Quote of the Day

Posted by Bossip Staff

Jay-Z was one of 40 New Yorkers interviewed for Time Out New York magazine:

You’re the only rapper on this list. We were considering Nas but have this 13-year rule: People on this list had to have had an impact in the last 13 years. And Illmatic was 1994. Should we have included him?

Jay-Z: Ah, wow! [Laughs] That’s a tough question. [Pauses] Yeah, only because of the impact of that album, when it’s considered one of the best albums ever created, you have to document that.

How about Kanye? Has he earned it yet?

Jay-Z: He’s from Chicago, but he’s close. I don’t know if he’s had that one album that’s moved the entire culture, but he’s hit it three times in a row. He’ll be on every list one day.

Are you guys really teaming up for Blueprint 3?

Jay-Z: Yeah, actually. We’re partners right now. Starsky and Hutch right now.

And B? What was your first meeting with your wife like?

Jay-Z: I can’t answer that question. [Laughs] Come on now.

Seriously? You guys wrote a song about being in love.

Jay-Z: I’m actually pretty open, especially in the music. And in conversation, when I get to know people. But there’s one side of my life I tend to keep quiet. You have to have some time of sanity. You can’t live with everything out there. You have to have sanctuary.

Damn, they didn’t have to do our boy Nas like that…

    Hi Hannibal!

  3. love lee

    2nd so what

  4. Hannibal

    HELLO AUNT VIV


  5. Damn that was 94′?

    Yall gettin’ old :)

  6. Dame

    I heart Jay he is a smart man but the question was cold.

    Nas is a beast tooo

  7. Shomondo

    Hi Aunt Viv! Hi Nikki!

  8. Don't mind me

    ok so bonnie and clyde was ……….

    ?

    your nose is out there brov

  9. Shomondo

    What up wid da black backdrop!

  10. Vee

    Hey Folks. I luv Jay’s swagger. Keep them folks out of your biz!

  11. Its6amHoGetOut

    Nas is overrated, better than every nigga who’s ever picked up a mic from the south, but still overrated.

  12. cns

    Boring.

  13. shesofine

    Jigga is my nigga but I think he and his wife are full of shit. Still love them though!


  14. Shomondo & Vee….

    How old were you in 94′? I was 12….


  15. HEY!!! Where did my nose go?

  16. Suckmybritt

    Full of shit? They are full of money that you don’t have. HI HATER!

  17. no names were left

    He makes some very sound and profitable business moves and I respect that aspect a whole lot, he has also had a few songs that I liked alot back in the late 90’s. The last few songs of his I really liked was back in 2003 “Dirt of your shoulder” “Change clothes” and “Encore” with linkin park. Since after that Black Album he hasnt had any song that I liked, but thats just MY OPINION.

    However I can see why if they were going to choose a rapper who has in the last 13yrs had a huge impact be it thru rhyme or business moves I will have to give it to this man.

    Im no Jay Z fan, but Kanye is definately a very strong contender if he continues on the path that he is on SANS the temper tantrums which in all honestly I find rather amusing and entertaining lol.

  18. Vee

    NIKKI-I turned 21 in 1994. I’m a proud 35 year old!

  26. Official TimeHater (Be a bonfire when others are just a flame)

    1994…13 years old.. ahh time you went by too fast.

    Any hooo, I love this comment

    “But there’s one side of my life I tend to keep quiet. You have to have some time of sanity. You can’t live with everything out there. You have to have sanctuary.”

  27. Oshie ("Scooby Dooby Doo! Mike Vic lookin' boy...")

    A) Hov is ugly as hell

    B) Illmatic is one of the best hip-hop albums EVER. Way better than anything Hov will ever produce.

  28. Vee

    @ uptowngirl: We representn’ well. Youngins LOVE me: I got on the train this morning & this kid-couldn’t have been more than 19, was trying his DAMNDEST to get my ph#. I kept saying “No, no I’m too old for you”. He’s like “Oh I like older women Ma. What-u like 25, 26?” I’m like “no, no…” He keeps guessing-wrong, so I finally said “Honey I’m 35.” He yelled “Thrity-Five! GTFOH! Damn you look good, for real. Hey I rap-u goin be in my video?” I said “Lawd help this fool.”

  29. PRTTYBRWNGIRL

    ^^ right i was digging that sanctuary comment too ..thats my new line when i want to politely tell people to fuck off

  30. Aunt Viv

    Hi Shomondo! Hi Vee! Hi Daywalker!

    Goodness 1994 was 14 years ago already! Jeez! I was in college!

  31. Divadeebr

    Wow I was 17 back in ‘94. i loves me some Jay and I love how he keeps his personal life seperate. I was at the Heart of the City tour in New Orleans like a week after he and Beyonce got married and she was there but he only mentioned her once in a joking manner. I love that! Protect your wifey Hov!!

  32. Hannibal

    DAMN, Y’ALL OLD… AND I MEAN THAT IN THE NICEST WAY POSSIBLE…

  33. Aunt Viv

    30+ fam STAND UP!!

  34. kai (fre and fnm in the high 2's, time for my LV. There is a light)

    Just when I thought I couldnt see an uglier picture of this mofo, you had to throw this one up. You know, Bossip, I have half the mind to believe you guys do this shit intentionally LMFAO! You know hes caked, but cannot deny his atrociousness and post one of his bad sides looking like “Amy” the baboon. Why?


  35. :(

  36. Honey Pott

    As far as a constant impact, yes Jay-Z did that. But for them to not acknowledge Stillmatic by Nas is crazy. That was a hot album in my opininon, not to mention he blew Jay-Z out the water with Ether, and that was only what 2000 2001. Come on now, they’ve got to give up for that.

  37. kai (fre and fnm in the high 2's, time for my LV. There is a light)

    1994, i was 10.

  38. Hannibal

    ILLMATIC MAY BE THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME, RIGHT BEHIND MC HAMMER’S GREATEST HITS…


  39. Vee…

    Gone head!!

    Daywalker…

    Chello!!

    Cage…

    Cage baby…what can I say?? :)

    KZZ…

    I wanted that one up before this one…and it JUST showed up…WTH?

  40. Vee

    Hey Aunt Viv and anyone I missed.

    @ Hannibal-thanks, uh, for the compliment?

    Your day is coming-remember that. :-)

    It’s beautiful to get older and wiser–and BETTER!

    Don’t sleep–some of these youngins look like they could be MY parents. Oy Ve’…

  41. hmpf

    Jay looks bad in that pic.

  42. K-mia

    Are they sayin that Nas hasnt made an impact in Hip Hop in the last 13 years?? Umm until hip hop is dead everyone thought it was cool to be a shitty rapper…now everyone’s talkin about bringing the real hip hop back, if it wasnt for Nas no one would be talkin like that.

  43. And...

    Mind fk, mind fk, mind fk….

    Rappers say things that educated & reasonable people say so naturally & pretty much everyday w/o seeking kudos or props for it…

    Anytime they speak w/tact or sense people swoon all over them like they’re the Dalai Lama, I Ching, Tolstoy or something…

    Please. Get out the house more. It’s all entertainment & a mind fk.

    “As he gazed at his half-read copy of War & Peace…”

  44. K-mia

    And illmatic is still the best rap album of all time, no famous guest appearances, all raw talent.


  45. I don’t know how B wakes up to this every morning but if she loves it i can’t knock her. peace


  46. dont hate peeps grow up

  47. the hobbit

    Illmatic was an ok album Reasonable Doubt….Classic!!! Nas and Jay Z are different styles so u cant compare the two. Lyrically Jay is too witty, Nas is somewhat overrated. He is a boss but not the boss.

    All in all aint nobody fucking with those two period. If you think not listen to Success and Black Republicans. Name 2 rappers that can hold a bar to these two…fuck BIG and Tupac they are dead…no disrespect to the dead.

  48. dapro11 (killing em gently.GOD meant me to push a bentley

    Never heard of this mag but lyrically Jay can’t fu^# with Nasty Nas

    What’s up Bossip Fam

    I see ya

  49. Hannibal

    @THE HOBBIT

    IF IT WASN’T FOR BIGGIE, THERE WOULD BE NO JAY-Z…


  50. Hann…

    How old are ou?

    dapro…

    what up?!?

  51. Realmatic

    They shoulda asked him about that Ether…

  52. Vee

    Question Bossipers: who do you think is the most underrated rapper in the game ???

    I’ll start: for me its a three way tie between Common, Saigon and The Roots (Philly stand-up)!

  53. WeStKoaSt

    They wrong for doing Nas like that. He may have been off the radar and not in the news very much like Jay has been but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t somewhere making an impact. I mean, wtf, 14 years later, rappers and people are still calling Stillmatic one of THE most influential albums of all time.


  54. Vee…

    Talib Kweli…I see that Common too.

  55. Hannibal

    THE MOST UNDERRATED RAPPER IS ANDRE 3000

  56. Vee

    Wow Hannibal-agreed!

  57. Tracey

    HE IS A ****ING FREE MASON AND AN UGLY ONE I MIGHT ADD, BEYONCE IS ONE TOO, A DEVIL WORSHIPPING FREE MASON AND DO NOT DO THE TRIANGLE SEEING THING THEY DO WITH THEIR HANDS EITHER…IT IS EVIL!


  58. 3000 Stacks….yes…I see that as well…

  59. Aunt Viv

    @ Hannibal,

    ILLMATIC MAY BE THE GREATEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME, RIGHT BEHIND MC HAMMER’S GREATEST HITS…

    ____________________________

    LOL


  60. So you’re blatantly not going to answer my question hunh?

  61. Aunt Viv

    @ Vee,

    Co-sign on Common and The Roots!

  62. gimme a break (vote for change)

    And B? What was your first meeting with your wife like?

    Jay-Z: I can’t answer that question. [Laughs] Come on now.

    __________

    sometimes i wonder who the heck Jayz think he is – he is an uneducated fool who happen to make a few rap albums , that ppl happen to buy, and make him who he is today -

    why he could never answer any question about that other uneducated one beyonce – jeeeez

    they are not that serious – i seen more powerful couple take about their personal life – what the big deal you cant answer one question about your wife.

    y’all not icon or anythink like that ( wtf)

  63. Scorpio Queen

    Love Jay z to death can never get enough, but I underand some thing u want to keep private but saying I love my wife there is no one better is a lot no want to hear what you’ll do in bed, that private, if any one asked me about my husband and out first meeting it was a beautiful thing Hov, non better I LOVE MY HUSBAND, you’ll already in the public eye let the love yo have for each other shine and show be human I will really like to see the two of you’ll shine and wish you’ll the very best, DO NOT BE SHY EXPRESS THE LOVE YOU HAVE FOR EACH OTHER,stop being so damn professional about your LOVE still will support your music just DONT GET COLD, Love yuh Jay


  64. Why does Bossip have a black background on the page. I thought something was wrong with my computer. I don’t like it, change it Bossip!!

  65. And...

    @ gimmie a break…

  66. brown sugar

    i thought jay-z came out in ‘96?


  67. Jay-Z could have dissed Nas but he didn’t…the interviewer was an asshole for asking the question the way he did!

    Jay and B are smart. (I can’t believe I just said that)

    When they don’t talk about their relationship people keep talking about them… attention whores.


  68. What it do, crew????????

    LOL! I totally agree.

    I am a young blood…so I don’t know anything about the song Ether, so I downloaded it and listened to it and all I have to say is wow! Nas killed Jay with that song.

  74. Cage

    Actually there was a famous cat (at the time) on Illmatic. Q-tip did the hook to One Love… And Pete Rock was hittin us with Ad-libs on Halftime…

    I think that was about it…

    jayz say what you want about nas

    but he have a better voice for rappin over you

    his lyrics is not so materialistic like yours.

    Nas kick knowledge and sense in his music …jayz

    even crack out DMX can rap better than you….shit

    you just happen to make more money than NAS ….cause ppl tends to listen to bullshit over knowlege and sense….just like your wife’s music, pure nonsense you guys kick.

  80. Hannibal

    NIKKI…

    WHAT WERE YOU QUESTIONING ME ABOUT…

  81. inga

    1994….the good ol’ days. I was 20 years old then.

    Jay is the truth. Can’t wait for the new album.

  82. Hannibal

    LYRICALLY

    NAS > JAY-Z

  83. K-mia

    yeah they were on the album, but does it really count since they didnt drop verses, and no on knew Qtip as a solo artist??


  84. Hannibal…

    I asked your age…


  85. WTF happened to my cotdam comment!!

    See–

    BOSSIP be on some ol’ blind man’s bluff shit!!!

    First the black background. Got me feelin like I’m at Olan Mills and shit. Then my shit just….disappears!

    Stop trippin’ BOSSIP!!!

    Y’all know I’m STILL kinda salty witchu mufukkas!!

    @K-mia

    “And illmatic is still the best rap album of all time, no famous guest appearances, all raw talent.”

    I double co-sign that comment. Mc’s today excuse me, These rappers today cant make an entire album w/o Weezy,Jeezy,Yeezy,Chris Brown,Akon or T-pain. Hip-Hop will never be the same….

  90. K-mia

    Oh I loved that song too!!

  91. Cage

    @ K-mia: I see what you sayin…. But it still counts cause even back then I knew pete rock had them beats… Just knowin he was backed by some respected cats back then made me give it a more serious listen…. No one knew AZ as a solo artist either and that cat ripped it… Might have ripped it better than Nas on Life’s a bitch…

  92. Hannibal

    DO YOU ALL KNOW WHO AZ IS? NOW THAT NIGGA IS THE TRUTH…

    He is so handsome and sexy..so many mature women want to meet him, but I hear he just dates a rich women at the nice site called ** [ ____Seeking40plus COM_____ ] **..do you want to know more about him? His profile is really interesting.

  138. ***

    I think Nas is not one of those type of people who put material possessions over his music. If he wanted to do endorsements, he would have but i don’t think he’s that type of person. He’s strictly in the music business for the music.

    I think Nas is not one of those type of people who put material possessions over his music. If he wanted to do endorsements, he would have but i don’t think he’s that type of person. He’s strictly in the music business for the music.

    ————————————————–

    yeah, and Nas doesnt even care about selling albums, cuz anyone who is a fan of rap knows that albums sales have little to do with talent. He stopped caring about selling albums a long time ago

    Jay is cool, but he’s becoming a norm, this next album has to put him back out there as abnormal, you digg?

    @ENCYCLOPEDIA BROWN

    WHY DO U WANNA KNOW…


  176. Jay Z is sooo wack to me. He better be THANKFULL B.I.G. died because he’d never be where he was if he were alive. And he used to be JOCKIN B.I.G. hard! But NAS is the bizznizz. I think Nas is sick of rap and was pretty much finished after he ETHERED Jay. Jay can never EVA mess with Nas afetr that.

  177. Encyclopedia Brown

    That’s what I thought. So how many people in the top 10 work for Bossip?

  178. Hannibal

    LMAO

  179. Z

    I don’t know about anyone else but I have more Nas hits in my MP3 playa than jay-z’s….I feel disrespected for Nas.

  180. Misty Knight

    Im so tired of folks jumpin on the bandwagon of a 6 year old diss song! Im a Nas fan but ether is overrated, hes done better. And now it seems like the rest of the slowmos are just now hearing it, like you read it somewhere, or heard it on the radio and googled it. Folks these days are soo impressionable..all this damn “Ether this , and Ether that” and you lames cant even remember a damn line! Lame asses

  181. Mrs. Philly

    6AM….That conversation made no sense, but I always had ya back but it’s cool…you not my favorite no more, I’m over you…


  182. @Musty Knight

    BITCH you are lame! So what if someone wants to bring up Ether. I’ve been followiong Nas for years but that Jay Z diss was a huge moment in hip hop because “King Jay Z” finally got a lyrical ass whooping and was knocked off his throne. Get Jay’s balls of your tonsils lame! :smile:

  183. Redd Tony aka Earth Sign

    I like Nas new album, he spittin knowledge


  184. E. Brown…

  190. L Boogie….

    What up Mama???? I see you held your hand up like “GOOD DAY”

  191. KMBPYT

    Yes Nas should have been on the list. I mean the only good moves Jay has been making are business related. He previous albums have sucked.

  192. Mrs. Philly

    @NU…He always tryin to diss me and I’m the one that actually likes the brotha…but it’s all good :)

    Whats up with everybody today?

  193. Misty Knight

    @Whoa

    A lame says what?!

    Wow is it that serious?! Its great that you seem to be soo emotionally invested in Nas’s career and all but you need to take it down a thousand! all the “bitch” and ball juggling refernces are unessecary seeing as how youre tounge seems to be commited to Nas’s anus! Calm youre wack ass down , Im a nas fan to but yeah I said it and Ill say it again …ETHER IS OVERRATED! try not to have palpatations while reading this ….with youre big corny, sensitive ass!


  194. L…

    Get that dirt off your shoulder….

    I felt it was relevant ;)


  195. Jay-Z is a good rapper but def. not the best alive.

    Kanye West

    Nas

    Jay Z

    Eminem

    TI

    IN THAT ORDER!!!

  196. the hobbit

    Big and Jay Z ? Jay Z murked him are you serious? Nas and Jay Z? Jay z murked him are you a retard? Who dethroned this guy? No one… Ether?? LOL Please! This dude fucked his baby moms. Y’all still pulling for Nas…good at the end of the we know who really won the war. Y’all always talking about dead rappers…hint they dont exist anymore. Why y’all hate so hard? I like Nas but he aint the best…KRS-ONE Cosigned JayZ it gets no better than that fuckers. Im laughing at you lames. Billionaire lyrical Hov vs whomever and he wins…period. Next subject. Bitches!!!

  197. CGJ

    That is sooo not a flattering picture of Jay-Z. He gives good interviews though. I think his comments are on point, and he mean no disrespect to anyone


  198. I don’t give a sh*t about non of that Nas and Jay-Z crap. I like both of their style of music and have nothing to say with regard to that. My only question is… Is Jay Z trying to bring the J-5 back or what??? He’s been watching way to much American Gangster and Frank Sinatra movies hint’s the smoker jackets he’s now starting to wear.

  202. kigali (Black Females NEED arranged marriages!!)

    I dont know why everyone always gotta ask Jay about Nas and Nas about Jay. I’m not a fan of Jay. I’ve actually never heard a whole album by him but fuck if Illmatic ( which was a spectacular commercial flop) wasnt one of the dopest albums of all times and definitely the best album of that very innovative era of hip hop history.

    But in terms of which rappers had a greater impact, it was neither Jay Z or Nas. It was by far, by about a million miles the Wu Tang Clan. Tell me the Wu Tang didt revolutionize hip hop? I mean they added another layer of hip hop that, thankfully couldnt even be duplicated.

    Them niggas taught fools how to dress they had brothas speaking a different language. Wu Tang was a big tent organization that allowed so many different emcees to gel together so perfectly. Even when the niggahs split up they was dope. Method Man, Raekwon ( Cuban Link was one of the dopest albums of the 90s) Ghost Face, and ODB? What? In another ten or twenty years, you might have another Jay Z. You might have another Nas. But you will never have another Wu Tang Clan. You will never have another Ol’ Dirty.

    RIP Baby Jesus.

  203. Cage

    Best Rap Group = The Wu….

    never in my life did I listen to music and had to decipher more than half of it, and STILL like it… Only the wu has done that to me…


  204. How about LL

  205. Encyclopedia Brown

    Nikki U.

    I think you’re too smart to work at Bossip, you should work at Crunktastical instead

  206. Cage

    LL is a flat out herb….


  207. yo of course they not gonna put nas up there. but truth b told nas is th ebest mc new york ever had. @ least he spok eon topics and life. jay z spent all his years rapping about hustling and the money he got..if nas was cooler to the media he would be up there. but thats not what hip hop is about. IMO AZ is the best rapper from brooklyn. by far. jay know that az was a monster. thats why he had him in the dead presidents video. az and biggie were @ the table. so fuck mainstream and their standards. nas will always be my fav. lol i remember a few months ago kanye SAID THAT NAS IS THE GREATETS RAPPER EVER. i bet jay was pissed. lmao. it was the truth.

    <<<<<chilling in my beemer listening to ether.hahahaha


  208. jay can smile in as many rich whit emen faces all he wants! it still wont make him #1. lets do a quick comparison.

    ___________________________________________________

    1st 2 albums: nas – illmatic – classic

    it was written – classic

    -vs-

    1st 2 albums: jay – reasonable doubt – classic

    vol.1 – he was wearing oversized sun glasses and loud as yellow suits.(dancing wit puff, kissing puff ass)

  209. WHATEVER!!!!

    I’m not a huge rap music fan and can care less about it. But I agree with Jay’s comment about his private life. It’s none of our business!

    Jigga is a fuckin theater queen — he’s been woefully overrated since ‘hard knock life’ — as if anybody ever had any interest in an ‘annie’ remix – the people who love him & everything he does are boys who admire his swagger more than his skills… – proof? right now some of those same weak minded individuals are talking ’bout lil’ wayne is the king of hip hop. PATHETIC!!!!

    ain’t nobody ever done it like nasty nas, & no one can ignore stillmatic… the reviewer obviously wacks off to the poster of hova that he has taped to his ceiling with his ignorant ass…

    quality not quantity, baby.

    nas is the boss. if you can’t hear it it’s your problem.

    (& wasn’t he supposed to be retiring like three albums ago? – niggas are going to have to shoehorn him out the game – he’s worse than jordan!!!)

    Beyonce knows how to handle conduct herself in public? That was her flashing her pubic area when getting out of that car a while back, wasn’t it? And might I add that that is one of the scariest pics of Jay-Z I’ve ever seen.

  218. So What?

    Those lips are monstrous!

    Well thank you Mr. Brown…

    I will look into this Crunktastical….

    they just lost all hip hop credibility by even asking that lame ass question about Nas.. SMDH…

  221. Jahp

    GROOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!

    that man is so ugly

  222. MEME

    How is Ether overrated?????……. I doubt any of y’all heard Jay’s response to the song on Angie when she played it for him……. that nigga was flabbergasted……. couldn’t get his words together….. even he felt the sting of that record like the audience did……

    And as for Illmatic…… yes…… it may have came out in ‘94….. but that is still one of Hip-Hop’s landmark albums….. aint no denyin’ that……. and Nas has maintained himself as one of Hip-Hop’s Most valuable MC’s…….

    As for the best Hip-Hop Group….. Wu-Tang all day….. then in no specific order….. Tribe, Mobb, Public Enemy, etc….


  223. Hi webmaster!


  224. NAS is a fake pro-black nigga. He went from writin ETHER one the illest battle rhymes in history to standing up for JAYZ every chance he gets. BET tried to give the nigga props and he dissed them. This nigga got bought and spit in the face of HIPHOP. HIPHOP is dead cause of slave niggas like this.


  225. And Kelis made this herb get a mohawk.


  226. And JAY Z hasnt had a real hit since hardknock life. it took reasonable doubt 6 years to go platinum. These jz fans never heard a the nigga till he dropped the wack ass blueprint. MAN both these COONS is WACK.

  227. balaramesh

    jay wrong for not taking up for nas. but hey, that is the argument associated with jay. he only defends jay.
