After listening many times I got what he meant with the "okay" at first i thought he was saying "okay" as in saying OJ is stupid for saying he's just OJ. But after nth times I got it. Jay is simply saying that there is no point in arguing with some people and just worry about building you and those around you. How much time have people spent trying to change another persons mind. OJ is not about that at the end he says it that this advice ain't free, it's worth millions but you can buy for 9.99. Or maybe I'm reading into it too much.

“ I’m not black, I’m O.J” .... “Ok..” Powerful

YB that isn’t true at all, and yes some black people act hood and "Ghetto" yet we dont wanna be them because every time we do something life changing we do get some credit yet we are shut down again and again, we don't wanna blame everything on white people, but they do it to us and other race's like some white blame blacks, Hispanic, jews, asian for all the fucked up shit when its them. And black people dont wanna be below but there not offering jobs for African American that why people get in to drugs and crazy shit, even though they dont want to. We are just try to provide for our self with the little we have and we aren't ungrateful just dissatisfied that we are still treated poorly

are we bad people for collectively coming here straight away?

I brought this song up in class one time. Nobody else was familiar with the song but my prof insisted we watch the video since it was on topic. I warned him about the language but he just shrugged then said “we’re all adults here” and immediately pressed play lol. We watched the video and had a really great discussion about racial optics, classism, and late capitalism afterwords. One of my favorite moments really. I’m white btw -not virtue signaling, it just feels relevant

People missed the all point he is talking about even if you are a light skin ,dark skin,poor or rich black person you are still a black person you are still a «nigga» to them and OJ is representing some black people who try to run away from their “blackness” people who don’t want to be assimilated to black people. And he is giving money advice to the black community because most of the time they spend it on non essential things.For those who are offended by the way they draw the black people he did it on purpose for people to be shocked (and to remind us that was how they saw us before and that’s how they use to draw us).
