Title: Jay-Z
Post by: YoungGunner on April 08, 2004, 06:22:26 AM
What's up people... I just wanted to know what ya'll think about Jay-Z.. I've always been one of these people that just kinda of hated on dude for no reason.. but the other day I got to thinking, about how many songs dude has put out and how many I like... I was like damn dudes tight.. so I started buying his albums here and there and all I got to say is dude is amazing, he rips shit for real...

I have always and still hate Joe Camel...he's trash.

Everything he puts out IMO is retarted.

you should slap yourself for that...Jay is hip hop, lyrically killin everybody in the game

"Motherfuckers -
say that I'm foolish I only talk about jewels (bling bling)
Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?
See I'm influenced by the ghetto you ruined
That same dude you gave nothin', I made somethin doin'
what I do through and through and
I give you the news - with a twist it's just his ghetto point-of-view
The renegade; you been afraid
I penetrate pop culture, bring 'em a lot closer to the block where they
pop toasters, and they live with they moms
Got dropped roasters, from botched robberies niggaz crotched over
Mommy's knocked up cause she wasn't watched over
Knocked down by some clown when child support knocked
No he's not around - now how that sound to ya, jot it down
I bring it through the ghetto without ridin 'round
hidin down duckin strays from frustrated youths stuck in they ways
Just read a magazine that fucked up my day
How you rate music that thugs with nothin relate to it?
I help them see they way through it - not you
Can't step in my pants, can't walk in my shoes
Bet everything you worth; you lose your tie and your shirt" -

"For those that think Hova's just bling bling'n
Either haven't heard the album or they don't know english
They only know what the single is, and singled that out
to be the meaning of what he is about

And bein I'm about my business, not minglin much
runnin my mouth, that shit kept lingerin
But no dummy, that's the shit I'm sprinklin
The album width to keep the registers ringin
In real life, I'm much more distinguished
I'm like a bloke from London, England
Jeah, you jinglin baby
See I go right back and I bring 'em in baby
Business mind of a Ross Perot, but never lost my soul
Crossed the line, I bought pop across the row
Then I walk through the hood, where they up to no good
Slangin them O's like a real O.G. should
Oh, he's good, no he would never sell out he's so hood"


If thats retarded i don't know what is....thats real lyricism....

I hated on him for a while as i didn't like his singles, and i still hate his voice and flow but when he chooses to rap well and with a message, dude is pretty sick. I won't ever buy any of his LP's though.

Jay-Z is the best rapper in the game right now, he shouldnt be retiring.  His flow, lyrics, word play are unbelieveable and he knows how 2 make good albums! "my burners give niggaz, permanant heart murmurs"

i used to dislike Jay-z, but that was when i was a casual hip hop listener. I don't like 90 percent of his singles, because they're mainly trash. Usually his singles are in the worse 50% or the songs on his albums. He's most definitely a great MC, with great wordplay, flow, syntax...  My favorite albums are: Reasonable Doubt, Vol.1, Dynasty, Blueprint2, Blueprint

"There's never been a nigga this good for this long
This hood, or this pop, this hot, or this strong
With so many different flows there's one for this song
The next one I switch up, this one will get bit up
These fucks, too lazy to make up shit, they crazy
They don't, paint pictures, they just, trace me
You know what? Soon they forget where they plucked
they whole style from, they try to reverse the outcome
I'm like - TOUGH!
I'm not a biter I'm a writer for myself and others
I say a B.I.G. verse, I'm only biggin up my brother
Biggin up my borough, I'm big enough to do it
I'm that thorough, plus I know my own flow is foolish
So them rings and things you sing about, bring 'em out
It's hard to yell when the bar-rell's in your mouth
I'm in - new sneakers, dual-seaters
Few divas, what more can I tell you?
Let me spell it for you
Double-U I, double-L, I-E
Nobody truer than, H-O-V
And I'm back for more, New York's ambassador
Prime Minister, back to finish my business up..."

Album: The Black Album

dude...you think cam'ron is one of the greats  ::)

as far as those singles you listed...yeah those were wack...but then again...you've only heard his radio shit obviously if your judging jay-z by those 5 singles. i could name probably 100 jay-z songs that are easily straight up dope hip hop.
