If a father could do one thing to make the world a better place for his newborn daughter, what do you think it would be. World peace? Safer streets? Financial security? In the case of rapper and business mogul, Jay-Z since security and finances aren’t pressing issues for him and his family, and world peace is out of his control ther is a small change he can make that would have far reaching impact — stop using the word “b—-.” Jay-Z is all to well aware of the influence his musics and his lyrics have on the actions and attitudes of youth here and over seas. Check out Jigga’s letter to Blue Ivy Carter, he and wife Beyonce’s brand new baby girl. Before I got in the game, made a change, and got rich, I didn’t think hard about using the word B—-. I rapped, I flipped it, I sold it, I lived it now with my daughter in this world I curse those that give it. I never realized while on the fast track that I’d give riddance to the word bitch, to leave her innocence in tact. No man will degrade her, or call her out her name the women won’t despise her and call her the same. I know it’s gonna miss me cuz we been together like Nike Airs and crisp tees when we all used to hang out front singing 99 problems but a lady ain’t one. Excuse me miss, can I be your mister cuz I can tell the difference from a little girl and a sister, She never grew up, her father left her alone I promise not to talk like we used to until Kingdom Come. I’m so focused on your future, The degradation has passed I wish you wealth, health, and insight forever young you may pass. Blue Ivy Carter, my angel. The artists who keep us captivated with their ability to spit rhymes and for those men — boyfriends, husbands, and fathers too — who listen intently to the words and mimic them in thought and deed, will have to be vigilante about protecting their children from the insults which might be leveled their way. They especially can’t add to the denigration of a generation and the degradation of girls and young women. Think about your favorite celebrity who is or may become a parent. How would you like their letter to read? What would your letter say? Thoughts? |

NICE!!!!
That's absolutely beautiful
I think this is great but why did it take him having his own daughter to realize this?????????
Wouldn't it be all too well instead of all to well?
thas wats up!!! Congrats to you both on a new blessing!!
BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE THE SPELLS THAT LITTLE GIRLS' CAST ON THEIR FATHERS. LITTLE MS. CARTER IS TRULY BLESSED IN SO MANY WAYS. AND SOMEHOW JAY IS A LITTLE MORE ATTRACTIVE WITH HIS DAD SUIT ON.
I think this was a great idea, maybe other rappers will follow.
LOVE IT! More men should be as mindful when it comes to their daughters.
Go enjoy your baby and stop making a media circus out of it...when people start chasing your family with cameras remember who brought them in!
I am proud of Jay-Z. People say once you have a child and become a parent certain things become obvious that weren't before. I am glad that baby Blue Ivy helped her daddy see that. Holla
oh pls now he dont wanna use the word anymore. didnt he have a mothe, sister and a wife before he had his daughter. Jay-Z is full of shit!
That is so beautiful. Good job Jay and congrats to u and Beyonce'. I think the name is fresh too.
This was beautiful. But it took him to have a daughter to stop using the B????? word.
i agree jay but sometimes being a bitch gets the job done and is necessary! gotta change the lyrical content for the kids. artists should make 2 versions of the same album
I think it is beautiful and all...but im sure he been knew how deeming the bit** is... Besides now he is having this new found epiphany and the girl is not even 13 yet...i mean i guess I should say congrats...
it shudnt have to take for him to have a daughter to stop using that word..he does have a mother
DEVIL!!!!!!
Oh please, she's going to be called all kinds of Bs just like he did to other women and set the example for many men and women he had an influence over. Everybody wants to ” open their eyes” when the takes are turned. But he knew what the degrading stuff he says means, and his excuse wasn't being a kid. He's a grown man.
When you know better, you do better!
IT TAKE A REAL MAN TO PUT IT OUT LIKE THAT THANK YOU JAY-Z ;)
Well, I think this is nice however, it sad at the same time. He has a whole other daughter in her teens almost. So you wait to have Bey baby to say you won't call another woman a Bitch. I guess honey!
Alot of people dont realize when a man have a daughter in his life, if he is a true man , it will make u see life in a whole new light an it does change u. So congrats to jay an b!
I agree with some of the others its good he changed, but he should have thought about not using the b word as a way of showing respect to all women. he came from a woman that should have made him not want to use that word
So, I guess it was okay to refer to your Mother, Aunts, Sisters, Cousin and wife as BITCHES, but not your daughter.....BItch Please! you should of been changed the game, but u knew that would mess with your change and since u was on ya paper chase, u had no problem callin women Bitches in their face.
P.s. I guess now is better than neva.
This is soooo deep!!! As usual, Jay-Z, makes the words he says, ring honesty & intelligence.... Jus luv him, Bey & Blue!!!!!much love :)
Good.
Never understood why rappers degrade women.
"And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women"
This is one of the realest things ever written. People will call Jay-Z a hypocrite but that's is because they don't understand. How can he honestly say he loves his daughter if he doesn't respect her mother; His sister, aunt's and cousins? I used to say all me weren't shit. Then I birthed sons. I cant condemn them before they become men. He may not be able to control the tongues of every person but he can tame his own.
Awesome. Praise God and now the N word has to go too. It's time to design a better world all around cus it's goin down. Our God is pissed now. The Bible has opened its pages and emerged upon this Earth. I for one, know my worth. I will give back as much as I can to the one that gave to me. Peace to Jay Z.
i think its all about timing too, when you finally have a family and everything you got to make cetain sacrifices as a rapper including lifestyle especially with a daughter you have to give a lil.
All men want to have a little boy, but need to have a little girl. Little girls bring change in every man
Though this is wonderful, I was wondering why this wasnt in place when he met his wife, Beyonce. Keep up the good work and Blessings to the family!
I mean thats nice n all but what about other peoples daughter there he go again like his child is better then anyone elses miss me with all this people have babies everyday he aint the first n sure aint the last
It took him having a daughter to using the B word. I'm not impress by this at all....
Ok congrats to Bey and Jay but really millions of ppl have baby girls that they consider their princesses but now he decides not to use the B word oh please. He is full of shit!! like he saying f u all daughters but mine is above all. I think not! Get over urself!!!!!
Soooo does his mom n his wife mean nothing??? Are they bitches???? I think it's stupid that he now decides to not use that word. That shit won't last forever. Plus he's only one person the rest of the world is not going to stop using that word, be serious.
I love it I think its beautiful that he wants to change from using That word, its really big of him to care about his baby girl this much. Big up's to jay-z and Congrats on your little angel!!!
I think that it is cool that he has this plan and goal for his daughter. Although it shouldn't have taken him having a daughter to realize that the word ain't nothing. He should've realized that when he married B or even before that.
I think it's admirable, but like many of you have already said...it shouldn't have taken him this long to recognize the negative connotation and implications of the use of the word in hip hop.
U dumb mothafkas... It took his daughter to stop using the word bitch because he doesn't want nobody disrespecting his own... So why not stop using the word? When blue gets older she will know her daddy stopped using that word out of live and respect. I wish some ass would call my daughter a bitch... Better get their feeding tube ready... Im just saying
illumanti illuminati
That is absolutey beautiful...hopefully the youth, teens & young men he influences will listen & take heed...jay, congrats to u & the mrs...blue is very blessed to have u guys as parents..
That was real poetry in motion.... beautiful....
Jay, glad that your little girl will make a change in the language you use in your song. You are a daddy now!!!!!
It's beautifully state!!! Only if it didn't take Jay to have a daughter of his own before he realize how precious girls/women (mother/wife) are.
To be honest, Jay needs to see some of the things that are being said about his daughter because they are saying the name they gave her has to do with Illuminati. Very degoratory things are being said about a child that is only a few days old. And I dont know if this is a letter or a rap? Most first time parents write their letters differently. Talking about seeing their child born, what hopes and dreams they have for them, how much they will love and protect them. There has just been to much hype over this. It's kinda getting annoying..Sorry..
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, I LOVE IT.......AND I LOVE U JAY Z, BEYONCE, AND BLUE IVY........
Yo it was fire j I'm be the poet next time around man I like it can I share this link hova
LAME! Now he decides it's inappropriate. Tsk please!
Very good, now let's stop using the N word and then you got me sold!!!
Beautiful......ENJOY PARENTHOOD!
Everyone learns at their own pace. It took having a daughter to teach Jay an important lesson that some of us already know. Instead of knocking it, be happy that someone with such influence has learned something and can teach it to many more.
You have a mother and grandmother, sister to. It should not have taken you to bring life in the world with your wife to change your tune. I Love my that, maybe I should have wrote the song.
This sum real live bullshit.. Now you wanna RESPECT women...You got your Mother,Grandmother,Wife etc... And it took for you to hav your own to realize the stupidity you was spittn... >>> you asshole you getts the middle finger<<<
Y would it take home to have a babygirl to feel this way.....but yet he has a grandmother, a wife & plus his mother whom he speaks highly of?
Congrats to you both, sometimes it takes someone/something that has your heart,spirit and soul. For you to fully and truly understand how wrong you were.No real man should ever want any woman to be called the B**** word.... If you have the power to save Blue Ivory Carter from never being degraded in anyway."Greatest Gift Ever"!! May GodContinue to bless you with Power to Change the World.....
Him*
Excuse my typos, but I was flowing (LOL)
Beautiful, nice and thoughtful. He didn't think enough of him mother, grandmother, sister(s) and wife before now. Guess it doesn't hold them in the same regard. Now ain't that a B!tch as well as some sh!t.
Soo Beyonce isn't good enough for him to stop sayin B****???? Cmon!! Haha!! He was sorry for big pimpin when he was married now this!! Rofl!!
OK I AM SO SICK OF J&B HE HAS A DAUGHTER ALREADY ALMOST IN HER TEENS,HE HAS A MOTHER FEMALE COUSINS AUNTIES,AND MAYBE EVEN A GAY MALE COUSIN,",,SOOOO I AM NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE FACT THAT HE MAY OR MAY NOT BE USING THE "B"WORD ANYMORE.SNOOP DID THAT SAME THING WITH MARIJUANA IN REGARDS TO HIS KIDS WELL WHAT ABOUT YOU RESPECTING OUR KIDS.GET OVA YOSELF !!!!
Good job Jay! And for all of you people asking "why it took so long" for him to come to this conclusion, I'm sure ALL of you came to important realizations in your life the first time "EVERYTIME". #sideeye. Hypocrites!
Uummm what about his son??? Not his first child...smdh
What if he had all boys ?
"Uummm what about his son??? Not his first child...smdh"
So are you the son's mother? Were you there when he had sex with the child's mother. Ya'll people kill me believing everything you read like you were there, lol!
That was beautiful.
This is the same man that told Oprah that the N-word was "just a word". But now that he has a daughter, he is going to discontinue the B-word? It as well is just a word...used in the exact same context but for women as opposed to African Americans. Hmmm
I agree with Anonymous 110%. its a nice and needed sentiment and i guess its never too late to take on positivity. but I too ask... what about OUR daughters that heard his lyrics?? do they not deserve the same respect as Blue and her mother? at any rate, congrats to you both Jay. *smile*
a son not his first child not his first daughter.look i am glad tha man is trying to wipe the eye boogers out of his eyes,but she will be called out of her name,she will know humility and she will feel hurt and pain so "buckle up j"you are on deck and congrats on the baby where ever she came from:>>
I have mixed feelings about this, either way it goes it is a positive movement so I love and respect him for it!On one hand I agree that he had a wife mother sister etc. before he had a daughter so why did it take him so long to realize that the word bitch has been demeaning to all women including the women that he loves? On the other hand, better late than never! If it took the birth of his daughter to open up another softer more compassionate side then so be it!I hope that his new found level of maturity and respect for women will start a movement in the rap game! If other rappers followed suit this could began to pave the way for us women to start gaining back respect from men. Rap music is so influential. The same way men have been influenced to degrade and mistreat women through lyrics we can turn it around and influence them to respect us. way to go JAY Z on being the first to make a change!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#Sideeye hypocrites..hahaa we not the 1s sayn "were no longer usin the word" (BITCH).. eff JayZ
I agree with the majority. But then again I could care less because he does what he wants and ppl will still keep him rich.
So he's gonna stop now because of the birth of his daughter wow!!!!! what about the other before her(Is she better than the others, I think not) that just goes to show how he feels about the world and the people in, other peoples daughters and son's for those that followed his negative out message...smh.....these people don't care for ya!!!! but yet peps support them Thank GOD that I never did....SMH!!!!!!!!!
I pray that she don't cater to the devil.......begone satan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the girl is a bitch too... Jzay, the same way you call women a bitch, other people have the right to call your daughter like that homie.. You have to respect yourself in order for others to respect you... Good luck!
IF HAVEING A BABY GIRL CHANGED HIS WAY OF HOW HE WORD HIS SONGS THAT ONLY MEAN THAT HE HAS TRULY GROWN UP A BECAME A REAL MAN...SO I SAY TO MR.CARTER THANK YOU.....
i just love it if every father think like you jay z the world would be a better place
This is bullshit. I don't buy it or believe it. He is wack. So he raised an entire generation of young boys to say BITCH (him and too short and chappel) and now he has a child and it's suppose to stop. You are ridiculous, I find it hard to believe that he just realized that this was a hurtful and degrating word. He has a momma. What did his wife just turn into a woman? Did she just come out of drag? So, no not accepting it. His daughter will be called out her name by the boys he raised, and she WILL ANSWER!He became rich off the word, stay true jackass. Your daughter is feed because you say BITCH. Keep keeping it real. I don't see chappel going all "loser" on us. It's too late, your a BITCH. and a BITCH lover. and you have a BITCH daughter. remember the term you love so much.
It doesnt matter WHEN he stopped.. its for the right reason, and its a positive step, that may influence thousands of people.. Why do you people on the internet have to be so negative about EVERYTHING.. "He shoulda been stopped using it", "he gotta mother sister aunt", etc. The man is making improvements within himself, and STILL you judge? The fuck you want him to do? Now if he kept using the word, yall hoes would still have something to say... Be happy that he's trying to better himself for his daughter.. And stop acting so high and mighty..This is a decision of a good man. Respect, Hov.
That all well and good now but that dont change the fact that all of our kids heard it come from his mouth "DAILY". Dont go changing now cause yours in the world mine has been around for 25 years. I pray that your MONEY can protect your daughter from the mean streets out there>>>>> oh yea Congrats on finally growing up!!!!!
Better NOW then never congratulations.. on the gains in your life j..
It was ok...just wondering why it took you having a daughter to sway your mind from saying the word when there are plently of other important woman in your life, mother, wife, sisters, aunts...blah blah....I'm more upset with this name...I hate it....Blue Ivy....smh
Well I still don't believe she is there baby due to the fact most women in the industry shown there stomachs from time to time in the spot lights. Like Mariah to name one, she was shown often of her baby bump asw well as Helle Berry. Now why on most talk shows it was shown that she sat and walked as if there was no strain on her back and I know for a fact she wouldn't be able to sit up straight on some steps that was posted on Wendy Williams show as she fronted out some footages of real pregnant womaen compared to Beyonce. Plz Jigga my Nigga get real
it does matter because it's not sincere and the kids won't buy it. So yea lets send some fake accolades. better late than never. all that nonsense. Nevermind that it will take more than this damn poem. It took you 10 + years to damage the african american culture, it's gonna take at least that much time to fix it. Get busy then you will hear a good job from me buster. Ya'll kids will follow him anywhere, the responsible adults ask that he act that way. PERIOD amen. Keepin it real all day all night. stop frontin and put your money where your mouth is. I wannna here the tupac song redone by JZ!!!!!!!!! to start
Okay I get it, and it's cool. But this isn't his first daughter. He HAS a daughter who's either in her late teens or early twenties. Why now, why not the first one?
I AM PROUD OF JAYZ STEPPING UP AND BEING A MAN AND A FATHER HE KNOWS HOW HIS MUSIC MIGHT HAVE AN INFLUNCE ON HIS BABY GIRL MUCH LUV JIGGA I ALWAYSS HAVE LOVED YOU AND YOUR MUSIC
This is fake... It's not really a letter from J. But still very nice.
Glad that his daughter could be the agent that changed the way that he relates to women in his songs... why not his wife or his mother though? Guess I will never understand since I will never be a man changed by the experience of having his first daughter.
God bless Jay and Bee and their daughter. Wishing them a life full of happiness. On another note it's said that the birth of his daughter has prompted him to not use the Bword...goes to show you the respect he had for the other women in his life. SAD really SAD...guess we have to just say you have to start somewhere and the birth of his daughter is a start. Hope he means what he says because we all know the power of the mighty $$$.
This is a beautiful letter to your beautiful Little Angel justborn.
To all of y'all that's talking down about J&B and there new born y'all are all some haters and only J and his wife know about his personal business NOT Y'ALL and regardless of what u haters say they still gon get paper!! Let these grown people live there life's and enjoy there 1st and only child now and STOP HATING ON THIS BABY!
This is Beautiful!! I'll tell you my Hubs didn't change till we had our first daughter. Daughters really do chance a man for the better :)
Emotionally this a priceless moment for father and daughter.
Reality, I feel like if you are aware that your music and tour image is a role model to the youth all around the world, why does it take for you to have a daughter to stop using such inappropriate language. What about your wife, she should be upset that you didn't write her a letter stating you would stop referring to women as the "b" word. I just do not understand, does he not care about the young women or men that quotes his music, "I got 99 problems, but a b ain't one."
Whether it takes u 10 seconds or 10 yrs. It doesn't matter just as long as u got the message, some ppl go a lifetime not gettin it, so be proud that he was one that did... CONGRATULATIONS BEYONCE' & JAY-Z, I WISH U ALL THE BEST AND KEEP GOD FIRST IN ALL U DO, GOD BLESS!!!!!!!!!
Just the pheromones talking.. Wait till Blue Ivy gets like 3 years old lol!
"When Jena 6 don't exist tell em that's when I'll stop saying bitch... BITCH! " Jay Z
So having a mother, sisters, or a wife didnt make him want to stop saying the word B--? And furthermore he is saying it is ok for him so call someone else a B-- (who is also someones daughter) yet get sentimental at the birth of his own?? Pahleeze. Come off it. Next Story please.
Yea she (b)orn (L)iving (U)nder (E)vil (I)lluminat's (v)ery (Y)oungest
i know you are excited, but it's a little too late Jigga.
I mean this is nice and all but before the birth of your daughter didn't you have a wife, a mother, sisters, and a grandmother??? I mean the word Bit#: has always been degrading having a child and becoming a father shouldn't have made you realize that being a Real Man first should have made you realize that I means congrads but it shouldn't have took this to change
Just is an obvious example that you are never too old to learn. The world worships them so of course this is going to be blown outta proportion as though he did something profound. Kid Cudi is making an album without profanity or the n word. Where is that announcement!!!
I'm still gonna use the word bitch to describe females
"Red or green pill...you live and you learn."
He should have had the same respect for his grandmother, mother, sister, aunt, wife, etc... Well better late than never! Maybe other rappers and men/women that use the "B" word will stop! Can we add the "N" word too!
You should have felt that way a long time ago. It shouldn't take you to have a little princess to realize that. I have 3 little (2 teenagers) Princess' and they may have endure the degradation partly because of you. So now, hopefully you can help get rid of the "N" word for our little princes! Or, will we have to wait for you to have a son?
Oh wateva jay z....just like when u "retired" GTFOHWTS!!! Now allofasudden u wanna stop using the word biitch! Well I think thats a biitch move...thats like tryna get all these white muthafukkas to stop sayen "nigga" u just caint!! U dumb bastards feeding right of this bullshiit platter....
<3 you Brother, to bad he was not on that level when he punch the LADY in her face for taking a picture of him, maybe he can apologie to her, for being a jerk,,im so glad he live and learn the vaule of feeling. live and let live,,,(PEACE)
So Because this nigga got a daughter, Beyonce is not a bitch anymore and his mom is not a bitch any more and his grandmother not a bitch any more and no other chick? so that means if he had a son they would still be bitches to him.. FUCKED UP ASS NIGGA......LUCKY FOR MUSIC........
THATS STUPID ITS JUST RAP, JUST PR.
That was beauitful may God bless u and family. Congratulations to u both
Yes he has a mother and a wife but damn cut the man some slack he's trying to better himsef. if blue helps curve his tounge then that's excellent. It takes a real man to realize his mistakes and he's trying to change that because he has a daughter. Some people stop smoking when they have kids, while others stop drinking or stealing or partying etc.......... what is the big funk about him stop cursing. Its like damn if u do and damn if u don't. I guess he can't please everyone. His main goal is to please his wife and his daughter and so far I take my hats off to him
This is really nice of Jay-Z to write this, just maybe this letter will be an eye opener for all rappers that uses the B word and the N word in their music to captivate the younger generation attention. Jay -Z congrats to you and Beyonce on your precious little angel Blue Ivy!!!!
Dat nigga ain't learn shit he say dat shit now I bet weneva there ain't cameras around he gonna say BITCH if jay-z is as real as he say he is he would tell tha filing truth about Beyonce pregnancy we all know she ain't have that fukn baby someone else had it fo her Keep it funky
...what if this baby was a SON??? I ain't mad @ Jay's efforts...Hope J stays true to his word!! Nevertheless...CONGRATS!!!!
CONGRATS VERY WELL SAID
First I will like to say Congrats to Jay & Beyonce. I know the baby is beautiful. I am happy that his daughter has a positive impact on Jay life and that is great. But on the flip side he once said in an interview that is his mom and sister hated that word but he told them that it was just entertainment. I understand changing for your daughter, I have two of my own, but your mom brought you into this world, which means you should have respected her wishes when she asked you not to that. I do respect your decision but in life you do reap what u sow. Got to keep it 100%!
why he didnt do it when my daughter was born or yours...its cool he doing it but I dont know about giving him so many props about it!.....99 problems and HOV child aint one!
You know, i have mad respect 4 u now more than ever. In the beginning it was good. You've been my favorite since I started listening to u. "In my life time" I made alot of mistakes with women. I mean I loved too hard since my first piece. Now i'm caught up trying to deal with a chronic illness and trying harder than ever to figure out how to provide 4 my 4 beautiful children and make safe in this cruel world. I see u more than most just off of following your words. Stay up four your LITTLE PRECIOUS man she's going to bring you tears of joy, trust me i have twin 1 yr old girls. And forget that evil crap talk, we'll find redemtion in trusting in the "LORD".I learnd more from children than the world! Love ya kin! Jeffrey D Williams
lyrical genius
He just better follow up with some action. Jackson! Learn at your own pace is he slow. I've always thought he had autism! ~ blinded by the light you are says yoda! bling bling
I respect what you saying but honestly stop all the publicity ova the birth of one child she not Jesus for real remember you have a mother you should have followed tupac years ago but you didn't I use to have mad love for you that shit is quickly fading now you and bey is selfish for shuting a whole hospital floor down you should have had that baby at home if she's that special to have denied a father from seeing his own child was very ugly and you lucky it wasn't me cause I would have went off on your ass and I would have seen my babies but on another note I do believe you will be a great father
All rappers say whateva is needed too get where they need to be and after they achieve that success then its about role model type shit. What does that say too the next up coming artist, everybody's a bitch until u make it!!!! J-Z is close too to many females too make a statement like that. Respect all women!
Man shit!! Aint this a Bitch!!! Yeah I said it. Phuck Hova!!
So everyone elses daughters and sisters were bitches until he had his own???? Little late...
It's never too late to grow.
I've never commented on this blog before but after reading this, I felt compelled. I think it's great that Jay has decided the birth of his daughter has helped him grow as an artist & will no longer use the word. But he's over 40yrs old & it shouldn't take this to raise his consciousness for one & two, I remember his concert at the garden where he performed w/ Bey & said "I know the difference between a b**** & a Bey", but since then, he's used the b**** to refer to his girl in more than one song. Contradiction. Lastly, he's waxing awfully poetic about his daughter & IF it's true that she's not his first, it must be devastating to any other child he's fathered, which at the end of the day makes him a hypocrite & not a man. Again, IF this is not his first child.
Omg he had a baby like everyone else in this world has done or is doing..OMg he is giving up the word B**** who cares and this is why i do not listen to his music. People thinking because they are rich anything and everything they do is so special..REALITY CHECK nothing you do is great i can throw some words together and make a song about my kids to. Anyway enough talk about this dude and his "child"
I was so glad to read that Jay z and Beyonce had their baby girl...GOD BLESS them and her....Why people hating, I will never figure it out...but don't hate but congragulate, If you have nothing good to say, then say nothing at all...And for as buying his music, you thinks he gives a damn about that... besides your dollar won't make him or break him!!!
I love this!! and Yes, he had a mother, maybe a sister, and a wife... but things change when the being that you create comes into play! When you have a child, especially your first born, and especially when a father has a daughter, life begans to look very different and old habits might come to a stop just because of your newborn child! So for all of you who are saying "it took him to have a baby to stop using the B word" you need to put yourselves in his shoes, or not just his shoes but the shoes of any new mother or new father! And if he wants to put his love for his baby girl out in the media then he damn sure can! He's an excited father so he's going to be writing a lot and saying a lot about her! The camera's were going to go hunt for pictures of Blue anyway regardless of how many songs or letters he writes, thats damn near inevitable. Congratulations Jay and B! Welcome to the world baby blue!
U A FUK'N hater. Yo Hov keep doin u & Congrats to u & ya wife.....keep ROC'N
well its all sweet & nice but wow I'm a mommy of four so honestly I understand we want to change and do better things for our kids that is why we should practice r language better before we have kids. Did he forget he has a mom and a wife mother of his daughter she will grow up to hear that, but good job on not using that word now I guess its never to late... Congrat!!!
Good luck keeping your word and becoming a shining example for her sake. It's not going to be easy.
LOL is the best response to this or anything Jay-Z has to say other than rap. The man waited all this time to come to this conclusion? Where was this when he had his first daughter? Where was this when he was thinking of his mother early on? What about when he met and wed Beyonce? Ignorant indeed for his fans to applaud this lunacy and prop it to something it is not. This is nothing but an attention grabber from a man who is in his middle 40's. Oh really, my friend, you show enlightenment now? LOl, indeed!
I think all y'all need to shut the fuk up about it taking jay this long to realize y'all should be happy he did maybe the future generation to come will realize it a lot earlier ... some of the people commenting probally use the word 1000 times a day .... that's why this generation now can't.lead the world in the future cause you still caught up on bullshit critisizm.... get a life y'all.... by the way ... CONGRADS JAY AND B
Little girls will do that to you..trust I know
WE HAVEN'T STOP USING THE "n" WORD, BUT NOW U WANNA STOPPING THE USAGE "B" WORD. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT NOW?
PROMOTE BANNING THE "B" WORD AS WELL AS THE "N" WORD ETC, IJS!
Calm down people!!! He's doing his job as a parent and shielding his daughter! We as consumers of Jay-Z, the rapper, have to do our job and shield our own children if we feel his music is degrading to women. How did you make a change? Good for him
Maybe he could quit making shitty music as a gift to the world, and send a mil or two to all the REAL parents that he and Beyonce deprived of seeing their newborns.
Let Me Say this... JZ...you and Beyonce...are the epitomey of ppl that have money and will go that extra mil to rub HONORABLE FOLKS in the face...Why did you buy a floor in a HOSp. to have you child for God sakes...you DIDNOT HAVE A PREMADONNA... I think my child is special and so did the other couples and mothers that had their babies was DENIED access...You need to come forward and apologize personally to each mother/family.. This is a reason why..the rich think MOney is what get you far...you AND BEYONCE are PATHETIC...GUESS YOU TRY TO OUT DUE YOUR OTHER UPPITY HOLLYWOOD CREATURES SO YOU PAY OVER $1.3 MILLION AND THE hOSPITAL TOOK THE BAIT.. i FAULT BOTH OF YOU...You and BEYONCE IS NOT GOD OR MOTHER MARY.....YOU SHOULDNOT HAVE HAD SOLD ACCESS TO A PUBLIC PLACE...WHERE OTHERS HAD RIGHT TO BE , SEE, AND LOVE THERE BABIES TOO....HOW SELFISH AND JUST A BLANTANT DISREGARD TO OTHER. JZ, YOU AND BEYONCE REALLY TURNED MY STOMACH..AS I READ YOUR LETTER.. you wrote in a song...You disrespect every other WOMAN, DAUGHTER, SISTER, MOTHER , AUNT..AND YET U GOT A DAM NERVER TO SAY...YOU WONT HAVE IT..IF SOMEONE SAY IT to yours...(guess we are self righteous now huh) a taste of your own medicine is enevitable...so brace your ears...because you will REAP WHAT YOU HAVE SOWN over the years. also I feel your's and B music should be boycotted.... Hoe you read the blogs and see what you and that hospital did is SHAMEFUL AND VERY DISGUSTING
thats cool that he did that but because he had a lil girl he stop saying that word its not right for a man or a woman to be call a b.... but do you think if he would have a son he would feel that way nope so whatever to him doing this
dang i guess she said it all . . .can i follow up by saying (five letter word)
Well Jay all I gotta say is u been using the word b4 ya daughther got here y stop now the same way u were disrespecting us females trust & believe the same is gonna happen 2 ya daughter life is life money dont mean SHITTTTTTTTTT keep it 100
Although I'm glad that they have a child and that they are happy to be parents. I've always loved JayZ as an artist. Beyonce not so much. But I did love them together. But now I'm hearing a lot of disturbing things about their antics. I want to say this to Mr. and Mrs. Carter.....I think that you two are letting the HYPE go to your heads. If you wanted privacy to deliver your child...you should have hired a Midwife and had your baby at home. And I'm sure that there are establishments that offer those kinds of services that you could have bought THEM out and CLOSED them down and it would have not been a big friggin' deal. But to pay millions of $$'s to buy out the WHOLE MATURITY WING??? I mean REALLY? Who the FECK do you people think you are? You spent millions on that shyt. And now other mothers and families have you to blame if something happened to their loved ones or babies because they couldnt get the care they needed when they needed it because of your selfishness. And the next time you just want to THROW AWAY a million + bucks, I will personally send you my name and address, you can throw it the feck my way. Then it would be money well spent. Because, and altho, the birth of a baby is special and important. Even if I had that kind of money to waste I would not wasted it in that manner. And to NOW say that you wont use the word bytch anymore just because now you have a daughter makes you the biggest azz on the face of the planet. That statement you made suggests to me that you have no respect for any female on this Earth UNLESS it is your daughter. FECK your wife, your mother, your sisters(if any), your aunt and your grandmother....they can be called a bytch, but not your precious daughter? Am I reading you right? Well, Mr. Carter, GOOD FECKING LUCK WITH THAT!!
There is a lot of hate, pinned up aggression and negativity in this thread. Congrats to Jay and his family on the new born.
Ok........poor kid....its not this serious huh???
I was a daughter before yours was Mr. Jay Z...and I didn't appreciate it, but I'm sure that didn't matter when your direct deposit hit. Now that Blue is here you feel like the truth is here...don't believe that lie, women have always been fly, held much HIGHer than where YOU placed us mothers,daughters, and sisters. When we asked and even begged for you to stop, you answered with another album drop. Why don't you have good old Blue re-claim it, like nigga...aint that what you told Oprah??? Another wonderful term that I'll ask and beg for you to stop using, but I guess until you have one of your own you wont see that truth either-hmmm...yet again I will keep teaching my beautiful black children that it's never ok to use bitch, nigga, ho, heffa, etc as a term of enderement...because they are too damn beautiful, smart, CREATIVE, sincere, caring, and amazing for that! Congrats regardless and I hope this is your first of many lessons to come per the BEST parents are always never ending learning!
This is a beautiful thought, albeit a little late. He's spoken of his NOW wife with that word & she's even called herself the same. However, the concept & knowledge of how precious his daughter is to him makes a world of difference TO HIM, what he says. So, on that note, congrats Hov & B. Make the best life 4 ur little bundle of Blue! ;-)
I agree with most of the ppl commenting.
Y now? Y not before? He sure didn't consider other ppl daughter, wife, mother etc. thats just not right. And like everyone knows wat goes around comes around. Nuff said.
What an arrogant JACKASS.
A lot of these comments are contradictory. Some of y'all need to ask yourselves have you always lived a straight and narrow life. How many of y'all are actually using curse words as we speak yet are judging JayZ for wanting to change? How many of yall are calling an innocent newborn and people you don't know evil yet you call yourself a Christian? Its sad that people especially black continue to look down on those who want to do better and use their past against them. If a persons past was used as their judgement then everyone last one of y'all can expect to be burning in hell. Thankfully, my God doesn't work that way!
Yeah he might stop using bitch only to lean more on Ho and nigga but that's about it. I have no faith that this negro, sambo will change anything. Change some other shit while you at it like your self centeredness, or the way you judge a person's worth by the amount of material possessions you have, how about going back to the Black woman you assaulted and making things right with her. I have little faith that this man has changed.
for one she having a girl so why in the hell is she naming her first born blue ivy thats a boy name i guess
This ent his 1st child. I feel for his other kid will probably need a shrink for being treated like a black sheep and blue being the princess. SMH
What if every rapper that has a daughter from now on, takes out one profane word- how cool wud that be?
If it's going to take wearing the shoe before you know how much it hurts, well..........then this world is far from healing. Can't we just use our God-given gifts like 'respect' for everyone and everything? Having said this, it's never too late to correct YOUR MISTAKES, so Mr. Jay-Z.....THANK YOU!
"A FEMALE"
"Thank You" Mr. Carter for having a desire to want to change yourself from within so that your baby girl could experience first hand what a true gentleman is and how she's to be treated by a man... I "Thank God" for the little gift of life HE has givin you and your wife to enjoy, train and teach...
Very proud Wife, Mother,Grandmother,Sister, Auntie, Friend but most of all a Servant of the most HIGH...
I am so happy to see that someone of such great influence on others have decided to give the respect to their new born and had the idea to respect us all. I hope your peers and others in your business will do the same and respect the vessel that carried you and brought you into this world as your wife did for preciouse little blue. She is starting a new area women we will get the repect that we deserve back Bless you and your family
Good 1, I agree with u so much. This is publicity move, so sad
Well said^
I love this piece Jay Z the greatest of all time ROCNATION
lets wait and see untill she becomes teenager......lol
My oldest daughter is 6. You're late.
There are alot of NEGATIVE comments from Jay-Z's decision. Why? It did take him to have his own daughter, yes he has a mother, aunts, etc. He NEVER call them BITCHES. So what he doesnt want to say it now that his daughter is born. I use to call guys all kinds of words and had thoughts of guys now I have a son and I change my views. (FOR SOME)Point is no one can blame him. Now if he walked around just calling females bitches than alot of you would have reason to be upset. Every person has said the B word but Jay is a devil and a bad person because he does. Guess what? Jay-Z us going to do what he wants regardless to how me or any of you feel. And he made a great life for his daughter and his family and thats the MOST IMPORTANT thing. #FamilyFirst
hey boy Jay...u the man...oin allthat you show*m steps to get better n the world would as you know it.....greater things imposes greather ogligations and so greather discisions...u just made a better greater one...
No. that is incorrect. The word too is used when your agreeing with something our your not the first one as in"me too". Stop trying to be a dick.
Motha Knowz says...
Nice Jay and Beyonce! But why in the Hell did you spend all of that money for a hospital room? Why didn't you have the kid at home? Yo money right?, but there are greater needs. Yes, I want you to feel guilty! I don't care...but why you acting like Beyonce was really pregnant? Please share with us the mother who really carried your baby! And stop the media circus with this is baby! I sure hope you do you other child this fine as you are doing this one.
Peace and blessings to y'all.
While I agree that the previous person is an ass, they are correct. You use too to mean also as you stated but it can also mean a lot or very as in " you are too much" or "it's too soon".
this isnt his first child so y act all perfect now since you had a baby with B? he should have been seen the obvious tho
Crock of shit... put your damn son in the media.!!!!!!!!! Fucking PIECE OF CRAP.!!!
I agree Anonymous. Indirectly that is a slap in the face to the mothers, aunties, sisters and wives he knew prior to Blue Ivy's birth. Not for them, but for her. Wow! Sometimes you must listen to what people are not saying. At times it is just as loud as what is being said.
yeah jay is full of it. now he wants to change and grow. how dare he. Its like all these damn babies i keep seeing around the world. these 1-2 year old bastards who want to walk all of a sudden. you was just crawling mothafucka and now you want to walk. well im not buying it. make up your mind stupid ass babies. fuck jay and fuck these walking babies. im out
did i lay it on thick enough? do you think they got it? lol
you told them you was growing but they like "whatever", you know these haters dont want to see you get your life together
I had to change a few words lol
JUST KNOW J, BEYOUNCE, RHIANNA, NICKI MINAJ, LIL WAYNE, WAKA FLAKA, ANYBODY PROMOTING NEGATIVITY WILL GET IT BACK WEITHER IT BE BY WAY OF YOUR CHILDS BEHAVIOR TOWARDS YOU OR WHATEVER WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND...TRUST GOD IS NOT SLEEPING HE SEES AND KNOWS AND PAYS BACK...KNOW THAT. DISGUSTING FOOLS THINK YOUR SO WISE BUT THE WRATH THAT AWAITS YOU ALL IS MIGHTY AND HOT. ALL G.I.'S (GENERATION IDIOTS)
Full of crap....
Bitch please.
