@S_C (Jay-Z)Do You Wanna Ride? comes to life...Remember the collect call Emory?

I know a lot of you thought that was mere 'fiction'. Another made up story by Jay-Z.  Au contre monfre my friend. That was real...It seems Jay-Z fulfilled his promise too. Offering him a $50k job and putting it in writing to the court.

Good to see it come to fruition not for us but for Emory Jones, who had his sentence reduced by 37 months as a part of a motion requested by Jones based on Supreme Court findings addressing the inequity in sentences levied in cases involving crack cocaine as opposed to the powdered form of the drug. More reasons to read DeCoded as Jay-Z gets into all of the who's (Jones included) and where's (Maryland Eastern Shore to name a few) of where this all took place. Jones Federal custody ended on Sept. 20 and his probation ends in 2015. I am a little taken aback it took this story this long to REALLY get press (not from me but in general). I mean the Maybach part of the story got some run but not his part with the letter. Interesting. I think THAT is more important than him having the fresh whip waiting for him. Then again, despite all of the complaints by folks who SWEAR he is super flashy, materialistic, and an all out braggart, doesn't usually discuss nearly as much as he probably could.

Yeah..yeah..yeah...I know...he did it for 'XYZ'..How's that crystal ball you are using to know this working out for you in you and your every day troubles? Oh....

Young Jeezy giving back..School supplies.

Things like this is the reason why I like him. I know some of you love your 'conscious' rappers to the death and you tout them, but I am sorry. I just don't SEE THEM DOING THINGS LIKE THIS ON THE REG. I have SEEN him do it though. Thanksgiving. Christmas and now school.

Listen to WHAT HE IS SAYING NOW. Since you tear apart the words (the ones you chose to hear in his rhymes anyway.....) so much.



Yeah..yeah..yeah...it is 'for the camera'. I guess next you will tell me he ran the kids down and took the stuff back too huh? lol Ya'll kill me.

For everybody who STILL doesn't get why T.I. was given the chance he was..Stuff like this.

Now let me preface it by saying that he is not the ONLY ONE who gives back to his community. By no means. He is not the only ONE WITH A CRIMINAL RECORD, giving back to his community. Not in his hood, county, state or country. What I am SAYING is that he can give like this twenty times over, NOT HAVE IT FILMED (as he has done), STILL KEEP GIVING and bring back more positive things back to not only HIS COMMUNITY BUT WORLDWIDE. Over and over and over again. I guess if he was only doing this 'after' the sentencing/conviction, there would be some validity to the 'backlash'. He has been doing it the WHOLE TIME. From Nu Finish on back....Giving mortgage free homes AWAY to needing family. Not just turkeys on Thanksgiving Day. Whole houses. Not just Toys for Tots on Christmas Day. So I don't buy the whole 'he is only doing it because of that sentencing' logic.

What I am hoping is that some of you that I know will get even HALFWAY to where he is at staturewise so that some of the things in the past can be overshadowed by what you have done. I truly do. Some of you I am even helping so that it can HAPPEN. Then if (Hopefully it doesn't...) something DOES HAPPEN, you will be able to say what you have done. What you have given back. What you DO BRING TO THE TABLE IN A POSITIVE WAY. Not on some excuse shit either. More like on some 'I may not have always been 'right' but I always cared about XYZ so this is what I have done to support that...' Never know when that kind of good thinking may come back to help YOU.
