Quote of the Day: Jay-Z
Posted by Bossip Staff
Jay-Z recently discussed the condition of hip hop and where he plans to go with his album American Gangster:
“When a guy says – and this is definitely no disrespect, because everybody has their place – but when a guy says, ‘I can make a mil saying nothing on a track,’ you know you have reached a bad place. Not only did you think about it, you said it. So, [Hip-Hop] is way past salvaging. So, I’m just gonna do what I do. I’m just gonna go over ‘there’ – way over there. This is why this is what it is. I’m going so far over there.”
“What I really plan to do is shoot [American Gangster, the album] as a movie. Like a better ‘Streets is Watching’. Doing it like a musical. Real stories and get somebody in there that’s [going do to]…real writing. Someone to shoot it like ‘Godfather.’ I know that’s a little ungracious, but that’s how you gotta place it to get somewhere near.”

Get tha ***** ouutta here jay,

wasnt you on the I Get Money remix with your friends Puffy and Fiddy?
stop the hypocrisy
jay is blind to u haters
go head jay, make the music, cuz u still got cl*****ic and can’t *****ody dispute that
You wanna shoot it like a movie ? Sorry that’s what Trapped In The Closet parts 1-473 did before you Homes. Might wanna go do some other unoriginal crap like a remix to Li’l Flips Game Ova. Cause in this case, it’s true.
I was pretty upset when you put that pic. of Snoop and his family. I felt that you were aiming for a negative reaction just for the sake of getting views. But I guess you do try to even it out with certain celebrities. That pic of jay is terrible. I praise him for his honesty regarding “Hip Hop” nicca ain’t really talking about ***** nowadays….Hurricane Chris etc. But why he talking about hip hop he need to claim his son and stop fronting with that hip hop gear and dress more appropriately. He choose not to use a rubber now the jump off got his son. Apparently him and b got all this money okay take care of you son! This is coming from a woman who has no kids and who hates BM so I have no basis…but I hate to see a man not own up to his own.
is he doing this to intentionally coincide with the upcoming Denzel/Russel Crowe film “American Gangster?”
He’s going to make a movie of an album about a movie. Sounds fascinating.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN’T UNDERSTAND 85% OF WHAT HE SAID ??
***** DAT HE ONLY SPEAKIN DA TRUTH, LOOK AT THE STATE OF HIPHOP NOW! I BET SOULJA BOY IS GONNA HAVE THE NUMBER 1 ALBUM. AN CAN SOMEBODY TELL ME WHY SOULJA BOY IS HOT RIGHT NOW? CUZ I STILL DONT SEE WHY. THERE’S ONLY A FEW RAPPER’S IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW THAT HAS SUMTHING 2 SAY, BUT VERY FEW. AND I POINT THE FINGER AT THE ATL THERE THE REASON WHY HIPHOP IS SO *****IN WACK RIGHT NOW. WHAT IS WIT ALL THESE LAME AS **********AZ COMING OUT WITH ALL THIS LOLLY POP RAP. ATL SUCKS AND IT IS THE GAY CAPITAL LOL SO DONT BE SURPRISED IF T.I. COMES OUT WITH A ***** TAPE FEAT. YOUNG JEZZY HAHAHHAHA …AN YEA I SAID IT
Ok but when you do this take off the hot pink satin jacket.
I love him but he looks TERRIBLE in that pic
Yes to Alexa.
He’ll be on the soundtrack.
Not sure if his whole album will be though.
I know the movie will have some good “oldies” in it.
Mayfield, Womack, hopefully the Delfonics….
Geez, I’m only 28 and already craving the oldies.
And a Jodeci comeback……..
I am a dreamer by nature
504, I thought it…you said it!! I love jay and thought it was just me, but I am like WTH is he saying?!?! It’s a tad bit incomprehensible.
BTW, saw an early preview of American Gangsta and it’s awesome!! When it’s released in Nov. I definitely plan to see it again.
That is one ugly, big lipped man!
Jay-Z is a *****in fake and I hope everyone finds out. He was supposed to be beffin with 50 cents & he jumps on a track with him. Nas is signed to Jay-Z & all 50 does is diss N***** and Jay-Z goes & supports someone who disses his own artist. Jay stay your ***** in retirement & corpoprate America like you said. You are old. Just give it up. Jay-Z likes to diss every one else but he is addicted to fame. Please let other rappers shine and stop signing people to shelf them!!! Joe Camel looks horrible. Please Retire.

HOW STUPID ARE THEse RAPPERS???
THE MAFIA HATED BLACK PEOPLE STOP COPYINg them.
hey 504
and why is jay shriveling up!!!!
i like him solid
What the hell did he just say? Nicca ain’t had ***** to say since Reasonable doubt. Ever sine then he been braggin’ about himself – BORING.
I never understood why dudes sang that song “H to the Izzo” – I’m like, you DO realize you are shouting ANOTHER nicca’s name – not yours right? Smh……
OK, WHY DO THESE RAPPERS TALK LIKE THEY NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF EDUCATION IN THEIR LIFE?
I READ WHAT JAY – Z SAID AND I STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT THE ***** HE IS TRYING TO SAY…… ALL THAT MONEY… HE NEED TO HIRE A SPEECH TEACHER!
@ COCO SOUL
Fiddy dissed B and Nas and here this nicca come and do an song with him. It sounds like politics and he spitting a lot of garbage just to get some talk time. Also in the interview he was bitting his tongue.
“When a guy says – and this is definitely no disrespect, because everybody has their place – but when a guy says, ‘I can make a mil saying nothing on a track,’ you know you have reached a bad place.
who was he talking about Be a man and say who is *****ing the game up. He talking sideways and shyt. He needs to go back to being Beyonce little German Sheppard.
He talking about Lil Wayne
he is addicted to fame. Please let other rappers shine and stop signing people to shelf them!!!
——————————————-
So true. I just hope with is big scale “interpretation” of a movie he hires real actors. And doesn’t let his creole skeeo aka Beyonce stink up the screen w/ her bad acting.
@*****CATFUN
@Aphatty
@hiphoper
@504okaay
To all the people that say they don’t understand what Jay said you all are showing your ignorance.
He is say that Rap is in a sad state because rappers feel that they can make a million dollars and have no substance to what they are saying to those who do not know what substance means it means to have no physical reality that can be touched or felt..
@Jus Another Opinion
&
@ COCO SOUL
Why should anyone pay attention to “Fiddy” Jay knows that what he says around album release time is just marketing.
that’s right j! give us something to look forward to rather than the same ole same ole.
and who are you to tell someone to retire? he can be 60 and still making albums if he wanted – contrary to popular belief he really isn’t the oldest one out here – ll, wu, snoop, and a lot of others aren’t spring chickens.
and how is j fake, dummy? he didn’t have any “beef” with 50 – it’s a business and they were all playing their parts. go back to high school and think a little deeper than what is just in front of your face.
@ 504 I thought the same thing. I was like what the hell did he say. I had to read it a few times.
This album is the soundtrack for the movie…the producers asked Jay to record an album inspired by the movie.
@ all the people dissing jay
have u ever bought one of his albums?
To each his/her own, but are stories about so-called gangstas the only ones we have to tell? One would think that the egregious pursuit of bling and booty are the only relevant and interesting things going on in our communities.
@ ole school
according to 90% of our artists it is.
um, isn’t there a REAL American Gangster movie coming out in 2008 w/ Denzel?
You got your nerves jay smh
@college girl
YES AND I CAN NOT WAIT TO SEE IT.
@ coop
thanks for the translation…
Oh so now Denzel’s a Gangsta? A 55 year old Thug? Give me a *****ing break!!!!!!
@ BigJim
I guess that means you won’t be seeing the movie then?
Jay is talkin about how these fake rappers are just makin catchy 1 word phases in songs & gettin paid….MIMS is who he is referring to…..I guess u all were so caught up in singin “this is why Im hot”……u didnt pay attention to the “lyrics”……..and he is telling the truth. Jay raps to the point where you have to really listen to how he is relating one topic into the next all in one flow…………Catch up!!
lol at all this women on here dissing like jay gives a daam about their opinion.u are not his target audience so u can diss him all day long if u want.also u only diss him cos he is beyonces man.
first all if you KNOW ABOUT HIP HOP, THEN YOU COULD TALK ABOUT IT…otherwise shut up, he was talking about MiMs and this is why im hot record…and i dont care if jayz is 90 years old and he rapping as long as he speaking the truth and i have something constructive to listen to…hes damn near right with the hip hop game almost not being saved because the shyt thats on the radio and tv its not even comprehensible to why its there all the time…Shyt im from new york i rather listen to the black album 100 times than to listen to one song of that nicca Kinfolk singing im so crispy…yo east coast had their shine cus thats where hip hop started, then west coast then midwest now the dirty south got it im just waitin for their wack ***** rhymes n songs to be over with its about to be 2008 hopefully that shyt changes cus i cant take no more soulja boy crank that or DJ KHALED WE THE BEST..AAAAAHH

Who’s on Bey level right now? As far as awards, movies, ticket sales, ringtones, clothing line, etc. come on people.

@m.o.b.
I know you not talking to me and all but not everybody is a sell out. Some people do have personal standards. I know it’s rare but it does exist. I’m just saying.
I agree with Aphatty. I was a Jay Z fan until the Hard Knock Life joinf. He got too commercial for me. There are way better rappers than Jay. And as for the ATL comment, so you saying OutKast and Goodie Mob *****ed up the rap game too?
He looks like a bug. And what did he say really???
BOO!!
LISTEN PEOPLE EVEN FABOLOUS SAID NICCAS IS GETTIN IN THE GAME BECAUSE HIP HOP IS STARTIN TO BE LIKE CRACK, ITS LIKE A HUSTLE NOW, THEY FEEDING US GARBAGE TO MAKE PAPER AND ITS LIKE THEY STILL DOIN IT KNOIN NO ONE IS BUYIN THEIR SHYT, WHY WOULD I BUY A WHOLE ALBUM OF SOULJA BOY WHEN I KNOW I CAN JUS DL THE SONG THATS BANGIN I KNO YA PEOPLE HEARD THE NEW SHYT HE GOT SOULA GIRL, MOST OF THE SONG IS WITH A LIGHT SKIN DUDE SINGING…DAMN YA MAKIN ME MAD CAUSE REALLY THIS AINT NO ARGUMENT, YA TALKIN ABOUT OUTKAST AND GOODIE MOB THEY GOOD BUT MAJORITY IS THAT WEST AND EAST COAST IS NICE, EVEN OUTKAST KNOW THE TRUTH, WHERES ANDRE 300?

ENGAGED TO BEYONCES UGLY DRAG QUEEN LOOKING *****
man i been saying it for a while now hip hop been going to hell since everybody been getting crunk……YEEEAAAAAAAAA
the music that gets the most radio play is bs. sad but true. but y’all would record that same nonsense for a few more “zeros” in your bank account, so dont be mad at these *****s for doing it… and @ vanessa
once again your dreams wont come true, sorry. because while us fans wanna know who the best is, the artists themselves care more about the money rather than our opinion.. so that aint gonna happen unless they find a gagillonaire to pay those money hungry rappers for their time and effort…
@ Vanessa
I feel you. It’s like what T.I. said on “Hip Hop vs America” BET doesn’t want them to do the right thing b/c that’s not what makes money. If people came out talking about ‘love each other, women cover up, and black men get a job and stop selling dope’ they wouldn’t sell. They are putting out what people want. To touch on the down loading thing; there is really no point in making albums anyway. The is so much piracy that I don’t see how they are making any money.
Anyone who a. loves hip hop and b. is in their 30s is pretty fed up and really is a little depressed about the state of hip hip. We remember better, deeper and more meaningful lyrics and colder beats.
@and
so u wouldnt crank that soulja boy for a mil? lmao cuz i would. then i would apologize to the true hip hop fans.
coop
SO I GUESS YOUR MISSION IN LIFE IS FORFILLED
bottom line the consumers (US) have the power. Do you know how many business have gone bankrupt b/c people wouldn’t buy their product? WE have the power. They will give us what we want b/c they want our money, POINT BLANK. Don’t support it and they will change it.
@m.o.b.
1. If someone said hey I’ll give you 1mill to dance You betta believe I’ll do it.
2. I’m not in the public eye and I’m not producing trash and feeding it to people.
3. I’m just saying that the state of hip hop reflects us not them. If people did not support it they would not make it.
Kensington-i not in my 30 and i’m fed up with the ish. hell i’m not even 25, but i believe hip hop has gone to the dogs.
if i gotta here another damn “rapper” telling how do some damn made up dance, i’mma start listening to punk rock…krs-1 said it best rappers spit ryhmes that are mostly illegal, emcee’s spit ryhmes to uplift they peoples. and we have none of that going on any more
faw – close yo gap fool
THATS WHAT IM SAYING IF PEOPLE WAS REAL SERIOUS AND WANT THINGS DONE IT COULD HAPPEN!! IT COULD HAPPEN SOMEONE IN THE BACK TRULY CARES AND WENT ON BEFORE THE SHOW ENDED AND WAS LIKE AY YO DO THIS EVEN IF NICCAS GOTTA PAY YA BUT THE FANS WANNA C IT OR HELL IF I WAS THOSE CONTEST WINNERS THAT GOT TO PRESENT I WOULDA SAID MY PIECE RIGHT THERE… IF JAYZ WENT UP TO WEEZY AT THE AWARD SHOW AND IT WAS LIKE AY YO SON I WANNA BATTLE AND IF WEEZY TURNED IT, I WOULD ONLY THINK OF ONE THING WHICH IS HE KNOW HE WOULD LOSE BECAUSE PEOPLE DOWN THERE TALKING MAD SHYT IM THE KING, IM THE NEW JAYZ OF THE SOUTH, BLAH BLAH… YOU SHOULD PROVE IT TO THE WORLD, YOU CAN UR OWN ARTIST BUT DONT WALK AROUND SAYIN U THE NEW JAYZ, SHYT…I WANNA C U BATTLE UR SO CALLED COUNTERPART NICCA… AT THE T.I. COMMENT @ AND…IT HAS TO START SOMEWHERE JUS LIKE HOW D4L CAME OUT AND RUINED OUR SHYT WITH LAFFY TAFFY SOMEONE CAN COME OUT AND CHANGE IT N BRING IT BACK
jay is a big part of why hip hop is in the state its in. he was one of the hottest rappers in the late 90s/early 00s and thats when he was flossin harder than ever. now these younger cats are following in his footsteps but just more ice, bigger rims and more *****es than what he had. so jay cant get mad, he made his bed… y’all know the rest.
oh heck naw u can’ts be blaming jay for the state hip hop is in….r u serious???
Pure Hypocrisy! It was ok when you was doingit made you a multi-millonare now you have the audacity.NI**A Please.
Blaming Jay for the state of hip hop is like blaming Run DMC. Like I said WE have the power we just don’t use it right.
SHYT IM NOT IN MY 30S AND I KNOW ITS A WASTE, IM IN COLLEGE AND WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL WHEN CRUNK AND ALL THAT SHYT CAME OUT N DESTROYED IT, IM NOT GONNA LIE WHEN THEY PLAYED LAFFY TAFFY AT SCHOOL PARTIES NICCAS WAS DOING THE DANCE, THEY WAS HAVING FUN, BUT THAT WAS 4,5 YEARS AGO, WHY ON EARTH WOULD RAPPERS PUT ME THROUGH SO MUCH TELEVISION N RADIO TORTURE, YO I REALLY COMMEND KANYE NEW ALBUM CUS THE BIG BROTHER SHYT, THATS WHAT I WANNA HEAR, I WANNA HEAR AN ARTIST TALKIN ABOUT HOW MUCH LOVE HE HAS FOR SOMEONE HE CALLS HIS BROTHER, I DONT HEAR KANYEEZY TALKING ABOUT HEY LETS DO THE 2 STEP….GO COP THAT GRADUATION OR DL IT LOL
m.o.b baby u needs more people
@ Vanessa
You right. There is nothing wrong with having a dance song cuz i’m not always in the mood for something deep. Sometimes I just wanna dance but 95% is like that, bs and nothing else. We need to reverse it. More substance and less bs.
@ bahama mama
u gotta blame jay. he was the biggest rapper in the game back then. after reasonable doubt, slowly but surely, he became more and more commercial just to get paid. im not sayin he wrong for that cuz i woulda did it too, but he played a big part in the commercialization of hip-hop/rap…
ONE MORE THING U CANT REALLY BLAME JAYZ FOR THA WHOLE HIP HOP THING BECAUSE LOOK AT DIDDY WITH ALL HIS ONE HIT WONDERS N 1 MILLION DOLLAR VIDEOS, BUT MY POINT IS IN THE 90S GOIN ONTO THE MILLENIUM THERE WAS A BALANCE, U GOT THE SHYT WHERE U BUMP IN UR RIDE LIKE “BIG BIMPIN, SPENDIN CHEESE” THEN YOU GOT THE SHYT, THEN U GOT THE WU TANG CLAN, U HAD BONE THUGS N HARMONY MO MURDA ( LISTEN TO THAT ) ( EVEN THEM IS RESULTING TO THE LOWERST TO SELL ), YOU HAD ICE CUBE, TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY ( LISTEN TO THAT ) IM TELLIN U IM A HIP HOP AND RNB FEIN, YA CANT FU*K WITH ME ON THAT, I MAY BE 20 YEARS OLD BUT IVE LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE MY CDS ON ALL NITE TO LISTEN TO MY DEEP SHYT N TALK ABOUT HOW REAL NICCAS IS…
I blame Jay-Z. This man makes songs like Big Pimpin’ going to knock someone for their stupid lyrics. Like, really? When you have an album that is inspirational and does not use the word ***** or *****, please come talk to me then.
You can’t have an album called AMERICAN GANGSTER, which I know is based on a movie, and then be upset with the state of hip hop.
You’re 40, you bore me, sit down!
Okay, I like Jigga(and I’m a Cali-girl– yeah!!) but what was that last part that he was “trying” to say??? That shiit didn’t make any since at all. And I like to think that I’m up on my rap game.
Sounded like bull***** to me.
@ M.O.B U CANT BLAME HIM CAUSE JAYZ COULD BE ON 1 4 DEUCE (142 ST TIMES SQ ) SPITTIN SHYT ON THOSE METAL DRUMS THINGS CARRIBEANS BE PLAYIN TO AND U KNO HE WOULD SAY SOMETHIN TUFF, YOU KNO HE WOULD HAVE A MORE MELLOW WEED OUT VIBE TYPE OF BEAT U KNO HE WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING TUFF IT DONT MATTER HE MAD MONEY IN THE VIDEO ETC AS LONG HE SAYIN TUFF N NO ONE CANT FU*CK WITH IT, HES THAT NICCA IN MY BOOK AND ITS LIKE AMERICAN GANGSTA SOME OF HIS SHYT IS ON THE RADIO NOW AND I HAVE TO SAY IM FEELIN IT CAUSE ITS HIM SPITTIN THERES NO HEAVY BEATS OVERCROWDING HIS TALENT ON THE MIC (LISTEN TO IT ON THA RADIO WHEN IT COME ON)
m.o.b – i guess that what success is called commercialization. But to blame him for the downfall of hip-hop when u got lil john talking bout skeeting on ppl? and soulja talking bout supasoakin a hoe? try a again, i’ll take jay being commercial but staying tru to emceein than those fool puttin words together
Bahama Mama
^^^^^^^^
shut the hell up *****
dez nuts – how bout u put u put ur nuts in ur mouth nicca
Coop, thanks for breaking it down!! Whew, glad somebody got it.
Big Jim, c’mon, stop acting like a jealous “itch”. Denzel maybe 50 plus, but in that movie, the man looks good enough to eat, literally and figuratively!! *fans self* Oh, plus his acting in amazing.
@ PERSONA U GETTIN ON MY NERVES CUS ITS LIKE U DONT KNO MUSIC, IT HAS TO BE A BALANCE I SAID!! WHY WOULD JAYZ MAKE A 12 -17 SONG ALBUM WITH EVERYTHING SOUNDING THE SAME IF U WANT IT LIKE THAT GO COP T.I. VS T.I.P SHYT, Y U SINGLING HIM OUT CUS DUDE MADE BIG PIMPIN, SO WHAT HE MADE US SOMETHING WE CAN LISTEN TO THE WHIP GOIN TO GET SUMTHING TO EAT BUT HE DEFINITELY HAS OTHER SHYT AND U KNO THIS SO UR ARGUMENT CANNOT CONCURR WITH THE TRUTH HOW WOULD U FEEL SHORTY CAME UP TO U WHEN U WAS 40 AND SHE AINT WANNA HOP THAT? SO STOP TRYNA FIND AN ARGUMENT CUS THERE AINT ONE
Damn yall…is Jay-z or Soulja boy paying your child support money????
Why so angry???
Listen we all know rap is pretty much a hot piece of mess now..but guess what..Jay-z is the position now where he can fix things..question is..is he?
Maybe thats why LL is *****ed off at him..hes suppose to be the head honcho at one of the biggest labels and all he’s doing is talking about what hes doing in the game…ummmm…didnt your ***** retire since 19when??? If he dont like the way it is..put out people who are doing something different besides supermanning hoes or popping and locking…
I love Jay-z..bk all day every day..but..Mr. Jova needs to put down the mic and help those who can change the outcome of the sad state of hip hop
Okay, I like Jigga(and I’m a Cali-girl– yeah!!) but what was that last part that he was “trying” to say??? That shiit didn’t make any since at all. And I like to think that I’m up on my rap game.

yyyyyyyyyep
@vanessa
ummm if were trying to say that jay can spit, everybody knows that. but jay cant get mad about whats comin out these rappers’ mouths if he is their so-called inspiration. and now hes doin interviews talkin like (in a old man voice) “these young thundercats is makin garbage. talkin bout how big their rims, houses, and chains are.” when he was doin the same thing 6 years ago. now he gettin older and he’s witnessing the nonsense gettin spewed all over the radio. so he cant get mad for the state its cuz he contributed to the destruction. the *****s that was spittin ***** wit “substance” wasnt gettin any shine.
co-sign with Fat boy
thats the honest truth!! the mafia NEVER liked black people, do I dont understand why all these rappers want to PRETEND that they are in the mafia. lol
its quite laughable. those gangsters lived that life in reality and these dum rappers are imagining it in the studio.
pathetic at its best.
Damn I am tired of these J-***** riders (Coop)stinking up the blog. This is tiresome. Let people voice their negative opionions. Just cause you like Jay don’t mean we have to.
Speaking of Im a fan of Stephon Marbury. When he made those comments regarding Mike Vick and the sexual harr*****ment against Isiah Thomas I was the first person to criticize him. And the last person to criticize others for voicing their opinion. I am a fan but I am not his wife or sister. People had mean ***** to say and I didn’t say shyt cause they are entitlied to an opinion and like and dislike whoever they choose….so let it be Jay can hold his own *****.
Bahama Mama every body on this web site knows ur a ghetto hood rat with no money
sorry nutz, i only *****s with men not boys
I am in my 30’s. Hell, to shame the devil and tell the truth, I am in my LATE 30’s, I remember when hip hop started. I remember dancing and getting educated listening to BDP, PE, Brand Nubian,. I remember the original battles, MC Shan and KRS1, LL and Kool Moe Dee, when NWA dropped Gangsta Gangsta, and what about Ice T with “6 in the morning, police at my door….” Hip Hop isn’t dead yet…however it is on life support and they got some random nicca tryin to pull the plug on it. Jay-Z is a lyricist, he has skills, he is one of the best, but is still behind the true masters such as Rakim, Meth, Redman, Chubb Rock, KRS1, Chuck, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Biggie, Pac and I could go on and on. My daughters came in the house singing ” my lipgloss is cool, my lipgloss is poppin’” and I was like “WTF???” I sat them down, pulled out the tapes, yeah I said it….tapes, and gave them an Old School lesson on the spot! Guess what they are rhyming now? ” Thinking of a master plan, ain’t nothin’ but sweat inside my hand, So I dig into my pocket, all my money is spent
So I dig deeper but still comin up with lint
So I start my mission- leave my residence
Thinkin how could I get some dead presidents
I need money, I used to be a stick-up kid
So I think of all the devious things I did
I used to roll up, this is a hold up, ain’t nuthin funny
Stop smiling, be still, don’t nuthin move but the money
But now I learned to earn cos I’m righteous
I feel great! so maybe I might just
Search for a 9 to 5, if I strive
Then maybe I’ll stay alive
So I walk up the street whistlin this
Feelin out of place cos, man, do I miss
A pen and a paper, a stereo, a tape of
Me and eric b, and a nice big plate of
Fish, which is my favorite dish
But without no money it’s still a wish
Cos I don’t like to dream about gettin paid
So I dig into the books of the rhymes that I made
To now test to see if I got pull
Hit the studio, cos I’m paid in full
We need to get back to REAL hip hop, when you would spend hours learning the words, feeling the rhyme and not learning the next dance that looks crazy as hell. Don’t get me started on the dances….yes indeed…when we got off the floor, after one song, we were wore out, now…*****, I can do that snappin’, walk it out and superman without spilling my drink!! Boring!!!

@Vanessa, IM FROM THE SOUTH BUT I WOULD BUY ANY NY RAPPER’S CD BE4 I BUY THE BULL***** DATS COMING OUT MY TURF RIGHT NOW, DATS SAD I KNOW, SO IN OTHER WORDS U SPOKE THE TRUTH, AN I WISH PEOPLE WILL GET OFF T.I. ***** DAT ***** IS ONE OF THE FAKEST CATS IN THE GAME RIGHT NOW. AN ITS REAL SAD PEOPLE CANT RECOGNIZE REAL FROM FAKE ANYMO.
What is more upsetting is the fact that they (nelly-ugh, T.I.-kinda like and Jay ugh) all talk about the “street life” On the real you nicca’s moved out of the hood and ain’t been back since. That’s like me moving from the surburbs then moving to the hood and rap about life in the surburds. Hell that life is over with. Stop frontin and acting like you down with the “people”. “all while flying jets, swimming in the ocean in St. Tropez living in the surburbs,kids attend private school. You talking about how “down” you are where the ***** are you when Jena 6 is on trial, when kids don’t are getting shot momma or daddy smoking dope. Dope that these rappers brag about selling. When do these nicca help put they people.I rarely see these nicca helping the neighbor except some local chariyt work whe they want to get they name in the paper for publicity. These nicca is pimping the hood and finally people are realizing this ***** and calling you out on it. There is more ***** to worry about then shooting guns and pimping jumpoffs. Start taking care of you kids and clean up hip hop instead of complaning what other cats in the game is doing.
@Jus Another Opinion, AINT *****ODY RIDIN JAY-Z ***** IT’S JUST THA DAMN TRUTH. AN I BET U THINK SOULJA BOY, D4L,& CRIME MOB ARE THE BEST RAPPERS IN THE GAME 2DAY DONT CHA?.
Why in the hell do yall keep putting up hip hop topics on this site for these dumb *****s yall call bloggers….None of these dumb *****s even know what he’s talking about…If you didn’t understand what he was saying then you old ***** shouldn’t be reading it…What he said made perfect sense…Aint nothing fake or phoney about it…
STOP TALKING ABOUT HIP HOP TO THESE IDIOTS…THEY ARE NOT HIPHOP FANS…ASK THESE *****ES ABOUT HAND BAGS AND ***** LIKE THAT, OR WHO WOULD THEY HIT…THATS ALL!!!!
And for the dumb w***** who said he was basicly biting off of Trapped in the CLoset…Jay did “The Streets is Watching” in like 97 dummy..He said he was gonna make American Gangster like he did that one but only better…Stop making fools out of yourselves…
not that i don’t think it’s important, but what does taking care of his kid(if it is) have to do with his job? is it gonna help him do it any better or be any worse at it??? so stop using that as an excuse
@ YEAH I SAID IT YEAH IM FEELIN U SON CAUSE HOW U SOUND TRYNA BE GANGSTA N U AT CONCERTS BEATIN UP THE FANS THAT SHYT IS IRREVELANT, U DESERVED TO GET A CUP THROWN AT U FOR THE GARBAGE HE PUT OUT, SHYT IM FROM THE HOOD, IM BLACK N DOMINICAN, EVERYTHING ABOUT ME IS IF U ARE A G, ACT LIKE ONE DONT TALK THAT SHYT AND WALK ANOTHER WAY, GS HAVE SWAGGERS THAT DONT NEED ALL THAT BS HE DOES, HES FAKE N YALL KNO IT TOO
THEY WAY THESE FOOL BE MAKE ME WANT MY BOOTLEG MONEY BACK…LOL
^^^^^honey if you read my earlier post you will see that I said Hurricane Chris and other like him are garbage. As far as Soulja boy the on the fence. The message is terrible but it’s a catchy ***** song. Honey don’t make it seem like Im bought these nicca albums. I do what the other bogger said and DL a song that is hot. And as far as Crime Mob the females in the group can flow.
That message was for Yes I said it.
i dont know…i feel as if jay is just being a little hypocritical…i mean his two biggest hits were not of great substance “big pimpin” and “give it to me” and he should not “knock any one’s hustle” (as he would even say)
yes, i am a jay fan, and i think he brings lyricism in the game but he should not knock these young dudes and their raps…if anything he should try and be a mentor or something…
i feel that when Common and Kanye’s album can both debut at #1, then hip hop is not in that bad of a state…
@Bahama Mama read some of what Vanessa said.
My point was basically that these “supposely” real niccas spitting this shyt and walking the other way.
As far as the kid, he’s 40yrs old. He argues about irrevelant shyt. He was arguing about the Champaign Cristol I think it was. His arguement was *****ody should drink it becasue the “makers” made a racist comment. Okay what about real *****, I feel like im on a VH! show Where are that at? Was this nicca arguing for the Jenna six???Did he speak up at the Hip Hop vs America where was Jay,. My thing you made yo money. He got drama of his own and ain’t stepping up to the plate he need to claim that kid he got that is all I was saying.
Well Got Damn Bossip readers – this is my first time on Bossip and y’all are *****in’ hilarious. I love celeb gossip but ain’t none of them worth getting worked up over! Damn y’all up in here hatin and rippin’ new ones over ***** f*cka’s that don’t give a d@mn about none of us unless we buying their joints. Creators of Bossip sittin’ back get a good laugh. Why even create the mind*****e to even give a d@mn about what Jay has to say from what I’m reading most of you want him to go crawl back under a d@mn rock anyway and probably will not by sh*t he sells so understanding him really isn’t an issue since you will not be tuning in to see what the f*ck he was tryin’ to say in the first place. Geeze people – it use to be fly to be famous but after one day on bossip I am so f*ckin’ glad I’m not famous cause y’all (_l_)’s is ruthless as f*ck. Y’all will love a nicca one minute then hate his/her @ss to death the next.
First Jay does look gaunt as hell….U would think that tackhead ***** would feed her man…Hell her ***** getting big she needs to start feeding him what she eating
Secondly its crazy how some of ya’ll are really telling Jay to sit down because he is “getting old.” His age changes not his swag…. Yes we know his last cd was not the greatest compared to other albums he has…But if ya’ll was listening to lyrics and not the beat and the b***** of the music you would see that Jay still got that fire….
Now-a-days people are getting caught up in beats and ***** and catchy hooks and is not taking in the content, metaphors, and stories of the song….That’s why most artists now don’t have longevity because their smash hits can’t be backed up with other smash hits….
Jay said it right…Just like Nas…Hip Hop is dead….And it don’t matter where your from….Somebody needs to revive this ***** with something meaningful and not because your getting paid…
Anyways…Good Day!
well andreana, as a bossip reg. i’d like to welcome u to the madness that is bossip. And trust me when i say that this just the tip of the iceberg, hope we didn’t scare u off
WHAT MAKES ME MAD IS THAT YA NOT TRYNA PETITION MY IDEA YA WANNA TALK ABOUT JAYZ AND HIS BIG PIMPIN SONG OKAY W/E HE PROLLY WASNT ON HIP HOP VS AMERICA CAUSE BET IS SHYT NOW BUT THEY KNO HES THE MAN SO THEY KEEP NOMINATIN EVEN WHEN HE DONT HAVE NUTTIN OUT LOL N IT WAS SHYT CUS THE MODERATR DIDNT EVEN ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS BUT ENUFF ABOUT HIM HE AINT THE ONLY NICCA IN HIP HOP YA DIGG DAMN U HATIN ON ONE NICCA FALL BACK MY DUDE BUT TAKE EVERYTHIN I SAID IN STRIDE CUSE THIS SHYT IS IMPORTANT N YALL KNO IM RIGHT
I do agreee with that part the host didn’t not ask the right question. They should have let the audience speak. Had I been in that audience oh BET would have aired on another channel. I would have sopken up and out. Nelly who once was hot. Had the nerve to down play Tip Drill. Not only was it a bad video let’s be real it was a bad song. The song had no substance and was plain tacky. The only thing he said prevelant was that fact that women get overlooked for the shyt they do. The women who was in that video had just as much responsiblity as he did. Typical woman, doing the dirty work for a man. Trying to be “cool” and end uplooking like a fool.
Did he forget that American Gangster is already a movie? Isn’t that where he got the idea? Jay, there’s a thin line between bein inspired and straight up bitin… be careful, man…
But on the real though, he’s right about the current state of hip-hop. Its pretty wack right now. You still got a few MCs doin they thing though: Lupe, Nas, Talib, Common, Lil Wayne… damn, is that it? Aw hell, f*ck it i’ll throw him in, Kanye West too… Lol, but wat im sayin though is everybody just making songs to get played in the clubs, none of them are saying anything in the song. Half these dudes can’t even rap. Just because the words rhyme, doesn’t make it good. Hip Hop sales are down almost 20% in sales from last year, and yeah Kanye sold almost 1mil in his first week, but he barely sold a third of that the second week. And he can’t do it all by himself, People gettin tired of the same songs just chopped up and re-released. They dance to it in the clubs, but they’re NOT BUYING IT…
Aight, im done with my little rant…
Thank you pistons. Jay was one of the first to pollute the game with this braggin hustle and flow. Yeah diddy did it, but noone really considers diddy a rapper.
Doesn’t he do this?
BOSSIP, time for some new stories…thx.
Andreana..i said the same ish
why everyone getting worked up over some dude with crazy money..unless someone is here is gold lame wearing beyonce..we really shouldnt be too concerned of J to the Z
Jay-Z is alright I respect the brother, but he don’t take care of his own he’s got a brother in Rochester, NY who is broke as ever. Dude is slinging weed on the block. Name is E-Z. They are really brothers but you never hear Jay mention him at all. Jay give yah brother a god damn job………………

PLEASE GO BACK TO THE OLD FORMAT???
PRETTY PLEASE..WITH SUGAR ON TOP:)
Damn I never seen so many haters in my life. No wonder Jay and Bey are so rich and famous it’s the haters that made them that way by having their names in their mouths. It’s when they’re not talking is when u need to be worried. At the end of the day Jay is getting his paper so I’m sure he don’t give a *****. He’s dating the hottest chick in the game who has a great body and he has 300 mill in da bank. I bet they be having sex on all that money. So see it don’t matter what anyone thinks b/c as long as he got his ***** and his money he good. He don’t have to sell another c.d for the rest of his life.
O
THATS SO SWEET,,
SORRY YOUR CHECK AINT IN THE MAIL
@m.o.b.
Do you really believe sh*t that you say?
Yes the guys like MIMs and Soulja Boy are getting a little money but they are not getting any real money. There’s a video on youtube where Busta talks about how rappers were getting 4 million album for promotion alone. Soulja Boy and the rest of these guy aren’t getting 50/50 ventures. Ruff Rider, Inc., G-Unit, Cash Money, No Limit, Roc-a-Fella were getting real deals that could set guys up for life. Do you even understand the music biz?
I don’t think no one here is toally putting it all on(grandpa) shoulders but he had a hand in it.
He wasn’t being all that damm poltical when he was makining money of the same ***** he holding everyone in account for .JAY IS SO “FULL OF *****”
Jay-Z’s a hypocrite, he needs to shut the hell up.
WHAT!!!!!!!!!!in the words of Lil JON!
Coop the day’s of the “Master P’s are all gone where a dude was pushing a lot of units out of his car.NOw if a dude get somthing like that these days he is bless
@Jus Another Opinion
Yes he spoke about the Champaign Cristol the CEO was totally wrong and he should have been called out or do you feel he should have been given a p***** because it was just “Champaign”? I don’t know what he has done for the Jena 6 but I do know that he and puffy both gave large amount of money in order to help ($1,000,000 ea) And after that he made a song where he criticizes himself on the song minority report saying that he did not do enough that he should have been more hands on. When is the last time Cosby, Oprah, Sharpton or any other “Leader” has ever questioned themselves?
“Minority Report”
(feat. Ne-Yo)
[Intro: News Excerpts]
The damage here along the gulf coast is catastrophic.
There’s a frantic effort under way tonight to find
survivors. There are an uncounted number of the dead tonight…
People are being forced to live like animals…
We are desperate…
No one says the federal government is doing a good job..
And hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people…
No water, I fought my country for years..
We need help, we really need help..
In Baghdad, they they drop, they air drop water, food to people..why cant they do that to their own people?
The same idiots that can’t get water into a major American city in less than three days are trying to
win a war…
[Verse 1 - Jay-Z]
People was poor before the hurricane came
But the down pour poured is like when Mary J. sang
Every day it rains, so every day the pain
But ignored them, and showed em the risk was to blame
For life is a chain, cause and effected
*****s off the chain because they affected
It’s a dirty game so whatever is effective
From weed to selling kane, gotta put that in effect
Wouldn’t you loot, if you didn’t have the loot?
Baby needed food and you stuck on the roof
Helicopter swooped down just to get a scoop
Through his telescopic lens but he didn’t scoop you
The next five days, no help ensued
They called you a refugee because you seek refuge
The commander-in-chief just flew by
Did he stop? No, he had a couple seats
Just proved jet blue he’s not
Jet flew by the spot
What if he ran out of jet fuel and just dropped
hu,That woulda been something to watch
Helicopters doing fly-bys to take a couple of shots
Couple of portraits then ignored ‘em
He’d be just another bush surrounded by a couple orchids
Poor kids just ’cause they were poor kids
Left ‘em on they porches same old story in New Orleans
Silly rappers, because we got a couple Porches
MTV stopped by to film our fortresses
We forget the unfortunate
Sure I ponied up a mill, but I didn’t give my time
So in reality I didn’t give a dime, or a damn
I just put my monies in the hands of the same people that left my people stranded
Nothin’ but a bandit
Left them folks abandoned
Damn, that money that we gave was just a band-aid
Can’t say we better off than we was before
In synopsis this is my minority report
Can’t say we better off than we was before
In synopsis this is my minority report
[Verse 2 - Ne-Yo]
So many times I’m, covering my eyes
Peeking through my fingers
Tryin’ to hide my, frustration at the way that we treat
(Seems like we don’t even care)
Turn on the TV, seein’ the pain
Sayin’ such a shame
Then tryin’ to go on with my life
Of that, I too, am guilty
(Seems like we don’t even care)
So we send a lil’ money, tell ‘em it’s alright
To be able to sleep at night
You will pay that price
While some of these folks’ lost their whole life
(Seems like we don’t even care)
Now it wasn’t on the nightly news no more
Suddenly it didn’t matter to you no more
In the end almost nothing changed
What the hell, what was that for?
(Seems like we don’t even care)
[Outro: News Excerpts]
…Buses are on the way to take those people from New Orleans to Houston
…They lyin’
…People are dying at the convention center
…Their government has failed them
…George Bush doesn’t care about black people
DAMN WHEN I DONT SAY A COMMENT YA PEOPLE LOSE FOCUS ON THE MAIN ISSUE AT HAND YA DONT KNOW WHAT YA TALKING ABOUT BUT W/E IMMA SPREAD THE WORD THAT NICCAS HAVE TO THE FREESTYLE AT HIP HOP AWARDS YA DIGG YA TOO FOCUSED ON ONE INDIVIDUAL N A COUPLE OF SONGS HE DID THE MAIN ISSUE IS SAVE HIP HOP AND YA NOT EVEN TRYNA CONSIDER THAT
@Jus Another Opinion
Forgot to tell you to not believe all the gossip
He has been on the radio and said that is not his son point blank and that it was a shame that anyone was using a child to make headlines. One magazine even said that they would have indisputable evidence that was his son well that never happened but I bet they sold more subscriptions.
Jigga needs to fall back! The Mims lyric that he is referring to “I can make a mil saying nothing on a track,” is about ghost writing for other artist. Its ironic that Jay would have anything against that considering how much ghostwriting he has done throughout his career. And as for how materialistic hip hop has become, once again Jay needs not say anything since it was he along with Diddy, Biggie and other 90s rapper who started the whole rapping about the platinum lifestyle to begin with. He needs to stop!
@lucky
Yes he had some party songs but even his party songs were more lyrical then the stuff out that people are trying to compare if catalog to today The songs that are destroying hip hop people are not going to want to listen 5 years from now but Jay, BIG, NAS, and other music is still played in the club today.
MIMS IS THE SH*TTIEST RAPPER OUT THERE, ALMOST AS BAD AS THE DOWN SOUTH CLOWNS!!! WATCH MY FEET YOU RETARDS!!
@ loveyoulongtyme
I’m sorry Mims is not good enough to ghostwrite
this hip hop is dead message is so prevelant
these days & not only from j z
i wonder if they are trying to tell us something …
after i watched this:
i couldn’t give a f**k!
@Coop
Just stop it you trying to explain it makes it even worse. How supid do you sound right about now. You typing the whole damn trying to “prove me wrong” actually proved my point” He didn’t do enough you said it yo self which is pretty much the base of my arguement. As far as Oprah she did build a $250 million school whcih you choose not to acknowledge. Puffy and Jay are worth 800 million togehter and all they donated was 1,000,000 each how pathetic. Puffy spend more than that on child support alone. At the end of the day If you are a Jay fan okay…but respect other opinion. Maybe you didn’t read my earler post, I am a big fan of Starbury but when the ***** hit the fan in the sexual harr*****ment case I was the first to jump on him and the last to jump on others for speaking their mind. Im still a fan of his but I can acknowledge when he does something wrong. Learn something son!
As far as the kid. If I am not to beleive all the gossip so say then why should I beleive you???? That kid had on a yankees cap and mandles. That kid is all the way in the islands what in the hell does he know about NYC at 5yrs old. If that is the case why not wear a KC hat. Just cause that nicca denied that kid don’t mean it’s true celebrites deny ***** all the time. It’s part of the game. Diddy was denying that jumpoff kid’s at first and now he is paying up. So what does that tell you. Also jay can’t get his ***** straight anyway didn’t he say he was retiring???What in the hell is he doing now???You can’t beleve everything he say??? For that him and B make a good couple both are *****ing liars.
I USUALLY DONT SIDE WITH JAY BUT DAT IS A GOOD ***** QUOTE N MIMS SPIT DAT I NEVA REALLY TRIPPED BUT JA IS RIGHT
http://WWW.MY*****E.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC
NUTHIN BUT SLAPS
WTF is he wearing? And if you are gonna lash at Weezy, dont preface that by saying “no disrespect.” I dont even listen to that much rap an d I know who you referring to, Jay.
And he looks homo in that outfit with his stance and all.
@coop
they gettin more money than u and me, and that is what i was refering to. u woulda put out the same lame bs to put yourself in a better situation so dont hate on Soulja Boy, Kinfolk,and Mims for that. my focus was on jay, cuz he played a big part in the way hip-hop has changed. and now he’s tryna shoot it down(smh(… anyway, record labels found out that they can make more money by puttin out a lot of one-hit wonders rather than focusing their label on a few big artists, go figure… and coop, stfu talkin like u in the music biz *****. u a blogger, so blog.
@Jus Another Opinion
LMAO
Talking about proving a point for someone Harpo spent 250 million on a school in another country. As Ice Cube said “You said free South Africa but you ain’t got to do good in America. Harpo bashes Hip Hop but puts Superhead on her show to promote her book. Talking about how stupid do you sound. LOL Do you even have any idea of how much other stuff these guys do like the last presidential election how much work Puffy did trying to get people to vote and then when Kerry lost seeing him look like he was ready to break down. I pointed out how the man questioned himself about Katrina that is the true sign of a leader he did not have to do that he could have simply went on popped more bottles and not said a thing. You wanted to bring up Oprah. LOL That woman has town hall meetings bashing Hip Hop but won’t have any the people on that she’s bashing so that they can speak for themselves. What is she afraid of she’s Harpo. What really going on is her actions make her look better to her audience she cares nothing about real issues.
@Jus Another Opinion
You should listen to the song at the end of this interview with the rapper Killer Mike. He’s the kind of rapper Harpo and others won’t put on there shows because they might make a good point.
http://www.maximumfun.org/blog/2006/10/podcast-grind-time-with-killer-mike.html
@m.o.b.
For that case I would get up and be like the Hammer back in the day, but that still does not make it good music and for that case it does not make them the level of entertainer that Hammer was.
P.S. Stop drinking that hater-aid.

To all the people that say they don’t understand what Jay said you all are showing your ignorance.
^^^
FIRST OF ALL I WAS EXAGGERATING BUT THNX FOR BREAKING IT DOWN. I DID HOWEVER GOT THOSE 2 POINTS OF THE STATEMENT BUT THE REST OF IT WAS PURE EBONICS….EXCUSE ME FOR NOT UNDERSTANDING THIS :
“So, I’m just gonna do what I do. I’m just gonna go over ‘there’ – way over there. This is why this is what it is. I’m going so far over there.”
THERE WAS DEFINITELY NO NEED TO CALL ME OR ANY OTHERS (MENTIONED ABOVE) IGNORANT. DIDN’T MAKE A IGNORANT STATEMENT, JUST WONDERED IF I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DIDN’T UNDERSTAND IT. I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER FOR COMPLETELY UNDERSTANDING THAT JIBBERISH. PEACE !
JJ
He’s going to make a movie of an album about a movie. Sounds fascinating.
^^LOL!
I guess this is the marketing ploy of all marketing ploys.
@504okaay
I’m sorry I think the confusion is because of how bossip put up the statements. The complete interview comes across better.
I think he’s just saying that he’s going to do Hip Hop the way he feels it should be.
Jay has had numerous lyrics that were counter connected his wealth. Now that someone opposed TO him says something about money and wealth, they are killing HIP HOP?
Joe Camel is crazzzzzzzzy!
***** Gay-Z! He’s an old punk ***** ***** who should of stayed retired. He messed the game up by coming back. He belongs with Beyonce cause they both full of *****.
@Schick
It’s not always what you say but how you say it.
@coop…
i completely agree with him. i am however guilty of enjoying some of the “dance” rap cause sometimes i need to have fun & yes it’s rap & not hip hop. but i also would rather listen to the hip hop & rap from the 80’s & early 90’s. the “fun rap” is getting more ignorant by the second & it’s becoming all the same. that damn superman song sounds like a lil 3 year old with a teenager’s voice…babytalk….i had to goggle the lyrics b/c i was curious as to what the eff he was saying. i used to know all the words to the latest songs but i don’t take the time to learn them because the lyrics are stupid. i love the remix to “walk it out” b/c the have andre 3000 actually dissing the group & those alike but they are too stupid to realize it. but as long as these ppl (mainly young folks) are buying it, it’s gonna sell ! i said it b4 & i’ll say it again, i have my old cd’s to keep me warm at night. long live outkast & goodie mob & the roots & bone thugs & black star & all of the 80’s rap !!! we’re all in the same gang !!!! self destruction !!!!
Let’s just say this majority of the board feels as thought.JAY’Z IS FULL OF *****,A HYPOCRITE.And any other adjective you want to add.How you going to call someone out and you made millions yourself off the same ***** the audacity.
I think we could have respect him more if he added his own damm self to the mix.
Jay-Z is really trying hard to stay relevant. He should accept the fact that music evolves (sometimes for the better sometimes, not so much) and he is not always going to be a part of it. My problem with Joe-Z is that he has a problem with any hip hop or rap that is about having fun. I am so glad that all music is not about shooting, jackin’ somebody up, robbing, and growing up in the projects. Violence begets violence. Lighten up!
@lucky
You can’t compare the two. it’s like saying a Lexus and Honda are the same. Yes they are both cars but that is where the comparsons end.
@lucky
P.S.
On here you have a few people on here who have social reasons that they bring up and the other are just plain haters.
@504okaay
I don’t think he’s saying anything bad about having music to party too. He’s just saying it’s not good music. The old party songs that were made in the late 90’s people still party to them in clubs across the country. You know when you hear Slow Down by brand Nubian’s, anything by Frankie Beverly and Maze, or one of Jay’s party songs you still party to them. Now this new stuff on the other hand is like Chinese food its good for the minute and only the minute. Let’s just call it microwave Hip Hop.
Wow, I’m glad I’m not the only person who was wondering what the hell he was saying, although i do agree with the part about hip-hop being in a bad place. There’s no one to blame but the consumers of hip-hop…there’s good stuff out there but we’re not requesting on the radio or buying it, but we al l start bouncin’ in the club when they play “This is why i’m hot”.
I’m not a Jay-Z hater but I’m not a *****-rider either like some people. More power to him. I hope his album is as good as he seems to think it is.
That comment was aimed at Mims and others like him….no disrespect….lol…..
jay is a boss brooklyn stand the fuc up we get it
COOP coming back at ya! For me it basically the same,On the slick he doing a movie same theme guns violence women drugs materialism same old song and dance.
Did i mention “VIOLENCE”,The same thing under another name same umbrella I’m in agreement todays rap is basically *****ty. but still i didn’t stop him doing that song with Nickle,Diddyshouting all the same ***** he’s complaining about.
What’s funny he’s doing it on the slick but bottom line he’s going to make the same ***** he’s complaining about all he’s doing id putting make-up on it and calling it something else.
Again COOP LOL here the ***** is still a Hypocrite.
Rap is dead by golly! And good riddance! Everybody knows that the next big thing that’going to take over the airwaves is POLKA! Because it is off the HIZZY (as you young whipper snappers would say) Me and my lady friend Myrtle is going to shake a rug once BET and Mtv gets with POLKA! I remember when POLKA! was big oh so 60 years ago. It was what played to set the mood for a little hanky panky. My first lady friend Gladys let me touch her knee cap while listening to Guy Lombardo, what a thrill that was. Polka! real baby-making music by Gosh! Remember Kiddies, POLKA! COMING BACK TO RECLAIM THE THRONE AS THE TRUE KNOCKING THE BOOTS MUSIC. (you kids still say that or did i just date myself) Oh nevermind. POLKA!
If you are not a hiphop head, then you should just shut your damn mouth and not say shyt. How dumb do you have to be to not understand what he just said, he basically stated that rap is garbage right now and he is going left of the nonsense with his new album.
MIMS IS A *****GOT! Str8 Clown
@coop,
What about the comparison between Lexus and Toyotas? They are both cars and they are the same cars but one cost alot more and brings more status.
I think we must all admit that none of us are being forced fed any type of music. If there is a general degradation in the quality of rap/hip hop it is just a reflection of our tastes. Music is bad because the people just have bad taste. Jay-Z cant knock rappers because they wouldnt exist if people didnt buy the music. Ofcourse its alot easier to knock the rappers because it is way too risky for him to get on the mic and say, “Yall a bunch of ignit as *****s for bumpin Soul Ja boy.” Those same people buy his music.
More to the point, if JAy Z had any guts he’d tell the listening audience how they have no taste, style, depth, or culture.
kigali, he would come off as a hater though and people would accuse him of being old and bitter. All he can do is make quality music and hope other artist follow, or sign quality artist to his label (Kanye,Beanie Sigel,etc).
Well I for one love Jay-Z so I will be getting his album. It really don’t matter. Jay and Bey are ppl that never have to worry about selling records. Ppl will buy it just b/c it’s them. And I agree w/ what he said to a certain extent.
Damn Jay to whatever you said! You looking hella bad in that Pepto Bismol Pink jacket. Did you just get your feelings hurt before taking that pic? And why in da hell are you wearing those big azz gl*****es??? You look like a long pink, brown, and denim thin line. Not cute!!! STYLIST STAT!!!
this comment come from a man who made a song with the the Lyrics “Money Cash Hoes” when he was 29 years old…he needs to take his Camel ***** back to the desert
I Love You Jay!
This knucka thinks he’s gonna part the Red Sea of whack MCs like he’s the *****in’ Moses of rap. Tsk, tsk.
I actually like Jay Z (one of the few rappers I do like) and I wish him good luck. I don’t like the title of his new cd and I thought he had ditched the baggy jeans and hoodies. But it’s all good, though.
Hip Hop will never be the same as it was 20 15 10 even 5 years ago, so people can get over it. MIMS said he could sell a mill without saying nothing on the track because the beat is what sells the tracks now. If its a hot beat and catchy hook you got a hit.
you know JAMIE

@lucky
and
@ Others
You sound like you may have a head on your shoulders but you also sound like you may have never really listen to Jay other then what you hear on the radio or the videos.
Also how do you know that it’s the same guns violence women drugs materialism? Have you already heard the album? Jay-Z’s his songs that aren’t played on the radio and are about the streets are usually very deep and emotional and not glorifying anything.
“Regrets”
I found myself reminiscing, remember this one
when he was here he was crazy nice with his son
I miss him, long as I’m living he’s living through memories
He’s there to kill all my suicidal tendencies
In heaven looking over me, or in hell, keeping it cozy
I’m coming life on these streets ain’t what it’s supposed to be
Remember Newton, mutual friend well me and him feuding
On your life I tried to talk to him
But you know *****s, think they guns can stop foe *****s
Fronting like they, Big Willie but really owe *****s
Hoe *****s, this year I’m sho’ *****s think I’m slipping
I’m bought to send you a roommate, no bull*****ting
for my hustle’s going too well to hit him
You was right ni##as want you to be miserable wit em
Anyway, I ain’t trying to hear it, I think I’m touched
this whole verse I been talking to your spirit, a little too much
“You Must Love Me”
Since my date of birth
bought you nothing but hurt
play those video games
stole change from ya purse
Sat on the cold court bench
’til I was arraigned to ya skirt
Saw the pain in ya face
through you maintained a smirk
All you did was motivate me
don’t let ‘em hold you back
What I do I turned around
and I sold you crack
I was a ***** for that
still I’m drowning in shame
Just remember one thing now
you’re not to blame
You was newly seperated
tryin’ to escape ya world
and through my thirst
I didn’t help you
I just made things worse
I hated me and everybody
that created crack
Had me thinkin’
the newest kicks and the latest gat
Still haven’t apologized
so please play this back
while I try to come to terms
with such a heinous act
you know in more than one way
cocaine numbs the brain
All I did was think about
how the funds once came
then I ran across this memory
and it stung the brain
How can you ever destroy the beauty
from which one came
That’s a savage you’re the reason
why me and these beats make a marriage
why I rhyme above average and
I ain’t *****
Glad you got yourself together
no thanks to me
Strong and beautiful the way thangs should be
You must love me
“This Can’t Be Life”
See I was — born in sewage, born to make bomb music
Flow tight like I was born Jewish
Used the streets as a conduit – I kept arms
38 longs inside my mom’s Buick
At any given moment Shawn could lose it, be on the news
Iron cuffs – arms through it; or stuffed with embalmin fluid
*****, I’m goin through it – mom dukes too
Tears streamin down her pretty face, she got her palms to it
My life is gettin too wild
I need to bring some sort kinda calm to it
Bout to lose it; voices screamin “Don’t do it!”
It’s like ‘93, ‘94, bout the year
that Big and Mag dropped; and “Illmatic” rocked
outta every rag drop, and the West had it locked
Everybody doin ‘em, I’m still scratchin on the block
like “Damn; I’ma be a failure”
Surrounded by thugs, drugs, and drug – paraphenalia
Cops courts, and their thoughts is to derail us
Three time felons in shorts with jealous thoughts
Tryin figure where your mail is, guesstimate the weight you sellin
So they can send shots straight to your melon; wait!
It gets worse, baby momma water burst
Baby came out stillborn, still I gotta move on
Though my heart still torn, life gone from her womb
Don’t worry, if it was meant to be, it’ll be — soon
“Where Have You Been”
I wanted to walk just like him (remember?)
wanted to talk just like him (word)
often momma said I look too much
and I thought just like him (it could happen)
wanted to drink Miller nips
and smoke Newports just like you
but you left me, now I’m goin to court just like you
I would say “my daddy loves me and he’ll never go away”
bull*****, do you even remember December’s my birthday?
do you even remember the tender boy
you turned into a cold young man
with one goal and one plan
get mommy out of some jam, she was always in one
always short with the income
always late with the rent
You said that you was comin through
I would stay in the hallway (waitin)
always playin the bench (waitin)
and that day came and went
***** You! very much you showed me the worst kind of pain
but I’m stronger and trust me I will never hurt again
will never ask mommy “why daddy don’t love me?
Why is we so poor?, why is life so ugly?
Mommy why is your eyes puffy?”
please don’t cry everything’ll be alright
I know it’s dark now, but we gon’ see the light
It’s us against the world
we don’t need him, right? (right)
mommy drivin 6’s now (yeah), I got riches now (yeah)
I bought I nice home for both of my sisters now
we doin real good
we don’t miss you now
see how life twists around, *****er?
@lucky
Do you still want to stick by your speculation that he raps about same guns violence women drugs materialism. Does he like to floss yes but his catalog is much more move past the videos and radio. If you don’t feel surprised by the poetry above I will pray for you. And yes I said poetry because that is what it is.
Forget Jay for a minute. Why isn’t anybody talking about JENA 6. Oh watch, the Bossip Staff is going to reprimand me for bringing up an unrelated topic.
@kigali
The only thing is that the rappers that we are talking about aren’t even a Toyota if they are their a old 1981 Toyota that says Datsun on the back and has a whole in the muffler. And not the ones that are the same as a Lexus under the skin. since that’s what you were trying to elude to.
@Vanessa
Your correct people need to keep them and others across the country in the news so the courts don’t get to comfortable.
Dang I didn’t know you could type that much
usmarine,
People who tell the truth are often portrayed as haters. The truth is offensive sometimes.
Still, people arent stupid. They dont need to be told what kind of rap/hip hop to like by limiting their choices. People are voting with their wallets. They have been given a choice. May not be the best choice but thats how it is.
Besides, great music has always been the preserve of smaller audiences. Consider yourself in an exclusive club.
Tiray,
“As long as there’s black people, there will be HIPHOP!
now if we can just own it away from the jews!
(feel me mos-def?)”
Did you hear what R***** K***** said about Hip Hop: Jews run it, *****s run around in it.
What J is saying is since the south took over Rap it’s been all down hill, no Lyrics just corny hooks.

Even though Kingdom Come was a flop, I still went out and bought it…..the track “Trouble” (the beat by Dr. Dre), and “Beach Chair” were among my favorites…., for those saying that he isn’t deep, and dude gave some good examples up top, with the lyrics he posted from old Jay songs. I do agree with Jay to an extent on the state of hip hop, however, he has to realize that the younger generation isn’t trying to hear socially conscious music, therefore Soulja Boy and Mims are selling and being played. There’s nothing wrong with a lil catchy song that has a dance to go along with it. I will always remain a true Jay supporter, I watch “Fade To Black”, “Streets Is Watching”. I listen to at least one of his CD’s every day on my way to work, but he cannot single-handedly change the game of hip hop anymore like he thinks. It’s a *****le thought at best, but not gonna happen…
^^^^@Lisa- I hear you, ma!!! =)
I agree with you 504okaay!!! I am sitting here thinking WTF??? Alzheimers must be setting in!!!Lisa calm down and use SPELLCHECK!!! Stop getting so emotional about a ***** that would walk past ya ***** in the street and ignore you.. Damn is he cutting you a check at the end of the month, every month? If so, go help Beanie out.. since he was helping ya boy Jay out..(being a ghostwriter is a *****).. Have you ever wondered why he kicked it with a bunch of PHILLY rappers and not with a big group of New York rappers??? Ask ya self why his swagger changed after Hawaiian Soapy Fame…(Where is his gold clip-on?) Why he ganked Jazz-o’s name… Whatever you smoking …PLEASE DON’T SHARE IT… You are just a fan…You don’t have enough inside info to know what the happy hell you’re talking about.. So go back to the end of the line…NEXT PLEASE!!!
“Is there anything the Jiggaman can’t do? At a press conference in Las Vegas on Thursday, September 6th, Jay-Z announced that he will be opening the third 40/40 Club in Las Vegas, as a part of the Palazzo hotel, which is the second tower currently being added to The Venetian. Details of the new $20 million ultra-lounge sound s*****y – it runs 24,000 square feet and has “24-karat gold and platinum floors”. (What, no diamonds? We thought this was the Roc?!!?) The club will open on December 21, 2007
This last quote is about Jay-z whom is one of the all time selling rap/black music artists. Who insted of giving back to the community with he so emptily represents he spends 24 million on a night club in Vegas.
ok rel quick, name two songs off his last CD…..and cut.
OKAY…let me get this straight…he made a CD of the movie American Gangster….so now the movie wasn’t that great and he’s going to do his own version of the original movie?….TYPICAL JAY Z….please sit down!….
AY YO IM TIGHT THAT SOMEONE ON THIS SITE WANNA BE MAD CHILDISH AND POST SOMETHING UNDER MY NAME KNOWINGLY WELL I DONT TALK LIKE THAT MY SWAGGER IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM URS, ITS THE BROOKLYN WAY YA HEARD SO I ADVISE THAT PERSON TO NOT USE MY NAME TO POST THEIR COMMENTS N VIEWS JUS CUS I DONT AGREE WITH EVERYTHIN U SAYING THANK U VERY MUCH 143 IM OUT
@Bella
So bella your saying it’s not good to diversify? Or are you saying that he does nothing for the community?
@Coop
I respect what ya saying and yes i heard Jay’s black album and all respect due.But i still standby my point or you can say my agreement,You can’t knock others when you did just about the same contributed to a situation.COOP i want you to feel where I’m coming from Jay is the CEO over Artist Development but yet look what’s on the roster people who he signed.Rick Ross,Jezzy and others, and what rick,and jezzy rap about ?
Someone pointed it out and it didn’t dawn on me.Who’s dominating the “GAME” right know? The “SOUTH”keep in mind the south been holding it down for as couple of years.it makes me wonder but I’m going to *****ume he’s saying the whole game in general.For some of you who want to call people stupid,haters ,dumb that’s what makes this board what it is. not everybody is going to agree
LOL here when you call out people name “WHAT THAT SAYS ABOUT YOU. so keep it in mind.
THAT WHY I CAN’T STAND HYPOCRISY
Jay Z sit your ***** down! Men lie women lie numbers don’t sooooooooooooooo……………Kanye >>>> Jay Z! LOL! I wish the ***** I would buy any of Jay Z’s polluting ***** CD’s! He has contributed to bringing down the black race like so many other famous folks! ***** him. I work hard for mine!
Stop being a groupie and keep it moving. You want closure in yo life close yo legs.
Since all rappers do good deeds, well Diddy throw 1 million at some charity cause well guess what the spice girls get…….
Sean Combs recently donated $8 million for a fleet of jewel encrusted tour buses for the Spice Girls World Tour. Will Sean Combs ever stop cooning?
Hip-hop star Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has pledged his support to the forthcoming Spice Girls world tour – by donating a $8 million fleet of buses. The rapper is currently designing bullet-proof buses complete with jewels for pal Victoria Beckham and band mates Geri Halliwell, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton and Melanie Brown.
A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, “He wants the girls to go in style and he knows how to do that.” (Source)
Jay is too much! I am excited about seeing the American Gangsta with DENZEL—-excited about hearing Jays American Gangsta not so much….with the title Blue Magic that single should have came a little harder, and it sucks especially with Pharell on the track….and what the hell is he even talkin about! Anywhoooo we shall see how the album will shape out but it better be harder than Kingdome Come cause he could have kept that….I think he needs to work on Rick Ross’s album personaly and sit the hell down. Rap needs saving-or rehibilitation but his ***** is not the ticket!
@Sincere
You do know that movie is not out yet and that he was called and asked to watch the movie in order to do a soundtrack but later the director decided go with a more 70’s feel and it was decide that his would be his musical interpretation. Guess what your saying is just typical misinformed hate.
Why is he out in public looking like a can of Tab?
i can’t take him serious any more and that’s been since hard knock life. jay had plenty of songs that didin’t have any substance but every one over looked that and continued to say he’s the greatest and with that i disagree to the fullest he talk ***** about rappers like a ***** then he is caught hanging with them like they are the best of buddies.Tupac called his ***** out and didn’t say a thing so i know he’s ***** made at one giving time i thought this ***** was reading vogue magazine and writing raps at the same time.Jay-z is in his mid life crisis in front of the world and he doesn’t know what to do with him self i think the lil ***** should be on suicide watch or something
@lucky
Each song that I quoted was purposly taken from a different album and not the Black album. I feel where your coming from. The rapper that he is talking about like Mims (who is from New York) don’t even do the same kind of rap as Ross and Jezzy and also the south should not be singled out for blame. Hip Hop has rappers from the north and South that are making low quality music.
@ Vanessa
I would LOVE to see a free style battle!! THAT WOULD BE HOT!!
And like you I am SOOOOOOOOO tired of these no talented rappers like Soulja Boy, Kinfolk, etc…
I also think people dont listen to Lyrics anymore cuz they’re so use to some dance to it.
Jay-z can rap about feeling like Bonnie & Clyde and Being James Brown because who stays in the same place in there life?
@tatas 4 life
Stop giving bad info Pac called him out and in return he said “2Pacs up in Rikers Island getting f@cked you dissed me now I dissed you what’s up”
@Jus Another Opinion
And Harpo buys her employees Ferraris for Christmas.
like i said befor and to these broke money hungry women on here
he gives to charity all the time ,all the time!! he don’t owe you ***** if he don’t want to brag about it that’s him
if jay was so bad of an example then how come when these hiphop discussions about changing the lyrics even opra , al sharpton and whoevers against it can’t help but to admitt he’s possitive point is yall are haterz and don’t know nothing about him
and get off his looks cause yall *****es can’t get no hollas …….but dat wouldn’t matta no way cause yall some dikes
oh and if you wont buy his album nore like i’m pretty sure he couldn’t care less in case you didn’t know jay got over a zillion fans i had to envent a word cause that’s how many it is and he sold over 33 mill records one of the richest rappers in hiphop is look at by all racies as a genius got yall beloved beyonce on his arm and he didn’t get to that level overnight he worked his ***** off and got his glory while in process so on dat not yall are so irrelevant to him it an’t even funny ….
oh wait it is ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!
lmao!
^^^^LISA take your groupie ***** to bed! He doesn’t care about your *****riding ***** either~
@ COOP
I feel ya i know all the songs you quoted didn’t come from the black albulm.But’s let’s agree to disagree,ihave to say this.I still think the NI**A
is still a GRIMEY HYPOCRITE!
TT
Jay is talkin about how these fake rappers are just makin catchy 1 word phases in songs & gettin paid….MIMS is who he is referring to…..I guess u all were so caught up in singin “this is why Im hot”……u didnt pay attention to the “lyrics”……..and he is telling the truth. Jay raps to the point where you have to really listen to how he is relating one topic into the next all in one flow…………Catch up!!
yep TT i feel what you saying he was refering to mims and a whole lotta cats. HIP HOP IS DEAD 4REAL!!!!!!
First of all, on the “This Is Why I’m Hot” song, when MIMS made that statement about making a mil saying nothing on a track, he meant he can also PRODUCE tracks and make a gwap off of them. NOT that he can just talk stupid ***** and get paid for it. But let’s be real–Jay ain’t talkin about nuthin on his ***** either…
Thank god for this upcoming Jay album. Once again he had to come in and save hip-hop. Without Jay hip-hop is truly dead. The is the Greatest Hip-Hop Artist Ever! The Greatest Lyricist Ever. There was none greater before him and there will be none greater after him.
***** PLEAZE!
I have never liked big lip’s material..yet i have had an album or two..i also bought j-lo..but thats another story.. he is mad cause he is played out like his weave wearing mistress..no style or substance..just a biter..never orginal.. i will take Nas, LL cool J and Rakim over him any day..he can kick rocks..and thats real talk.. ive been down with hip hop since the late 80’s early 90’s so this fool aint got nothing to add, he just takes away..let him and his money hungry winch go away..and stay gone!!!
You mean to tell me that I scrolled a-l-l the way through this post…thinking I typed a post…and someone responded to my post..only to find I didn’t post a dammin comment???
This is some EXTRA bull***** right here! Lol!!!
Its about damn time someone stop all these mad rappers, All the crap thats on bet,Mtv bring back real hip-hop. Word
