its not grammar, its quoting someones bars. write an article about someones lyrics and misquote them? grab a dictionary and look up grammar, once you do that, look up ignorant.
Colleck is his nephew, not his cousin. So in Beach Chair and Lost ones; Colleck can’t be his cousin in Beach Chair and then his nephew in Lost Ones. In Welcome to the Jungle, most of those bars are about other rappers.
My flesh, no nigga could test, my soul is possessed
By D’evils in the form of diamonds and Lexuses
The Exorcist, got me doing sticks like “homie
You don’t know me but the whole world owe me, strip!”
Thank you. While it may not be true, it seems like the writer started listening to Jay when he dropped “The Black Album”. “Reasonable Doubt” is filled with insightful and dark lyrics. From the song “Dead Presidents II”:
“I saw his life slippin’
This is a minor setback, but still in all, we winning.
Just dream about the getback’
That made him smile, though his eyes said “Pray for me” I’ll do you one better and slay these n*****, faithfully Murder is a tough thing to digest
It’s a slow process, and I ain’t got nothing but time.
I had near brushes, not to mention
Three shots at close range, never touched me, divine intervention.”
How else could those bars and the ones you mentioned be ignored? AND “You Must Love Me”?! No shots, Mitchell, but you gotta go back and re-do this one.
Great lis, but I would have done it differently. Don’t forget about Jay from Vol. 1 to Dynasty. This article’s definition of “morbid” plucked lines from more recent,less heartfelt tracks. The most “morbid”, or should I say (for the sake of clarification) “Realest Jay”, appeared in “This Can’t Be Life”, “Lucky Me”, and “Where Have You Been”…”Soon You’ll Understand” is an honorable mention. That’s an opinion though.
eminem is much more morbid.
yeah, kim is by far morbid
sound like a fucking fool saying a bunch of retarded psycho shyt does not make eminem ahead of anybody
Nobody can touch Tech
How “Regrets” and “This Cant be Life” not make the list though??
the lyrics aren’t even quoted correctly… is this a high school article?
Oh, go to hell, grammar Nazi. So sick of you motherfuckers always correcting people.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YOU SO SENSITIIIIIVE

how about the entire d’evils song???
Hov is the best till he rest. Fuckers
hahahahaha
No D’evils?
hahaha
who the fuck compiled this?
Jay-Z doesn’t make songs with any deep meaning. Come on HHDX, everybody knows Jay-Z is the biggest biter in the history of hip hop.
bullshit..you ain’t really listen to jayz beyond his radio songs….youtube his song….”SOON YOU’LL UNDERSTAND”. are his song..”you must love me”…
Sooooo nothing from the years Jay-Z was actually good??? This is great

Probably his darkest 4 bars…

Now give us real morbid lyrics from DMX, Nas, Tech, Budden & Biggie
Jay Z is da greatest.
The coldest to ever spit bars!!!
That latest shit he did with Jeezy was the coldest I heard it him in a while. Classic Jay!
These days a brotha gotta admire me from four fondue plates away
Da GOAT.
Da greatest….and the competition is not even close.
And niggas have the nerve to say Jay ain’t that great of a lyricist.
how do you leave out “If I should Die” off of Hard Knock life Vol 2?? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLzzgIXZVl8
