Actually Jay is/was a very successful producer with his own record label, maybe at the time not such a big star commercially but as far as the industry side of the music business goes he was/is very much a influencial big player. And Beyonce' strikes me as a very driven career girl, and a guy like Jay-Z could give her credibility something that most girl groups dont have.
Ps he's not bald! :mrgreen:
SAF back in 2002 when they began dating there were many other rappers out there just as big as Jay-Z, many more than there are now..
His record label had not taken off at that point and quite honestly, she didn't need him for credibility or exposure. At the time she was already making a killing with Destiny's Child. If she was only interested in him for career reasons she would have used him for a few years and then run off with a better looking rapper like Kanye or T.I. or who knows even an NBA player...
But the fact is Jay-Zs swagger and charisma is second to none! Kanye West can only dream of having people skills like Jay-Z! This is the only reason he managed to get with Beyonce in the first place!
Also it's just as well he doesn't have any hairloss issues mate because without the hair he would look like Frankenstein.
