[G-Bee]

Don't know if this has been posted already, but if so, a little reminder won't hurt.

Jay Z told Rolling Stone magazine his top 5 songs of all time and here’s what the wanna be white guy’s list includes:

5. “Respect” by Aretha Franklin
4 “What’s going on” by Marvin Gaye
3. “Imagine” by John Lennon
2. “I can’t get no satisfaction” by The Rolling Stones
1. “Like a Rolling Stone” by Bob Dylan

Here’s what I gotta say to Jay Z FUCK YOU!!! You are from the projects you never grew up hearing Bob Dylan songs you fucking sell-out you a older dude so you grew up in the Funk era fucking liar…Since when nicca’s from the hood listen to Folk music?

This guy Jay Z is such a house nigga he list the Rolling Stones for his second best song and if you was to ask Mick Jagger who was he imitating he’ll tell you James Brown.

Then the wanna be white dude list a John Lennon song as his third favorite song of all time and if that’s the case you fucking sell out why didn’t you sample his music to rap on in the beginning of your rap career.

what does Jay Z and Lionel Richie both have in common? They both wanna be white mane…

So because you grew up in the projects, you subject yourself to just project music? (hip hop persay)

I don't know what to tell you, but those are some classic songs.

Surprising that there isn't any BIG in there though lol.

the fuck?

"AYO I'M FROM MARCY PROJECTS GOT SOME CRACK FOR SALE YO, BANGIN SOME ROLLING STONES IN THE TRUNK WHILE I HUSTLE MY SHIT"

[Jimmy H.]

I can't hate on any list that includes "What's Goin' On". That's probably my favorite song. For that matter, "Imagine" is up there too.

And you do realize this funk era that you're speaking on his "old ass" growing up in was the same era as the songs he listed as his favorites. I don't see it as wanting to be white since Marvin and Aretha are most definitely not white people, I'd view it more as wanting to show he has more depth to his musical interests than just hip-hop. It's not like he came up with the fucking Monkees or some Bee-Gees music, he picked legitimately great songs.

Jay was never a hiphop-head like that.. he likes Coldplay and Beatles & stuff like that.. 

I'd view it more as wanting to show he has more depth to his musical interests than just hip-hop.

dont think he was tryin to show/prove anythin. he simply picked his 5 faorites..

Nah this list has 'let-me-try-to-sound-different' written all over it.

Come on No Biggie? Shit I'm shocked he didn't find a way to throw one of his own songs on there. But seriously for him not to have a single Hip-Hop artist on there is impossible.

Nah this list has 'let-me-try-to-sound-different' written all over it.

No way.  That list is a very stereotypical top 5 list for many people. 

[MontrealCity's Most]

Remember one thing.
JAy is 40-41 now??
When is was 15 my favorite song was a bitch is a bitch by NWA now its def not that at the age i am and when i am 40 i will probably laugh how silly that song is.
The guy is 40 his 5 favorite songs wont be the same as when he was 20 or even 30.

[Knett]

I can't even understand why some people get so mad at this, instantly going off about how a white guy is on number one.
Shut the fuck up. I'm not even going to discuss, just shut up.

Jay-Z was a 90s rapper himself and fully grown by the time hip hop even made it to the mainstream. Most of my favorite songs are ones from my childhood/teenage years.

And why does a rapper's favorite type of music have to be rap? He raps because he has the skill to do it and because he's successful at it.

I was just starting to warm up to Jay a little, and then he pulls this faggot shit. We are back to square one, Mr. Carter.
