♫ JAY-Z – JOCKIN’ JAY-Z (produced by Kanye West) ♫
A little while ago, we posted a Timbaland-produced track entitle “Ain’t I?” that was produced by Timbaland, and rumors swarmed that the new song was coming from Jay-Z’s new album, The Blueprint 3. Although it was just a fluke, and the track was previously recorded, Jay-Z announced that he is, in fact, releasing a new album, titled The Blueprint 3.
Here’s his new track, “Jockin’ Jay-Z,” which he premiered last week at Kanye West’s Madison Square Garden show. The track is produced by Kanye, and it also seems that Jay-Z has tapped his labelmate and mentee to helm production over the album.
Thanks to our homies at NahRight.com for the mp3!
Check out Jay-Z on MySpace and be on the look-out for more information on his new album.
And “American Gangster” just came out… why the rush? Blue Print 2 sucked Blue Print was okay because he had Damon Dash on board….
#59 go kill yourself. Plenty of chicks want to be Beyonce which is why they stay jocking her ass and talking about her 24/7. She obviously can read fine since she is one of the richest and most successful black female artists ever. Go play in traffic wit your miserable hating ass.
Anyway this song is dope. Like someon said him and Mrs Carter not in forbes and a power couple for nothing. Haters stay mad.
i love it! im definitely coppin his album…
@59 “IGUESSISHOULDCOMMENT” …u shouldntve commented on this cuz u ade urself lok really dumb. lol…u was obviously jockin jay-z if u copped his first 7 albums!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG why are people arguing back and forth in the first 5 posts??? Damn, who cares if someone thinks he’s the best rapper alive or the worst! This posts is supposed to be just about the single. Like a lot of people, I got tired of Jay-Z. His last few albums haven’t done as well as his albums from his previous years because he’s already reached the climax of his career and has gotten older. It happens with all the once famous singers/rappers. Why can’t people accept that and why do y’all choose to get on others because they aint feelin the man anymore? Anyway, this track is wack. You can’t dance to it and it really isn’t radio friendly. Rap is going downhill. Hasn’t anyone noticed that yet?
@29 DUMB DUMB PRODIGY BEEN DISSING JAY FOR THE LAST PAST 4 YEARS HUNNY HE WAS DISSING JAY IN HIS BLOGS HE WAS DISSING JAY WHEN AMERICAN GANGSTER CAME OUT SO HOW DARE YOU GET MAD AT JAY FOR DEFENDING HIMSELF YALL TRYING TO MAKE HIM SEEM AS IF HE DWEELING ON OLD SHIT WELL TELL MOTHER FUCKERS TO KEEP HIS NAME OUT THEY MOUF!! DUDE FROM OASIS STILL TALKING ABOUT JAY SO JAY GON STILL TALK ABOUT HIM BACK TELL THEM TO STOP JOCKING HIM AND MAYBE HE’LL LEAVE THEM ALONE
WORD OF ADVICE FOR YOU ..IS KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT BEFORE YOU OPEN YOUR MOUTH
HERE’S THE VIDEO WITH PRODIGY DISSING JAY LAST YEAR
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PdrKV29gHM
JAY HAVEN’T MENTION DUDE SINCE HE ENDED HIS CAREER ON TAKEOVER BUT DUDE CAN’T SEEM TO LEAVE JAY NAME OUT HIS CONVERSATIONS
SO JAY DISSED THE SHIT OUT OF BALLERINA P ON PUT ON REMIX!
if you dont get it you just wont….this is FIYAH!!!!! Check the (((((lyrics)))) Jay Z IS A REAL RAPPER no matter what ppl say…Im so SICK OF the foolishness that I hear on the radio man….YES I WANT lyrics w dope beats BACK!!!!
Those of us who fell in love with Hip Hop and Rap for dope beats and great lyrics need to protest the record labels that put out this nonsense!!!!
JAY Z…GET EM BOY!!!!
HA HA…dude say dont jock me jock my chic!!!!
A rapper raps… A actor acts… It’s interesting how a post about a song turns into he needs to stop this or stop that. The man is entitled to retire when he wants too. A lot of people may need to do their research. What he doesn’t give to the community lyrically; he gives back in service. He was one of the first to give to the following: Katrina, Columbine, the water to life campaign in Africa, Team Roc, The Shawn Carter Foundation and I Will Not Lose Campaign.
I’m not a Jay Z stan but of course he can rap.
aye JAY Z that dude hands down
@ 66 I dig your style ma get at me
GTFOH that track is dope
Jay, dis song is HOT!! i luv it !! da lyrics r so fresh!!!! cant wait til Blueprint 3!!!
This shit is fire.
If you don’t like it, then I’m sure you’re probably a Lil Gayne groupie or a fan of bullshit music. ex. gucci mane, plies….you get my drift.
I love that he has been in the game so long and he still never disappoints me.
Jay spits that REAL shit.
I don’t understand why people come on here and constantly try to make this man somebody that they want him to be all the people that come on here telling him to hold his wife’s hand ,or dress this way,or talk this way,or rap this way…what the hell!.. half yall don’t even like the man half yall don’t like nothing about dude so why tell him what to do with himself it’s not outta love it’s not to better himself it’s not because you honestly care…it’s out of pure hate
let me let yall IN on something
1.jay is making albums because it’s in his contracts(def jame 1 more album,live nation/roc nation-3 more albums) that he has to make albums he has 4 more albums to make … so the retirement shit is long gone
2.jay is lyrical a very great rapper with over 350 classic songs and 4 classic albums ..he does have introspectives songs there on all and I mean every album all 13, (10 studio albums,3 callabo albums) and all of them have songs like that jay is one of those rapper where you CAN NOT ,can not!! judge him on his singles ..because his albums sound nothing like his singles
3.people snaked him,not the other way around.
4. if yall let.redman,method man,BIRDMAN,scarface,LL-cool-j,nas,krs-one,rakim,ice-cube,Ice-T,flavor flav,dr dre,outkast,snoop,plies,eminem, and them plus many more wear jeans t shirts and sneakers when all of them are in the exact same age group as jay(38) why the hell are yall ignorant behinds comming down on him…..YOU KNOW WHY.let me tell you because he’s the most famous and most relevant out of all them that’s why yall seperate him from everyone else that’s why yall espect better because he’s the best yall exspact greatness from the best…
5 this is NOT a single he said this might not even make the album he’s not even done with the album he only recorded 3 songs and he said it might not come out this year
6.yall opinions on him don’t matter and somebody asked what’s his motivation..he said haters is his motivation doubters motivate him he said when the whole world loves him then he’ll stop becuase there’s nothing left to prove but the more people that yell that he fell off the more motivated he becomes
any way love the song can’t wait for the album blueprint3! everyone that posted here/read this/listened to the song!.. I KNOW for a fact no matter how hard yall pretend I know yall waiting on it aswell
see yall in stores on the release date
dueces!!!!
JAY stay BEASTING it! (best to ever do hands down)
speak on it Linda I couldn’t have said better myself
Ok I like the song but AINT NOBODY JOCKING JAY Z!
GIVE IT UP ALREADY WITH UR OLLLLLLLLDDDDDDD ASSSSSS! Ithink he’s like the oldest repper currently constantly IN THE GAME STILL! Damn u annoy me. With ur LAST ALBUM IMMA RESIGN CRAP!
For the record the pic is HOTTT n a while back I said he should DRESS HIS AGE, n this is like what I was talking about….
@60 So true.
I respect Jay to a certain extent because of the fact that he’s been around for a minute, but with the same breath I dont care too much for his music. A lot of it is the same. The thing that irks me about him is the fact that he still feels the need to brag about his hustling days and make it seem cool. If you are in fact the best rapper alive you wouldn’t have to prove yourself by rapping about the drugs you sold over 15 years ago. Sounds like a little insecurity to me.
We already know what you did back then, be creative, come with something fresh. Most of all stop rapping about crack/cocain. Look what it’s done to our communities, it’s not in the least bit cool. The impressionable youth are the ones who find it cool, and are the ones who will ultimately mimic what you put out to look hot.
Essentially he’s still selling drugs. This time it’s in the form of music. If it’s not uplifting, and or prolific it’s distructive.
Jay is the best what the fuck is up with some of you idiots and your 6 page comments! and who the fuck cares what kind of shoes he chooses to wear day to day. and last i checked there was not a damn age limit on singing. he still got that flow and hot tracks so fuck the haters jayz is coming hard with this albulm.
LOL…Ya’ll are a trip! I don’t believe anyone is “jocking” Jay Z and even though the title of the subject was Jay Z’s new song, we should still be able to comment about him as a rapper, he does rap right? People are just stating give it up man… try something different…again at a certain age a man has to become a man and same for a woman, or child it’s called LIFE…The swagger is that of a child, mentally he hasn’t grown as a person if you still on the same bs…
Every person has a right to his or her opinions… Again in my opinion Jay Z is not the greatest rapper he is like a Nelly, Nelly don’t rap he talks about girls and break ups… tell me in 20 years who people bump to Jay Z or Pac? I just heard the other day some guy blasting Pac’s “Hail Mary”… I haven’t heard Biggie in about a minute, but people said that he was the greatest rapper but Pac is bumped more than any other artist dead or alive…
Maya, Ashanti, T.I. just to name a few have all said just to on a song with Pac is priceless
Quality not Quantity
THE BEAT GOES HARD!!!!!!!!!
I love it…. J-J-J JOCKING JAY-Z

If there is no age limit then I guess it would be okay for Diana Ross, Tina Turner, MC Hammer, Teena Marie to all start dressing like in their 20’s and singing and cursing Right? Hell maybe even New Edition should come back and start all over or should they leave their legacy alone and ride on something else?
Its funny b/c people diss Mariah Carey for not acting her age BUT talk about Jay Z and ya’ll start acting crazy…Its just OPINIONS people
^^^Jealous pac stan alert. LMFAO. Damn get off Jay-Z dick already. We heard you the first 3 times you commented. He doing his thing and is on top whether you like it or not. Get over it.
why do people comment like they some internet gangstas…calm the fk down
old and wack!
I can respect the man’s fans…I didn’t mean to offend, but from where I sit he’s doing nothing new… In fact, everything he’s done recently has really really been subpar. He’s a guy people will pay to see in concert because they remember what he was to them…but what he’s doing now you all will see is going to be his undoing. People want to dance and remember the stuff that was reasonably good…nobody is interested in the guy as some new relevant artist and he’s acting as if they are… I don’t know how it will all go wrong for him, but it will…maybe people will grow bored of his “game,” his trying to push this new shi* off as unique and awesome. The guy has made tons of money and has a certain status in the music world…so why is he frantic and grasping for air in a stream that’s just not flowing backwards?
“I Iet you do you, why you riding my shit?” Hov runs rap, point blank end of discussion.
To whoever it was who said that Jay-Z wasn’t a good rapper, than who the hell do you listen to? Lil Wayne? Jay reigns so God damn hard on these rappers today that it’s not even funny. Lyrically Jay is a monster, but you probably just can’t understand what he’s saying. And how else is he suppose to dress? LL is not a younging but he dresses like he’s 20 too, don’t even get me started on Flavor Flav. Should Jay be wearing highwater pants, with white socks and church shoes because he’s 38? Like, y’all need to get it together, and stop trying to find every little thing to complain about.
Anyways the song was fly, like always. I def will be picking me up the Blueprint 3.
@72..
I 100% agree.
This is the worst song ever!!!!
THIS TRACK IS TOUGH
KANYE DID IT AGAIN
GO YEEEZY!
I like JayZ, but the song is NOT hot coz ain’t no body jocking jayz! lol
Hot track, mediocre lyrics. This guy needs to be somewhere makin a baby.
jigga is my dude…if he was a fa real fa real lame he wouldn’t sell records or sell out shows…yo jig, keep doin you…
jay z is da man
theres more to life than money jay z
NOBODY in the genre of hip hop has done or can do what Jay has..that’s why he is jocked.
90+ comments on this site. Half he’s too old, he needs to dress his age, more to life than money, etc…. but you came in to listen to his track…That’s why he is jocked.
He’s your favorite rapper favorite rapper…that’s why he is jocked.
Maybe he should have called it Hatin Jay Z…b/c that’s all I see.
Let the man live..he’s havin a helluva time doin it!
AWW s**T!!!! I cannot wait for Blueprint 3, it’s going to B FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!! and 4 those of u that say Jay-z is NOT the best rapper alive listen to Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime Vol1, Vol 2…Hard Knock Life, Vol 3….Life And Times of S. Carter , Dynasty Roc La Familia, Blueprint 1, Blueprint 2 The Gift and the Curse, The Black Album, Kingdom Come, and American Gangster. I mean really sit and LISTEN, analyze and think about what he is actually saying. There are so much more in the lyrics that are much deeper than girls, p***y, guns, money, drugs, cars, liquor, designer clothes, sneakers, etc. I’m not saying he DOESN’T rap about that shit , but there is so much more.
THEN AND ONLY THEN.. can you tell me what you think.
It’s HOVA BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JAY-Z STAN 4 LIFE!
aother jay track with him saying a whole bnch of NOTHING
@ 82 and any other I might have offended…
Get off it… there is no “Pac” Stan fan here… I listen to it all from Naughty to DMX, Daz Dillinger, Twista, Nas and the legendry Face…. I just happen to think that enough is enough… give me something more than the same ole bs…you almost 40 Jay Z you got to have some other type of life experiences in there… which is why I wanted to listen to his “new” song to see if there was hope….my fault for being optimistic
Billie Holiday been dead for over 40 yrs and her music still got substance…Where the substance at? It is not an attack on the man (personally), I didn’t say I don’t like him (I gotta know you before I dislike you) I just don’t like the “music” he puts out
Nourish the mind nourish the soul
I rather listen to a man than a little boy any day!
#83 TETE:why do people comment like they some internet gangstas…calm the fk down
Ha ha ha!!! You’ve got me laughing like mad with that comment!!!…but so true,gosh
‘Neway,I love that picture! It’s so darn sexxyyy,and I like the song too!!
#100 SNITCHES !!!!! TOP THAT. I’M FEELING YOU #8 DEFINITELY. NAS IS THE GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE. THIS SONG IS WACK !!!!!!
WHEN THE HELL WILL YOU STANS STOP ” JOCKIN JAY-Z ” !!!!!
I CAN’T WAIT TILL NAS DROPS ANOTHER PARTY-UP ALBUM, THE ONLY REASON HIS RECENT ALBUM DIDN’T SELL THAT GOOD WAS THAT IT WAS ANOTHER ONE OF HIS POLITICAL ALBUMS, BUT THATS OK BECAUSE THIS SHOWS HIS VERSATILITY.
NASNASNASNASNASNASNASNASNASNASNASNSNAS ###### 11111111
No disrespect Bey, but can I kiss his lips just once? That’s all I need!
HOV! He lies, she lies, Numbers don’t !
This track is hard and on fire!!! He doesn’t know what producers he’s working with. He’s going to do like he always does – whoever comes with the heat, they’ll make the album!
This song is so tough………!!!!!
AMEN # 85
You definitely hit a lot of points. I have nothing against the man as an artist, but it’s hard to believe that one is being “jocked” when a lot of what he’s saying/doing has been done over and over again.
All you nut huggerz need to take a nap. Who cares who you like better or if you feel no one is jocking him? It’s a SONG you schmucks! Everyone comes out with all their egotistical rap, rhymes and whatever else and HE being the best rapper in the game, that is being JOCKED by YOUR favorite rapper can’t make word play on it? KANYE is the one that came up with the chorus and it’s a sample from a Run DMC song. Get off Jay’z nutz and go hug some other post. This one is being rocked by his fans.
BLUEPRINT 3 IS COMING SUCKAS!!!!!
JOCKIN JAY-Z, JOCKIN JAY-Z!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
F*ck what you heard. This here is the truth. Jay is the truth.
#24. IT SEEMS AS IF THOUGH YOU’RE TAKING IT PERSONAL. YOU NEED TO RELAX. WHAT DOES A 40 YR OLD MAN SUPPOSED TO DRESS LIKE. I DIDN’T KNOW WE WERE RESTRICTED TO ONE STYLE OF DRESSING WHEN YOU REACH A CERTAIN AGE. STREET SMARTS GOT THAT MAN A LONG WAY. ANOTHER BLACK MAN DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE WITH HIMSELF. GOT TO LOVE IT. DON’T KNOCK HIS HUSTLE. BESIDES, HE’S NOT THE ONLY RAPPER IN HIS THIRTIES RAPPING. SUCK IT UP BABES, IT’S NOT THAT SERIOUS. IT’S JUST MUSIC, NO ONE FORCES YOU TO LISTEN FOOL
@ 106 and again any other I might have offended…
Get off it! Ya’ll act as if no one else can say anything on this “subject”…. Read my other comments before you open you mouth to speak or attack me…. (And an educate, clam, sane person does not have to use curse words to get his/her point across)
1.) It is MY opinion
2). I came to the post hoping to here something different from Jay Z, realized I wasn’t and “I decided” (I’ll take his sister in law title song) that I would leave a comment on it
3). Good comments go with the bad comments
Also, people get luck & street smarts confused….tell me will it be okay for your momma to wear a tube top and short shorts or how about your daddy in skin tight jeans and a rip shirt? Come on…Some people pick their noses, and some people use a napkin… get off it!…it just annoys me when I see grown men or women for that matter dressing as if they are a kid… I guess if you saw an over weight person wearing a tight dress you aren’t going to comment to a friend of yours about it, huh? Get off it!
And it sounds as if you are taking it personal because of how you called me a fool for speaking my mind, the real fools are those who cannot respect some else’s OPINION… I haven’t used disrespectful language towards you so why are you?
And once again it was just MY opinion emphasis on MY
The truth hurts
Oh, sorry for the errors…
Damn Jay looks good.
I love him for his style and his rap game. Others come close, but he is the King of this and he is because not only is he a prolific rapper, he has swagger and leadership. You have to cover all grounds – not just lyrics (which he has for dayzzzzzz). Anytime he doesn’t have anything current out DJs will spin his old stuff or put old raps of his on new stuff to make a remix. He’s a legend for a reason – rap needs him.
Damn He looks good.
In regards to the song:
I don’t like the beat. It sounds like “A Milli” 80′s throwback. Ironic also that “The Blueprint 3″ is coming out right after “The Carter 3″. I think the “best rapper alive” title that he is so often attributed to is making him thirsty to outdo the other rappers who are selling a milli in a weekend. This song is about other people jocking him. It’s finny when people make a song about “haters”. If they really had no merit of influence in your life, then why are you making an entire song dedicated to them?
I don’t like it. However old you are … best rapper alive or whatever you claim to be … back it up.
In regards to his career:
It’s not up to us to determine what he wears, says, or does. But if he is near 40, and he is as successful as he is, why not help the community you came from and write up some lyrics that will uplift and encourage, and lift us out of this mental enslavement of money, sex, cars, drugs, flashing, etc. to where you are …. unless, of course … you haven’t been lifted out yourself.
Something to think about …
#110 – It doens’t sound like “A Millie” by a longshot – Kanye did the beat which is a sample from Run DMC Raising Hell. He’s the greatest rapper alive – confirmed by your favorite artist when no confirmation was needed.
It’s only fair that a PRODUCER thought he’s being jocked and thought it appropriate to make a song about it. Can’t hate on Jay for that.
There’s nothing wrong with still being a certain age if you’re the best at what you do. If so, Madonna, U2, Sting, Patti Labelle, Beastie Boys and so on wouldn’t exist.
Jay’s done more than enough and counting for his community and others – QUIETLY. Some stuff gets broadcasted, others don’t. He’s done tributes to Sean Bell as well as established college funds for his kids, his lengthy charity work, saved a village of people by supplying water, did the Opening Song for Barack Obama for his MASSIVE Ohio gathering, annual scholarship funds and x-mas drives. And so much more…..
Unlike these other mc’s who are chasing his name, fame and fortune and doing nothing. Yeah, I’m Jockin Jay-Z – he deserves to be jocked.
There’s nothing to think about. Only research to be done before you speak.
Shit is fuckin hot!!! Jay Z is the king.
The sickness that is Jay…can’t wait for this.
