BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HATE JAY Z AND HIS DEVIL MUSIC

Womp womp

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.

This is Good but could be better. Better than 99% of the bullshit on the radio.

2nd??
Anywho i like it…

LOL WELL THIRD AIN’T BAD…DAMN I NEED TO GET A LIFE!

It’s okay? Not what I expected from jayz though sounds like he just learning how to rap.

LOL NEITHER IS 7TH

OR NINTH

LMAO I’M TOO STUPID TODAY! MUST BE ALL THE WORK THEY HAVE ME DOING AT MY LOVELY JOB…..

what goes up,must come down im afraid, can’t wait for nas’s album though. sounds kind of ironic

not impressed

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.

Not really feeling it…

And yes, Sesame Street, you do need to get a life lol.

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.

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.

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

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.

This song sound like “what more can I say” I like the beat but it sounds like a repeat

LMAO @HONEYCHILE YOU AIN’T NEVER LIED…

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.

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.

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.”

“I got a drop/ I just took off the top/ It’s your turn.”

i like it..

I like it. I love the instrumentation.

That Texas love is rubbin off on him. “Lil mama and shaw-tey”. That’s what dudes back at home call the ladies.

Not feeling it…He better come hard with his first single cause this track is garbage.

After listening to the first 30 seconds I thought . . . Encore Pt.2
Maybe it’ll grow on me

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.

Booooooooooooooring.

that beat got so much goin on….its hard to flow on it…damn

jigga is goin hard this time tho…i cant wait for the album..

I hope Jay isn’t losing his touch…but this song is lil disappointing. C’mon Jay…

I hope Jay isn’t losing his touch…but this song is lil disappointing. C’mon Jay…

It’s a wack sample. This cat needs to just give the fuck up, because this is wack. Or maybe he should do this and flop, cuz he needs a wake up call.

The album is going to be hott. Cant wait to get my burnt copy. j/k

I’m not impresssed and believe me, I am a huge fan of hov but this doesn’t do it for me.

He on that beyonce booboo lol the background is louder than he is..i can barely hear him.

I ain’t impressesd, but it wont hurt his pockets tho.

And ppl sayin its hot cus its different, yeah right. Nelly did a song with a country singer and he got flack for it.

i love the beat
but wtf is he talking about.
i dont know…

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?

I like it, the horn reminds me of Rump Shaker

Jay Z the secret society corporate controlled hip pop puppet gets no love. The occult symbols are all around his clothing, label & music. Go cop KRS ONE’s LIFE cd. Peace

I like it.

IM READY FOR JAY TO COME BACK IM TIRED OF THIS DIRTAAAY SOUTH BUMPKIN SHIT

Come harder than that Jay…come on, don’t lose your touch

WHEN I HEARD IT WAS JUST BLAZE ON THE PRODUCTION, I THOUGHT IT WAS GONNA BE FIRE. BUT, THEN I WAS DISSAPOINTED.

Honey when you say you’ve retired! You suppose to retire damn bye!

Lol @ 15, i hear u…

But Anyway, i havent listened to it yet and i wont be biased jus cus its jay-z (ima fan), he better not disappoint!!

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.

I am so sick of down south music I’ll TAKE WHAT i CAN GET!

I AM THE MICHAEL JORDAN OF RECORDING…
i love this!

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.

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.

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.

Grade B

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

man, yall are some wack a*s haters!! this is a hot track! he will definitely be back on this one! i swear, if yall aint talkin bad about beyonce, its jay-z! stop hatin!! i love, love, love this song! go el presidente!

jayz is back!

(TRUTHBTOLD NUMBER 72, ALL THE INFO ON WHAT SONGS HE SAMPLED ARE ON THE ALLHIPHOP.COM BREAKING NEWS.)

Another reason why JAY Z is ALL HYPE he seriously needs to sit his overrated asss down. Yeah he has good One-liners but the entire verses are NEVER good.

I like jay-z but I don’t like how he is coming back. This song is alright but it goes all over the place. What the hell is he talking about. Damn just bring nas out and stop hogging all the attention. Nothing good is out right now but that don’t mean we should fall for just anything . Damn that I’m picky.

Thanks Hagler…now maybe people will stop saying it’s Rumpshaker. Know your hiphop people,hell he even left Flav’s voice in the sample.

Tupac Biggie Nas ALL DAY Jay is good but he is by no means as hyped up as some of ya’ll make him to be his lyrics are most of the time crap and like LINDA says none of his entire songs have good verses.

@MARVELOUSHAGLER Thank you.

Any word on the status of Nas’s project?

Damn J michael jordan of recording? hope you mean that in the #23 and not #45. what’s good?

The only people who think Jay is the greatest rapper are those under 21 anyone that knows ANYTHING about rapping where it originated and started knows that Rakim is the best, Jay just Bit off of Biggie’s style who was a far better lyricist than Jay-Z has ever been.

anyone who thinks this will be #1 umm Jay Z has NEVER had a #1 song on the main Billboard charts so I highly doubt it.

They just asked the people of my city do they like and Majority of them hated it.

Jay Z has never had a Number 1 song on the BB main charts and this definitely won’t be it. THere are only a few Jay Z songs I like so to me he is Highly overrated.

I’ve seen a lot of hating on the south. If you don’t like it, nobody is putting a gun to your head making you listen to it. They still gon make their money whether you like it or not. Put up or shut and and go cop a KRS One cd. Whining and complaining ain’t doing nothing but making you a more miserable person. Get over it.

*Pops in that new “Rich Boy” joint.

To TruthBtold AND SoopDawg, you are welcome. When I found the news break I had to let you all know, and that means someone may leak his entire album.

But for some reason, i think he may have leaked it.
Jay-Z and many other artist are notorious for leaking their music, and always say they dont know how it happened, and they will admit they did themselves when they so call retire.

But if he did, he may be chopping his own head off, for he is not just an artist, he was given power by L.A. Reid and the powers that be, and he can be stripped and fined at anytime, for the law is involed in searching for the leaking individual who started this.

FOR ANYONE CURIOUS ON WHAT SAMPLES (JUST BLAZE) USED FOR THE NEW (JAY-Z) SONG FOLLOW THE NEWS BREAK BELOW:

(TRUTHBTOLD NUMBER 72, ALL THE INFO ON WHAT SONGS HE SAMPLED ARE ON THE ALLHIPHOP.COM BREAKING NEWS.)

Co-signing with #82, Rakim and KRS-One are my favorites of all-time. Jay-Z hasn’t done anything of significant quality since Reasonable Doubt.

I’ve been hearing this song all day (radio stations in the DC area have been playing this song TWICE/THREE times every hour)…

The beat/sample is nice but his wordplay is not up to par…at least it’s not like how it usually is…

I’m not gonna say Jay-Z fell the fuck off because of one leaked song that may not even make the album unlike others…I’ll wait to the offical album drops before I make any final decisions about him.

However, I’m MAD pissed that Nas’ album gets pushed back to December to make way for Jay-Zs. And being that there’s no single out for Hip-Hop Is Dead, I wouldn’t even be surprised if Nas’ album doesn’t come out til early ‘07…

Come on Jigga Man.. R u serious? I would expect him to “come wit it” since he had to come out of “retirement”! Im not feeling it, but im sure if he drops a album it will do well.

I like the live band it sounds good
reminds me of the roots and dead presidents

but lyrically jay aint cutting it
i think jay is so overrated
his best album IMO was resonable doubt after that he just lost me

i like it. its different. i like the sound of real instruments in stuff. i could had done without the rump shaker mess though.

Both Jay and Bee dont want anyone else but them to shine.First kelly gets pushed back because of Beyonce,now Nas gets pushed back because of Jay…

lmao@ 1. devil music, ahh

Dayuuumm!! You guys are a bunch of haters! This track is HOT! Jay-Z leads the rap game. ANd…to the person who claimed only the 21 & under crowd rock to Jigga…my MOMMA loves him and she’s 60!

I think the song is hot! The Jigga Man is back, he just couldn’t stay away.

peace

flow’s sick, beat even sicker….like it or not the shit is gona be #1..Its JAY-Z

@7 YES! I thought the same thing I knew I heard that shit before! ” all i wanna do is zooma zoom zoom and a-boom just shake ya rump!” LOL as far as his song goes….NEXTTTTTTTTTTT!

OOPS i meant @17! :}

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAK!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS EXPECTING JAY TO COME ALOT HARDER THAN THIS. NEXT PLEASE>>>>>>>

@ 73 THE FUCK IS UP WITH YOU BITIN OFF THE MTV ARTICLE?

WACK!!!

@#99
lol.I’ve notice that too.lol

STREETS IS WATCHING !!!!

Hova all day everyday any damn day!! Track is damn Fiyaah, #1 hit on the charts guaranteed! Dude is doin big things, takin hiphop to another level, all u damn ass pussies betta stop the hate! Support The G.O.A.T! Datz why black floks we ain’t movin’ forward real talk..
“i got a drop/juss took off da top/its your turn”

@62& 85,I totally agree.Hating on the south isn’t going to put east coast rap back on top.As for Jay-Z falling off…dude is getting old,he can’t be on top forever.

Dayuuumm!! You guys are a bunch of haters! This track is HOT! Jay-Z leads the rap game. ANd…to the person who claimed only the 21 & under crowd rock to Jigga…my MOMMA loves him and she’s 60!

umm I said only people 21 and under think he is the GREATIST anyone can like his songs, but does your mother know anything about where rap originated from?

The only good cd he came out with is reasonable doubt all the rest were not that great. I am not saying he is the worst rapper b/c there are definitely some who are terrible , but I lot of young people in their early 20s know NOTHING about where rap originated from who were the REAL RAPPERS and calling Jay Z the greatest is RIDICULOUS>

RAKIM is the greatest alive
Biggie was the Greatest lyricist
Tupac was the greatest Story teller

I’m annoyed, I had to stop it. I still think he has a kinderdarten flow.

The whole separation of music by region is whack as hell too. It’s only blacks that says the b.s. like “I’m tired of the south/east coast” or “when is the east coast coming back?” Who really cares, I see all hiphop as one and it’s really not that serious. However, this song is really lame.

MIKE SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THAT KRS ONE BULL SHIT…NOT SAYIN THEY AINT HOT..BUT THEY HAD THEIR TIME…

THIS WHOLE IDEA OF HIPHOP BEING ONE THING AND ONE WAY IS SO STUPID TO ME….SO CUZ U MAKE COMMERCIAL SONGS U A SELL OUT? SHIT THATS WHY RAPPERS POOR…U GOTTA MAKE MONEY AT THE END OF THE DAY

AND BELIEVE ME IM ALL FOR INTELLECTUAL RHYMES AND ISH…BUT JIGGA IS NOT THAT COMMERCIAL…THE SHIT HE SAYS IS STILL WITTY AND STILL CALLS FOR SOME DEGREE OF BRAIN CELLS TO BE USED…IT AINT NO “SHAKE IT LIKE A SALT SHAKER” ISH HE SAYIN…HIS WORDPLAY IS SERRRIOUS…

KRS ONE? MY NIGGA PLEASE

BTW THE KRS COMMENTS IS FOR SOUTHSIDE

AND (FOR MIKE) RAKIM AINT NO GREATEST…COMMON AND KWELI ARE EVEN BETTER THAN HIM…IN MY OPINION ATLEAST..

WOW ANOTHER PUBLICITY STUNT JUST LIKE THE BLACK RETIREMENT ALBUM… NOW THIS… AINT NO WAY THIS FOO WOULD OF SOLD OUT MADISON SQUARE IF HE DIDN’T SAY HE’S RETIRING!! I’M SORRY BUT THATS REAL STUFF…BUT SMART! WAY TO GO HOV…

RAKIM HAS NOT HAD A HIT SINCE ERIC B. AND RAKIM WERE TOGETHER, AND HE TRIED COME BACKS, BUT NOONE WAS FEELING HIM. THE ONLY TIME HE WANTS TO RECORD IS WHEN HE OWES MAD CHILD SUPPORT, AND THATS WHY DR. DRE DROPPED HIM FROM AFTERMATH RECORDS.

RAKIM WAS COOL, BEFORE, BUT THE PRODUCTION FROM ERIC B., WAS THE MAIN FACTOR.

AS FOR KRS ONE, HE IS ONE OF THE GREATS, FOR HE WAS ONE THAT BIG,2PAC, AND MANY OTHERS LOOKED UP TO, INCLUDING MOS DEF,COMMON,JAYZ,NAS AND KWELI, SO NEVER DISS THE BLAST MASTER, OF THE BATTLE RAP, FOR HE HELP START THAT.

THATS ONE REASON NAS WENT AFTER JAYZ IN THE “EITHER” SONG, FOR JAY USED THE SAME TITLE, “THE BLUEPRINT” WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN TITLED, “THE BITE ME PRINT” THOUGH IT WAS A GOOD ALBUM.

RESPECT THOSE WHO STARTED THE GAME, FOR YOU WERE JUST A THOUGHT, WHEN THEY WERE ROCKING THE MIC, PAVING THE WAY.

AND THE WHOLE EAST/WEST/SOUTH THING IS BLOWING UP, FOR MANY ARE FALLING FOR THE SAME TREND THAT LED TO 2PACS AND BIGGIES DEATH, ON THAT,
WHAT COAST IS THE REAL HIP HOP.
BY NOW EVERYONE SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIP HOP, AND EACH OTHER, FOR ITS UNIVERSAL, SO WHATS NEXT, FRANCE,UK, AFRICA, AGAINST THE U.S. RAP. ITS ALL STUPID TO ARGUE THE COAST ISSUE FOR AMERICA IS THE ONLY PLACE TO SHOW THIS SEPERATION.
THE EAST HAD IT ALL ONCE, THEN THE WEST COAST, MID WEST, AND NOW SOUTH, BUT RAP SHOULD BE UNTIED NOT SEGREGATED LIKE RACES.

MY BROTHAS AND SISTAS ARE THE ONLY ONES FOLLOWING THE COAST BICKERING IN RAP, AND OTHER RACES LOOK AT IT ALL, AS IF RAP WAS BASKINS AND ROBBINS, WITH A SELECTION OF DIFFEENT FLAVORS TO CHOSE FROM FOR THEY APPRECIATE THE ARTISTRY MORE THE OUR OWN PEOPLE.

BOTTOM LINE IF ITS GOOD MUSIC, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION, I WILL SUPPORT, AND IF ITS A BAD SELECTION, JUST MOVE ON TO THE NEXT.

AND FOR THOSE SAYING, “HIP HOP IS DEAD” WHICH MANY ARE REPEATING BECAUSE NAS AND MANY EAST COAST RAPPERS SAY THIS, IS CRAZY.
THEY SAID HIP HOP WAS JUST A FAD AND WOULD NOT LAST IN THE 80′S AND ITS NOW 2006, AND DOMINATING THE ENTERTAINMENT WORLD.
LUDA BEAT JANET JACKSON,JUSTIN, AND MANY MORE ARTIST THIS WEEK FOR THE NUMBER ONE SPOT, AND HE IS SOUTHERN.
HIP HOP NEVER DIES, IT EVOLES.

PRACTICE MORE LOVE AND LESS HATE

ONE

WOW ANOTHER PUBLICITY STUNT JUST LIKE THE BLACK RETIREMENT ALBUM… NOW THIS… AINT NO WAY THIS FOO WOULD OF SOLD OUT MADISON SQUARE IF HE DIDN’T SAY HE’S RETIRING!! I’M SORRY BUT THATS REAL STUFF…BUT SMART! WAY TO GO HOV…
^^^^^^how do u know that he wouldnt have sold out the garden?Dmx also said he was retiring but the retirement album only sold 1mil.he is back and he sold less than 300k.outcast—>57 OUTKAST IDLEWILD 15,604 -21 19,818 389,793 on their “last album”.

Next!!!!!

Jayz needs to sit his ugly ass down somewhere..i heard this damn tired weak ass gimmick ridden song…there he goes again, insulting our freakin intelligence again….uhhh, i wish he go sit his joe camel lookin ass down somewhere, for good!

Next!!!!!

JAY-Z IS NOT, I REPEAT, NOT THE FUCKIN BEST RAPPER ALIVE! ARE YOU KIDDING….HE’S JUST FULL OF GIMMICKS AND MARKETING LIKE HIS GIRLFRIEND…

ICE CUBE WILL BLOW JAYZ OUT THE F’ING WATER!
DMX (EVEN ON CRACK) WILL BLOW JAY-Z OUT THE WATER!
EVEN EMINEM WILL BLOW JAYZ’S ASS OUT THE WATER!

I DARE JAYZ TO CHALLENGE ANY OF THESE RAPPERS TO A RAP OFF! HE WON’T, INSTEAD, HE’LL JUST KEEP THEM DAMN GIMMICKS UP, CALLING HIS DAMN SELF THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE, AND ALOT OF IDIOTS WILL CONTINUE TO BUY INTO THAT BULLSHIT……JAY-Z, JIGGA NIGGA PLEASE, SIT YO ASS DOWN, FAKE ASS!

I think the song is cool…But not up to par (sort-a speak) to be Jay-Z’s “out of retirement” single.

I got tired of the song quick because the first time I heard it Atlanta’s V103 Radio Station played it like 20 times BACK2BACK.. & that was L-A-M-E!

i am so tired of that man.

this single hurts my heart bc i luv jay…but this crap doesnt even deserve the benefit of the doubt….unless its a part of his genius tactic to make us think he fell off….o jay, you kidder!!!

might i add, all these publicity stunts are making him rich! Jay could care less once you buy the cd cause now he’s got your money, and you’re walking away with a worthless piece of junk, con artist bastard! I know i seem to be hard on him, but it’s just damn offensive for him to call himself the best rapper alive when you still have all these gifted rappers alive and they got to hear this bullshit! ANd i hate when i see weak minded people fall into hype and glitz instead of sticking to the real deal…

PLEASE EVERYBODY GO SEE THIS VIDEO!!!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SN6bFyhqiw

IF YOU LOVE THIS COUNTRY AND CARE ABOUT FREEDOM YOU SHOULD THIS VIDEO!!!!!!

MARVELOUSHAGLER that’s what I was saying. We’re the only ones to separate by coast and regions. I’ve never heard of such b.s. No matter what area, we’re still black and they look at us the same you know. That’s why artists like Fat Joe, Busta, Jim Jones (just to name a few), who are extremely whack by the way, get no respect from me. They’re to busy crying east coast is this, nobody else is shit when they sound stupid as hell. Respect it for what it is.

I love the song. I heard the first few secs and thought of Just Blaze. I hope this album has a little more Blueprint on the album, though. The track itself is exceptional.

I don’t like it. But it really doesn’t matter, it’s going to do well regardless based on his name alone.

i absolutely LOVE jay-z… that song…. *crickets* i’m definitely going to have to listen to it a million times to start to feel it a little bit

i hope his cd is hot too!

I definitely hope this isn’t his coming off of vacation–oops, I mean, out of retirement–record.

Anybody could’ve done a song like that.

But, I just think that he’s bored and thought that being the president of a company would’ve taken up a good amount of his time.

lol! Don’t you guys think that something is “wrong” if you have to listen to the song a “few times” before you can decide if you like it or not? If you don’t care for the song at first listen then ya don’t like it! Yes radio will spin it 1 million times (like they did with Beyonce’s new singles) & as a result it will become your ish but that doesn’t make it a good song. The beat is hot, the production is crazy, BUT I am not feeling Jay’s flow - it’s like he gets lost in all that sampling/drums/etc.

Oh- one more thing- that close-up shot SCARES ME!!!

@ 61….I co-sign that!!!!

jay z got some Turkey lips up in that picture above. Thats why Bey like him. Its those CSL’s!!

look at dem lips….
das all i hav 2 say

boring, sounds outdated. that close up pic is damn scary. damn hes ugly!

Wowwww. So many haters! I didnt know people were sooo bitter and mean! How many of you, can do what he has done and what he does. He owns a basketball team, he owns Def Jam and created Rocafella, has a clothing line went into retirement, comes back out and he’s still spitting fiyah!!!!! This sound is like nothing you hear on the radio. U guys r seriously gonna hate on J??? U would rather listen to the crap most rappers r putting out right now??? Rap is making a comeback and it’s because of heavyhitters like Jay-Z that people are going to start appreciating rap music! Nobody sounds like Jay, so you can’t compare him to anybody else. People hate people who have talent. This dude has talent, thats probably why you’re all hatin!

stole the instrumentals from Ras Kas - check the song “Rasassination” from album of the same name - think it came out in 1998

“How many of you, can do what he has done and what he does. He owns a basketball team, he owns Def Jam and created Rocafella, has a clothing line went into retirement, comes back out and he’s still spitting fiyah!!!!!”

What does that matter? we all have potential to do big things in our lives, but just because he heads a record company, clothing line blah blah blah, dosent mean thats a reason to like his crappy single. Just because this guy is a media mogul dosent mean he cant churn out crappy music.

“This sound is like nothing you hear on the radio”
Are you sure about that? those horns are played out and he made a sample of a sample

“U would rather listen to the crap most rappers r putting out right now??? Rap is making a comeback and it’s because of heavyhitters like Jay-Z that people are going to start appreciating rap music!”

Were judging this single, not anyone else and this single sucks. plain and simple. most people tried to listen to it a few times before they could decide wheather they like it or not. If someone has to do that, the song sucks.

people need to step away from the jay-z altar and start thinkin for themselves if this single was released by anyone else the major consensus would be this is wack. Give credit where credit is due and step back from the smoke screen and mirrors. This joint is garbage andjust like his girl who aint gone platinum yet, you aint exempt from failure.

i cant stand this song already! this was ALL the radio stations down here were playin. 1 station played it like 8 times in a fuckin ROW! the only reason why i like the rump shaker horns is because it reminds me of THAT song, not this garbage.

**check baby check baby one two three four**

Most of the people posting on here have no idea about rap. Listen to the first verse and the second when he breaks it down and talks about today’s rappers…the metaphors he’s dropping are ridiculous. The beat is hot. But, that goes without saying…it’s Just Blaze. This song is fresh and is a new sound for Jay-Z…He’s showing his versatility. Most of you don’t even understand the references that he’s making. This is just another example of what’s wrong with wrap. People don’t listen to lyrics. Hot song. I’m sure the video will be awesome.

What is up with the Hating on here!!!!! Most of the people posting on here have no idea about rap. Listen to the first verse and the second when he breaks it down and talks about today’s rappers…the metaphors he’s dropping are ridiculous. The beat is hot. But, that goes without saying…it’s Just Blaze. This song is fresh and is a new sound for Jay-Z…He’s showing his versatility. Most of you don’t even understand the references that he’s making.

the beat is sick but the lyrics are sugarcoated, im sure it’ll grow on the masses like change clothes. rofl @ the hov hate. niggas opinions change when they hear your name too much

it was aight sounded like some of his past songs though

they play it like 6 times an hr here in my city!!

People are going to love this song because it’s Jay Z. Even though the song is whack end of discussion

Jay is a dat nicca, but just to let u misinformed folk know this could be a promo/mixtape track, not an actual single. He said in the end of the song he giving niccas two months to get their act together. Just like Game ” One Blood” was not a real single, it was a mixtape joint that became popular, so they made a video. As a mixtape single it is hot, but if it is an album single it was average.

I love Jay-Z and Beyounce is okay( just seeing too much of her( not a good career move, people will get sick of her)). BUT SOMEONE PLEASE TELL THEM THAT 808 IS NOT GREAT FOR EVERYONE!!!

40 year old dude still talking about getting a blow job

jay is just as overhyped as beyonce, except jay is great but all of his work is not up to par

@130 Valee

Don’t be so dramatic; nobody called jay talentless! Yes, i’ve given him credit for his beats, but dammit, he went too far when he started calling himself “the best rapper alive”. I’m sorry, i have serious problems with that cause, unless ice cube, snoop, dmx, cool j, and many others have died, this nigga is straight lying! And i agree, nobody else sounds like jayz, cause when he raps, he sounds like his ass is out of freakin breath (best rapper alive my ass!) People been listening to crap for so long, we have gotten it twisted, thinking a bad beat is the best rap song….i say hell to the naw, jayz can’t blind me and play with my mind with all that marketing and loud catchy beats….if he were to have a rap off with any of the artists i mentioned, he would leave crying! Case closed.

wack…jay can definitely come harder than this! just like i said before…number 23 is famous, but number 45 was wack…sometimes people don’t need to come out of retirement.

Okay so I love the beats. I am a Jay-Z fan so he never fails me on the beats. He is similar to Beyonce, keeps it different and it keeps us guessing. Now as for the song, I am not sure how I feel about it. I honestly love him, but I don’t feel this record will be as strong as his others. In my opinion, he should have just stayed retired I mean he has already proven to be “that nigga”. I hope this cd doesn’t change people’s opinions of him. ::shrugs shoulders:: I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

I’m all Jay-z’d out right now. I can’t take all the retiring just to make a so called big come back. If music is his thing then stick to it. I wish some new artists would come out that make some kind of sense. Everything sounds the same to me now a days.

that is the hottest song out right now.they played it 8 times back2back in atlanta.bout time im tired of this snap sh*t……

The rap game is confused right now.

People are snatching up record deals and radio air time like it ain’t nothing.

What has to happen is the public has to take a bigger interest in the music that’s being put out there.

The reason why we are being subjected to snap music; pointless artists; and recycled beats is because we are letting it happen.

The CEOs are the ones with the real power, not these little dime-a-dozen rappers and singers out here.

If you don’t like what you get on the radio 8 times a day, then say something to them.

Because until you do that, THIS will continue.

I thought this was a picture of Miss “J” from ATNM!

JSCENE I THINK U NEED TO GO IN THE QUIET CORNER FOR THE BS U SAYIN…U SOUND LIKE A RETARD TALKIN BOUT ICE CUBE,SNOOP , DMX? BETTER THAN WHO…JAY-Z? DUDE SIT YA STUPID ASS DOWN WITH THAT SHIT…I SWEAR CL NEEDS TO SCREEN THESE POSTS.

well it’s like this the song is iight not Jay’s best yet still just because it’s Hov it’s gonna be number 1 but I’d rather wait for Dead Presidents III
and to the fool that said it’s a wrecks n effect sample the original is :
The Lafayette Afro Rock Band “Darkest Light”(1972)
and the drum line is :
Johnny Pate “Shaft In Africa” (1973)
the only thing u got right was the sample of Public Enemy
although if the original had lyrics the illest remix would be to have Chuck D on a verse with Flav goin crazy with Jay on the hook ….. would be a hot video but that is so far fetched anyway I will still cop the album cus it is the perfect setup for Nas to drop his 1st quarter without the pressure I mean he is on Jay’s album in case u didn’t know

These comments are so stupid. Jay Z does not write down any of his lyrics down. So basically he memorizes everything and freestyles. You do that and tell me what you come up with. And I bet 99% of the people talking about this song is going be the main ones first in line for the new album.

The song if FIRE! The track MORE FIRE!!! Real instruments make the track bang! Anybody with musical background, outside of MTV & BET ( especially in percussion ) has to love it!
Cant wait for it to drop!

MY RESPONSE:

YOU GO SIT YO DUMB ASS IN THE FUCKIN CORNER BITCH! I SAID IT, AND I STAND BY IT, JAYZ’S ASS IS NOT THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE - THAT’S THE BULLSHIT YOU’RE TALKIN ABOUT! THE ONLY THING HE’S GOOD FOR IS MAKING A GOOD BEAT, BUT AS FOR RAPPIN, PLEASE—MATTER A FACT, TWISTA CAN KNOCK THAT NEGRO OUT THE WATER WITH RAPPIN, BITCH ASS JAYZ WOULDN’T EVEN BE ABLE TO KEEP UP, AND I WON’T INSULT THE OLD SCHOOL RAPPERS BY MENTIONINING THEIR NAME IN THE SAME BREATH AS JAY-Z! I DON’T KNOW YOU, BUT I’LL BET MONEY THAT YOUR ASS AINT THAT DAMN DEEP; YOU’RE PROBABLY SHALLOW AS HELL! ANYONE WITH ANY DEPTH CAN’T TAKE THAT LOLLYPOP GUMBLEGUM BULLSHIT JAYZ BE TALKING BOUT “MONEY, CAR’S HOES! YOU GOTTA COME HARDER THAN THAT IF YOU’RE GOING TO “CALL YOURSELF” THE BEST RAPPER ALIVE….WITH ALL THAT FAKE ASS RETIRING AND COMEBACK BULLSHIT, JAYZ IS A MARKETING WHORE, AND THAT’S HIS FUCKIN GAME…AND THAT’S MY OPINION, YOU HAVE YOUR’S AND I HAVE MINE….OH YEAH, PLUS HE’S UGLY AS FUCK!

Not feeling this one. The track is hot, but I expected a little more lyrically.

@jscene
i agree with you Jay is not the best rapper out there
you can get hooked on his beats
but most of the time he aint saying much

also i dont like this pic of him he looks like he has on eye make up
and that sexy pout look he is trying to give is making me well nauseous

I DIDNT HEAR IT YET BUT I BET IT’S HOT,IT’S JAY!

#154 I agree wit you totally, when I was in high school and I said that I didn’t like him I would get cursed out for show. I never liked Jayz, but he put the icing on the cake when he bit pac’s song and pac didn’t even like his ass, and I am a pac stan all day everyday.Hell I don’t like nas cause he did the same shit, he jumped on pacs stuff, but if it was between jayz and nas i would say nas his the best, dude can spit.

I know yall gonna throw darts at me for sayin this but Im going to say it anyway……

Damn…based on the pic above…..

I would luv to suck face with this dude!!!!

Now yall can throw the darts!!!!LOL

whats an 808

@159
i wouldnt throw darts at you girl
id recommend a good eye doctor
but i wouldnt throw darts

IT LOOKS LIKE HE CAN SUCK YOUR SOUL WITH HIS LIPS!

I am loving this song! The drums are ridiculous! Who’s the drummer? Does anyone know?

@jscene
i agree with you Jay is not the best rapper out there
you can get hooked on his beats
but most of the time he aint saying much
^^^^if u think that he doesnt say much then u werent meant to understand anything in the first place and u probably never will.u just not on his level.i always understand what he is saying.no offence,but some things(advanced math) might look like rubbish to some people.

not really liking this song at all, i don’t think he should have used the wrecks in effects track, that song was a classic, jay should have been a little more creative, hopfully its not a first release.

jay-z you are the man

I dont want to comment on his music…i want to comment on those lips!!!! GOOD GOOGLY MOOGLY!! I wonder if he’s a good kisser??? LOL..LOL

I love Shawn Carter, but this song is just not up to par. I hate to agree with Earl, but Beyonce has changed him drasticly. I need for him to channel the gutta Jay-Z. The song is okay for what it is, but I hope this isn’t the flow of the album.

Jay Z lips look frightening, I love juicy lipps but those are just a lil too juicy for me, lol

And how do we say hmmm. . . . .overrated rapper?

The only thing I like about this song are the samples, Lay-Z needs to stay retired until he can think of something new to say.
The instrumental is hot though…

By the way this song is a combination of:

1-Johnny Pate - Shaft in Africa*
*previously sampled by:
Rass Kass-Rasassination

2-Lafayette Afro Rock Band - Darkest Light**
**Horns featured in:
Public Enemy - Show ‘Em Whatcha Got
Wreck N Effect - Rump Shaker

@164
i understand your an idiot
thats good enuff

“I GUESS NOBODY LIKES IT BECAUSE HE TRIED SOMETHING DIFFERENT” MAYBE IF IT SOUNDED LIKE MORE OF THE LEAN WIT IT ROCK WIT WALK IT OUT BOP UP ON IT DO IT DO IT NONE LYRICAL SHIT THAT IS ON THE RADIO OR HE MAYBE IF HE JUST CAME OUT AND SOUNDED LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, IT WILL BE A MINUTE AND THEN A FEW PEOPLE WILL START 2 LIKE IT AND ONCE MORE PEOPLE LIKE THEN THE DICK RIDERS ILL START AND BE LIKE WELL I LIKE IT TOO.. SAME SHIT HOV IS THE BEST THE GREATEST IN MY BOOK “REMEMBER EVERYBODY’S INTITLED TO THERE OWN OPINION”

i hate it.

why does it make me feel like im back in the 8th grade trynna shake my “rump”?

this is played. not classic, played.

GAHHH-BAGE!!!

jay, i hope you reading this. im very disappointed. you aint lie when you said you was the michael jordan of rap… yall both don’t know when to quit.

lol to mike; i totally agree; however, jay is the greatest rapper ALIVE! that’s what the young know. lol…jay already admitted to biggie, himself and nas being the greatest rappers….lol.

oh yeah, and to everyone else lol; but coming from an orginal hip-hop head: this song is a perfect example of the origans and creativity of what hip-hop truly be; not that bullshit yall be listenin’ to now…but of course you wouldn’t know if you have not lived the days of Affrikka Bambata…lol.

LONG LIVE HIP-HOP!

ALL I KNOW IS I DEF. WON’T BE BUYING HIS CD! HOWEVER, I WILL BUY HIS NEW ARTIST CD; LUPE FIASCO. I’VE HEARD SOME OF HIS MUSIC, AND HIS MUSIC HAS A DEEP MESSAGE. ALL I ASK IS THAT WHEN YOU RAP, GIVE ME SOMETHING FOR THE SOUL…IT AINT GOT TO BE TOO DEEP, JUST GIVE ME SOMETHING OF SUBSTANCE…DAMN, IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK FOR…I’D LIKE SOMETHING TO GO WITH MY GOOD BEATS THANK YOU. I’M SO SICK OF MONEY, CARS, HOES! AND AT 164 HAHA - YOU’RE DAMN RIGHT, I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT JAY’Z IS SAYING, MAYBE HIS MUSIC IS JUST FOR YOUNGER IDIOTS! I’M A LITTLE OLDER, STILL IN 20′S, BUT NEED A LITTLE MORE THAN I REQUIRED WHEN I WAS 16.

I think the single is HOT, SEXY AND EXCITING. It’s different from the norm. I say to jay, keeping doin what cha doin cause you caint please everybody all the time.
