WHO THE HELL IS HE?
Jay-Z, born on the 4th of December, 1969, is one of the most famous figures in the world of rap and trap. Lived in USA, Jay-Z had a long journey from an unknown to becoming the successful rapper as he’s known nowadays.
In the early 1990s, Jay-Z appeared on the rap world with by his first album, “Reasonable Doubt”, in (1996). Due to his quickly wordplay and the lyrics, he represented he gained a good name in the competitive trap field, so we can say that Jay-Z's legacy not only extends beyond his music, it also solidifies his status and name as one of the most respected figures in the world of urban Rap
However, the point in which he mostly took the best decision of his career (he was as sharp as a razor!!), was in 1999, when he founded Roc-A-Fella Records. Apart from music, he started winning money by successful business he had like Rocawear and Roc Nation. Jay-Z briefly retired in 2003 but returned with “The Black Album,” showing such his resilience. His impact not just impacted the music and trap world, that even extends to social issues Finally, his marriage with Beyoncé solidified his status as a cultural icon in music.
HOW IS HE?
01 - HIS STYLE
If I had yo define his style in some words I would say that we can see him dressed in any way, but he usually dresses in an special way. Starting from the bottom, he always wears giant sport-shoes. He's never discreed and always likes standing out from the rest. As for his trousers, it depends. The majority of the times we can see him dressed in wide trousers, but in some concerts he has appeared in shorts (not much shorts because they wear them minimum down-to-the-knees). The t-shirt is always very wide. Always wearing huge t-shirts, I supose thst it's for comodity, and also always decorated in extravagant colors and shapes. However, I can absolutely determine that his favourite color is black.
02 - FIRST PHOTO
In this photo we can see that he’s probably in his wedding or in a very special celebration. The first image we see when we think in Jay-Z is the streets, and due to that, I also wanted to represent the unknown look of this rapper. Starting from the top, we can see he’s wearing an expensive, quite fitted but also a but loose for it to be comfortable, pink, plain, cotton blazer, done at the front by means of an only button that contains, at least, on its right side (probably at the other too but as I can’t see It I can’t say nothing), a wide beautiful pocket; all this combined with a beautiful, tight, white, plain, silk, round necked and long-sleeved shirt, which is also done at the front but now but means not only by one, now by multiple cream buttons. Last but not least, the pair of very expensive, let’s say between tight and loose (a point between), also pink, plain, cotton, with (probably) a pair of pockets on both sides trousers. In his hands, we can see he has a mind-blowing emerald and golden ring which, in my opinion, is the one which mostly adapts to his usual way of clothing (as he’s always wearing lots and lots of very expensive jewellery). Addition - well, everything he’s wearing looks super super expensive, but I can’t write on every clothe expensive because it isn’t logical
03 - SECOND PHOTO
As we can see he dresses in a very similar way as his music style and the lyrics he writes in his songs, so we can say that as he’s a rap singer: he has a very “chill out” style. Let’s start from the top, his cap which is a really expensive, big and loose, black, patterned probably with the badge of the basketball or baseball team he supports (usually these types of caps are decorated with merchandising of the team you support). He’s also wearing a nice, rather loose and long, white, plain, silk, round-necked and long-sleeved t-shirt; As we can see in his hand, he’s also wearing some jewellery: (for instance in his left arm); on his wrist he’s wearing a very expensive, big, golden (probably), plain, gold watch; and also hanging down his neck, we can see that he’s wearing an, also very expensive, huge, silvered, plain, silver necklace combined with a shocking shape on the bottom of it, lastly the trousers; he’s wearing a pair of fashionable, quite loose, fair grey, plain, denim trousers (we don’t really know if they’re flared or not because the image doesn’t let us see it, but I don’t think a rapper would wear that types of pants… or maybe yes, who knows!!).
04 - THE SONG
My favourite song of Jay-Z is obviously Niggas in Paris. Basicly I think that It's the song which made him explode in thw world of rap and make hhim being known by everyone. Created in 2011 with another very known collaborator (Kanye West) made all the stages they sang in become legendary. Just for you to know something about how the song is, at the beggining of the videoclip it has a warning alert for people who can have problems with lots of lights not to watch it. The song is about their luxurious life, a bit "laughing at all the others" and thanking to their gang for all they have lived together, but always with a superiority over all the other people.
