Word…people listen to Jay’s last 2, 3 albums and think they know what he’s all about. They don’t understand how good he was. You gotta listen to his earlier albums and then you see why people say he’s one of the greatest of all time.
He got shitted on in The Graveyard? Yeah right…stop hatin on the man. He murdered the Graveyard
Creep thru your head fuck a glock I step,
in your neighborhood armed with nothin but a rep,
I’m givin these ladies somethin they can feel cuz I’m real,
your man get out life then it’s KILL KILL KILL KILL
^^^see what i meant when i said faggots think hes the greatest? @KGFORMAYOR LISTENNN to the Graveyard u cannot possibly think Jay-Z out rapped Big L. Nice lil quote but Big L’s entire verse was a quotable. hahaha even party arty out did Jay!
u dont know shit u nobody
Haha comparing Jay z to Banks. Jay is in leagues with B.I.G Big L pac nas. banks is in leagues with gucci mane tinie tempah joe buddens, they are not garbage, just no where near top 10.
Jay was a lot better back in the day…I remember first hearing that long freestyle with Big L & Jay-Z and I was mesmerized by Big L’s punchlines…It wasn’t until after a few listens that I really picked up on Jay’s punchlines and twisted flow…To me, Jay ripped Big L in that freestyle…
I don’t know what freestyle you were listening to. I’ve heard that freestyle alot of times and Jay definitely came with it but nobody, except maybe Eminem or Nas back in they day, could hang with L in a freestyle. His flow is just too nice and he’s creative as hell. Jay had some good lines too but he stumbled a bit, Big L destroyed it the whole way.
I agree. Big L seems better on the first few listenings because of his sheer presence, but if you listen closely, Jay reigns supreme. More clever lines and a better flow.
I like Nas, he’s a great poet and storyteller. But he could never really battle or freestyle. His punchlines are absolutely awful. I’ve heard far better wordplay from mainstream rappers.
This is the type of shit where you people need to accept that the best to one man might be wack to another. Both Big L and Jay killed that freestyle…me personally, i like Jigga’s shit better, just cuz he has a more abstract, complex flow that L (not to say L’s shit is simple by any means, but put it like this: there are a few verses that jay’s spit where i couldn’t picture L comin’ up with a flow like that, whereas if jay wanted to, he could flow like L all day. Don’t get it twisted tho, Jays an alien with the flow (or at least was, in his prime), and L is definitely one of the illest of all time). Peace
Who would have thought…this young kid from Marcy would have made it this far. Say what you want, but this is a clear application of persistence. Lessons learned for these $5, 1 album “superstars”: There are no shortcuts.
sorry to much jay z overload lol hes good but i dont se why sum ppl say hes the best any one can brag bout money or steal ppls lines an use em,yea he has money its great to have it but i never seen the passion in him its allways bout money this or that,hes not wack and he has pics with the prez and hes dateing beyonce thas cool awsome but becides money wat else does he rap bout listen to all his songs lol
You obvs dont listen to hov. have you heard lucky me, song cry, a week ago, soon youll understand, beach chair, lost ones, never change, izzo, takeover, minority report….tell me jay raps JUST about money
You’re right… jay doesn’t just rap about money. He also raps about being a coke dealer, how much better he is than your favorite rapper, and how he is a hustler who happens to know how to rap. Real creative huh.
And even if he does rap about something remotely real or original, how often does he do it? Once or twice on an entire LP? Please. JAE makes a pretty good point and Jay can claim to be the ‘double-entendre’ king all he wants but he is seriously lacking in substantive subject matter
Look here, y’all can feel how y’all want about Hov but if you’re basing it on his bars…I don’t know what y’all are listening to. Take every Biggie reference (or any other MC) out of his catalog and he will still rip a lot of these cats 2 or 3 new rectums AND have ’em rockin’ shitbags.
This is from years ago people. I believe Jay is in England right now watching Wimbeldon cause i saw him on TV. and for real, if you think HOV isnt one of the best your ears might’ve been blocked by wack MCs over the years.
Sub-par? Word? I mean, go listen to “Thank You” from BP3 and tell me, with those bars and double entrendres, he’s not eating 95% of emcees’ lunch RIGHT NOW.
Yo, if you don’t think Jay is one of the illest who’s ever done it, I’d ask what you’re listening to? Did you hear the jerk line, followed with the Jamaican accent on the next bar? Stupid…AND he was going off top, not spitting a written verse like most emcees today do on air.
The Jamaican accent? The last time I heard Jay pull that out was Young Forever and that is one the most god-awful songs of his career… and BP3 is pathetic… listen Jay may still be better than 90% of the emcees today… but he has fallen off tremendously
You want to see someone who has maintained it after all these years? Check NAS on NASTY. THAT is how you age gracefully and prove you still got it
Joe Budden has never dropped an awesome album and sounds the same on every track, gets outrapped by every single member of his crew and picks even worse beats than Nas. The worst song of Nas >>> Joe Budden’s career.
LOL 8 years huh… so nothing since Stillmatic has even been decent? MORON… Gods Son was great, SD had at least one CDs worth of great material, Untitled was very solid, and DR borders on classic…
LOVE to know who you think has been putting out heat while Nas has been sucking it up like you claim… I hope you say Jay or Em
And NASTY being somewhat decent? +1000 comments and a 4.86 rating sound decent? Has anyone ever seen a rating that high?
People hating on Nas = lames in loser denial like the kid who got the parking cone shoved up his ass by the lacrosse team in Billy Madison
Angel, I have seen you post some of the stupidest shit. Everyone here knows you dick ride Joe Budden, of all rappers. You shouldn’t even be allowed to post anything here disrespecting Nas like that. Nas’ worst song >>>>> Joe Budden’s whiny career
how has Jay been in the game longer when Pac dropped his first album 5 years before Jay dropped his and before that he was touring with Digital Underground?????
Haha, did this dude just say “Then you not really listening to Wayne’s lyrics”
If you have to take a second thought and actually think about something Lil Wayne says NOT to catch it, then your mom lied when she told you the short bus was the “Cool people’s limo”.
by the look of the comments im guessing american gangster was wack too since he should have quit after the black album lol. American Gangster Jay top 3 cd
did yooouuu listen to Renegade?? cuz eminem SHIT on Jay!!!!! lyrically and Flow-wise.. Jay sounded like a studdering Fuck compared to Em, it should have ended Jays career but he has enough dick riders to cop the lame shit he puts out.
stoopid nigga why the f*ck u gon talk about how em murdered Jay on his own shit cuz Jay was not screamin hysterical on a calm track Jay dropped more logic on the track and he has been like that with extreme word play shut the f*ck up u dis fu*kin know it alls wanting to create rivalry all the time suck a dick that a better job maaphakka
I can’t nit pick at anybody freestyle, especially an actual freestyle. Fans today r spoiled by they fav rapper claiming to be freestyling and they spittin verses from they lp r some mixtape…This joint nice, early jay…
jay-z is a better business person, but NaS is a better lyrical hustler. That is truth. Not even with Nasty, even before Nasty. Everyone is like NaS hasn’t dropped a good album in a while. Well….it is hard to decent relative to illmatic. All of his albums are amazing with my personal exception of a couple of tracks from some albums.
But for real, NaS is a better poet, Jay-Z is a better entrepreneur.
BTW, HHDX, Put UP some supernatural freestyles on this website, jeeze, he is the truth when it comes to freestyles.
time for dx to change the pic of jay ,no more grimey shit cuz thats what he aint ,now update the one with the button up shirt or the one where jay is sitting down with elite more like thank u dx
i always knew jay-z was one of the greatest then i heard a mixtape recently that contain all of jays greatest verses and i was like the man is the g.o.a.t. u forget how many memorable versed and lines he has because he has so many albums and songs dude is on another league when he’s focused
who gives a damn…nobody asked u, y u postin comments that has nuthin to do wit this song? I dig nas n would consider him as such but again wut does that have to do wit the song?
every time you niggas here a jay z track yall dumb niggas mention Nas who i am a big fan of but you not listenin to him now if you want to search his name but dont come on jay tracks talkin bout nas when this jay z nas is not even mentioned in this freestyle so u niggas stuck go nas go listen and stop hatin this man who is the best alive still doin it
So many of these posters in the C-section are mad sus, this freestyle is circa 1995…. And although not his best, the word play still flies over the heads of you simple fucks….
That’s that Reasonable Doubt flow. I like that old Jay Z flow much better than this recent style. The old flow had much character, while this new one almost seems like he’s lacking effort because he know fame is a great marketing tool.
Opinion? Maybe the beat. But the truth is, Nas is NOT ABLE to write a proper diss track. Those childish insults might be funny on the first few listens, but then it gets played out, he used them for the lack of facts. Takeover was filled with pure facts, the lines about the albums and Nas’ made up life alone made it better. Ether sounded like a little rant written by a frustrated guy, not a single punchline was clever, just some unoriginal (Gay-Z, Cock-a-fella) type of insults a 5 year old could write. The third verse of Supa Ugly where he talks about Nas’ baby won that whole battle.
I love Jay and NaS both great artist but if you say NaS can’t write diss tracks and you heard Ether you need to get those candles out your ears. Follow @TalentDisplay
ook at all these wiggas on a black website trying to be black…white people still feel they can comment on hip hop… how can u comment on something if its not a part of your culture… white people try so hard to be black.. you know how stupid u look when u try and act and dress black… they made a movie making fun of white people trying to be black (malibu most wanted)… how does it feel to listen to something u can’t relate to… for an example.. when you listen to nas (second childhood)or (destroy & rebuild) or too short (the ghetto)or watch (boyz n the hood)… how can a white person relate to any of those… you cant really get into the song white people because u dont go through what they rapping about… u got some white people on here commenting saying they live in the hood… first off lets define (hood)… just cause you or yor boyz slang a lil crakk and hang on the corner (thats not the hood)…. just cause u and yor boyz own a gun (thats not tha hood)…. just cause one of yor boyz got murked (thats not tha hood)… jus cause u shot someone (thatz not the tha hood)… know in the real hood . the housing authority… when a white person walks through the projects.. everybody starts looking at him for to rob him or sell him drugs.. when a white person shows up in my hood or housing authority .. everbody jus stop and look with they mouth open… cause they gonna either rob that muthafuker or serve him… i seen a thousand times a white wigga come in the hood trying to black and get hiz goofy azz robbed… whu got that (hood 2 hood)dvd… they go through every hood in the united states jus about.. not one white person on the whole dvd… lol lol lol…. to all the white people trying to be black … hip hop is for black race created by the black race… go look at a paul wall video and look at the way he moves his body trying to look black .. that shit never comes out right.. cause white people have no Rhythm…. thats like the funnyiest thing when whites act or dance black lol lol lol lol lol i
Big L >>> Jay-Z on that track. Be serious. Maybe J’s flow was better but lyrically Big L’s punchlines and metaphors were WAY ahead of his time. Remember when Jay-Z wanted to retired after Vol 3? Who did he sign right before that? BIG L! Even J knows Big L was better than him. Trust me….
Youngsters this was back in the day. This was before all his latest junk. At this time this was fire! He got down for a bit. Big L did handle him back in the day!! This is probably the only time ever you would hear Jay on some WU. Respect the Art from the 90’s.
Hey does anyone know what the beat at the start is from, the one that plays in the background when Jay and the DJ are discussing Kane, In my lifetime videos etc?
Any artist who leases a beat and records a fire track not only gets 1 FREE lease..i’ll also upload the track to my soundclick page(FREE PROMO) also..send mp3’s to zombeatzz@gmail.com…#ImDeadSerious!!
Hey guys I’m an inspiring rapper trying to make it big and if you could take a little time out to check out my channel and my facebook page it would mean so much to me, I promise I you guys won’t be disappointed.
this ish is hot
Lloyd Banks would crush Jay Z
This is Jay from yearsss ago..Banks has no chance
Kill yourself.
kill urself buddy,, what the hell is the matter with u thinkin Banks would “crush” Hov. fuckin retard.
This was a real treat…
Amazing how much swag Jay had even back then before he had an album our or any major success yet…
Real cool to hear him talk about the early days of Roc-a-fella…Took me back…
And of course the rapping was incredible…
iLL
Allah
This is Jay from yearssss ago..Banks has no chance
Lloyd Banks would crush Jay Z. believe that!
gotta be special to think loyd banks is better than jay-z
like.. banks of all people ..
you gotta brush up on hip hop history and actually listen to the lyrics of the first 5, 6, 7 jay-z albums
everytrack, message, story, sick rhymes flows
loyd gotta mention jay-z among his inspirations
Word…people listen to Jay’s last 2, 3 albums and think they know what he’s all about. They don’t understand how good he was. You gotta listen to his earlier albums and then you see why people say he’s one of the greatest of all time.
Youtube channel for new Drake, Lil Wayne, Eminem and more hiphop: Check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBxCqKwXVLI
Sorry, i have to give this a 1 because Jay-Z and the all time greats are not not coming back to save HipHop:
1/5
That makes no sense….
great lyrics miss those type rhymes
sounds more like an interview
godddd i just HATE Jay-Zs name, voice, and fucking face.
he got shit on by Big L on The Graveyard
he got shit on by Eminem on Renegade
yet faggots think he’s the greatest.
well…you shit on yourself,and your moms still thinks IM the greatest!!suck some more baby dicks loser lol
He got shitted on in The Graveyard? Yeah right…stop hatin on the man. He murdered the Graveyard
Creep thru your head fuck a glock I step,
in your neighborhood armed with nothin but a rep,
I’m givin these ladies somethin they can feel cuz I’m real,
your man get out life then it’s KILL KILL KILL KILL
your an idiot … thats ok tho you just dont know any better. Hov forgives you
^^^see what i meant when i said faggots think hes the greatest? @KGFORMAYOR LISTENNN to the Graveyard u cannot possibly think Jay-Z out rapped Big L. Nice lil quote but Big L’s entire verse was a quotable. hahaha even party arty out did Jay!
u dont know shit u nobody
I agree with you man, he is overrated, way to much hype, also your girls pussy looks tender & plump, I would like to see it.
haha dis dudes a dumbass ^^^^ proof even retards know wassup. Jay is whack.
GOD MC
dam this nigga dont stop he eats lyrics no h8
Haha comparing Jay z to Banks. Jay is in leagues with B.I.G Big L pac nas. banks is in leagues with gucci mane tinie tempah joe buddens, they are not garbage, just no where near top 10.
gucci mane isn’t just garbage he’s like the deffinition. I love how the got the good dwella’s beat.
classic jay z love the old day’s of hiphop
gather the data until your mind dont matter
great line..or half a line ?
edit also jay z would have ripped that wu tang beat aswell
He did? Criminology
this is sick! that black cat line was ill!
Jay-Z was unbelievable ill on the mic back then. Reasonable Doubt is up there with the best albums of all time. The lyricism was out of this world.
Jay was a lot better back in the day…I remember first hearing that long freestyle with Big L & Jay-Z and I was mesmerized by Big L’s punchlines…It wasn’t until after a few listens that I really picked up on Jay’s punchlines and twisted flow…To me, Jay ripped Big L in that freestyle…

Izzo??? You have got to be kidding me.
96-2003 Jay-z was great but he fell off after The Black Album.
They could of kept that one in the vault. Shit was whack! Never heard Hov come so weak.
Look here, y’all can feel how y’all want about Hov but if you’re basing it on his bars…I don’t know what y’all are listening to. Take every Biggie reference (or any other MC) out of his catalog and he will still rip a lot of these cats 2 or 3 new rectums AND have ’em rockin’ shitbags.
This is from years ago people. I believe Jay is in England right now watching Wimbeldon cause i saw him on TV. and for real, if you think HOV isnt one of the best your ears might’ve been blocked by wack MCs over the years.
Well… Classic Jay-Z.
It’s sad how wack dude is now. Oh well. If he stopped with the Black Album…
So American Gangster was wack? oh ok
Overrated, Jigga has been sub-par for a very long time now.
Sub-par? Word? I mean, go listen to “Thank You” from BP3 and tell me, with those bars and double entrendres, he’s not eating 95% of emcees’ lunch RIGHT NOW.
No thanks Jiggaman, nice try
Yo, if you don’t think Jay is one of the illest who’s ever done it, I’d ask what you’re listening to? Did you hear the jerk line, followed with the Jamaican accent on the next bar? Stupid…AND he was going off top, not spitting a written verse like most emcees today do on air.
Co-Sign!
Guy above:
The Jamaican accent? The last time I heard Jay pull that out was Young Forever and that is one the most god-awful songs of his career… and BP3 is pathetic… listen Jay may still be better than 90% of the emcees today… but he has fallen off tremendously
You want to see someone who has maintained it after all these years? Check NAS on NASTY. THAT is how you age gracefully and prove you still got it
Nas finally drops one somewhat decent song and you’re on his dick. Nas hasn’t dropped a decent album in 8 years.
Joe Budden has never dropped an awesome album and sounds the same on every track, gets outrapped by every single member of his crew and picks even worse beats than Nas. The worst song of Nas >>> Joe Budden’s career.
Angel
LOL 8 years huh… so nothing since Stillmatic has even been decent? MORON… Gods Son was great, SD had at least one CDs worth of great material, Untitled was very solid, and DR borders on classic…

People hating on Nas = lames in loser denial like the kid who got the parking cone shoved up his ass by the lacrosse team in Billy Madison
hip hop is dead was definitely a “decent album” too
More than that.
Angel, I have seen you post some of the stupidest shit. Everyone here knows you dick ride Joe Budden, of all rappers. You shouldn’t even be allowed to post anything here disrespecting Nas like that. Nas’ worst song >>>>> Joe Budden’s whiny career
Jay has the most amazing flow.
This guy should’ve gracefully bowed out at black album. Past his prime. Nobody wants to hear grandpa rap.
This guy on the other hand still amazes, and hes been out for a while.
https://hiphopdx.com/index/singles/id.15593/title.tupac-watch-yo-mouth
then there would be no American Gangster. AG went harder than the Black Album
American Gangster was great, maybe not classic, but still a brilliant album.
HATERS… JAY THE BEST THING RAP HAD IN A LONG TIME SINCE 2 PAC AND BIGGIE
… Jay-Z has been in the game longer than Pac & Biggie….
In spite of how I feel bout his personal beliefs…he’s a monster!
Jay is the worse thing to happen to rap and Hip Hop
he completely fucked up Def Jam
how has Jay been in the game longer when Pac dropped his first album 5 years before Jay dropped his and before that he was touring with Digital Underground?????
SOME OF YOU DUDE LIKE WAYNE BUT HE GIVE U NO SUBSTANCE….
Then you not really listening to Wayne’s lyrics. Typical Wayne hater.
what lyrics? I’ve listened to every Lil Wayne song out there. His recent shit doesn’t even count as lyrics.
Haha, did this dude just say “Then you not really listening to Wayne’s lyrics”
If you have to take a second thought and actually think about something Lil Wayne says NOT to catch it, then your mom lied when she told you the short bus was the “Cool people’s limo”.
RZA-Rectah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DJ was wack. Made it hard for Jay to get a rythm…
“For the love of money like a Tom Cruise, I put 8 balls in corners without using pool sticks”
Right..how about dat!
yo said ” run with one of dem cats who heist tiffany’s for dem jewels’ …
hmmm…
What Was The Beat That was playing when he was talking to the DJ before he started flowing? Anyone?
Cella Dwellas
Jay-Z has always had good flow. Still prefer Nas though.
by the look of the comments im guessing american gangster was wack too since he should have quit after the black album lol. American Gangster Jay top 3 cd
American Gangster was sick, But It would be Like his 4th best Behind Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint and The Black Album.

“Eminem murdered you on your own shit” – Nas
Did you listen to the lyrics on Renegade? Jay was much better.
Not to say, that Nas is scared to do a track with Eminem. Why didn’t Em get a verse on The Cross? Exactly.
did yooouuu listen to Renegade?? cuz eminem SHIT on Jay!!!!! lyrically and Flow-wise.. Jay sounded like a studdering Fuck compared to Em, it should have ended Jays career but he has enough dick riders to cop the lame shit he puts out.
nas & Em wouldnt be a nice combo i think…
stoopid nigga why the f*ck u gon talk about how em murdered Jay on his own shit cuz Jay was not screamin hysterical on a calm track Jay dropped more logic on the track and he has been like that with extreme word play shut the f*ck up u dis fu*kin know it alls wanting to create rivalry all the time suck a dick that a better job maaphakka
Nas isnt the one who has spent his entire career avoiding doin tracks with real lyricists
if anyone was shook it was Em
I can’t nit pick at anybody freestyle, especially an actual freestyle. Fans today r spoiled by they fav rapper claiming to be freestyling and they spittin verses from they lp r some mixtape…This joint nice, early jay…
jay-z is a better business person, but NaS is a better lyrical hustler. That is truth. Not even with Nasty, even before Nasty. Everyone is like NaS hasn’t dropped a good album in a while. Well….it is hard to decent relative to illmatic. All of his albums are amazing with my personal exception of a couple of tracks from some albums.

BTW, HHDX, Put UP some supernatural freestyles on this website, jeeze, he is the truth when it comes to freestyles.
It’s sad that Jay-Z is penalized for not being dead. Hip hop culture is becoming very backwards.
Y EVERYTIME JAY MAKE A DAM SONG SOMEONE GOTTA SAY SOMETHING ABOUT NAS.JUST COMMENT ON JAYZ DAM.

time for dx to change the pic of jay ,no more grimey shit cuz thats what he aint ,now update the one with the button up shirt or the one where jay is sitting down with elite more like thank u dx
Does it matter what picture they put up? Fucking faggot. Probably jerks off to Jay-Z and shit.
i dont understand that comment either what are you a female who cares what pic they put up. ?///////////
dude stfu thats the sickest pic of jay ever
What a shame to this beat.
i always knew jay-z was one of the greatest then i heard a mixtape recently that contain all of jays greatest verses and i was like the man is the g.o.a.t. u forget how many memorable versed and lines he has because he has so many albums and songs dude is on another league when he’s focused
Nas is the G.O.A.T.
Jay not even top 10
who gives a damn…nobody asked u, y u postin comments that has nuthin to do wit this song? I dig nas n would consider him as such but again wut does that have to do wit the song?
lol don’t cry.
every time you niggas here a jay z track yall dumb niggas mention Nas who i am a big fan of but you not listenin to him now if you want to search his name but dont come on jay tracks talkin bout nas when this jay z nas is not even mentioned in this freestyle so u niggas stuck go nas go listen and stop hatin this man who is the best alive still doin it
c’mon for real you suck
whats the beat!?!?!?
the one at the start and the one he freestyles on!?!?!
So many of these posters in the C-section are mad sus, this freestyle is circa 1995…. And although not his best, the word play still flies over the heads of you simple fucks….
why are people STILL fucking talking about jay-z and nas? that shit is 10 years old. get over it.
Because they’re your favorite rappers’ favorite rappers, youngin’
no there not…
maybe not jay so much but when it comes to nas say no more.
The nigga talked for 10 minutes and rhymed for 1.I respect you Jay but come ahn!!!
And his wordplay didnt fly over my head.I heard everything he said line for line and understood it all.I aint new to this.
That’s that Reasonable Doubt flow. I like that old Jay Z flow much better than this recent style. The old flow had much character, while this new one almost seems like he’s lacking effort because he know fame is a great marketing tool.
#1 dead or alive
Jay is, besides Nas, the best to ever do it.
Slick Rick, Kool Keith, Big Daddy Kane, Wu Tang, Pharaoh Monch, and the list goes on youngsta.
not in the top 20…top 25 arguably
both of the comments above me? fuck yall talkin bout?
Not in the top 20? Are you fucking retarded? Definitely top 5 no question.
*SiGH* Where did THIS Jay-Z go?
He got rich, grew up and the world changed. youtube/clodubai
Ridiculous!
@1SL_Regan *follow this*
1SL_Regan
Freestyle was garbage.
Raekwon should smack him for pissing his pants over that beat.
Greatness!!!
Nas could never fuck with Jay. Takover is, from a lyrical standpoint, 10 times the track Ether is. I don’t need to mention that it’s based on facts.
actually idiot it’s based on OPINION nothing more, and Nas will always be outta Jay Z league
Nas slaughtered Jay in that battle Takeovers one of the mos mediocre diss tracks of all time and Jay is one of the mos over-rated of all time
Nas has NEVER bitten rhymes Jay has
Nas has his own style Jay uses Jaz O n others
Opinion? Maybe the beat. But the truth is, Nas is NOT ABLE to write a proper diss track. Those childish insults might be funny on the first few listens, but then it gets played out, he used them for the lack of facts. Takeover was filled with pure facts, the lines about the albums and Nas’ made up life alone made it better. Ether sounded like a little rant written by a frustrated guy, not a single punchline was clever, just some unoriginal (Gay-Z, Cock-a-fella) type of insults a 5 year old could write. The third verse of Supa Ugly where he talks about Nas’ baby won that whole battle.
*mama
*mother
I love Jay and NaS both great artist but if you say NaS can’t write diss tracks and you heard Ether you need to get those candles out your ears. Follow @TalentDisplay
ehh
ehhhhh nothin special at all
jay fuckin killed this shit
ook at all these wiggas on a black website trying to be black…white people still feel they can comment on hip hop… how can u comment on something if its not a part of your culture… white people try so hard to be black.. you know how stupid u look when u try and act and dress black… they made a movie making fun of white people trying to be black (malibu most wanted)… how does it feel to listen to something u can’t relate to… for an example.. when you listen to nas (second childhood)or (destroy & rebuild) or too short (the ghetto)or watch (boyz n the hood)… how can a white person relate to any of those… you cant really get into the song white people because u dont go through what they rapping about… u got some white people on here commenting saying they live in the hood… first off lets define (hood)… just cause you or yor boyz slang a lil crakk and hang on the corner (thats not the hood)…. just cause u and yor boyz own a gun (thats not tha hood)…. just cause one of yor boyz got murked (thats not tha hood)… jus cause u shot someone (thatz not the tha hood)… know in the real hood . the housing authority… when a white person walks through the projects.. everybody starts looking at him for to rob him or sell him drugs.. when a white person shows up in my hood or housing authority .. everbody jus stop and look with they mouth open… cause they gonna either rob that muthafuker or serve him… i seen a thousand times a white wigga come in the hood trying to black and get hiz goofy azz robbed… whu got that (hood 2 hood)dvd… they go through every hood in the united states jus about.. not one white person on the whole dvd… lol lol lol…. to all the white people trying to be black … hip hop is for black race created by the black race… go look at a paul wall video and look at the way he moves his body trying to look black .. that shit never comes out right.. cause white people have no Rhythm…. thats like the funnyiest thing when whites act or dance black lol lol lol lol lol i
WTF………….You look like a white boy
haha yeah man those whiteys dont know what they’re doing. black power lol
yo scottie minor hip hop aint black or white son if you were real youd know that, had to comment on the stupidity of your post
Never forget when Big L destroyed Jz battling on the radio back in the day. Made him look amateur, he aint no better today.
Jay killed that big l shit.. you’re a faggot.. he was freestyling destroying that flow..but yea w.e your in-tilted to your opinion..ya fucking homo
Jay >>> Big L on that track, don’t understand why people always prefer Big L, might be because he’s dead or rapped in that fast flow.
Big L >>> Jay-Z on that track. Be serious. Maybe J’s flow was better but lyrically Big L’s punchlines and metaphors were WAY ahead of his time. Remember when Jay-Z wanted to retired after Vol 3? Who did he sign right before that? BIG L! Even J knows Big L was better than him. Trust me….
BIG L fucking SLAUGHTERED Jay period its not even debatable, punchlines, metaphors, wordplay everythin L slayed that nigga
Youngsters this was back in the day. This was before all his latest junk. At this time this was fire! He got down for a bit. Big L did handle him back in the day!! This is probably the only time ever you would hear Jay on some WU. Respect the Art from the 90’s.
Hey does anyone know what the beat at the start is from, the one that plays in the background when Jay and the DJ are discussing Kane, In my lifetime videos etc?
CELLA DWELLAS!!!
Cella Dwellas- Realms n Reality
