Welcome to Roc Nation

He’s not looking at you rappers, he’s looking past you

Cue the hype machine. Jay-Z has revolutionized the game.

Included in his new Live Nation pact:

  • $150 Million deal
  • $25 Million upfront payment
  • $10 Million advance for 3 albums
  • Distribution, tours, endorsments
  • A Label (Roc Nation)
  • Publishing and licensing
  • $20 Million - other payments

This is a smart move because the old model was broken.

Dang Riz but let’s really analyze this, can Live Nation really hold up their end of the deal without going belly up? Is this possible?

Jay-Z, your entertainment ventures as of late are very ambitious and I am anxiously awaiting their launch and the future success of them all. As usual, I’m sure these ventures in which you are currently pursuing are not going to be one of the typical “I’m a rich celebrity so I wanna own a business” flops.
I, along with a team of similarly ambitious and talented individuals, have been pursuing and marketing a new genre in entertainment called Street Flips and “tricking.” Visit http://www.streetflips.com for more.
Roc Nation signs Street Flips???
Where Brooklyn at?
