Would You Buy This?



A portrait of Jay-Z is now available for his followers fans as well as avid art collectors at a minimum of $1 million. The portrait is a diamond and rhinestone encrusted image of the 40 something rapper. The value of every jewel selectively placed to form the image is roughly at a minimum, supposedly, of 24K.

Hell, I don't even have an image of him on a CD anywhere in my home let alone in my car so I gather that my frugality has caused me to not see the added value of having Jay's image in my home by any means -- even if I could afford it.

I nearly spend the asking price of this portrait in overhaul on both my home, business, personal bills and miscellaneous purchases, i.e EATING and yes, tax write offs due to my naturally giving nature on worthy causes -- per fucking year; things that give me added value simply because I have sensible things to show for my hard work as well as the empowerment and improvement of the well being of people at large.

Now I ask, of all things you can buy, would a portrait of this 'rapping god' be one of them? If so WHY? How does paying a minimum of  $1 million for his portrait add value to your life's quality * this/these question(s) could be a sales person's dream SMH*?

If there is a portrait of Jay out at that price,it better be able to speak, greet, physically move and hang itself on any wall in my home or anywhere else I would want it to be. Otherwise, I cannot see it.

I WOULD NOT BUY THIS PORTRAIT OR ANY PORTRAIT OF

ANYONE WHO HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING SIGNIFICANT

THAN SHOVING A WOMAN DOWN BY HER FACE OR OUTRIGHT

DISSING HIS PEOPLE FOR THE SAKE OF LOOKING ABOVE

AVERAGE TO OTHER RACES. SINCE JAY - Z IS A WILD

SAFARI ANIMAL I CAN SEE HIM ANYTIME AT THE ZOO

AT OVER LESS THAN A 1/10 OF A FRACTION OF THE

PRICE OF THE UGLY PORTRAIT. JUST SAYING.

At a minimum of 1 milli?! WTH?! Listen, if I can't live in or drive it, I am not going to buy it. Some people will either throw or invest their money on frivolous things simply because they can or influenced to do so but with a face like Jay - Z, I see the asking price going down on this tremendously.

To the blog owner:
You must be doing alright for yourself but I see your point in this. I don't see the need in buying something that will serve no real purpose personally. I agree with everyone so far on this post and you know that there has got to be some fake diamonds passing as legit in there somewhere.

No one in their right mind would pay that much for a picture of Jay-Z aka Young Hova except for Young Hova himself. This is laughable. Really.

@Anonymous 2:34 I am with you. There has to be some fake diamonds in the portrait. If not in that one any replica that will be produced and sold at that price.
