Not my words or thought but that of Whitlock in an interesting column on the rise
of Jay Z as a sports agent:
" Jay-Z is the holy grail of n*gga rap, the proper name for the genre of music that made Shawn Carter one of our president’s best friends. Oh, I’m sure that’s upsetting and disconcerting for some of you to read. You’d prefer I label the Jigga Man a gangsta rapper. He isn’t. He’s a n*gga rapper. Listen to his music.
On the opening track of "Magna Carta", a song dominated by Timberlake’s singing, Jay-Z pops in just enough to rattle off "n*gga" eight times. He’s perfected the art form of repeatedly saying the N-word over slickly produced musical beats while telling stories about fame, fortune, family and a former life of crime."
