“My main objective was to show that I’m a lyricist to be taken seriously; not just with the lyrics but with wordplay and every other element that comes with MC’ing, like being clever, witty, and versatile.”
Guaranteed Hit: Defsounds chops it up with Nino Bless, one of the most promising up-and-comers we heard this year.
COMMENTS
jay-z is my man, hes smart on that level of how he can think and put words to track, still a living king
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.
no ur not!!!!
floojoe is just a dumn ass
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?
"i used to run with dude"
After that line, you're opinion became nothing more then a retards ramble.
Thank you Evil Dre....hahahaha
Jay's Hova for a reason. The right rapper to learn from.

"You know how someone says a line and you could guess the next one?"
Of course... that's like 95% of rappers...
~Be eazy!
i like to listen to niggas like him and nas in interviews they show a true intelligent black man always leave me thinking when they talk
Best Rapper to ever do it! ENOUGH SAID!
im sorry that would be NAS. ill give jayz 3rd place or 4th.
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"
thats the best thing about jay-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 reasonable doubt and pick up shit thats what makes music timeless listening to it millions of times and still it leaves you guessing you say a line you think about it and your like damn thhis is what he means or maybe its this rap music today is becoming to dull people can say what they want about nas and hove how the fell off but theyve been around for a generation above us and we're still dumping there shit, 10years from now i highly doubt many of the rappers we're fucking with now will be around besides kanye, mos, talib, luda, jeezy, clipse, maybe wayne and some others "dreams of being hova went from being a broke man,to being a dope man to being a president look theres hope man"
Damn this nigga aint your average rapper
there aint never gonna be a rapper as nice as he
BEST RAPPER ALIVE
I THINK I NEED GO GO BACK AND LISTEN TO ALL THE CLASSIC JIGGA ALBUM AND TRY TO LISTEN OUT 4 THIS HIDDEN BARS THAT THE NIGGA BE SPITTIN
Is this thing on You Tube yet?
best rapper alive
Can I say Reasonable Doubt Anybody? The Rappers Make Songs off of lines that he spit ten years ago.
n niggas could dare mention his n waynes name in da same breath i bet mos of ya aint kno he was talkin bout wayne wen he said "Money ova broads u got it fuck bush" its hard 2 understand dats cuz da main is a master mind so all u niggas callin him grandpa dats a compliment cuz the older u r da wiser u become
Jay Z one of the best
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
i agree wit u dogg but wat da fuck do you mean an okay writing skill. 2pac a legend and probably one of the best if not the best and u sayin "err.. Activist with a okay writing skill" u probably listen to his shit that came out after he died. shit u fuckin retarded
Uhhh no, im actually a pac fan, but i dont dick ride him like u so i can clearly see hes not the best lyricist.
Nas is the greatest he has all that rite there what you just mentioned except that latino part.
I dont with u on him being the best but hes sure not Latino. lls
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.
O and i can say that i didnt respect Pac as a Gangsta rapper. I only acknowledge his conscious lyrics and social commentary which made him Hip Hop's Activist. So yall can trash me for disagreein with yall. bitches!
Biggie had a lot of his shit written for him.. aka Juicy, Playaz Anthem... dont take this the wrong way R.I.P B.I.G.
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
jay is da fuckin best i still listen 2 REASONABLE DOUBT
THE BLACK ALBUM EVERY ALBUM HE PUT OUT JAY WUS B4 HIS TIME 4 REAL
co sign philly rap
Uhhh no, im actually a pac fan, but i dont dick ride him like u so i can clearly see hes not the best lyricist.
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 fux wit jay...but the first shot off that nigga had my stomach squirming....dat nigga ugly as hell...lol NO MO...philly stand up.
Dude, HipHop aint about preety boiz, its about music
DMX 2008 ALBUM IS HOT MAN YOU MOST LISSEN TO THE ALBUM MAN AND HIS BLOODLINE RECORDS IS BIGGER IN 2008 TELL ON THE NET
JAY-Z SACRIFICED HIS SELF SO HE CAN GIVE BACK TO HIS MUM LIKE MOST ARTIST DO
BUT JAY-Z'S SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW TIMES MONEY SO EVERYTHING PUT TOGETHER THAT MAKES HIM THE HOVA THE GOD OF HIP HOP THATS STILL ALIVE, HE DONT WANNA BE RICH HE WANTS TO HAVE MONEY
AND HE'S GOT MORE OF IT BY PLAYING THE GAME
IN OTHER WORDS BLACK MAN DONT RUN NOTHING IN THIS WORLD
SO YOU GOTTA PLAY THE GAME
SO HE'S IN ON EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE
DASH WAS ALL ABOUT FLOSSING JAY WAS ALL ABOUT GETTING WEALTHY
TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK
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!

"they say if u love it u should let its out its cage and fuck it if it comes back u know its there to stay"
jay-z is the goat who the fuck can touch him
Jay The Hardest!!!!
jay-z is sick
word play is talent that doesn't dimenish so anything Jay puts out is gonna be relevent cause he can speak on any subject matter. I'm from the south but i show love to all music the dude has a talent that will remain but he's a 40 year old in a kids market....
so means u guys didnt really get those lines? lol. d
iight but the dude Jay is a genius when it comes to lyrics...
its so true what he says, sometimes lyrics just click later. thats why i love jay, that happens to me when i listen to him. no matter how many times i listen to his tracks i always find something new, something clever. hes not just an amazing MC, hes an intellectual.
the Master of the Double Entendre should have picked up on what roc-a-fella sound like
jay-z is too real, if any1 does'nt feel him then ur either an extreme hater or ur jus not on his level quite yet
