Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Black hip-hop superstars and Kanye

2001.

June 24.

Today is one of the four major sports leagues in the United States, the annual NBA draft night.

NBA Draft is the NBA's annual event to select new players.

During the draft, 30 NBA teams can select young male players who want to join the NBA. The selected players are called NBA rookies.

All American players can automatically enter the NBA draft upon graduating from college, or they can declare for the draft between high school graduation and college completion.

International players have certain restrictions, but they can also participate in NBA Draft Day.

After each regular season, the NBA conducts a random lottery.

There were 14 teams that did not qualify for the playoffs. The specific rules of the lottery system are as follows: 14 small balls are in turn labeled with numbers from 1 to 14 and put into the rolling barrel.

Randomly toss 4 numbered balls, regardless of the order drawn, there will be 1001 different situations.

Like the Houston Rockets, "luck" is better this year.

In these 1001 cases, the number one pick that was most beneficial to the Rockets was drawn.

That means in round 1, you can be the first person to choose your team's favorite basketball player. This year's NBA Draft takes place at Madison Square Garden.

The selection was about to begin, a large crowd had gathered outside the arena, and traffic was very congested.

A large number of NBA fans who bought or received tickets tonight are eager to watch today's game.

Like many black people, the young black man Kanye West also accompanied his boss, the famous American superstar Jay-Z, a black man named Sean Corey Carter, to the current Madison Garden square.

It is different from regular fans. Big stars like Sean Corey Carter come to the audition and buy the most expensive tickets, so there will be a special channel.

This walkway is also the path for players and staff to enter and exit during the week.

Usually when a competition takes place. Most journalists will wait outside this aisle.

Because you can catch big fish, you can receive enough big news. Today is a special draft day.

Of course there are also many sports and entertainment reporters, coming here to film NBA stars and entertainment stars entering.

Sean Corey Carter, aka Jay-Z's nanny car, stopped in front of the door.

Many paparazzi reporters recognized the identity of this nanny car.

"Jay-Z is coming!"

I don't know who shouted. Very quickly, there were many reporters gathered around. They raised their cameras and microphones and wanted to interview this famous hip-hop superstar.

The driver's cabin and passenger cabin of the nanny car are open.

Bodyguards and drivers stepped out to block the journalists' path.

In Jay-Z's Roc-a-Fella company, Kanye West acts as a music producer. He also now acts as a temporary driver for his boss.

At this time, it was only natural that a temporary bodyguard would come as a guest. Another professional bodyguard with a bewildered face blocked the reporters outside.

Jay-Z, a tall figure inside the car, waited for the situation outside to stabilize before opening the door and stepping out of the car.

The black hip-hop superstar stepped out of the car. The cameras in the hands of the surrounding reporters suddenly lit up with crazy flashes of lightning. The light from the flash blinds Kanye West wearing dark glasses.

Kanye West turns 24 years old this year, making many people jealous.

Young black people especially hoped that they too could one day become hip-hop superstars and benefit from Jay-Z's glamorous treatment at the time.

Amidst the sound of the camera flash.

Jay-Z coldly got out of the car and coldly accepted an interview from the reporter. The hip hop superstar said a few brief words and took a few photos together.

And then under the protection of bodyguards, assistants and Kanye West, the company's music producer and temporary driver.

Meet at the special entrance at Madison Square Garden Arena.

Having passed the first security check, Jay-Z's star-studded team passed without a hitch.

I just checked the tickets, looked at Jay-Z's star face and the security guard let them in. This makes Kanye West jealous.

Kanye also really wants to be treated like that. Just by swiping his face, he can go through the VIP star channel that ordinary fans cannot access.

Kanye West couldn't help but clench his fists, he really wanted to be treated like that.

He really wants to be famous, he really wants to be a superstar. It's just Kanye West watching Jay-Z.

The boss did not promise Kanye West, nor did he promise to help him release an album.

Kanye West felt he couldn't wait any longer.

Maybe I should leave Sean, he just treats me like a tool.

At Roc-a-Fella, I had no chance of success. Kanye West thought.

But at this time, the team star was stopped inside the second security procedure.

This security procedure requires a physical search of Jay-Z and others.

"Hey~ Are your eyes broken? Dude, don't you realize it's Jay-Z? I've never heard that people going through VIP channels have to go through security checks!

Jay-Z's manager, Richard, stepped forward.

Jay-Z has a gloomy face and is in a bad mood. Even though he is in a good mood, his face is still gloomy.

This is a breed-specific skin effect that outsiders cannot envy.

But the staff of the second security stage said in bewilderment:

"No matter who comes in today, they must go through a security check. That's the rule."

The manager was angry and wanted to talk. Still became the boss, founded his own company and Jay-Z, who knew about some social risks, blocked the activities of the representative – this representative was a relative of Jay-Z and also is black.

"Gentlemen. My name is Jay-Z, maybe you don't know me, maybe you haven't heard my songs. It doesn't matter, it's a matter of personal taste. But I'm a star, I'm a public person." and I cannot be searched arbitrarily.

"This isn't the first time I've watched the NBA draft," Jay-Z said. I watched it four or five times, and every time I looked at the star channel, no one was looking for it. But this time I might think you are here to fight me? Are you targeting black people, gentlemen? »

"I'm sorry." Among the security guards, a white bodyguard stood up.

"We did not intentionally target anyone. Recently, Mr. Michael Jackson also came here. He also approved our security check. He didn't have as big of a reaction as you. »

Is Michael Jackson here today?

The black people present were a bit surprised.

Although it has not been noticed in recent years, the name MJ still plays an important role in the American entertainment industry.

Michael is first class, no one can compare to him. "Actually?" Manager Richard was a little skeptical.

"I don't need to lie to you." The white-shirted bodyguard said: "You'll know when you go in."

Jay-Z opened his mouth and said Michael Jackson was also black and you're targeting black people.

Right before opening his mouth, at this moment, a tall black man who looked stronger than the average NBA player stepped out.

The strong black man said to the white bodyguard: "Andrew, what happened?

"Director Lincoln, this Mr. Jay-Z and his people. They are unwilling to cooperate with our security checks and body searches." » the white bodyguard said to the tall black man. "Oh? Look who it is, Jay-Z, a superstar in the hip-hop world."

Lincoln, who is extremely oppressive, comes out and stands in front of Jay-Z and other non-short people, as well as the slightly shorter Shaquille O'Neill.

"It doesn't matter who it is today, whether it's Anderson or Kruger, the two leaders of Blood Gang and Lame Gang will be wanted by us! Jay-Z? Are you more ruthless than Anderson or Kruger?

Lincoln's words matched his tall and strong figure and his fierce expression.

All members of the hip-hop black circle were silent.

Kanye West thinks this "O'Neal" trumpet is fierce.

Names Anderson and Kruger. It would be relatively foreign to middle-class whites, Asians, Hispanics, or blacks. But for the black gangsters down there, or the black gangsters like Jay-Z are gangsters.

The names of these two people are like the Sicilian mafia hearing the name of a godfather.

Of these two black men, one is now one of the Blood Gang's most famous senior leaders.

The other is one of the most famous senior leaders of the Lame Gang.

What about lame gangs and blood gangs. Exit and turn right or left into Chicago.

Looking at Lincoln's fierce appearance, the "security guards" next to him became stronger and stronger, some even wearing weapons directly on their belts.

In one corner, Jay-Z even saw someone pointing an exaggerated machine gun at him.

If it weren't for Madison Square Garden, Jay-Z might have thought he and the others were caught in a gang war.

After a moment of silence, Jay-Z raised his hand: "Okay, okay. Stay calm, my friend. I do not know who you are. But I accept your examination, after all it is Madison Square Garden, not Chicago, right?

As soon as Jay-Z confessed, the fierce expression on trumpeter O'Neal Lincoln's face immediately disappeared.

"Haha~ That's right, it should be like that. Sean, I love hearing you sing "Heartbreaker" with Mariah Carey. Hey, this little white girl, she's so sexy~ Tell me, have you fucked her yet?"

Lincoln smiled and laughed, and Kanye West, like Jay-Z, relaxed.

But young Kanye West thought this big man who looked like O'Neal was cool.

Looks like a bodyguard.

Kanye West feels the same way about becoming a future hip-hop superstar. You must also find such a bodyguard!

Jay-Z and others quickly accepted a security check and found two guns on the bodyguard and officer. "Oh, that's good stuff." Lincoln laughed loudly, holding up two guns: "I will give it back to you when I go out. But tonight I can't bring it with me, my boss is inside tonight."

At this time, Jay-Z also began to wonder who Lincoln's boss was.

What kind of character would have a bodyguard like Lincoln who would chase away even the mention of Anderson and Kruger.

Maybe President of the United States?

Jay-Z, who hasn't read much, thinks that only these types of big guys can resist the bloody gang and the lame gang. Not only Kanye West, Jay-Z also wants to talk to Lincoln right now.

But Lincoln pushed them away laughing and smiling, with no intention of contacting Jay-Z and the others.

When these black people entered, we were the only ones left in the aisle for the time being.

"I" Lincoln spat: "Hey, you boring bunch. What's good about hip-hop music? I listen to oriental music to nourish my emotions now! Fake oil!"

While speaking and cursing, he pointed two fingers at the backs of Jay-Z and the others.

At this time, someone entered through the star channel.

Lincoln said to the white bodyguard who arrested Jay-Z and them earlier:

"Hey man, why stop there, keep going, I'm here. We don't need to be afraid of whoever comes. Who are we? We are the rock of safety, we are the rock of Abel Smith! Abe Smith's rock! !"

On the other side, Jay-Z, Kanye West and others entered the field.

The bodyguard and representative found a seat. Big stars also buy tickets, but the seats are better than the front row because they buy tickets in the front row at a high price.

But Jay-Z was no longer interested in tonight's NBA game.

What the black hip-hop superstar cares about most is who's coming tonight. And now who is the trumpet boss O'Neill, the one who can really act as a bodyguard like that.

Could it be that this guy really isn't afraid of Anderson or Kruger, and actually despises the Blood Gang and the Lame Bang?

Jay-Z didn't understand and wanted to talk to someone so he found Kanye West by his side.

Kanye West was really curious at this time, the two immediately started chatting.

Too bad, both are figures in the notoriously ignorant black American hip-hop scene. The two come together and they can't explain why they're right.

Fortunately, even if they know nothing, they are not stupid.

Everyone guessed that the security of tonight's NBA game was so tight, there was bound to be a big move about to happen.

If a big move happens, the NBA's big move will certainly come with it.

Then just meet Stern and the others where they are tonight. Maybe you'll find out which important people will be present tonight.

Jay-Z and Kanye West thought this method was good and the two black men began searching for Stern.

Before long, sharp-eyed Kanye West found Stern.

"Over there." Kanye West points in one direction.

"Oh look." Jay-Z also said: "Look who's next to Stern."

"I got it. An old white man? Fakeyo, another old white man." Kanye West couldn't help but scream.

Jay-Z, who became the boss and founded the company, is quite capable.

When he grew up, he realized the identity of the old white man who made David Stern seem a bit humble.

"West. This old ghost appears to be Buffett. »

"Who is Buffett?"

"Stock God, Buffett Stock God!"

"What* Fark? Is Warren Buffett here?" Kanye West of course knows Buffett.

As American adults, some may not know the names of the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the Secretary of the Treasury, or other cabinet secretaries.

But it is absolutely impossible not to know the names Soros and Buffett.

These two items were new lighthouse beads in the 1990s. Public opinion at that time was very famous and every American knew about them.

Kanye West, like Jay-Z, was surprised.

I met Buffett at the NBA Draft.

This is equivalent to suddenly seeing Xiao Ma Lao Ma Xiao Xu and Lao Wang before their defeat in CBA China.

Equivalent to the sum of these four people. are Chinese. Of course, if you see it there, you will be surprised.

"What is this, Fark!" Kanye West couldn't help but say: "Buffett bought the NBA?"

Jay-Z also lost, black people have never heard of this type of rich people appearing in the NBA.

"Wait a minute." Kanye West, with better eyesight, saw a young man sitting next to Buffett.

David Stern after his conversation with Buffett. At this moment, he was like a dog's paw, smiling and talking to the teenager.

"This... this seems to be Abel Smith?" » Kanye West asked uncertainly.

Jay-Z recognized at a glance that this was the latest giant prehistoric crocodile to break into the American media and entertainment world.

"It's Abel Smith! It's Falk!" Jay-Z said:

"Both Abel Smith and Buffett are here. No wonder the outside inspection is so strict! Fake! I guess even when the Commander-in-Chief comes, things will be like this, right?!"

Compared to old lamp beads, which are already dull.

New Abel Smith Beaded Lighthouse Light.

His popularity in America is greater than that of Soros and Buffett combined.

Furthermore, he is also a super media and entertainment tycoon.

are industry moguls associated with what Jay-Z and Kanye West do. The two black men were of course more familiar with Abel's story.

"Oh, I remember." Kanye West said with excitement:

"I remember a report, Abel Smith bought an NBA team! Apparently it was the Rockets in Houston. Is he here to watch a Rockets game?"

"It has to be like this." Jay-Z also said:

"Buffett may be the one he brought. The news from these white people is that these two are good friends, working together."

Kanye West nodded:

"It's true, it's true. It should be like this. Otherwise, how could an old white man like Buffett come to watch the NBA!

Jay-Z jealously said: "Hey, I really want to buy an NBA team. Like Abel Smith."

Kanye West thinks you're far away from Abel Smith.

He is one of the richest people on Forbes.

is a super tycoon in Hollywood, with a movie company, a music company, and even an oil company. Looks like it's the vampire tycoon of Wall Street.

As massively successful as he is, Jay-Z is a hip-hop star and a greedy boss.

I also want to be like Abe Smith, dreaming.

Of course, Kanye West won't show that.

Two black hip-hop practitioners spoke with Abel Smith about this topic. Chatting away, Jay-Z arrived at MGM Entertainment's DreamWorks Music.

Jay-Z said contemptuously:

"Abe Smith, a white guy, let David Goffin, a fucking guy, buy the Hipgnosis brand. They think they can come into hip-hop and have a meal? Hey, hip-hop n't just for for us black people." Everyone's website! White people, get out of here! "

"Hipgnosis was bought by Abel Smith? » » Kanye West asked.

Hipgnosis is a famous hip-hop music label in New York. It focuses on black hip-hop and is one of the major labels in the circuit.

Either way, it's still much better than the Jay-Z-starred Roc-a-Fella company.

A music company so big that Kanye West at that time couldn't catch his eye.

He said the acquisition was acquired by Abel Smith.

Kanye West is jealous of that from the bottom of his heart. "Correct." Jay-Z lowered his voice and said:

"The little white man founded DreamWorks Music at MGM. In six months, he acquired more than 20 music labels! Now, in terms of size, he has surpassed BMG!"

This is the first time Kanye West has heard of such a thing.

When he was young, he was still a music producer.

"Wow, over 20 music labels? Are they all on the Hipgnosis scale?" » Kanye West asked curiously. Jay-Z said: "It's similar. Anyway, I heard the worst is like my company Roc-a-Fella."

Having finished speaking, Jay-Z lowered his voice again.

This hip hop superstar is also afraid that when he says small things about others, they will be transmitted to others.

Jay-Z doesn't think he could handle this if Abe Smith really wanted to clean house.

"Hipgnosis, bought by this guy, wants to be the No. 1 label in our circle," Jay-Z whispered. They recently started recruiting. Hey, that was just wishful thinking! Some have already boycotted, let's wait until we unite. Get up and teach that little white guy a lesson! Let these white ghosts know that doing hip-hop is only for us black people! »

Jay-Z was very excited when he said this.

Kanye West listened and his heart moved as well.

Is Hipgnosis recruiting?

Boycott black singers. Doesn't that mean it's an opportunity for me?

A young music producer had an idea in mind.

This makes Kanye West unable to stop looking up at Abel Smith.

Maybe

Kanye West thought.

Is this a good choice? Black youth are uncertain, but Kanye West does not lack courage.

He has made his decision.
