      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.

      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

    • @ariel6285

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

      He's saying don't rep a neighbourhood you don't own. Talking about territorial gang wars , conflicts and disputes, saying they are not worth it when it's all just owned by white people anyway and you and yours have always just been tenants. It's also a metaphor for African American experience in America in general. Dying, slaving for a place at the very best, doesn't care about you just to make the old masters more money.

    People missed the all point he is talking about even if you are a light skin ,dark skin,poor or rich black person you are still a black person you are still a «nigga» to them and OJ is representing some black people who try to run away from their “blackness” people who don’t want to be assimilated to black people. And he is giving money advice to the black community because most of the time they spend it on non essential things.For those who are offended by the way they draw the black people he did it on purpose for people to be shocked (and to remind us that was how they saw us before and that’s how they use to draw us).
