Hova is so real! "Sarcasm" The Miles Davis comment he made from 1:40- 1:51 was so wrong Miles played the Trumpet not the piano high hahaha!!! How real is that - Hova Line! F.Y.I. he might of been refering to Thelonius Monk! Oh Yeah and for real Master of entendre's Ya'll should be well aware of or check out Chino Xl... That's word play to the umph degree... Shoot Even r.i.p. Big L is on some lyrical ahead of its time "real" entendre monster. Not Jay as much anymore sorry after the black out album his carrer hasn't been in the right limelight! He should of retired while he has ahead!

Get it right Frank White he said nothing about Miles Davis playing the piano. As a matter of fact he didn't even mention an instrument.

lol...jay got a lot of bubbleheads fooled, i used to run with dude..he has like 100 lyrics in his head as does most artists , so when he hears a track he just uses stuff he had allready and switches the slang to update it...cleaver dude tho...plus he usually steals the first 4 to 6 lines from other rappers and fills in the rest..its been like what 12 albums and all have been pretty much about the same shyt?...i'm not hatting but thats food for thought..AG could've been a SICK cd but its nothing creative about it, just good lyrics over some decent tracks, nothing original, where's the concept?..i know the hate will come but just think about it..jay is still and tight mc/rapper but after you've been out for 12 years and toured the world 50 times, your creativivty should be ILL!!...1

bigtonebx**I feel what u sayin about holdin on to rhymes so i aint about to argue wit u about Jay's creativity or go back and forth callin u hater or none of that shit but, Did u hear Jay's line off Beans song 'Gutted'? "your salary, is like celery, we eatin over here, nigga you like salad to me....." and he goes on. Not that that's the most clever line he's ever said but the shit that comes off the top is wild. And I think that's what great about him because it comes so easy to him and its normally some complex shit that go over some people's heads. What u think?

thats the best thing about hay-z he really is an intelligent black man, what he said about guessing rappers lines before they even say it is real talk with hov he hits you with shit that you needa think about even today i listen to blueprint and pick up shit thats what makes music timeless listening to it millions of times and still picking shit up months/years after its been out from the "dreams of being hova went from being a broke man,to being a dope man to being a president look theres hope man"

So each legendary rapper made their mark.
Biggie: legendary flow and detailed lyrical content
Pac: err... Activist with a "okay" writing skill
Pun: best latino rapper ever (Fat Joe sucks)
Big L: Punchline champion
Jay-Z: Master of the Double Entendre; Consistency
Nas: Best Storyteller/ Writer

Pac was nice right? He's one of my favorites, Although he was a great rapper, I think him and Biggie got more props because they passed. He got a gang of albums but most of them are different mixes of the same songs that's been out there. But what makes Pac different than Nas? What makes Biggie different than Jay?

"An Okay writing skilk" U disgust me, what ground u standin on wen u say that, re-arrange ur list cuz pac will be on top, simply because the dude was tha best EVER, man he connected with the ghetto, the people's champ, Now thats what I call a role model....Oh and btw, Jay, I cudnt choose between American Gangster or Blueprint, American Gangster has to be a classic, but your best classic ever is probably The Black Album, It has more soul in your lyrics(2pac style)

I put a emphasis on his "writing skill' bcuz Pac aint the best lyricist of dat group. DAT group. Yea, we all kno dat nigga got a legacy and shit, but u got to admit, his lyrics veered off sometimes. Yall tryna "skool" me like i aint a hiphop head.

Jay is the black republican man. But he still so real when he talks. That shit he said about pickin up lines later is no lie, I been feelin that effect from reasonable doubt, the blueprint, Illmatic, all great albums. I bet he gets mad high when he gets in the studio too! Like Miles Davis haha

i've always been fond of artists like Jay who can pull the double entendre and metaphores or what have you
it shows a stretch in lyrical ability it forces the listener to raise up a level instead of, like lupe says "dumb it down"

I really dont understand what happen with the whole "whats real hip hop" movement thats goin on now. Im from jersey, grew up half my life in Camden, and half my life down south in Houston texas, and from my life experiences i think we all fell off track with what Hip Hop is, Hip Hop is all, its how you live, its rap, its poetry, its ya brother out on the corner, its ya drunken dad, its a good birthday present, its ya first child, its being rich, its being poor, its negativity, its positivity, its happiness and its anger, frustration and humbleness, its ya favorite dish at a 5 star restaurant, its ya mac-n-cheese and ya ramon noodles, its ya hatin niggaz and da niggaz dat love ya. Hip Hop is life, and we all need to stop arguing over if its dead or alive, everything in the universe changes, things die everyday, and new things are born, nothing stays the same, Hip Hop dies in the eyes of a man that is dead!
