Because he is worth HALF BILLION dollars...how much are you worth again?
Okay. By your logic:Robert Earl Hughes was an expert on gravity because he weighted 1069 lbs when he died?And Snooki is a genius capitalist because Rutgers was stupid enough to pay her $32,000 to speak at commencement?Economics is one of the most complicated applied areas in which to study. I seriously doubt that Jay Z could tell you how 2nd derivative curves in spending can predict interest rates in 6 months. I'll listen to Jay Z's trending predictions on the size of Ho's butts, but leave the study of economics to scholars please.

Maybe not. While you were calculating second derivatives, he was actually running businesses. As in, like, participating in the economy instead of studying it.
Kuzz CNN wholeheartedly believe that Black People will save D economy, first Obama and now Jay Z

No one said he was an expert. Jay Z might have some relevant and interesting things to say since he is worth that much money and has run, started, and successfully grown several types of businesses. (and hired people). Surely, you understand that?
Wait, do we even know if this supposed economic summit/interview even took place? I smell a 10/10 here.
Because all the man does is produce paper.

Little known fact, Jay Z has a PhD in economics from the University of Chicago. He's also advised former Fed chair Greenspan and current chair Bernanke.
Back in 2000, he wrote and excellent OpEd in the New York Times arguing that the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999 would have very negative consequences in the not too distant future. In less than a decade, he would be proven right on all counts. When Jay Z talks about the economy, you listen.
The better question would be: Why wouldn't CNN interview Jay Z about the economy?
Little known fact, the only PhD Jay Z has is a Pimpin Hoes Degree.
OOOHHH snap! For real for real!

I've forgotten more about the economy than "Jay Z" will ever know.

Uh huh. And you base that off what? And, assuming you like money, why aren't you as wealthy as him?

Being a successful entertainer does not make you an expert in business or economics. He has business people take care of his business and he focuses on talent and recording.
You mean he has handlers who are the actual brainpower behind his business ventures? Then why come they ain't interview them instead? Well?

My first line stated that no one said he was an expert.
He owns like 2% of the New Jersey Nets. Dude's legit.
It's a 24 hour news network. You try filling all that time.

So only people who can do this should be interviewed...hmmm...interesting...
So the millions of small business owners who have no clue what the f you said, have no clue about the economy, how to run a business or have opinions that should not be valued

I'm not sure what's so funny about that...you know Jay Z, amongst others in his industry, likes to make it rain on them hos.
Well played.
