What makes Jay Z qualified to be a sports agent?

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are not qualified to be sports agents so just being rich and successful does not qualify. Jay Z got rich by rapping about drugs, thugs and using the n word. It's absurd any athlete would use Jay Z to manage their image.
Jay Z is desperately trying to be an agent in the NFL but the NFL has not allowed Jay Z to be an agent... yet. I hope they don't because Jay Z is a disgrace to society.

Love him or hate him the dude has street smarts, hs and college kids love him, and he has made a ton of money not just off rap. I think he is going to be very successful as an agent. Very smart guy who has that street smarts

What makes him not? He has been in the entertainment...

Business for decades and part owner of nets. If guys can have parents or friends represent them then he can. Signing Durant and the Yankees guy doesn't hurt.

Jay Z's experience in entertainment is rapping about drugs, thugs, and n words. So is he going to put Durant in a new rap video? Cano is going to walk to the plate playing one of Jay Z's "brilliant" songs?

You're fooling yourself

If you don't recognize the businessman he has become.
You don't have to like his music to see he knows how to navigate the entertainment industry (and sports really are just that at this point).

Arguing that JayZ would sully the image and reputation of Sports Agents is odd to me.

The same formula that made a Community Organizer President of The United States. Only in America.

I'd guess him meeting whatever standards are put into place by the leagues/sports in which he represents athletes.

1. Networking
2. He's a brand name
3. He's a business man with obvious negotiation skills
4. He understands entertainment and sports is entertainment
5. See #1

Is he black?

Not a trick question cause if he's black you can't even ask what his qualification are. I tried that with Obama and found out I'm a racist. I didn't even know that, till then.
