In the last three years, Wu-Tang Clan emcee Raekwon has been a recurrent collaborator with Kanye West and G.O.O.D. Music. The Staten Island, New York veteran lyricist appeared on My Beautiful Twisted Dark Fantasy, as well as Cruel Summer. However, Rae, who ran in similar circles to Jay-Z since the early ’90s, has never released a track with The Throne’s other half—Brooklyn, New York emcee-turned-mogul, Jay-Z.
That may be changing, according to some recently posted photos by Jay-Z. The Roc Nation founder and the IceH20 Records founder were photographed together, inside of what is believed to be Hov’s studio:
In recent weeks, Jay has posted photos of himself in the studio with the likes of Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Timbaland, Mike WiLL Made It and others.
In 1994, a pre-album Jay-Z made an appearance with Wu’s Ol’ Dirty Bastard and affiliate Shyheim on the Big Daddy Kane posse cut, “Show N’ Prove.” Additionally, Jay worked with RZA on “So Appalled” on Kanye’s aforementioned last solo album.

Jay-Z always wanted to be part of that golden era. That Nas, Wu, Biggie, era but he failed and no one was checking for him back then. While Raekwon was putting out incarcerated scarfaces, Jay was putting out ‘aint no nigga like the one i got, no one can fuck you better’ Jay-Z has been a sellout pop artist since day one. He needs to stick to doing songs with wack rappers like kendrick lame-er and leave Raekwon alone.
i agree that based on skills alone Rae is the man.
But…. and that’s big BUTT! Jay Z > Jay Z. There is on-one bigger or more consistent, FACT.
FOR ANYBODY TO SAY ANYTHING GREASY ABOUT JAY-Z AND HIS IMPACT ON “HIP HOP” DOESN’T KNOW “HIP-HOP”…STICK TO RAP MUSIC HOMIE CUZ 99.9% OF THE LEGENDS IN THE “HIP-HOP” GAME ALL GIVE JAY-Z HIS DUE RESPECT…IT AIN’T HIS FAULT HIS SHIT POPPED OFF AND HE CAKED OUT FROM IT…I GUESS PEOPLE WILL RESPECT JAY-Z MORE IF HE WAS BROKE…LOL
lol @ the two jigga warriors above. is jay-z fukin yall?
your trippin if you think K.lamar isnt real hiphop
how the fuck was Jayz not apart of that GOLDEN ERA…when he did numerous songs with Biggie…tupac was dissing him…..what year were you niggaz born??? Amongst all the other music..I was bumpin reasonable doubt like shit….it came out in 95 …..ya’ll crazy
sick, kinda funny two artists who are so similar in so many ways never really been connected like this.
jay was always an outcast after BIG died. not many people in new york were fucking with him
memphis bleek got more skills then this old nigga rae
Nah
But, Bleek >> Ross
this is a joke right…. rae has dropped classic verses for years. what has bleek done remotely classic?
JA RULE > ALL OF THEZE NUGGZ
I thought Rae dissed him years ago. Oh well, pretty sure nothing will come of this lol
THE CHEFFFF. love that
like that shirt chef is wearing….two lyrical geniuses
This collabo would have been hotter 18 years ago.
still hot to a lot of people
I WANT JAY’S SHIRT THOUGH…NO HOMO
That is homo
Why are dudes going on about wearing shirts then saying “no homo”… Cuz it is homo…sorry… I’m here for the music, not a guy’s wardrobe choice.
If ya’ll can remember… Jay-Z propped him up on Bp3.. just natural, someone shows praise…they link up..2 much petty non sense is what keeps NY from being the king of Hip Hop once again.
And f**k your little >>>> nerd BS.. it doesn’t matter who is better, I just want good music to listen 2.
follow at noles506
2 old farts thinking they are pimps and hustlers. Get a life! This collabo would have been dope in 95/96.
And what are you?
SHOW ME WAYNE AND BIRDMAN IN THE STUDIO. THEN, YOU WILL HAVE MY ATTENTION.
FAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
what a todd
Remember when Rae called Kingdom Come trash. Good times.

Can’t wait to hear it. This collab is looong overdue.
I don’t give a fuck about Hova. I respect Hova. As a business man, and a nigga that know how to rhyme. But me personally, I give a fuck a bout Hova, none of them niggas. Them niggas ain’t helpin Rae eat.”
LOL! On another note, Rae, it looks like you don’t need any help eating…
I miss that kind of brutal honesty. Nowadays everyone just kissing ass.
NEED THIS!!! maybe raekwon can make jayz step it up since his last few features been wack as shit.
this could be something good
wack? what do you consider dope then dumb ass
Thought Rae hated on Jay.
where did you hear this? read it on some internet forum i bet, you idiot
Never saw this coming – out of left field. Not that I am complaining.
don’t think jay has ever collaborated with any Wu niggas (off the top of my head). this will be dope as hell.
can’t imagine what they will rap about though. rae still stuck on that coke rap, and jay is on that famous millionaire shit…. strange combination. maybe jay will go back to his roots.
I have a potential voice to show to a producer how should i contact Mr.jay’Z please letme know to my email you whould not regreat this new original born star thanks.
wtf /\
Jay-Z and Raekwon are two of NYC’s best rappers. So many good rappers come from New York.
Can’t wait for a Mr. Hov Album, its like living again… i know haters don’t like but they will fuck with it cos the flow so tight.
I wish AZ was with em.. Like Dead Presidents 2 video
