Jay Z is demanding

Jay-Z leaving Fred Segal in West Hollywood (5/4)

The Smoking Gun managed to get a hold of Jay-Z's concert rider from his performance last month at the University of Arizona (see here, here, here, and here). "University" as in "school." As in "I'm sorry sir but I don't think we have a spare Maybach parked somewhere that we can pick you up in." From the site:

When Jay-Z headlined last month at the University of Arizona, the rapper banked a whopping $750,000 for his set. But the chart-topping performer did not get every perk requested in his concert rider, since the school does not provide artists with alcohol, tobacco, or $400,000 luxury vehicles. As seen on the following pages from his 2009 concert rider, Jay-Z (real name: Shawn Carter) demands that promoters provide him with ground transportation while he is in town performing. Specifically, the rap star requires a late-model black Maybach (either the 57 or 62 model) with tinted windows.

Carter's dressing room (72 degrees, please) must be stocked with Sapporo beer, vodka, tequila, and two bottles of $300 Champagne. Oh, and the 39-year-old performer also needs two bottles (at $200 apiece) of 2004 Sassicaia, which his rider helpfully describes as a "Red, Italian Wine from Bolgheri Region." Additionally, Carter requires "Good Quality" peanut butter and jelly, one martini shaker, 12 shot glasses, and a pack of Marlboro Lights.

Rappers aren't supposed to stipulate that their dressing rooms come stocked with peanut butter and jelly. They're supposed to demand they come stocked with dumb groupies. Either Beyonce has finally begun to tame Jay-Z, or reverting to the tastes of a first grader is now considered cool. Hopefully it's the latter, which means I'll finally be able to feel comfortable about my ~~pacifier~~ Dora the Explorer DVDs bed-wetting.

I think that riders are ridiculous period. But, lets be real that 750,000 was at the very least half of what the university made off of him coming to perform aside from the publicity. So what if he wants p&j he could have been like the divas and requested caviar, maine lobster, and king shrimp. Let's go back to our regular boring lives and stop commenting on dumb ish. I hope that we all have more important things going on in lives than what Jay-z has on his rider. If you really want to protest can someone please help me with the letter I am writing to his wife Beyonce and her ridiculous Las Vegas show prices. They start at 250-1000 and you have to pay for an additional 2 night hotel stay at the wynn. I'm a college student and I live in Vegas why do I or anyone else need to pay that much to see her sing.

eww

Jay-Z's only 39?? He looks more like 40-something... and his hair looks like SHIT. Don't celebrities have friends (or anyone) around that tells them when they look like crap?

Someone with sense

There is nothing wrong with adults liking peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I mean come on now. Grow the fuck up. Jay Z is a fucking gazillionarire and he is used to a certain standard of living. The University knew that when they paid him $750,000 to perform. They released his rider just to get a rise out of folks, when the jokes on them. I'm pretty sure they provided everything he asked for [minus the maybach] and he performed, got HIS money and got ghost.

DMZ

Why do people or organizations put up with this SHIT? If the performer, in this case the useless Jay-Z, whats all this shit then bring it with you or raise your concert cost. I would tell him to simply (FOAD) Fuck Off And Die! What a dipshit you a Z as in ZERO!!
