Because what’s not to love about Hov? Hov is arguably the best rapper alive, an entrepreneur, husband, father, and above all, a hustler. A hustler in the sense that there’s no glass ceiling for him. He’s always striving to reach the top, and align himself with the Warren Buffets of the world – literally!
And who wouldn’t want to be like Mr. Carter, even if it meant mimicking his voice (chyeah) and mannerisms to make that dream more of a reality.

He said:
“It’s crazy you know, Chapter V is coming out August 21st. It’s gonna be a crazy experience.You know I got Trey Songz. This the face of the Roc-A-Wear fragrance. It’s crazy. He got the big billboard in Time Square. Brooklyn!”
