Jay-Z Then and Now...

[RZARECTA]

what is the above song called? that shit is cool too. who is that Jaz guy? what's his deal? does jay still fuck with him or what? i know he's on RD. eh.

this ain't jay be like crooked I and take more than half a decade to drop a record. that's kind of encouraging.

Jaz is "Jaz-o The Originator".  Jaz really founded that style of rappin.  Jay-Z was his prodige'.  Jaz-o / Jay-Z...get it?  Jaz-O was also on "Jigga What, Jigga Who" on the final verse and he absolutely smashes that shit as well.  Anyway, Jay blew up after he slowed his shit way down.  He left that old style and Jaz behind.

after  Jay-Z  heard his "IDOL" Nas  on "Ny state of mind"  rappin all slow   just  killlin it " I'm takin rappers to a new plateau  through rap slow"  i think he  heard that shit and flipped his style

[RZARECTA]

he doesn't fuck with jaz anymore or what?

-T

there was a whole thing in the source about them to years ago  talkin to jaz-o ... dude was straight pissed off from basically creating jay-z then jay got big left him to be an antique

man oh man do i feel that hard knock life,and can i get a and money ain't a thang are really unpleasant experiences.

this ain't jaz be mad, that's fucked up that Jay did that.

IMO, just about anything (HIP-HOP) Circa 93-94
kill's today's Shit-Hop.

Including JiggaMan

fo real

I greatly disagfree, everyone always thinks a time of before was more littered with good art because the good art is all you remember. I guarantee you there was as much bad music back then, you just don't remember because poor art is unmemorable. To me this mentality is the same kind of mentality that leads every generation to thinking the world will end during their lifetime: in other words, what makes now/us/you so goddamn special? Nah, there's always good and bad art.

jay-z puts out tracks in or around his album for niggaz like you who think because of a few crossover tracks he's lost it

listen to :

dear summer
ignorant shit
my first song
minority report
44 fours
corporate takover

then tell us he's lost it

don't sleep on these tracks

Co-sign, he's still the King, check Kanye's Diamonds Are Forever, What More Can I Say, U Don't Know, Never Change, Renegade, Blueprint (slept on hardcore Nas diss), Show You How, The Prelude...etc.  Plus all the shit homie just listed, all classic tracks, get off the President's dick

I don't kick it, I punt it
I'm so wicked, you want it
My thumbs is green from countin' up all of these hundreds
So I bought a money machine and it go
Blat-tat tat, Blat-tat tat, Blat-tat tat tat DOE
   --Jay Z "I can't get with that" (Dead Presidents b-side)

I fucked with Jay something serious in them times
