Tags: jay-z, hip hop, rap, music, trivia

Shawn Corey Carter, better known as Jay-Z, is an American rapper and current president and CEO of Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella Records. Here's what I know about him; what do you know?

  •  
  • MTV named him as "The Greatest MC Of All-Time." Really?
  •  
  • In 2004, his request to be knighted was turned down by Prince Charles. Ooo, burn.
  •  
  • With P. Diddy joined forces to donate $1.3 million to Hurricane Katrina victims. Why is it necessary to "join forces" in order to give money.
  •  
  • Called for a boycott of expensive Cristal champagne after the managing director of the company that produces Cristal, described the hip-hop community’s patronage as ‘unwelcome attention’. Double burn.
  •  
  • Jay-Z has sampled or paralleled gangsta movies in his songs such as "Goodfellas", "Carlito's Way", and "Scarface". Those are some original song titles.
  •  
  • "Big Pimpin'" is based off "Khosara" a 40-year-old Egyptian song. Two bars were taken from "Khosara," and these two bars are looped continuously throughout the song. Now I know who to blame for the nightmare of a song.
  •  
  • Has a street in Nigeria named after him.
  •  
  • Is part-majority owner of the NBA team New Jersey Nets.
