Jay-Z "Ride Or Die" - Dis to ???

(1/3) > >>

Lord Funk:
Just gave Hard Knock Life a blast this morning, and was wondering - who is this track dissing?

My guess has always been Mase, especially based on the line "Check your own videos, you'll always be number two", but does anyone know different?

Don Breezio:
i dont think he ever had any beef with mase...im not sure who thats dissing actually but thats one of my favorite jay-z songs.

Lord Funk:
From OHHLA...

I bruise wack rap niggaz severely punish them
Especially those that get fucked for they publishing, heh
Always gotta be the weakest nigga out the crew
I probably make more money off yo' album, than you
You see the respect I get everytime I come through
Check your own videos, you'll always be number two
Niggaz talkin real greasy on them R&B records
but I'm platinum a million times nigga, check the credits
S. Carter, ghost writer, and for the right price
I can even make YO' shit tighter
I roast niggaz like ya, smoke niggaz like ya
Take your little jewels and put the toast to niggaz like ya

Lines in bold are the ones that always brought Mase to mind... it's so personal he must be talking about someone well-known in the rap game IMO.

Don Breezio:
But see those lines could be referring to any number of rappers...none of them apply to mase and noone else...

Nas got fucked for his publishing.. fact.

Nas did "Did you ever think remix" with R.Kelly in '98, the same year Hard Knock Life came out.
The track was coo, but the video was cheesy, imo.


The rest of the lyrics could be anybody..

And I guess Ma$e could be inserted with Nas, and it would look the same.
Diddy probably had his hands way down his pockets.. and he was a typical
r'n'b-cameo kinda dude, imo.
