SHOW JAY WHATCHA’ GOT!

Friday, October 6, 2006

hov.jpg

Jay-Z is out of retirement and has returned with his new single, “Show Me What You Got.” I really love the production, I haven’t decided whether or not I like the song or not. I have to listen to Jay-Z’s verses more than a few times to decide whether or not I like them. But I’m a Jay-Z fan. I’m hoping that has album is up to par, because people have been saying that he’s trying to hard recently. I’m not sure what I think yet, but I’d love what you guys have to say about the single. I will form my opinion later, so I’d like to hear what you guys have to say.

I heard the song while driving home today. I don’t care for it to much. I hope he comes out with some records that sound like his older stuff. Because that’s really what I want to hear from him.

I’m not feeling that one. I haven’t really cared much for Jay’s music since Blueprint #1 with the exception of a couple of songs. I like the old Jay-Z style better.

Lol, I can already tell I’ma just get pissed off in this post, so I’ma say my piece and me out.

Song is HOT. He came totally different with it. What song on the radio sounds like this? What rap artist has a joint out that is so different like this? Totally has a grown and sexy feel, and it’s something you can dance to.

The saxophone by Chad Hugo… the Wrecks N Effects sample. The Public Enemy sample. The drums. And the flow.

Sorry… but this song is hot, and you might not appreciate it now, but you will.

And it will be a number 1 song.

Yup!

Don’t too much care for any of Jay-Z songs. The only one I really cared for was “Song Cry”.

I can’t see ‘em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry
I can’t see ‘em comin down my eyes
So I gotta make the song cry

Good dudes - I know you love me like cooked food
Even though a nigga got move like a crook move
We was together on the block since we lunch
We shoulda been together havin 4 Seasons brunch
We used to use umbrellas to face the bad weather
So now we travel first class to change the forecast

That was my $hit right there.

OH BY THE BY…THIS SONG SOUNDS LIKE HOT GARBAGE! WHY THE HELL DID HE DO “RUMP SHAKERS” BEAT IN THE BEGINING? IT DIDN’T EVEN GO WITH THE SONG……WACK WITH A CAPITAL W.

I hope he doesn’t put this on his new album.

19.

what you know about that

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

it’s funny, this song isn’t great but it will blow up just because it’s him…kinda like some of the stuff his girl has put out recently. i like her new song/video though, I must say.

20.

Ja' Net pronounced Jah-Neh

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

Sound like a song leftover from the Black Album. It’s A’ight though.

21.

what you know about that

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

also, based on # 15’s comment, i just remembered how it’s also funny that jay z has some serious male stans while his girl has some serious female stans…they really do have so much in common. people can’t stand an unfavoring opinion about them.

Wow Jay is my nigga but I’m not feeling this song at all. Hopefully it will grow on me.

I’m listening to it again, the first time it kept “stutting”(skipping)….anyway,so far I love the lyrics;no surprise there. Right now,at this moment…I will have to hear this track a few more times,to really give a heartfelt comment.I saved it so my husband can hear it. He loves whatever Jay-Z puts out. Someone did mention on a post above,that it sounds like a “leftover”- I will have to agree with that statement. ***But I’m sure he”ll have some heat,for the winter(that’s what he said) so I’ll keep waiting…………****RUBBING HANDS TOGETHER****

I like this. I bet Questlove is on drumbs.

I love to here really good live instrumentation with Rap.

SoopDawg

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

Sesamestreet the sample is from a Public Enemy song called “Show Em’ Whatcha Got”. N2Deep and Wrecks n Effect used this too. I’m loving this song it could because it uses real instruments. It reminds me of “Encore” which was my summer jam last year.

28.

RC

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

The beat is hot. Although I’m typically a sucker for horns and percussion. I’ll have to give the lyrics a couple of listens to really like the song, but I’m feeling it a bit after the first and second listens.

“Shots of Patrón/ Now she in the zone/ I ain’t talking about the two-three/ Mami in the zone like the homie 23/ Jordan or James/ Makes no difference/ We all ballin’ the same.”

Wack, nothin new. Same ole dry lyrics “Mike Jordan of blah blah”. Sampled Wrecks N Effect’s “Rump Shaker” which is a sample in itself.

When MJ came out of retirement he dropped 55 on the Knicks 1st game. This nigga comes outta retirement and drops shit in a toilet bowel ist single. Stll that dude though. Im sure the album will have some shit, it better.

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

HUGE Jay-Z fan, but since Blueprint #1, he has been dropin shit I don’t really like which is not good because I am one of his only ORIGIONAL fans in Los Angeles County LOL!!!

I think after BLUEPRINT, he got very comfortable and rich and stopped tryin. Or is it that he and his girlfriend are really good with the Smoke and Mirrors act and were never really all that good in the first place? I don’t know but what they have been droppin’ lately is a bunch of BULLSHIT (except for Beyonce’s latest white girl POP single that I am kind of feelin’).

But everyone must get a reality call eventually!! What ever happened to superstars like Michael, Janet and Madonna who travel the world, she whats new and incorporate different styles to their music, and only put out an new album every 3-4 years instead of this rushed SHIT everyone is feeding us now?

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

oh yeah…i can rock to this real nice w/ a little drink in my hand. It didn’t blow me away, but he’s proven himself for umpteen albums so I’ll give his album the benefit of the doubt. I hope there’s no Beyonce features on his album…it think those two make each others songs terrible.

It prolly would make a difference if he really did “retire”. He’s been on everybodys music since he left. And being gone for 2 yrs is not a retirement, it’s a vacation! I never was a Jay-Z fan. I liked Nas’ flow more. Has better metaphors.

58.

Mr.O

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

omg its so hot did you hear the horn when the beat drops?? His flow is so effortless when the bass hits you can feel the insouciance. The song feels right and its fun, I’m loving this one. Jay-Z is the best MC ever period, I said it.

59.

for everyone saying they don’t like, wait until the video comes out and it is killed on the radio

I love the trak. It’s diffrent from anything that out there and it’s also has an ol’skool vibe to it.

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

Nas got more deep lyrics but his flow doesnt compare to jigga’s at all, nas sounds like hes gasping for breath whenever he “attempts to switch flows. im not sayin he aint nice, hes one of the best ever

but when u talkin bout versatility…can rhyme on almost any beat, has the ability to go deep or make a feel good club banger..that is HOV…

no im not a stan…just my taste…Nas is nice as hell ..hes flow is boring at time…but he can hit u with intellectual lyrics and wordplay..but HIPHOP is way more than that. For this reason hes kinda one dimensional…he doesnt pull off club bangers well..His style is one thing…hes a poet…dont expect non else..

BashyBoo Number 48, stop hating on the DIRTY SOUTH, FOR YOUR MAMA’S MAMA PROBALLY CAME FROM HERE. THIS IS ABOUT JAYZ’S REVIEW.
DOES ANYONE THINK HE WOULD REPEAT HIMSELF, BY SAYING “MICHAEL JORDAM OF RECORDING”, AND NOT KNOW?
HE KNOWS, AND HAS EVERY RIGHT TO, FOR MIKE JONES SAYS HIS NAME 100 TIMES ON A TRACK, WHO?

I THINK HE IS ATTACKING THE RAP GAME AT A DIFFERENT ANGLE, BUT IF YOU NOTICED HE SAID “GIVE THE DRUMMER SOME, I ALREADY GAVE THE SUMMER SOME , ITS THE WINTERS TURN”.
IF YOU FOLLOW MUSIC, THEN YOU WOULD KNOW HE HAD THE TRACK “DEAR SUMMER”, AND THAT WAS A FREESTYLE TRACK ON HOT 97 IN NEW YORK, WHICH HE LATER RELEASED ON MIX CDS SINCE THE OTHER DJS WERE BOOTLEGGING IT.
JAY IS FULL OF SURPRISES AND WHEN HE SAID “THIS IS A STATE OF EMERGENCY” AND “YOU GOT 2 MONTHS, GOOD LUCK”, THATS SIMPLY A WARNING TRACK TO OTHER MCS AND LISTENERS.

OVER ALL, IT IS STILL, FOR THE GROWN AND SEXY, AND I BET THE CD WILL BE IN EVERYONES COLLECTION.
AND I WILL SAY, I BET IT BECOMES NUMBER 1, THE ALBUM THAT IS.

63.

Ione

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

Not really a Jay-Z fan more a Nas fan but the song is cool, it will grow on me. I’m sure the video will make the song more hot then anything.

64.

MissTee2U

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

He’s had way better beats and way better lyrics…I’m no stan but I appreciate his lyrical skills. This sounds very much like stuff he’s already done and is no longer exciting. The beat’s not even that hot. When you set the bar high, people expect it to stay that way.
But as I’ve said before Jigga’s stans especially the male ones, are above and beyond anyone else’s.

65.

XcuseMeMiss86

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

I like, but wtf? I kept thinking “Romp Shaker.” It prolly going to blow up tho! It’s a breath of fresh air cuz songs were starting to sound the same. I agree with 15, it does has a grown and sexy feel.

66.

Mark (South Side Chi)

Friday, October 6, 2006 /

This shit is garbage, real niggas who listen to hip hop know whats up. Jay is one of the best in the game and this aint up to par. its trash. fuck it. fuck this bullshit ass pop filled track. nigga need to take it back to where he started at.

67.

It’s a good thing he already got that paper and makes music just because he loves hiphop.
