PSA: Can't Co-Sign on the New Look Jay




Brief time out for this quick public service announcement...

Jay-Z has been setting trends since he first hit the scene. What Jay did, many people followed. In recent years Jay told heads that 30 was the new 20 ... we co-signed (at least those in their thirties did). He told cats to put the jerseys away and get some button ups... Heads thought that was cool too.

But the glasses Jay? Nah, can't come with you on that one Jay. Just not feeling the spectacles. They look like the glasses that heads got during basic training in the military, often referred to as "birth control" cause girls aren't messing with you with them on. But Jay is rocking them, so you already know heads think they cool glasses to have now. I know a lot of heads are jumping on this boat with the big black glasses look but I just can't rock with it.

Maybe that glasses look isn't worse than Jay's new haircut. Or should I say, lack of haircut. No shape up? Really? Bringing back that mini fro look? Jay, you about to make barber shops go broke if heads follow you on this new look. When actors grow out their hair or do something wild with their appearance, heads ask "is this for a new upcoming role." So I ask the same question, "Jay is this look for a new album"? Is Jay-Z pulling a Joaquin Phoenix deal with his appearance? Is this what retirement does?

Jay-Z is my man and I'm a huge fan of his music, but I just can't rock with him on this one. Can't do it.
