Pain in the Ass has a unique theory on how the social political issues that impacted Jay-Z and his family paid a part in powering his drive to succeed.

But there's a thing to be said about someone growing up in a broken home or you grow up where your father's not there or he left or your mother died.

You have that street mentality in you.

You're always going to fend for yourself.

You're always going to take risks and gambles that maybe people that had a normal setting wouldn't take because you really feel like you have nothing to lose your whole life.

You grew up that way.

And like I said, if you study Jay-Z, you'll see that not having his father all that time really affected him to the point where even it taught him how to rhyme.

Listen to this final gem of a story from Pain in the Arse.

He also reinforces the importance of Kareem Biggs Burke.

We also got blessed that we were not just a family, but we had a lot of talented people within that family.

You got Irv Gotti.

You have DJ Clark Kent.

Clark Kent is a legend.

I think that speaks to Rockefeller that Jay-Z is not Rockefeller.

Jay-Z is all of us.

Pain in the ass recalls a personal moment with Jay-Z that helped him make sense of his own anger issues as a result of grief and bereavement.
