The life and times of Shawn Carter in forty-four years? Mr. Carter, as Jay-Z, has shared seventeen years of his life with the public and shared his rise as a hustler with Damon Dash and Biggs. He showed his musical comeuppance with Memphis Bleek, Ja Rule, and DMX, and faced off against the latter two, Nas, Jadakiss, 50 Cent, and Game too.
Along the way, Jay-Z helped turn the likes of Kanye West, Rihanna, Young Jeezy, Ne-Yo, and Rick Ross into stars in that particular order. He ran Def Jam solidly for two years and has since been running Roc Nation, the home of J. Cole. Ten years ago, Jay-Z looked like he had done it all, but he was then just getting started.
Now, the final frontier for Jay-Z is changing his diet and yesterday came the news that he and Beyonce were going vegan for a month. Yes, Jay-Z and Beyonce are going vegan and they started yesterday on his birthday in Las Vegas. According to TMZ, the Carters celebrated their “aliveness” by eating meatless with Anne Hathaway.
