The NJ Nets’ minority owner (1.4%) is music mogul Jay-Z.  He is worth over $300 million, and has a $4.5M annual stake in the team.

Jay-Z responds on Track 3 (Ni**as in Paris) of his latest album Watch The Throne


So I ball so hard muhf***as wanna fine me / But first ni**as gotta find me / What’s 50 grand to a muhf***a like me / Can you please remind me? / This sh*t crazy / Ya’ll don’t know that don’t sh*t phase me / The Nets could go 0-82 and I look at you like this sh*t gravy / This sh*t weird / We ain’t even spose to be here / Since we here / It’s only right that we be fair / Psycho, I’m liable to be go Michael, / Take your pick / Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6

No Hay Amigo! Jose Reyes talks Autotune

26 07 2011

After the season, some guys go fishing… I go to the studio!

The above video is an EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW for LATINO SPORTS TV by Gemini Keez.  José talks about his new MUSIC VIDEO, “No Hay Amigos, and his career as a recording artist.

28- yr old New York Mets 4-time All Star shortstop Jose Reyes is one of the best players in baseball this year.  He leads major league baseball with a .353 batting average, and leads the NL in runs scored (73 ), hits (134),, and triples (16).   In fact, only 15 TEAMS in the league have more triples than Reyes!

Reyes is a free agent after the season and his next contract is the subject of much speculation.  WFAN Mike Francesca says that a person with extensive knowledge of the Reyes group told him that “If the Mets offered him 6 years, $120 million. I think he’d take it” .

In my opinion, that would actually be a fair contract, given not only his unmatched ability on the field, but also his energy and connection with the fans, and the fact he gave them a hometown break on his last contract – which averaged 6.75 mil/ year.
