ScHoolboy Q Explains Why He Was Once “Pissed Off” At Jay Z

    In 2012, ScHoolboy Q released “Nightmare on Figg St.” where he addressed a Jay Z line from Watch the Throne’s “Ni**as In Paris.”

    “What’s 50 grand to a mothafucka like me?” Jay Z says on the song. “Can you please remind me?” 

    On “Nightmare on Figg St.,” ScHoolboy Q addresses the line by repeating it and expanding on it from a different perspective.

    “What’s 50 grand to a mothafucka like me?” Q says on “Nightmare on Figg. St.” “Can you please remind me? / Can’t be serious. Right? / Shit, I’ll remind ya / Put steel behind ya / Put five inside ya / Better chill out wit’ all that flossin’ potna / Ball so hard / You must be cray / Leave ’em in the streets / With his shoelaces missin’ and socks up off his feet.” 

    “I was a little pissed off at Jay and ‘Ye for saying, ‘What’s 50 grand to a mothafucka like me? Could you please remind [me?] I’ will remind you. This is what would happen [for] $50,000 to a mothafucka…It wasn’t a real diss. It was just something for the broke homies. If you give somebody $50,000, she would probably fuck around and cry of enjoyment. I just felt like it was still broke niggas out there who would really rob niggas for $50,000. This is what we for $50,000.

    “I never met Jay,” Q continued. “I got it all the time when I dropped it. Everybody were like, ‘Ah, Q took shots at Jay and ‘Ye.’ All the time. But this was a big song for me though. When I perform this, people go crazy.” 

    “Nightmare on Figg St.” was released in 2012 as part of ScHoolboy Q’s Habits & Contradictions. Q is currently working on his upcoming album, Oxymoron.

    1. This is the first time I have ever had any level of respect for Schoolgirl Q.

      Jay-Z used to be Biggie’s personal assistant. He would run errands for Big, organize his schedule and find the right guys to do security for the greatest rapper alive. When Jay-Z overheard Biggie on the phone saying that he was going to sign to Cash Money, he ran and told Diddy. So, Jay-Z is a snith. Diddy then went and had Biggie killed to make sure that he would always keep the recording rights. If that wasn’t bad enough, Jay-Z then stole Biggie’s rhyme book, which is why he was able to put together some good verses. When he used up all of Big’s lines, around the time Black Album came out, he retired. If Jay-z was really Biggie’s friend, he would have saved the book and given it to Biggie’s son.

      1. lying again, eh son? get your ass off this computer and clean your room before I beat your ass! And after you’re finished, I want you to go and get a job! You’re 39 years old still living in my house and still sleeping in a racing bed. Accountant for YMCMB my black ass!

      2. why wont they delete all his comments? they delete all the gucci mane ones but this lil cock gobbler can paste the same shit all over and troll and no one does shit

      3. because he works for them. I got banned last week for hijacking his shit. he hijacks me nothing happens to him, think about it. even dude on top of the comment section is saying it that this dude gets paid. My shit and Gucci’s shit always get blocked a day later

    2. so he dissed Jay and Ye because 50 grand is nothing to them? they are successful and hella rich, and you are dissing them cuz of that?

      yes 50g’s means a lot to me and i can understand why it might mean little to them. i just do not see that as a good reason to diss someone other than to get notoriety for dissing Jay and Kanye

      1. I understand he was simply answering Jay’s rhetorical question about his extravagant yet hard earned lifestyle by stating what some would do to obtain that from him.
        But the whole mentality of “yeah he has alot, we dont and that makes me angry, lets get him for it” is ridiculous. c’mon my nigga let the fact that he can blow 50k motivate you to work hard to get yours, not take someone else’s

      2. ^ You must not have learned what being humble is. If you tease a hungry person or animal with food then they’ll come at you for it.

    3. Ok, who gives a FUCK! the song was a year n a half ago, drop a new song nigga n finish oxy moron or move yo ass, jay rock cant keep carryin TDE, weee the best, who??? weeee nigga

    4. I made teeth-boy admit months ago that he’s a paid commenter.

      But y’all entertain him, pay for all the Cheetos and juice jars for him to pee in with every single reply click.

    5. I work for this site that’s why I’m always on here. Think about it why is it my comments are never deleted yet other trolls have theirs.

      I also go by drake runs rap, drake runs nfl, REAL, SO ICY. I run all of you.

    6. I get hijacked nope nothing happens to me my screename still exists but the other ppl who get their’s deleted get banned for a while…..BUT NOT ME

      1. What fuckin’ discussion are you new to this site. you want a discussion curve how bout that.

        you don’t even know what’s going on and you don’t want none

    7. he went over school boy Q head he said whats 50 grand to a muthafucka like me can you please remind me because he was fined 50,00 for goin in a college locker room and he was part owner of a team thats why he said the nets can go 0 fo 82 its all public knowledge look it up.

      1. You’re missing the point, it doesn’t matter the context of why Jay said it, he still said it like 50 grand was nothing to him.

    8. yall some dumb niggas he said that shit cause david stern fined him 50 gs when he was part owner of the nets. attention starved rap niggas getting their panties all up in a bunch when shit had nothing to do with them. he aint say whats 50k to a broke bum ass nigga he said what is it to him dummies

    9. Schoolboy is a fucking idiot. Does he have any idea how many rappers have flossed so hard in their songs? Rappers he supposedly looks up to, like 50, have made all sorts of ballerific statements in their songs. Sounds like some hating ass shit to me. These young niggas are just mad Jay is still getting so much shine.

    10. You YMCMB haters are fucking idiots. Because I’m an accountant for Cash Money Records, I spend a lot of time with Birdman. He told me that in 96, Biggie was looking to get out of his contract with Bad Boy so he could sign with Cash Money. If Cash Money is right for Biggie, then it’s clearly the top record label. Unfortunately, Jay-Z and Diddy found out about Biggie’s upcoming departure and had him shot. Also, Birdman as always a role model for Pac. Most of you don’t know this, but the song Hit Em Up was originally supposed to be Split Em Up, a song where Pac brags about fucking Faith, leading to her breakup with BIG. But Birdman explained to Pac that real gangsta’s talking about killing people, so that’s how Hit Em Up took on such a violent tone.

      YMCMB for life. We got the game by the clit!

      1. if you dont like me youre a HATER HATER HATER. MY TROLL GAME GOT NO SUBSTANCE FUCK THIS FUCK THAT BLAH BLAH CACA CACA PEE PEE HEAD

    11. FUCK KENDRICK LAMAR, J. COLE, 2 CHAINZ, ODD FUTURE, LUPE FIASCO, MEEK MILL, WALE, DRAKE, WIZ KHALIFA, BIG SEAN, KID CUDI, B.O.B, MAC MILLER, YELAWOLF, LAUGHTERHOUSE, MACHINE GUN KELLY, ASHER ROTH AND ALL THESE WACK FRESHMEN RAPPERS THAT SOLD THEIR SOUL TO THE DEVIL.
      FUCK EMINEM, JAY-Z, 50, LIL WAYNE, KANYE WEST, DR. DRE, DIDDY AND NAS FOR MAKING SONGS WITH THOSE WACK RAPPERS.

      KILL THE ILLUMINATI! THEY KILLED PAC, EAZY-E AND BIGGIE! ONLY DMX AND ROSS REMAINED THE TRUE WARRIOR FOR THE KILLUMINATI SOLDIERS!

      LISTEN TO REAL MUSIC LIKE IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE, LOWKEY, K-RINO, DIABOLIC, APATHY, CELPH TITLED, VINNIE PAZ, SEAN PRICE, HOPSIN, ROSS,DMX , NECRO, CANIBUS AND ALL THE REAL UNDERGROUND LEGENDS!

      1. Are you crazy? and Ross who? I hope you don’t mean Rick Ross haha! immortal Technique and Low-key are boring as fuck period! If you gonna spread a message make it appealing to the ears. They make funeral music dude. Listen to “pro-era” or “Ab-Soul” or even the “The Underachievers.” for the reality rap. Also for your information Kendrick and Lupe ride for cause, there not Illuminati, and why would the Illuminati what Easy-E dead? He was fucking to many raggedy bitches, that’s why he dead, peace..

      2. LISTEN JERKOFF YOU HAD TO WRITE AN ENTIRE PARAGRAPH TO REASON WITH A FUCKING TROLL…REALLY DID YOU NOT SEE HE GOT JACKED. GOT DAMN ONLY STUPID PPL COME THIS SITE. A WHOLE FUCKING BOOK TO A TROLL

    12. this is the UNDISPUTED top 5

      1.Big boi (Most consistent rapper alive)
      2.Rakim (Best flow)
      3.Scarface (Real OG, King of the south)
      4.Andre 3000 (killed every guest ft)
      5.DMX (realest rapper alive)

      1. Dope list, but replace DMX with either Black Though or AZ.

        And no, I don’t say that because X’s ongoing issues with the law.

      2. big boi (check his own video he’ll always be number 2)
        rakim (goat)
        face (legend but not top 5)
        3 stacks (no solo no top 5, niggas lazy)
        dmx (hot for a minute until drugs dragged him down)

      3. lol u and the 1st commenter r the only people i have ever seen 2 put big boi in the top 3 let alone top 10 i can name atleast 30 rappers better than big boi he always has and will be in andres shadow lyrically or not

    13. 1 – Nas fans (refuse to realize he fell off after Stillmatic)
      2 – Eminem stans (similar to Nas fans, plus they tend to be racist)
      3 – Lil Wayne fans (they worship a nigga who sounds like a roach)
      4 – Kanye West fans (this nigga ain’t no music genius)
      5 – 50 Cent fans (if he never got shot, he would never have fans)
      6 – Jayz fans (they only care about his money)
      7 – Ross fans (they support a fraud)
      8 – Biggie fans (only had 2 albums)

      FYI i support outkast,ugk,wale,game,dmx and tyler

      1. biggie only had two albums because he was killed, if somebody’s dead, i don’t think they’re able to make music. fucking disrespectful

      2. Where are you getting DMX from he feel off years ago? at least Eminem and Nas are still relevant? In regards to Biggie, you don’t rate a rapper based on the number of albums he/she has done. You judge on based on their lyrical talent. “Joey Bad ass” has mixtapes out better than some peoples albums period!

    14. albums nas dropped after stillmatic…….
      godson (universal critical acclaim: metacritic rating:81%)
      the lost tapes (universal critical acclaim metacr. rating:83%)
      street disciple(positive reviews metacr. rating:80%)
      hip hop is dead (positive reviews metacr. rating:79%)
      untitled (positive reviews metacr. rating:71%)
      life is good (universal acclaim metacr. rating:81%)
      dropping quality music but,yeah dude has fallen off…….PLEASE!!!

    15. In tomorrow’s news, Jay-Z explains why he doesn’t give a single fuck who is pissed off at him because he’s sitting on half a billion dollars, multiple platinum albums and Beyonce for a wife.

      Cool story though Quentin…

    16. Its official niggas, Rozay killed 50 in they beef. He workin wit dre who don’t even fuck wit that lame no more. The Bawse makin big moves and he proved he hotter than jeezy or 5.0. Dre wasn’t working wit either of them niggas. Niggas can hate but can’t deny Rozay won

      BAWSE!

      1. Dre wouldnt even come out to film that video for 3 kings. How you got Dr Dre and Jay-Z on the same song on your album and the shit still flops

      2. nigga cant get curtis off his mind hes talking about 50 in every article biggin up his cop idol! true definition of a dickrider and a stan

    17. Chill Out People, It’s Not A Real Diss, Just Him Expressing How He Was Feelin Due To Being Broke… Hip Hop is Not For The Weak Hearted

    18. What a country! You make headlines when you mention Jay-Z name. I could care less what this guy has to say. Music should speak for itself.
