to swing a hammer and drive a nail?? I think not. Yet you'll call someone who talks and yells over a beat and 3 note synth riff looping over and over a musician. It will never cease to amaze me. The dumbing down of our culture at it's best. I can only imagine what's next..........

        lol and who are you again? does anyone really pay attention to no names?? interesting opinion and you can even get a hundred thumbs up but i'll assure that no one hears you. :)

        Interestingly enough DM I am a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist that has sold quite a few CD's in my day and who does have a decent fan base. I am someone who actually sings and who actually plays musical instruments. So I do have a valid opinion on this subject and people do hear me. Although I admit I haven't made the millions of dollars that JZ has I am the real deal. So the question actually is better directed toward you instead of me, "and who are you again?" Obviously just someone who accepts crap in place of talent.

      So much for the old saying about, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?". Now, they just let ANYBODY in the friggin' doors.

      Hes just doing it for bragging rights. #$%$ him. There are alot of rappers with more lyrical content. His rhymes are based on the newest clothes ,cars,etc.

      It baffles me why anyone would want to see rappers or heavy metal rocker bands anywhere, but especially at a venue like Carnegie Hall?
