Soccer Goals: After recent news that hip-hop mogul, Sean "P-Diddy" Combs expressed interest in buying Crystal Palace, sprucing up his portfolio with even more ridiculous bling. An even better rapper with superior flow, Jay-Z continues his paper chase with recent news of his desire to invest with London football club, Arsenal.

Besides transcending to the Top 5 category of "best rapper alive" (whatever that means), the lyric-spitting legend has amassed an impressive bankroll estimated at 500 million dollars. Not only is he married to the voluptous Beyonce, owns a percentage of the NBA's New Jersey Nets, but has embraced the Gunners after watching Thierry Henry's flank devestation.
"I just thought he was an amazing player. Ever since then I have been a big fan of the club and still today you play the beautiful football that Thierry did. I think he had a real long term-effect on the team" stated Jay-Z.
I don't know if there are any Jay-Z fans in the current team but if there are they would be more than welcome to come to my next concert when I am over in London. They can come and see me do my work, and then I will come and see them do their work."
So now that the Arsenal teammates have received a concert invitation from their potential boss, does that mean that the "Pretty boys" at Emirate Stadium will produce their own rendition of the Super Bowl Shuffle? Perhaps, there title will be called The Gunner Gangsters. Could you imagine Andre Arshavin, dressed in Roca wear, throwing down lyrics, while Cesc Fabregas and his melodic chorus offers the catchy hook to move up the I-tune charts.
This is what could be: soccer-centric rap video of an Arsenal star, imagine cleats rather than high tops and 5'9, not 6'9.
During the pre-game lineup, could Jay-Z's Arsenal enter the field iced out, with blinged-out boots, sagging shorts, flat-billed baseball caps, and chain-hang low accessories before the opening kickoff. Will Roca wear become the official uniform sponsor of Arsene Wegner's side? Where would Rosicky, Vela, Sagne, or Bendtner be situated amongst the VIP table in the newest Jay-Z video? Imagine Carlos Vela fist pumping next to Swiss Beatz or Denmark's Nicolas Bendtner grinding on Nicki Minaj -- that thought would be simply priceless.
All these questions will spark more interest from the USA and the urban demographic, who prefer NFL and NBA over the Barclays Premiere League. Marketing guru's and Arsenal investors hope that his presence and sheer publicity could tap another demographic market.
In the interest of growing the game stateside, his potential investor status could attract a new crew, one that could engage a demographic that has been ignored for too long. The hip-hop culture.
What other possibilites could Jay-Z bring to the football game? Would this create more interest from inner-city youth? Will Jay-Z introduce the bling-bling concept to the Premiere League?
