Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ
He’s just nice, he just slice like a ginnsu
Look at the life that I been through
I’m the last real nigga alive, that’s official


Y’all don’t know about my Biggie wars
Who you thought ‘Kick In The Door’ was for?
But that’s my heart, y’all still trippin of this Jigga shit
Real niggaz listen up and I’ma tell you how the whole thing start
Off top I brung Queens up from hard times
Rockin at the Fever, streets was all mine
It was my version of the blues, droppin our schools
The crack epidemic had rap representin new rules
So I, got in ‘em shoes, tried ’em wore them
Wasn’t a perfect fit, so I couldn’t sport em
Young murderers ride, I knew all them
Jungle got shot, Will died, we was warring
I wrote it in my album
I was 18 when Lake seen the Island
And Lord held me down and
My surroundings started changing
I had a baby, I was making my rounds with AZ
Niggaz started noticing my flow and was open when
The Golden Child closed ‘em in with more style than them older men
Puff tried to start a label, Prince Rakeem had formed Wu-Tang
Snoop and Dre had a new thang
So Puff drove his new Range through Queensbridge Projects
He let me drive it, before Ready to Die hit
BIG and I hit blunts performing at the Arc
Next thing you knew, BIG blew and all the balling starts
He had Kim and his crew, I found Fox
Only niggaz in New York with number one charts
B.I.G. was ahead of his time, him and Raekwon my niggaz
But dig it, they couldn’t get along
That’s when Ghostface said it on the Purple tape
Bad Boy biting Nas album cover way(?)
BIG told me Rae was stealing my slang
And Rae told me out in Shaolin BIG would do the same thing
But I borrowed from both them niggaz
Jigga started to flow like us, but hit with ’Ain’t No Niggaz’
Had much Versace swagger
B.I.G. admired the Brooklyn knight and it took him in as Iceberg the rapper
Today don’t know nothing, about this bullshit
There’s more shit than wanting to be this King of New York shit

Rap became a version of Malcom and Martin
Rest In Peace Will, Queensbridge live on
There’s some ghetto secrets I can’t rhyme in this song
There’s some missing pieces I had to leave out
I had lot trust for Steve Stoute
At some point till I got to know him
We old friends, but what’s loyal?
Puff soaked Interscope offices
With champagne bottles on Steve, and Steve thought the drama is on me
Cause previously it would have been, against whoever
Friends forever
However, I learn, with some niggaz it’s all business
But I’m a street dude with morals
To diss niggaz with Jigga too much, he used to say Jay wanted my spot
I laughed, stayed home, never hung a lot
A quiet man who used to be alone planning
Baby moms thought I was too quiet, couldn’t stand it
She hit the streets, later on she hittin the sheets
With a rapper who wanted me on his songs, thinking he strong
I taught her how to watch for cars that might follow
Tauht her street shit that I know
Her weakness was shine yo
But that’s her, I ain’t mad baby, it made me stronger
Now I get my paper longer
Illmatic I was boss
It Was Written I flossed
One of the most creative LPs ever to hit stores
In the Firm I learned I am Nastradamus
QB’s Finest, Oochie Wally, faced more problems
I gave it all up so I can chill at home with mama
She was getting old and sick so I stayed beside her
We had the best times, she asked would I make more songs
I told her not till I see her health get more strong
In the middle of that, Jay tried to sneak attack
Assasinate my character, degrade my hood
Cause in order for him to be the Don, Nas had to go
The Gam-B-I-N-O rules I understood
What you want, see, I already had
The Gift and The Curse? Fuck that shit, the first shall be last
I’m the man’s man, a rapper’s rapper
G-O-D S-O-N, they’ll be none after
I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo
It hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo..

ya i feel the same way.. whether i was a fan of 50 or not.. i wouldnt bother copin his album cause half the songs’ve already been all over the internet.. and i doubt hes gonna have n e thing better than the million singles hes already come out with…
kanye did okay tho… he didnt put out as many.. so buyin his album wont feel like as much of a mistake as gettin Curtis…
actually theres no way Ye’s album will feel like a mistake to buy at all.. its gonna be classic.. this track proves it…

People gonna hate 50 all day, just because he’s on top. Kanye’s straight fire no doubt, he puts out all types of songs but the funny thing is, so does 50. How come no one cuts Ye for singing, damn near every song that has recently been released off graduation has a verse or few bars with singing. 50 grew up in the hood and his music reflected that, Ye grew up in the suburbs and his music reflects that lifestyle. How you gonna hate on 50 for gettin rich with rugged rap, touring the globe and adopting new ideas and perspectives because of those experiences. Damn man i see so much hate on this site and for once i’d like to see y’all back it up.

Kanye West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, where he lived with both of his parents. When he was eleven years old his parents divorced, and he and his mother moved to Chicago, Illinois. His father was Ray West, a former Black Panther who was one of the first black photojournalists at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and is now a Christian counselor.2 Kanye’s mother, Dr. Donda West, worked as the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as Kanye’s manager. He was raised in an UPPER MIDDLE class background, attending Polaris High School3 in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois.4

If Ye’ aint one of the best then who is? 50 is nice and GRODT is a classic album but Ye’ is better skills wise then 50 all around and um, he’s not too bad of a producer either. Thats like comparing Michael Redd to LeBron, Michael Redd can get u 30 or so a night but LeBron can get 30pts 8 rebs and 7 ast. See where I’m coming from? That song goes up there with some of the best ever. Period.

Oh please, dudes try hard to be “different” by saying they listen to “lyrical” shit. Then they go out on other genres of music like they know what they’re talking about.

Music and rap are inconsistent variables, don’t go go actin’ like one type of it is better than another, and this song should be more lyrical or more gangsta. Rap is based on relation and feel. You can relate to Ye’s lyrical content, feel Fif’s gangsta content, or vice-versa. Don’t get your biased opinion twisted with what’s real. The fact that lyrical level is not proportional to musical level.

Kanye Crushes 50 Cent In Huge Album Sales Week
Kanye West

September 18, 2007, 8:35 PM ET

Geoff Mayfield, L.A.
Kanye West’s “Graduation” (Def Jam) easily leads the star-studded class of Sept. 11 releases, posting The Billboard 200’s largest sales total in more than two years. Nielsen SoundScan will show West’s album moved 957,000 during its first six days when the tracking service refreshes its charts tomorrow morning (Sept. 19).

Also pumping album volume are 50 Cent’s “Curtis” (G-Unit/Interscope), which will lock down the No. 2 slot with 691,000 sold. Kenny Chesney’s “Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates” (BNA/Sony BMG Nashville) will bow at No. 3 with 387,000 copies.

The total for West’s “Graduation” is the largest by any album since 50 Cent’s “The Massacre” opened with 1.1 million copies in March 2005. West’s own August 2005 album, “Late Registration,” was the last album to surpass 800,000 copies when it began with 860,000.

While West beats 50 Cent in the celebrated clash between rappers, the real winners are music merchants. With the “High School Musical 2” soundtrack at No. 4 selling 133,000 copies, the top four titles alone account for 2.2 million units, more than all titles combined on last week’s entire Billboard 200.

West’s new album ranks 15th among all sales weeks since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking in 1991. The double punch provided by “Graduation” and “Curtis” also marks just the second time in that era that two albums have bowed in the same week with totals surpassing 600,000 copies.


The last such occasion was in September 1991, when Guns N’ Roses’ “Use Your Illusion II” led The Billboard 200 with 770,000 copies in the same week that the band’s companion album “Use Your Illusion I” bowed at No. 2 with 685,000, a pair of numbers now beaten by West and 50’s totals.

“Graduation” also rings up the largest week yet by a digital album download, starting with 133,000, beating the prior record of 102,000, set earlier this year by Maroon 5’s “It Won’t Be Soon Before Long.”

50 Cent and Chesney will occupy the same ranks on Top Digital Albums as they do on The Billboard 200, the former with 58,000 downloads and Chesney’s with 36,000. Nielsen SoundScan has been tracking digital sales since midway through 2003.

Chesney’s overall total of 387,000 copies marks the largest sales week for a country album since the May 2006 arrival of Dixie Chicks’ “Taking the Long Way,” which opened at 526,000 copies.
