Jake Paul wants to be his generation's Jay-Z or Dr. Dre

Asked why he invests, Jake Paul says it's partly about having his finger on the pulse and partly legacy — he wants to be the bridge between the business world and the influencer world, like Jay-Z or Dr. Dre were for music, building billion-dollar companies rather than just being a rapper.

“I think part of it's just legacy for me. Wanting to be this generation's Jay-Z or Dr. Dre, where, you know, they're a part of these massive billion-dollar companies and do more for the celebrities around them than just be a rapper or just be a producer. You know, I want to be that bridge between the business world and the influencer world and be sort of the one that— the influencer or celebrity who's known for that in this generation.”

Story

A Jay-Z lyric became Marcus Bullock's entrepreneurial mentor in prison

Asked who mentored him in prison as a teenager, Marcus Bullock pointed to Jay-Z's first album and a line from 'You Don't Know' - 'You can make $40 off a brick, but one rhyme can beat that' - which sold him on non-traditional, legal paths to entrepreneurship.

“He literally said he got hold of Jay-Z's album, his first album, and Jay-Z was rapping about these non-traditional paths to entrepreneurship. And the line that he said was from the song You Don't Know, he goes, You can make $40 off a brick, but one rhyme can beat that. So he's like, why be in the street hustling if there's these other paths that you can possibly use, right?”
