According to the website, JesusandJigga.com, the book seeks to merge the worlds of Jesus and Jay Z and it is “for anyone who is searching for a way to understand biblical applications outside of the four walls of a church.”
“The book demonstrates a better approach that Christians can use to address rap lyrics. Too many Christian leaders and too much Christian media focuses almost exclusively on the negative aspects of Hip-Hop Culture and rap music.”
When asked why Jay Z, the author said he was convinced that Jay Z was a good rapper “But after hearing the Blueprint album as a whole, I started listening to his earlier work more carefully. Since everyone had pegged him as nothing but a materialistic rapper who disrespects women, I was stunned at the depth of thought and feeling that I found in several of his songs. Over time, the book started writing itself in my head. These days, it’s clear that Jay-Z is no ordinary hip-hop Artist.”
No Date was mentioned as to the books release.

fuck gay-z
yea fuk gay z
Wow, how can I follow so intelligent and thought out responses.
I have no idea. But don't get too mad at them, they are just illiterate idiots who don't understand lyrics and their meaning.
U lame ass niggaz once again need to get off Gay-Z dick he isnt betta wayne plain n simple
wayne is influenced by jay-z and wayne even called jay the best rapper alive....so no you are the lame ass.
To Flai Boy/Notorious/Nabizzle
Jay-Z>>>>>>>Your Favorite Rapper
Unless Your Favorite Rapper Is Nas/Pac IMO Then Ok.But I Doubt That.
will be a good read, your favorite rapper is your favorite rapper, not the best rapper alive
Man being on this site made me realize how many haters there are out here. Now the article clearly states Jay z has nothing to do with the bok, yet people still hating. Lol. Its amazing to me how people can hate someone so much that they have never even met. Its rappers I don't like but never will I go to the extent of hating like some of the readers on ds go. Anyone who says jay aint nice or jay is wack, is a true hater for this reason. You cannot deny his lyrical talent so you can't dislike him for that, therefore you must be hating on his plethora of accomplishments. Now if that's the case that's truly sad. People always say he arrogant and he got a big ego, well consider this. I'm a college student who drive a chevy tahoe and played bbal, so I know I have somewhat of a ego, so imagine if you were worth 350 million it would only be natural to have somewhat of a ego. People don't realize that man came from nothing, those who can't relate shouldn't hate. I may not like 50 but I love the fact he gettin paper. I'm tired of people trying to throw lil wayne in the mix of best rappers, it is really gettin disrespectful to the true legends of the game. Wayne at best is a HOT rapper right now. After listening to Like Father Like Son I'm convinced he won't be hot for too much longer. Again he is the benifeciary of GREAT production. Yall niccas need to listen to the lyrics and not jus skim through. Go pick up the roots album, the blueprint, illmatic, mos def album, all eyez on me, then listen to those and tell me where lil wayne ranks.
damn jay i used ta blast his oldjams now i turn the radio down when i here his new junk get it toghether bra
Wow!! hating on Jay because of what?? He held it down for so long? Influenced the Masses? Grew UP?
amj1227 was right on point...
Wayne will be there soon.
lol yall lil youngins crack me up, one nigga said fuck gay-z then the next lil nigga said yea fuck gay-z....how old are you fuckin guys?? there should be a seperate section on defsounds for niggas who started listenin to rap after 50 cent came out.....then some dumb nigga said Wayne is better than J.....lol yall part time rap fans need to keep up with yo rock and roll collection cause you niggas sound stupid....matter of fact most of you young niggas crack me up, keep it up, yo opinions dont mean shit except for entertainment for real hiphop niggas such as myself, peace to all the real hiphop niggas who got history, fuck all you lil youngins talkin bout Wayne and D4L and Jim Jones and Jibbs and Diddy are yall's favorite rappers......lol fuck outta here b
Jay needs 2 put out a biography
What cracks me up about how Lil Wayne claims he's better than Jigga is one thing...To have people BELIEVE him is another.
We are talking about a Lyricist who was nice during the time of WU Tang, Nas, Biggie, Pac, Pun, Big L. You Yungins don't even know who Big L is.....Reasonable Doubt came out, when Biggie and Pac were still alive. Eminem did eat Jay on his own song and Nas did blast Jay on Ether, but Jigga got even better from that...To have NAS, of all people, go on blast for 2 Albums against 1 man, as a beef. That's RESPECT for the person's lyrical content. To have a rapper, who will have your jaw drop, after listening to the songs that he doesn't even market on the radio, or T.V... This dude rhymed with THE BEST of them...And we actually have people who are comparing him to Lil Wayne. No pun intended to Wayne, but no one really cared about this dude when he dropped "Block is Hot" or "500 Degrees" and rhyming with the Hotboys...NO, No, No,,,,,Its when he decided to change his whole style, manurisms, focus on the rap game. Listen to both of the CARTER albums, and then listen to Jay-z's Blueprint, and you will see where Wayne all of the sudden got his style from... That like saying KOBE is BETTER than JORDAN.....NEVA EVA....
fuck gay-z and that incest kissing his daddy nigga
WOW HOLD THE fUCK UP, iz yual nigga seriously comparing Lil wayne's fag self to jigga, how tha fuck do yual sleep at night, how u wake up and say " i noe hip hop"
omg. yual need 2 calm tha fuck down thats like sayin manie fresh is better than dre,
come on fuck heads get real.
Comparing Jay-Z to Lil Wayne is like comparing Michael Jordan to Ricky Davis, it just not right.
On the subject of the book, I think this is just another conartist trying to capitalize off someone sucess.Not to say the author couldn't be inspired by Jay-Z, but it all seem to fishy.
Jaysmooth ur so rite....lil wayne style came from Jay-Z so if u think Jay iz wack then u think Lil Wayne iz wack
I disagree with both of ya'll... how you gonna say where another man got his style from?
that statement is un provable... its an opinion..
i dont understand can someone please tel me what do jay-z have to do wit jesus. and i think jay is startin to get a lil overrated. his music is aight, but niggas makin it seem like it can kill niggas when he lay it down. and why niggas keep sayin lil wayne style came just from jay. please wayne borrowed from every rapper, every rapper borrows from others. stop thinkin jay started everything and niggas copied from just him. like nas said
No ideas original, theres nothin' new under the sun
it's never what you do but how it's done
"what you base your happiness around, material women and large paper" - a jay shot
thats means you're inferior, not major
For reals.. sometimes i think cats on here just ain't hip to life in general the way they be talking...
sound like high schoolers that be sheltered and shit...
And WTF jay z have to do with jesus 4 reals.. why he call himself hova anyways..
he trppn if he think he can water into wine... haha
comparing jay z to lil wayne is more micheal jordan to kobe byant
i mean lil wayne can say dont rhyme and its gone rhyme cant nobody come up wit dat
let me tell yall bout a nigga name lil wayne. his gimmick is to convince niggas he da best. a boss dont have to call himself a boss. how many times u gonna say u da best. i look at it 2 ways. either u sayin dat so u can get more album sales, bc rightfully if a niga feel u r da best then he gonna buy ur album right. or he sayin it cuz he do feel a lil insecure wit his position in tha rap game wit a whole lot of artists dat might be betta. if u r da nicest stop repeatin urself. niggas be like wayne is nice, but on tha other side u keep sayin im da best im da best. dats why u got niggas on here talkin bout he da best bc he trained dis dumb ass fans into thinkin dat. da same way wit t.i lol when t.i came out wit his first cd luda was droppin word of mouf, niggas didnt give a fuck bout t.i. then t.i dropped rubber band man. then niggas started to give him a lil notice and t.i just bugged out. who da fuck gets a award and just be like IM DA KING HOMIE. how may times u gonna say da shit. t.i is started to get on my damn nerves wit dat wack shit. niggas feel dat way bout dis niggas cuz they keep sayin it. to all u dumb muthafuckas its a gimmick dats it. until t.i sell half of the records luda sold, then come holla at me. and i dont even wanna compare tha 2 lyrics
oh yea and if he cant rap why his name seem to get mentioned like on everything about jay z or best rapper alive think about dat
lil wayne is whats hot right now, hes featured on damn near everyones singles hes my fav rapper might not be the best but hes gotta be up there some where
just like i said he can say dont rhyme and its gone rhyme
I don't agree with the dude calling himself GOD MC, and JayHova, cuz he crazy for that. But I was talking about the fact that the dude is what he is. And when you got cats not giving the dude his just due, then I gotta say something.... Trust me, I got all Jay-z work, all Biggie music, All NAS music, all pac, all Pun, Wu Tang, the whole nine. Even Wayne's 2 Carter cds. So I hate on no man... But give the dude his due... That's the only reason is had to say something...Folks is disrepecting the dude, like its the FASHION for this season. Oh, the reason the topic came up, is because if you listen to the dudes music, then you will tell that a lot of the stuff he says, is Bible related. NOT THE RADIO PLAY, the ALBUM....Listen to his ALBUMS... "I got the weight of the world on my shoulder, that why they call me HOVA(Jehovah or his way JAY-hova), I'm far from being god, but I work God D**M hard."--Breathe Easy......."See, I got Demons in my past, so I've got daughters on the way, If the PROPHECY IS CORRECT, then the child will have to pay"--Beach Chair....... "I had near brushes, not to mention, three shots, close range, DIVINE INTERVENTION"--Dead Presidents......... "Jay-Hova- I'm the KING, I can never be DETHONED...Only king that will NEVER be dethroned is God. Over time thru history, all the human kings were dethroned....Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great, All the Pharoahs, even a bible name a lot of you don't know, King Herod, during Jesus time. READING IS FUNDAMENTAL---HAHAHAHa
no disrespect to wayne and all cause i listen to him on the regular...but lyrically hes not on Jay-Z level...infact most niggaz thought wayne and cashmoney itself was garbage (lyrically) up until wayne dropped The Carter...and personally i think The Carter is his best album...The Carter 2 aint stack up to the first one...and i realized that most non educated niggaz that just grow up on the shit that everybody around them listen too think wayne is the nicest ever cause thats the only person they know like that...i think Big L is the nicest EVER!!!...then Biggie...then Jay...thats just my opinion. i dont listen to all that west coast hip-hop like that so im not gonna include Pac or whoever but thats jut my opinon. But like everybody else said...Wayne is whats hot now...he aint gonna stay at the top forever
jay aint right
Tigh, I can tell by yo comments you a lil young nigga, you talkin bout why is he mentioned with Jay Z as the best rapper alive, its cause of lil niggas like you.....if you had any history about Jay-Z or Wayne or Rocafella and the Hot Boys and Cash Money, you already know Wayne is no way on the level of J, yall niggas really soundin stupid with that one, Id love to see the pics of some of you dumb niggas makin those comments, it would help to see whos retarded up in here.....
Right now in the game, J is kinda like the Michael Jordan when he played for the Wizards, all the young niggas was like shit Jordan sucks!! I love Kobe!! the same shit is happening now, if you werent alive or were born in the 90's then chances are you never seen Jordan destroy niggas on the court, but some of us have so we know Jordan is the greatest of all time, he dont got to prove it to no one....same thing with Jigga, he dropped Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime VOl1-3, Blueprint, all these albums, his track record speaks for itself.....right now he comin back for the hell of it, he dont got to prove shit to nobody, so if you takin shots at Jigga talkin bout hes wack or Wayne is better than him, you need to be smacked in the face or better yet ask yo momma for 50 dollars and go by these albums to step yo cd collection up cause some of yall dont know a motha fuckin thang about hiphop.....
Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, Ready 2 Die, Infamous Mobb Deep, WU Tang 36 Chambers, Raekwon Only Built for Cuban Lynx, Fat Joe Don Cartagena, Nas It Was Written.....cop these albums, they real hiphop, Wayne, Jibbs, Jenny Jones, Rick Ross, Game, these gimmick rappers they aint sayin nothin that aint been said by a million other rappers, you lil niggas need to step ya game up b....
"Good dudes - I know you love me like cooked food Even though a nigga got move like a crook move"------Jay-Z "Song Cry" 2002
"You Know I Love You Like Cook Food, You Know You Fuckin Wit A Good Dude"-----Lil Wayne verse "I want u You" 2007
I got more Weezy jackin Jay-Z lyrics for yall lil niggas that think Wayne is betta than tha GOD MC.
Jay-Z is my favorite rapper. Hes is the greatest of all time. His lyrics are Intelligent and they make good sense and hes grown about it, he makes good quality hip hop music. Jay makes the music we need, aren't you tired of people saying all rappers talk about is what they shoot and who they fucked and what they sell? Don't you get tried of the critism hiphop gets? Jay-z brings that good shit, and its still hood with out the guns and shit.
HES BUTT! HES GONNA BURN WORSE THAN EVERYBODY ELSE FOR THIS WACK ASS BOOK.
Some niggas are too stupid to understand that Jay-Z has nothing to do with this book.
lil young nigga yeah nigga im young but you make it sound like im 15 and i den watched mj and kobe and dominique and nearly everybody i want to nigga da only good rap album i liked of jay hovie hova whatever the fuck was the black album and just like i said for the money weezy can say dont rhyme and its gone rhyme and ah mj nigga dem two totally different lines and if he so wack what you listening to his songs for fake ass nigga and how many ogs got a kid at the end of their name
fuckatta hea u sound stupid....Im not even gettin into this shit
[Chorus 1 - Lil Wayne]
I got a lot of loot and I ain't lookin' for a lady
And you can never pay me I'm from Uptown baby
I wake up in the mornin' take a piss and wash my hands
Take a knee and thank the Man then get back to the money
You ain't know I gotta go
Where ya goin'? I gotta get back to the money
You ain't know I gotta go
Where ya goin'? I gotta get back to the money
To the money
[Verse 1 - Lil Wayne]
Nigga I ain't got a money printer
So for this paper chase I'm out runnin' sprinters
Yes the last two Cash Money members
Shout out to the new Cash Money members
Baby and Slim still point guard and center
So much money on my mind it's all I remember
And I just bought a gun wit' a extender
And that bitch hold me up like suspenders
Cut like a blender sharper than a bitch
They got so many pussy niggaz I can make a list
Niggaz wonder why I stress that I am the best
'Cause even bobble heads tell me yes.. haha
Put it on the hood I'm Hollygrove to death
I'm already good I'm workin' on my left
A jungle on my wrist a circus on my neck
Don't forget the Baby no don't forget the F
Damn Tigh u r a young dude il tell u right now wayne came out wit a couple good albums young man like carter 1 n 2 and u prolly havent even heard his earlier albums like tha block his out, 500 degreez, nd lights out... jay-z on the otha hand has hit albumSSS throught his career - i dont even gotta name'em cuz if u dont know em u dont know jackshit.Anotha thing, Hov got EXPERIENCE. Just cuz wayne was in the game since 11 whuteva dont mean uve matured ova da shit. when wayne come out with more than 5 KNOWN albums come holla at me.
Bay ridah what are u talking bout? Wayne clearly says he copied jay....in his own words..." studied my own gangsta music, AND THE BLUEPRINT" he says stuff like all the time.
TIGH u a LIL Wayne Stan. U got the nigga pic as your avatar. That's some groupie shit. Ur basement prolly a WEEZY Shrine. Nigga prolly prays to Weezy and shit.
Hey Tigh man, i feel you dude, i'm a fan of Wayne myself, but I think you going at it all wrong...you gotta remember it's a lot of ol'heads on this website who look at things at a critical level. When you speak you sound like a fan, and what people seem to be giving you is valid facts. You gotta try and keep your favortisms off a comment sheet because it jus leaves you goin in circles because not everyone is gonna feel tha same. All i'm saying is...you gotta know that as blacks we always wanna say somebody better than tha next man. Don't get me wrong whites do it to, but nobody do it like we do. So with that said, it would be to hard to say, "you know what both of these dudes spit fire, but i like listening to Wayne, or I like listening to Jay" because this allows us to feel like we have a place. Why is it on all tha sport teams we have to compare Jordan and Lebron, Kobe and Jordan, and whoever else you wanna throw in there, why don't you ever hear Steve Nash and Larry Bird, or Pistol Pete, we need to stop trying to tell people that such and such are supposedly tha best and jus appreciate that different people have different taste. So what if rappers say they tha best, ain't nobody cuttin no checks, and ain't nobody signing no contracts tha last i checked so these artist ain't under no ones limitations...that's why i can appreciate Wayne sayin, "Hatin at a all time high, everybody got hate it's like a f**king I-Pod" For all you people who don't know, that's off his Weezyana mixtape track 3 if you ain't know,
straight up - fuk wayne - that bitch aint even top 10 - or even top 20 - I aint much of a Jay Z fan but theres no way u can compare the 2 - wayne on some bullshit- cant listen to a full track without gettin annoyed by his fukin lil bitch voice- he'll get eaten alive by hov, nas, em, pap, cass... - the list goes on- ya'll need to quit all this wayne shit - seriously
I personely dont think Jay is "God MC" in my opinion.
We all have different opinions on favourite emcee`s so thats just that.
Jay got millions and he is a great business man but what happend was.
He got all of them millions and turned on his friends.Just like he did Dash & Beyonce
Not just that but he proclaims himself king of Hip Hop because of the money he got.
I got these millions so i shit on you talk that shit is played out.Dude need to go to the streets and see life perspective.
really i think jigga is overratted!!! you can't doubt his buisness sense, but his music hasn't been it the same class with biggie, pac, easy-e, snoop, and cube. i mean jigga's first 3 albums were hot then he fell off until the blueprint 2. then he fell off again cause the black album was just as garbage as the block is hott. His claim to fame is that he is from NY. he's in a good place to do what he's doing. todays hip hop artist are better than jigga. i mean take jeezy for instance if it came down to it i would buy a jeezy cd before a jay-z album. ludacris is another one who is better than jigga. and its about 5 or 6 more. so to say that he's the best rapper alive is just simply not true.
Bottom line is that you don't have to like Jay at all. You cannot deny the impact this man has on the game. Even the author of this book felt his impact so much that he had to write about it. Shit people didn't have a problem with Tupac getting a college course about him. Lil Kim got a college course focused on her lyrics as well. ashton1521 - it's ok that you think Jay is overrated. Jay's fan base is much bigger than two people you named. The rest of your post is funny as hell. Onlinedot your post is funny too!

Jay-Z never turn on Damon Dash, he just finally did what everyone in the industry thought he should have done along time ago,let Dash go.Dash was suppose to be the CEO, but he spent more time partying and dancing around in videos,instead of doing his job.Jay-Z turning on Beyounce is stupid and makes no sense.Didn't 50 claim he was the "King of New York" because of the money he has?And Jay doesn't need to "go to the streets and see life perspective", he is from the street.
really i think jigga is overratted!!! you can't doubt his buisness sense, but his music hasn't been it the same class with biggie, pac, easy-e, snoop, and cube. i mean jigga's first 3 albums were hot then he fell off until the blueprint 2. then he fell off again cause the black album was just as garbage as the block is hott.

Jay-Z music "hasn't been in the same class as Easy-E,Snoop Dogg, and Ice cube" is the dumbest shit I have read in awhile.Easy-E didn't write the majority of his garbage songs,so comparing his music to Jay is asinine.Ice Cube had some goods songs, but overall he was right to become an actor, he's not on Jay-Zs level.Snoop Dogg has put out as many garbage albums as good ones.Listen to "Tha Bluecarpet treatment", it makes "Kingdom Come" seem like a classic.I'm not going to get into the whole Tupac thing, been down that road too many times.Biggie was great, but Jay-Z is pretty close, lyrically.The Black album with songs like "treat","99 problems" and "lucifer" was garbage?Lil nigga don't know much about music these days.Then you follow up your statement with Jay-Z is famous because he's from NY and claims today HipHop artist are better than Jay, you're example Young Jeezy.I can believe how stupid this is, I feel my brain cells dieing by the minutes.Young Jeezy makes disposable music,the same songs with similar beats and simple and unintelligent lyrics for the young and dumb rap fans, who don't like to think.There is no need to buy his second album if you have his first,because they're one in the same.Ludacris is another one,but now he's trying to throw some variety in his music with that cliche "Runaway Love" track.The song is garbage, but it continuely get more play than, the far better Saigon "Pain in my life" because he has Mary J. on the track.Jay-Z is light years ahead of Ludacris lyrically, so to say otherwise is either, a lack of intelligences or a lack of knowledge in Hip Hop.
fuck gay z that nigga ol nd washed up all he tracks he tlkin bout tha same ol shit
First and formost Evil_Dre
Jay is from the streets thats true but he forgot about the streets when he got MONEY.
When you get millions in sum cases many loses their minds like the power of money.
The thing with Beyonce was the money and such Jay couldnt handle it (Lost Ones song)
Your reference to Dame partying all the time lol i havtn heard about that tho.
Dame was with Jay since the beginning of Rocafella then Jay turned on him because of money shit.
"Easy-E didn't write the majority of his garbage songs,so comparing his music to Jay is asinine"
That sum bullshit now you gonna talk about ghostwriting?
Jay uses ghostwritings for the record
Dudes from Junior Mafia ghostwrighted shit for him so what tha fuck u talkin about?
Who the fuck is you to say Easy-E has garbage songs? Thats sum bullshit yo.
Onlinedot, you need fact to back up you statement.How would you know if jay "forgot about the streets when he got MONEY".You bring up "lost ones" as proof Jay-Z turn on beyounce, it's obvious you don't know what "turned on" means.If you don't know about Dames partying, you really don't know much about the Jay-Z/Dame situation, do you."Dame was with Jay since the beginning of Rocafella then Jay turned on him because of money shit",so what.What kind of intelligent person is going to let another man, mess up his money, just because they're friends.They're dudes who would kill a niggas for the same shit.
"Easy-E didn't write the majority of his garbage songs,so comparing his music to Jay is asinine"
That sum bullshit now you gonna talk about ghostwriting?
Jay uses ghostwritings for the record
Dudes from Junior Mafia ghostwrighted shit for him so what tha fuck u talkin about?
Who the fuck is you to say Easy-E has garbage songs? Thats sum bullshit yo.
Now this really shows your ignorants.Everyone knows Ice Cube wrote Eazys lyrics for "Boyz-N-The-Hood.Ice Cube,MC Ren and D.O.C. wrote the lyrics for Eazy's first songs off his solo album "Eazy-Duz-It".This is common HipHop knowledge, anyone who knows anything about hip hop knows this."Jay uses ghostwritings for the record", what idiot,that sentences doesn't make sense."Dudes from Junior Mafia ghostwrighted shit for him so what tha fuck u talkin about", now you just pulling shit out of your ass because you don't have any legitimate to say against Jay.
Who the fuck is you to say Easy-E has garbage songs? Thats sum bullshit yo.
Alright, this proves it, I'm arguing with a 13 year old, I can't believe I didn't see it earlier.Hey little nigga, cartoons should be on in a few minutes, go watch some, you feel better afterward.
evil_dre i can't belive that u think jay-z is better lyrical than luda. u must be a 13 year old. out of todays artist luda, EM, outkast, mos def, talib kweli, common....the list goes on are better lyrically than jay-z. but hip hop isn't all about lyrics its about being versitile and thats something jay hasn't been since the blue print 2. now like i said before he's a hustler no doubt he's getting crazy paper and i can't hate on that but to be called "the best rapper alive" thats an overstatement.
Treach from Naughty By Nature also wrote a few songs on Eazy E's last album before he died. Eazy E was definitely known for buying lyrics. I'm not sure where Onlinedot is getting his info but it's amusing.
This too funny, people say jay talk bout the same stuff on every track. Well how can you like eminem, or lil wayne or jeezy? Em is gonna mention kim on every track, wayne is gonna mention those mysterious bricks he was flippin, and jeezy gonna talk bout trappin......people hate on jay so much they don't realize he the reason they fav rapper do the things they do. People keep saying he washed up and he not hood anymore. Understand this please......Rap is supposed to be about telling a story, sending a message, about your life. He is not living the life he once was so of course his music is changing. All you lames wanna hear is a catchy beat, and drug tales, and stories of shootouts. The prelude on the kingdom come cd, was better than any rap song I've heard in a long time.
evil_dre i can't belive that u think jay-z is better lyrical than luda. u must be a 13 year old
Lmao, nigga is repeating my lines.You made a list, but it's a joke.I can pick your entire paragraph apart, but I'm tired of doing that on this site,so I'll let your ridiculousness stand.And I forgot about treach ghoshwriting for Eazy-E, it's easy(pardon the pun) to do so, there were so many.
AMJ c'mon now be real with yourself the kingdom come album is not hott i don't classify 4 hott tracks a hot album. and you're right a lot of people listen to music for the beats, and i'm guilty of it too but i also listen to music for the content and the lyrics and jay just don't have it anymore. i'm not saying that he is garbage all i'm saying is that he's not the best rapper alive. he's not even close!!!!!
wayne is gonna mention those mysterious bricks he was flippin, Lmao
And Kingdom Come is only mediocre compare to Jay-Z other albums.Compared to the garbage that is out now, it's a classic. 50 Cent said it best(i can't believe i'm quoting 50), Jay-Z is not competing with the nigga out today, he's competing with himself.
Kingdom Come reminds me of Reasonable Doubt. I say this because my own crew was not feeling Reasonable Doubt when it first popped off because they thought he was on some flamboyant shit...I kept telling them cats to listen to what he's talking about...A couple of months later those same niggas was praising the album. The lyrical content and subject matter of Kingdom Come is unmatched by any of those cats you have mentioned ashton1521.
amj is correct indeed. That prelude was sick and definitely better than 90% of the tracks that came out last year. And Evil Dre's quote on 50 is correct also, the album may not be better than let's say "The blueprint", but what album that came out in 2006 is better? jim jones? like father like son? the game? c'mon...
"A & R's happy , feelin' like Moss in the draft,
So I turned the leeeague out with reasonable doubt!
Get ya cd's out! let's go, song for song.
I'm the illest nigga doin' it till ya prove me wrong"
Ashton1521 you say you look for lyrical content but you say you think J doesnt have it anymore....with a comment like "he doesnt have it anymore" makes me believe that you listened to some of his past albums....if thats true then how can you say he doesnt have it anymore?? his lyrics are just as dope as they used to be, but hes on a different level....hes not in the street hustlin, he in the corporate world so he cant talk bout clappin at a nigga or slangin k's....thats the thing about J hes growing up now, the nigga is still on point with the lyrics, maybe not the delivery we are used to, but his lyrics are still on point....Im curious to ask you if you dont think J is lyrical enough for you, who you fuckin with?? If you say Lil Wayne ima jump through this computer and punch you in the fuckin face!! YALL NIGGAS STOP COMPARING LIL WAYNE TO JIGGA!! YOU PART TIME NIGGAS NEED TO KNOW HOW TO SEPARATE THESE RAPPERS INTO THEIR RESPECTIVE LEVELS OF LYRICAL ABILITY AND CONTENT!! THESE ARE THE ONLY NIGGAS THAT CAN BE MENTIONED WITH J IN ONE SENTENCE:
NAS, BIGGIE, PAC, RAKIM, KRS ONE, BIG L
-nobody else, now heres the next level of lyricists
JADAKISS, STYLES P, FABOLOUS, LUDACRIS, LLOYD BANKS, TI, RAEKWON
-now heres the next lower level
GAME, LIL WAYNE, FAT JOE, 50 CENT, 40 CAL
-heres the last level of absolute garbage
JIM JONES, D4L, DEM FRANCHISE BOYS, RICK ROSS, JIBBS, YUNG JOC, YUNG DRO, LIL BOOSIE
niggas need to distinguish the elite from the garbage, Id like to see what yall think about whos on what level with whom....any you niggas put Jim Jones on the level with Jigga are part time rap niggas, stick with that new Ashlee Simpson album, I heard its bangin.....lol
lol@ puttin fat joe with wayne. haha. yall dudes really don't like wayne on here. lol
"fuck me? fuck you! wit it is, wut it do!
I've been ready since 81' and I was born in 82!
hollygrove where i'm from, but we call that bitch the Zoo!
I ain't trust ah bitch since, she ate that forbiddin' fruit!" - spit yo game freestyle / Weezy
c'mon now...
we like wayne, we dont like niggas overr-exaggerating his lyrical abilities...too many niggas on this site who started listening to rap after 2000 cause they were born in the 90's....if you were born in the 90's then you have no history when it comes to hiphop, you cant unless you were bumpin Illmatic when you were 4 or Reasonable Doubt when you were 6....lol....I think the youngins are jumpin on the bandwagon, we gotta stop that shit and look at these rappers in an objective manner, without personal preference....in all honestly you could probably put Jadakiss in the top list with Biggie and Pac and Jadakiss has always been nice but ever since Interscope fucked him over with his beef with 50, we aint really heard from em, but hes definately one of the nicest mcs NY got.....

dats fuckin bullshit. if u kno hip hop it dont matta when ur ass was born. ur ears and ur interpretin skills have nothin to do wit wat year u was born. and im sick in tired niggas blamin 50 for jada and them problems. lets start wit one fact, they dont sell reocrds. niggas think cuz 50 said he was gonna push styles album back, dats what tha reason why it was. please. their "beef" wasnt even dat serious. styles should have came back out in 04' dats long enough. two years from gangsta and gentleman is long enough. niggas always wanna mention 50 name when things go wrong. 50 right yall niggas need to stop hollerin his name, lol
wayne is nice but i dont give him dat much props bc i do believe his shit came from gillie. im sorry niggas back in 98, 99, 2000, 2001, 2002. we wouldnt even be mention wayne name. now all of sudden he supa nice. YALL NIGGAS NEED TO LOOK AT THA WHOLE PIC
Word to mutha makaveli, when did Lil Wayne out of nowhere become the best rapper alive? Wat classic album has he made? How did he change hip hop? Jus cause a nigga from the south got a little talent don't mean he the hip hop savior. IF U UNDER 18 U SHOULDN'T MENTION JAY-Z AND WEEZY IN THE SAME SENTENCE. YALL NIGGAS WAS IN DIAPERS WHEN REASONABLE DOUBT DROPPED.
to answer mj and makaveli. for you to say you can't mention wayne simply because you weren't up on reasonable doubt, that's like saying YOu can't think Jordan was better than Dr. J? old heads would've been like, "YOu didn't see Dr. J play, so your opinion ain't worth shit!
I'm not saying he better than J. simply because he hasn't sold enough records or had classic "albums". but man, he's the hottest out PERIOD! you can hate all you want but the "Dedication, Dedication 2,and Lil WeezyAna are great mixtapes! Track for track I haven't heard a mixtape better than Dedication 2. And the Carter 2 was a good album also. And ALL of these were AFTER Gillie was gone!(since he "supposably" ghostwrote the Carter 1." which I doubt) .
Man cant no one touch Jay to this day and if you think other wise you just an ignant foo who is stuck on theirs closed mind ways.... he created an empire out the trunk of his car.... his only promotion was his lyrics.... not big time record contracts or big time excecutives.....

i neva said dat i dont know wat u talkin bout lol. now see dats my point exact -

yea as u see tha carter 2 was nowhere near tha carter 1. u cant give me an album from weezy in 98 99 2000 20001 2002. u feel me. everything u named was from 2004 and up. if weezy da hottest out, why havent carter 2 or father like son shit gone double plat. u might think dat cuz he say it so many times and he appear on niggas records (rap) dats not relevant a
