JAY-Z - The Story of O.J. 

Facts

Same

lol, I’ve watched this song for a million times just to watch that part of “Ok”😂😂😂😂

still here in 2021 breaking my neck to that..."okay"

After listening many times I got what he meant with the "okay" at first i thought he was saying "okay" as in saying OJ is stupid for saying he's just OJ. But after nth times I got it. Jay is simply saying that there is no point in arguing with some people and just worry about building you and those around you. How much time have people spent trying to change another persons mind. OJ is not about that at the end he says it that this advice ain't free, it's worth millions but you can buy for 9.99. Or maybe I'm reading into it too much.

why

hankock09 because oj wasnt part of the black community for a long time, it was like he forgot about being black.

YB lmao I responded very fast, but that’s very true, because I’m black my self and the reason I said that because O.J. Disrespected him self and the black community, like he was afraid of being black, risk taking almost because of all the shitty things that happened to black people

YB the fact is that black people are there own people yet we act like stereotypes because that’s what the white community portrays us as, and no matter if we break that we still Niggas that’s why it’s so powerful like “danm life just suck!”

YB that isn’t true at all, and yes some black people act hood and "Ghetto" yet we dont wanna be them because every time we do something life changing we do get some credit yet we are shut down again and again, we don't wanna blame everything on white people, but they do it to us and other race's like some white blame blacks, Hispanic, jews, asian for all the fucked up shit when its them. And black people dont wanna be below but there not offering jobs for African American that why people get in to drugs and crazy shit, even though they dont want to. We are just try to provide for our self with the little we have and we aren't ungrateful just dissatisfied that we are still treated poorly

Of course you're white, we could tell already with the way you were yappin lmao. Very funny you're talking about 'late capitalism' as if 1) It defines any era distinctly like the 30s or the 70s weren't terrible times and 2) do you know which artist you're listening to?

Wow. Yes

They ain't gone listen though.

"Ya'll think its boujee Im saying its fine but I'm trying to give you a million dollars worth of gain for $99.99" They ain't gonna listen. He's trying to teach about generational wealth, investing in property and antiques to capitalise on the increasing value and and worth of said properties and investments so he can use that money for more growth, and pass it from generation to generation.... Long term wealth, over the short term wealth people endulgde in today...

@@lukehudek6153 😂

@daffyqa yes, but that quote represents a much larger picture than just oj. I feel like some of yall are missing the point of this song

This is not correct. The song is a reference to ESPNs documentary on OJ. Where it's all about OJ going out of his way not to be considered black. Being above the average black person and wanting go be white.

I think this song is great because it’s not pro capitalism per say, it’s just good advice for the system we live under.
