Jay Z and Fat Joe don’t have the friendliest of backstories but what heavyweight rappers do during their ascension to greatness?
Today, May 24, marks a special day for New York Hip Hop (and the game in general) as S. Carter has joined forces with Fat Joe and Remy Ma on the remix to one of the (if not the) hottest rap joints of the year, “All the Way Up.”
Beyonce’s hubby doesn’t rap much these days so when he breaks his silence to hop on a beat, you can best believe he checks off all the current events on his lyrical Rolodex (he name drops the Lemonade success while paying homage to the late Guru, turns Prince’s final moments into a metaphor, etc.) just in case you thought he doesn’t have his ear to the street.
Remy Ma is her usual bar-dismembering self, employing a count-off rhyme scheme to make her presence felt, while Fat Joe holds both verses together.
The decision to record the remix was seemingly made at Beyonce’s recent Formation Tour pit stop in Los Angeles, where Joey and Jigga shared an Instagram moment complete with the song used as the caption hashtag.
And now we’re here.
Listen to the Jay Z “All the Way Up (Remix)” down below via DDotOmen.
Meh this is the defition of average..
Drake gave you 20 songs with 17 remixes of one song all one album, and dished it out to over a million people…quite impressive huh?
*CRICKETS*
We weren’t wondering… We were hoping they took the camera guy off the hook. Lame ass French Montana
this sucka should retire officialy
since when does a hov verse make a song worse. Wow. That’s a let down. Should have got Curtis on this one
worst Jay-z verse ever
Just because his verse went over your head don’t make it the worst ever…LAME!!
#facts that j verse was corny. Almost like forgot rhyme structure.
I thought the exact same thing, but perception blinds truth. #Iamadiehardjigga fan before anyone says am hating. His anticipated broken his silence is premature on this the next album better be what we are use to Hov!
That was dope, Hov talks that BIG talk and backs it up. And he’s thorough enough to address shit in the media. ???? ???? ????
Another L for Nas. Remember Fat Joe talking about Nas leaving him in the dust? So who does he turn to for a hot remix? King HOV.
You reaching lol
Somewhere, Drake is punching a wall..
you obviously aint heard Drake murdering that YG joint. This is average HOV.
Dude drake didn’t write that verse… Irrelevant
I’m talking about Drake being bitter for not getting a proper Jay verse for that Pop Style song, obviously..
Who needs a Jay -z verse anyways.. Lmao. Juelz Santana is catching enough buzz to relaunch his career because of a Drake name drop…
Shit garbage
Now y’all wanna pay attention to flow, wordplay, and “structure” when Hov delivers a verse? All the bullshit melodies and jingles and copy flows for the last 3 summers? Hov came through looking like Him,this shit felt like a cypher it felt like a radio freestyle this is Fresh Air.
50 would have killed this shit. Jay made it worse
Crack like ‘this time I’m not going finger roll Pat Ewing’, Hard!
Remy just ate. Nicki don’t won’t no problem with her at all.
Fux with Jigga. Good to hear a fresh verse from him.
The summer just hot out!
Jay Z destroyed a classic
He made it a classic, dumbass nigga
“Youngin pull your pants up” This is grown man shit children dont apply
Jay z sounds offbeat…. Didn’t need this kinda remix wtf was that no hating, just isn’t jay z style lyrics and flow
Jay-z always using somebody to stay relevant. They got the hottest song right now.
Jay verse is legendary, you simple minded idiots can’t grasp the intellect.
No dumb ass he is lazy. And so was that verse. Damn how do people stick up for their favorite rappers even tho this is clearly a terrible verse with horrible structure?
Horrible structure? Horrible structure? Let me guess you make music, or no you are a producer, hold up you know music, the art real hip hop? Nigga please! it’s a verse on a remix stop acting like you’re Rick Rubin or some shit tryna “grade” a perfect verse. Stupid shit like “horrible structure” is fuckin the game up have everybody sounding the same making jingles and shit. How many times you been punched in your face?
Fuckin Nerd
fat Joe ripped jay
wtf is Jay talkin bout… we been toleratin you for a decade, retire already overrated piece of shit.
Fall back, please
eat 12 dicks you young thug lovin’ homo
The fuck is up with Remy’s flow?
How u d best rapper that been doing It for over 20 years now TERROR SQUAT MUSIC ALL D WAY UP
Jay took the phrase “all the way up” and made a whole verse about shit that’s related to the word “up.” Airlines have planes that go up. Airplane hats and gold bottles. He wears that bucket with the planes on it, and drinks gold bottles while flying over other niggas. UP in meetings nobody else be at. Penthouse floor, call your way up. Means he LIVES “up,” while other dudes just visiting. C’mon y’all. He KILLED Fat Joe and Remy.
Word! Also he recycled the “lemonade” line for all those “hip hop” heads while being witty about the album.And speaking of the UP references he slid in the elevator line so that was triple entendre (Prince, Solange, All the Way Up) I mean really Hov came through as he should have
why would he do that, that song hella sucked lol..
Jay killed IT!
Verse was better then niggas albums
You my friend are high. That shit was absolute trash
And you my friend don’t have a good ear for dope verses
nobody went crazy on this. great comeback? sure…. OG status? (all 3) absolutely….. crazy bars? no. Remy is the leader here. jay and joe just played with it. that said…. all 3 are solidified….. but this song is a forced hit. this wouldnt be a hit if done by a nobody. #salute
Remy fine as fuck. Way too fine for that alien head lookin nigga Pap. She most definatly got herself a side nigga or two.
Please! Somebody get her a Fitbit and a gym membership. She got fat as hell.
Everyone thinking Jay-Z’s verse was whack, PLEASE go to rap genius and decode the lyrics. The lyrics are mindblowing! You just have to get the extremely clever references Jay throws casually into his verse. Jay plays with the theme of “Up” in his verse, exploring the different meanings of being up or high and uses the elevator as the device in his verse for “taking up” the listener through the verse.
Simply brilliant.
How were they not cool? I know about the basketball thing, but didn’t Pun and Jay have beef too?
Remy is so beautiful. She has very large breasts.
jay-z? really? he’s old and washed up now. they should’ve put drake on the remix instead. he would’ve killed this harder than jay. then the remix would be making noise all summer. jay-z verse will be forgotten by next week.
Lmao. Obviously u dont know music
Lmao. Obviously u dont know music
Honestly didn’t like this till hov hopped on it
J A Y – Z !!! We need another album!!!
Cool verse from everybody. Hov just addressed the bullshit everybody been talking about. Now y’all can move on from it.
Real Hip-Hop! HOV is back!!!
Surprise collabs like this are what make hip hop great. This doesn’t happen nearly enough anymore.
jay always dick riding people when they got a buzz
Fat Joe reached out to Noreaga to reach out to bleek to try to get jayz on it for nyc so stop the hate
