Today, Shawn “Jay Z<\/strong>” Carter turns 50.<\/p>\n

In a half-century, the man who writes checks with the hand that doesn’t write has rewritten the history of what it means to be an artist, a mogul, and a man.<\/p>\n

Dropping classics summer after summer, having the hottest chick in the game rocking his chain and bringing the Nets to Brooklyn, Hov has seen it all and done it all. Just the same, he’s become a diversified businessman in the form of his RocNation enterprise, TIDAL ventures, and too many other products to count. He’s become an advocate for mental health, therapy, LGBTQ rights, black ownership and continues to grow as a person and grow his hip hop community.<\/p>\n

While Jay is currently partnered up with PUMA in regards to footwear, his early deal with Reebok and the inspiration he’s provided Nike has made for many Kicks On Court moments over the course of the last two decades.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the Jiggaman’s bday, we do so KOC style. Happy birthday, Hov.<\/p>\n

+ LeBron James and Jay Z have had a longstanding relationship since the King came into the league. Just the same, Kanye West was famously at “The Decision.” Collectively, Hov and Ye are The Throne<\/p>\n

+ Stunting on a jumbotron at the All-Star Game, King James debuted the Nike LeBron 16 “Watch the Throne” after teasing the public with a PE pair of LeBron 9s inspired by the same album. Maybe LeBron’s love for Jigga will result in an updated take on the LeBron 7 “All Black Everything” releasing, too<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
