Get tha fuk ouutta here jay,

you got rich off this now you wanna talk smack

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 classic and can’t nobody 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.

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 ??

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!

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

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.

@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…

@ 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 ass 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

Finally some people who know what is going on? People know Jay lyrics r on another level. Yeah every now and then he’ll throw a booty shaker in there just to mix it up but don’t get it twisted he is on it. Hence the reason he’s dating the hottest chick in the game. Who’s on Bey level right now? As far as awards, movies, ticket sales, ringtones, clothing line, etc. come on people.

DAMN

BIG JIM

YOU STILL ALIVE???????!!!!!!!!!!!1

man i been saying it for a while now hip hop been going to hell since everybody been getting crunk……YEEEAAAAAAAAA

@ 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

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…

@ 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

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 pissed 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 ass 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

Bahama Mama

dez nuts – how bout u put u put ur nuts in ur mouth nicca

Bahama Mama every body on this web site knows ur a ghetto hood rat with no money

I FEEL SCARFACE WHOS FROM THE SOUTH DONT GET HIS SHINE SO DONT SAY CAUSE HE SAID IT SO HE CANT GET MAD HE CAN GET MAD CAUSE THE SAME ARTISTS PUT OUT THE SAME THING NICCA YO I EVER MET U SON I KNO I WOULD SCHOOL U CAUSE IM A LAW MAJOR AND I USUALLY WIN MY ARGUMENTS WITH THE HELP OF THESE PPL CDS SO HUSH

that’s cuz everybody on this site knows me, boy u sure r one smart cookie

@Jus Another Opinion, AINT NOBODY RIDIN JAY-Z DICK 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?.

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 ass 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…

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…

Doesn’t he do this?

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………………

You people are hopeless.

If you don’t get it, it’s not for you.

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?

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

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!

I USUALLY DONT SIDE WITH JAY BUT DAT IS A GOOD ASS QUOTE N MIMS SPIT DAT I NEVA REALLY TRIPPED BUT JA IS RIGHT

http://WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THAGRINDAHOLIC

NUTHIN BUT SLAPS

@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.

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.

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!

@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 !!!!

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 dick-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

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 FAGGOT! 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.

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 glasses??? 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 ass back to the desert

I Love You Jay!

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.

Rap? dead? Nawl…

At this moment, there is some kid in the basement making the’the next big thing’ in rap/hiphop.

maybe-LA maybe-hollis queens!

Hell, maybe H-town! BUT that kid is in the basement diggin in the crates as we speak!

That’s real spit!

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?)

DONT LIKE WHAT I SAID …….KISS MY MAN IN THE MOUTH…….LOL

HEY LA FINEST

BEEN A LONG TIME!!!! GOOD TO SEE YA

Well..he’ll NEVER have another song like “hard knock life”

TIRAY

I LIKE YOU TOO…

I SHARE YOUR THOUGHT!!

kapitalk u seem real too ..boo

i might just initiate you too

@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.

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 noble thought at best, but not gonna happen…

^^^^@Lisa- I hear you, ma!!! =)

“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 swanky – 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 assume 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

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 ass 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?

@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.

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 ass 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 ass to bed! He doesn’t care about your dickriding ass 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!!!!!!

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.

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!!!

Its about damn time someone stop all these mad rappers, All the crap thats on bet,Mtv bring back real hip-hop. Word
