Well, they knighted Harvey Weinstein (the equivalent of knighted, anyway, since he's not a British subject), I guess this would just be one more step down the road to Hell for the monarchy! ;)
SIR JAY-Z?
Rap superstar Jay-Z demanded a Knighthood from the Queen in return for performing at Prince Charles' upcoming charity gig in London.
The hip-hopper stunned organizers, putting the bizarre request at the top of his list of demands for the Prince's Trust Urban Music Festival next month.
His bid has been rejected, but the star and fiancee Beyonce Knowles have been invited to dine with Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace, to make up for the disappointment
An event source reveals, "We thought it was a joke, but he was serious. Normally we just get requests for things like sushi and lilies in dressing rooms."
Jay-Z will perform alongside Beyonce and Alicia Keys at the bash at London's Earls Court on May 8 and 9.

I think Jay-Z should realize that almost no one in England gives a flying crap about his shitty-ass music.

Lancelot can officially roll over in his grave...
god damn you, Jay-Z!!! go back to the stupid hip-pop (yes, i typed hip POP) hell from which you came!!!
the honor of being knighted belongs to those such as the aforementioned ben kingsley and ridley scott...ian mckellen and elton john are also entertainers worthy of knighthood...
if you want you can be knighted Sir Beyonce's Ass.

Someone should've informed Jay-Z that one cannot have both a British title and American citizenship. Its the law.
Just ask Ronald Reagan.

Christ, do you people believe everything you read.
These days Jay-Z is a semi-retired rapper second and a buisnessman first. He's not some ignorant gangbanger, even if he dresses like one. He runs a multi-million dollar buisness empire, and by all reports is actually of one the more intelligent and bravado-free rappers in his real life persona (his persona on the mic is not how he really is.He's actually a pretty quiet guy).
That said, he's not stupid enough to demand a Knighthood. Maybe 50 Cent is dumb enough to do someingthing like that, but not Jigga. This sounds like complete tabloid fantasy.

Well, this is a gossip forum. We'd never have any fun if everyone reacted to every story with "There's no way that's true." Maybe it's true, maybe it isn't. Still fun to talk about.

How the fuck this asshole thinks he deserves anything but a size 12 up his talentless ass is beyond me. He needs to be dropped from his label for sucking more than any other rapper on earth (save for P. Diddy and Missy Elliott). And right after that, someone needs to take Beyonce' to an optometrist and get her some lasik so she can see what a troll she's marrying. If that doesn't do the trick, then get her ears cleaned out so she can truly experience what her fiance has unleashed on all of humanity. It doesn't surprise me that she is latching onto the man for being a rich star, but he has no business demnanding knighthood. He isn't fit to lick Beyonce's ass clean, let alone marry her. He isn't talented enough to have a recording contract. And this classless monkey deserves nothing in the way of public recognition.

You know I feel the same way about:
Justin Timberlake
Britney Spears
J-Lo
Limp Bizkit
Ashton Kutcher
90% of all rock groups
and 99% of all pop groups/stars
but then i realized that these people could give two green shits about what i think.

I hate the man enough to spit some venom. I think anyone demanding recognition they haven't earned needs a good swift kick in the ass for being a selfish fuckhead. As Dock pointed out, the man doesn't give three shits about my opinion (or anyone elses, for that matter), but I'll bet Brits don't give two shits for this loutish bum, either.
Okay...I think I'm done ranting here. :rolleyes:

Indeed.
The world's turned into a sorry, sorry place when people with no merits whatsoever start demanding knighthoods from foreign Queens.

rather luckily he can demand all he likes and our wonderous monarch (long may she live, bow bow bow) can tell him to piss off.
The idea that this doink feels he is in someway deserving of a knighthood cheapens the process to me.
We've had some duff knights alright, but we have standards.
Jay-P or whatever his name is, just doesn't cut the custard.
(I know full well its mustard, but I'm a fan of custard. so sue me. oh wait, you can't ;))
That will be all

yeah...I bet Britain (and the rest of the world) thinks we're the best country ever between Britney Spears, George W. Bush, and this butt pirate.
God, I think I need to go puke a little.

thats ok dear, i guess we can tolerate a bit of shit from your country. I mean, we do owe you one as a result of that whole spice girls thing, for which as a representative of my country, I'd just like to apologise for.
That will be all
