Looks like I'm first (I think).  The track is alright.  We've already heard Hov at his prime, but even now he's better then 80% or the garbage we hear nowadays.

This is NOT what's poppin'. Somebody please tell Pharrell to take a break from skating and find his hunger again. This beat is unbearable. Jay rapped aiight but...he's trying too hard. It's not natural anymore.

Kind of funny that this is probably my first time posting and I have the honors of being first in regards to HOV. In my honest opinion, this song is alright. I've heard so many classics from Hov, he set the bar really hi. Im guessing this song was produced by neptunes. This song is okay, but it didn't get me excited to hear the new album thats on the way. I hope he brings that classic roc feel to the new album

Just my two cents

Hmmm a different flow from Hov? It took a little to get used to but, I like the song 7/10. I heard the album is supposed to be more blueprint-ish. We'll see how it goes as more tracks are leaked. It will sell more than 50's curtis in the first week though lol.

Takes me back to the Dynasty ROCAFELLA shit.  I wonder if he did this soundtrack just to talk about the shit he used to talking bout in his music.  Now if corporate America try to turn they backon him for his lyrics he can say it was the soundtrack to a movie.  Jay is a smart dude.  He know what the people wanna hear and he giving it to em on the slick.  But the song is hot except for Pharell singing the EnVogue shit!!!  WHat the hell is that.  But Jigga bout to take the game back

Smack Ya Favorite Rapper said:

I Feel this track alot, you people must of never heard of evolution.  If Hov came out with the exact same shit as on blueprint he would be playing himself because that's an old state of mind, Hov is at a stupid high level right now on his way to a BILLY (new slang for you hip hop cats, for Billion, yes hip-hop we almost there..) so excuse him for not sounding like your typical hot garbage rapper in 07, he's so ahead of some of yall that yall can't understand it, people fear change and what they don't understand but soon you will. Pay Attention, history is being made. Show some respect you youngstas.

Um I dunno.  I like Jay-Z trying something different PLUS you gotta dumn it down and he does that while still staying lyrical.  But yo, yo uain't gotta use Pharrell just because you know him.  Give one of these young hungry dudes a chance with a HOTTER beat.  PLUS they cheaper mane!!!

Its A nice tune, but defo not on A Blueprint level thats for sure, but it was only A rumor that it was gonna B A Blueprint style album. Pharell beats wernt on Blueprint... I dont think, I aint played it for ages, but Jay flow revolves around the beat unlike most rappers.

was gonna tell u the same thing heartbeat..i dont know if the album will be the official soundtrack, but the music is "inspired" by the movie and title...so he'll have a few drug joints on there...lol...funny thing...this isn't a jay classic but even on an off day his shit is better than 95% of whats out today...i mean he did this shit and u can tell he aint even trying..dont know what slash means about its not natural anymore....he sounds like he coulda did this shit eating a bowl of cereal its so effortless

Mos High Films said:

I agree with heart beat of 305...I m a big Jay-Z supporter, however I'm not really feeling skateboard P's riddim on this one. I know it's suppose to be a throwback type of joint but its not sharp. Jay's flow is still nice. Heart beat of 305 I agree that to many rapper's (I dont even know if I should use the word MC in most case's) talk about flipping this and that sell crack to your mama rap's. Come on we know what goes down. There needs to be more balance. My 1st album I bought was in 1987 it was "It takes a nation of millions to hold us back" Public Enemy. I was 10 yrs old listening to social commentary and that was cool. Times have changed.

May Jah guide and protect us!!

my niggas, dont even bother responding to anybody putting 50 cent over jay-z and pac....let them be, they know nothing.

the beat is questionable. listen it to it in a car with a bumping system and it sounds like crack. listen to it on ur computer with some bullshit speakers and it sounds like crap. it's all about the baseline on this one. hov's flow is on point though. this is not a easy track to have a smooth flow on and he pulls it off. i must say, pharrell's hook sounds like "blow my mind".

Real Hip Hop Since 1977 said:

Like Pimp C says.........MANE HOLE UP.................................

I don't even know where to start with this...  First let me say I'm happy HOV is back in the game.......

I definately don't agree with his timing of him dropping his American Gangsta cd because I feel it over shadows Kanye's success with his Graduation cd..... Kanye has been slept on his whole career until September 11, 2007...even by his big brother Jay-Z (listen to song," Last Call" off "The College Drop Out" cd)

Now, I've known about the movie "American Gangster" coming to theatre since Feburary 07.....I ain't hear nothing about Jay-Z doing the soundtrack to AG until September 18, 2007..A week after Kanye defeated 50 in record sales....Jay let KANYE have 07..damn...How you gone drop yo album a month after KANYE knowing you stealing the spotlight from him. They both are going to be up for awards for the same nominations.....DATS THAT SIBLING RIVALRY BS RIGHT THERE YALL..don't be fooled.

Jay is really smart though....Jay was on a quest to run N.Y. since his Reasonal Doubt days.....Biggie and Nas was his biggest competition back then.....He did songs with Biggie in an attempt to tap into Biggies fan base....He did and after Biggie past all of Biggies fan naturally sided with Jay-Z....

Nas never did songs with Jay-Z back then because Nas knew Jay-Z was trying to undermine Nas contribution to hip-hop...Only after Nas established his legacy did he start working with Jay-Z...

He's trying to show up Kanye now because he feels Kanye is his biggest competition....This is why Jay-Z shouldn't be the C.E.O of any record label because his pride refuses him to fall back and let his own artist succeed....FEEL ME.

As for this song he did take it back to the Reasonable Doubt basic flow...Pharrell didn't need to be sounding annoying with the hook..Maybe Pharrell singing the hook will grow on me....This song "Blue Magic" was made specifically for the club.. It's a gangster club track...(It's not bad but I want to hear Jay spit over hardcore beats.)

It's far from a street song that turned into a club song like "Aint No N****"....

If Jay wants to really get back the Reasonable Doubt/Blueprint vibe he needs more raw hardcore beats on this cd...Not those club , radio friendly beats he rapped over on his Kingdom Come cd....Can somebody tell me what does Jay-Z have against working with Premo?

Finally this haven't been confirmed yet but word is NAS and JAY-Z are going to drop their albums on the same day.....Hip-Hop would officially be alive then.......RealTalk

HIP HOP SOUTH said:

Not his best, but what do you expect from a legend? He can't come out w/ RD or Blueprint everytime..I'd like to see Hov in special appearances but if he still has some kind of hunger I have no problem w/ another album. I probably won't buy this one cause I'd have to listen to it first. But hey, he has enough dough to be worrying about my $10...

As for the song...ehhh a good 6/10...and that's a low 6..

bigo75 said:

The track does not match Jay Z. It sounds like Jay Z is trying to rap like someone else. I dont like it. His legacy is established, if he cant do any better than this, just RETIRE for real!

This is definitely not hot enough for a single, more like a filler song on the album. It sounds like Pharrel is getting lazy. I keep hearing people say he is going back to the blueprint, no way. If you go back and listen to the blueprint, you can tell that his mind was in a much different place than he is now. All of the emotional conflict that he was going through, you cant just recreate that!

midkniteATL - Cosign...

Folks puttin' that "1st" shyt on here are LAME!  Especially since by time your silly azzes are done typing half the time, you're like 4th, 5th, or 6th.  I swear...some of you have watched Talladega Nights one too many times on that "If you're not 1st, you're last" type shyt!  Haha....WHO CARES!

Especially if ya'll don't have anything of importance to say:)

With that said, I give this track a 7/10, and I'm a super Jay fan.  I just don't see it as the "smash" off this album.  But, I also will say the song will probably grow on me...and it's better than 99% of the ish that be out:)  It's just not up to "Jay" standards...lol

Jay has set the bar so high on HIMSELF that it makes it that much harder for him to make great music...

But he will be in his "prime" with this next album, because he has the autonomy to spit that street ish, being that it's a "reflection" of the movie.

And they are still droppin' an soundtrack for the movie as well, but Jay couldn't be on there based on the ERA (70's).

The movie is gonna be bananas.  The album is gonna be bananas.  And Nas possibly droppin' on the same day!?  

PRICELESS!

I cant lie this song is hot and the only stuff i liked from Jigga was Reasonable Doubt.  This beat is something u can bang in yo trunk i bet the c.d. quality is much better.  Jay is way more smarter then most niggas cause he made his own soundtrak to a movie if u try to do that now u gone be bitin him. He settin trends once again.

thekidd211 said:

I'm not crazy about Pharrell's singing on the hook but I like the song. I think Jay's words are coming back to make him look like he predicted the future "I'm so far ahead of my time I'm 'bout to start another life, look behind you I'm 'bout to pass you twice". Everybody complained that they couldn't get down w/ all the champagne popping, different car driving' I got a lot of cake talk so people w/ that hustler talk starting getting fans. Now, it seems like Jay is going back to that 80's talk that some of y'all don't even get. That was when the hustle game was CRAZY!!! Jay is a genius. His older fan base that remembers the hustlers driving those red drop M3's w/ the full red ang green Gucci suits will appreciate this. The younger folk who are influenced by everything that's "now" will appreciate it after the movie hits and you start being told it's cool. Either way, it's a win. As for the song, it's cool...like a 7/10 but a 7 for Jay is a 10 for any other rapper.

BTW....50 better than Jay or Pac......HUH???? Did you even listen to rap prior 4 years ago???

the song is nice,but i do not think jay is trying to say he still slang. he was inspired by the movie so it is like he is giving you the movie in rap form. which is a great concept, i do agree though the song is not his best work. but it does show he can still flip it.

Real rap may be on it's way back. Nas bout to drop one, Eminem, Dre are in the studio, Common & Talib dropped earlier this year.  Lupe and Luda are on the way... It's crazy to say but hip hop might have been ressurected as of september 11th.

This is just my opinion so all y'all ho @zz sensitive ni99az don't need to respond to my shit..I'm not a Cam fan but what he said about Hov coming back looking like MJ when he played for the Wizards is true..Ni99az have gotten so use to listening to the bullshit that they can't tell what good music is anymore..Maybe he feels as if he don't have any competition so he's gotten kind of lazy but this shit ain't for me..I'm a big Jay fan but the last album, verse off of I get money remix, and this shit here shows that he ain't the same Jay..He lost a step or two..I could probably name off 10 ni99az who would've did him in on this track..That don't mean they better overall but he ain't competitive no more with the flow...Weezy definitely ain't the best but I think he would've did the track more justice..

This song is okay. The whole idea of doing a soundtrack by himself to the movie American Gangster even though it has a soundtrack of its own is corny though.  I wish they would be original. I just got finished listening to "Lyrics of Fury" and "In The Ghetto" "nobody's smiling" by the "R" and I could only shake my head at the level of artistic creativity he put into those songs. Jay-Z "God Emcee"? I really do not think he is that great of an emcee.

One could even question his "realness", back on Reasonable Doubt he was talking about being Rayful Edmunds like, really? So you were making 4 million a week selling coke and then turned into a snitch? I know my peoples was like "wha?" when we heard that. You don't shout a snitch nigga out, and then on top of that you say it like you got his shine or something. At that point I was like this dude is on some exaggeration type shit, and sure enough, his whole career has been one big exaggeration.

I highly doubt that he was making money like Ray on the streets. I grew up under old heads that survived that whole era.  Cats like Curtbone took the stand. Steve Fuller got hit in the head at the Safeway. Mike Fray got hit up over some bs. That snitch nigger Alpo ratted out Wayne Perry. The Roc making bitch ass movies about that shit when neither Jay nor Dame Dash would have survived in DC. Them New York cats had no win down here, they were paying for "protection" (none of that went into their bitch ass movies though) and after that era most of them never came back with the exception of a few uptown. They did hit up some Maryland and Virginia suburbs but they strayed from the Capitol. See what I'm saying about rappers not even knowing shit about cats in the game especially those from outside their own city. Take this as a history lesson. Sometimes a little humility is a good thing for a big man. I'll let the kids keep swinging from these studio gangsters nuts.

Hate the hook.

Beat is light-weight fire.

Flow is different, but still dope. Rather hear it in a car than on a computer to really judge it.


And please...will all Jay-Z haters or fans stop that "Jay needs that Reasonable Doubt Flow" sh*t.

Most people who copped R.D. that sh*t came out in 96. 11 years ago. That means most of you people are like me within the ages of 28-35. If you still have "Reasonable Doubt" mindsets, or still live like you lived in 96 you need to get out your mama's basement and grow up.

My bad...that rant came from some other replies on another page.

@ Streetweyez Sayles

We really need to stop digging into who is real and who isn't. It's safe to say damn near ALL rappers are lying in their lyrics.

Ice Cube at one point was the hardest dude around, but come to find out he was a better actor on records than in movies.

Biggie was a catholic school kid,

Pac wasn't from any hood, just bounced around different homes.

Nas, DMX, Scarface, G Rap, Jeezy, etc.

So I really don't care about era's rappers come from, how much coke they REALLY pushed. It comes down to this,

did Jay-Z put out great work? Did he changed the game at one point? Does he have dope quotes? Does he rip on posse cuts?

To me all those answers are yes.

People can only compare Jay-Z to Old Jay-Z. Not Weezie, Kanye or anyone else.

So for that in itself means he's dope ass hell.

People need to stop knit picking on background and shit. Nobody's resume is what it states. Not even the President.

Jay-z is writen again! You can tell this shit
aint off of the dome. This aint that hova
shit, this some Jay-z the artist type shit.
He don't put no energy or emotion into it.  
Jay-z has mad different types of flows.
I think you have to respect this in away
that Jay aint tryin to compeat with anyone.
I think he is just makin this kind of music
because it's something he wants to do.
He given real jay fans some substance to
run with. Like he said "you can compare his
prime to rakim". He has nothing to prove
he a legend already. He just makin tracks now.

Here is how I break down Jayz different styles of flow:

jigga Jayz- This is that fast Jaz-o type of flow
Hov- Is that God MC shit. That bragin type shit. One take
Jigga- Is that flashy lyrical hustler word play type flow
Jay-z- Is that classic commercial type flow sounds writen
JAY- media aware type flow, concious talk
corporate j= flow about money and business

old freestyles before RD= jigga Jayz
rd= jay-z
imylt= jay-z
HKL=jigga
Vol3=jay-z,jigga,hov
dyn=hov
blu=jay/hov
blu2=hov/jay

First off the new joint is tight,, different flow from what I'm use to when it comes to Jay but it's tight IMO..
People always talk about they want Jay to go back to the Reasonable Doubt Days, BP1 days, The Dynasty Days.. WTF was he rapping about on those cd's? Exactly. Haters find any and every way possible to hate on another man. That man doing his thing, your fav rapper can only sit back and wish he had it like that.. Jay got that money game on lock, fine azz female and can flow is azz off.. Now that I think about it, the more some hate,, the richer dude gets.. I'm sure he's thanking you each and everytime he looks at his bank acct.

this is my opinon on Jay'stypes of flow, what do you think

          /\  /\  /\  /\  /\  /\  /\  /\  /\  /\  /\  /\  /\

That is a good analysis of personality portraid on each album...
I guess there diffrent moods for a particular time frame when Jay is creating his music... I guess that why people can feel his music because he is a human like us all. He is just very articulate on how he expresses that emotion... We all have our good, bad, cocky, depressed, etc. days  

The Song is good in my oppinion... Old school flow.. I guess he has nothing to prove.. But I like that I can listen to the song even if the beat is not all that creative and feel what Jay is saying because once I started listening to how the beat fazed out in my mind and I was trying to decipher his word... I have to hear more to really have a solid oppinion

When I heard JAY spit on Squeeze first ask questions last....
My mouth dropped to the floor.

For anyone that says they put 50 over Pac is straight phucked up, not that's real talk...

Dummies, didn't you hear 50 say, "I want them to love me, like they love Pac!"  Now what does that tell you..
Pac is in the Guinness World Records for the most records sold by a solo hip hop/rap artist.
50 better then Pac.....  You shoud kill ya self...  
Everybody tryin' to be Pac, even you....  Losers!!!

The track by Jay was OK, nothing to be excited over...

when he stop selling drugs? hopefully its more so for the movie &  he not feeding into the im not a rapper im a drug dealer trend. earlier today i wasnt sure about this song but after hearing it a 2nd & 3rd time i positive i dont like it. jay verses come off okay  but that beat is kind of lame plus we got en vogue exscuse me pharelle on the hook. the neptunes gotta to have some better beats than that one.

YoungmoneyVirgo said:

pretty tight beat and like everyone pretty much has said, jay is just tighter than all the other rappers pretty much so of course this is tight.  The best thing would have been if since nas signed to def jam that they would have done a collabo, and that would be fire.  but two solo albums is good also

the track is decent, pharrell has lost his desire to make tracks, but also his sound is not whats really catching ears when we have 3 million crank songs, or 50 million samples, i guess we're tired of hearing a composition of instruments, but jay could've went harder on this track but if people say why is still talking about sellin crack, y is 50 still talkin bout, he dont sell nothin but vitamin water now, and on j last album yall came at his dome for not reppin the hood, and whoeva said 50 is on j level KILL YASELF!!!! 50 got a long way to go, to catch j or pac

@ K ROB

Don't get me wrong bruh it's some songs off of Kingdom Come I dig but overall I expected more from him..His topics aren't very interesting to me anymore because i'm not living that kind of life..It's the same with 50 when he first dropped..You heard the hunger and the lyrics were easier for more people to relate to..I can't relate to going to all these islands and drinking Ace of Spade and all the bourgeois shit .I'm a regular ni99a that still drink Henn, Courvosier, Grey Goose and shit like that..Hell every now and then you might find me chilling with a 40...His lyrics use to fly over some ni99az heads but now it's the topics in his lyrics..The things he use to mention in his songs were not that hard to obtain but he's on some real commercial shit now...Overall he's still Jay and I'd put my money on him over any ni99a in the game right now though song for song...Like I said he set the bar kind of high and now he's not even touching it and it's easier for us to see it with him..

@ GawgaBwoy770

I was feeling you on the "Jay lost his hunger" stuff, but it bugs me out when people say they can't relate to drinking ace of spades or going to the islands.

No offense if you're a regular nigga then get yah shit up. Nobody is saying you have to be 350 million dollar man but shit ball on a budget.

Can't go to the Camen Islands go to South Beach. Can't get you 5 houses, own 1.

How come dudes can't relate to what Jay Z is saying on an album but can relate to a Scarface movie? Or enjoy a Scarface movie?

Because it's a character. O-Dogg, Denzel in Training Day, Dough Boy Tony Montana whoever they're all characters. SO what Hov is doing is just that painting pictures with words.

I'm not saying you're confined to the block GawgaBwoy770 but somebody who travels, gets out, read books, hit up different countries (Shit flights are cheap) you can see more than "Reasonable Doubt" & "Blueprint" rhymes. You can relate to "Kingdom Come" type shit.

And don't get me wrong, the album wasn't his best, but it sure wasn't wack and I like that album better than Kanye's new one.

-Jay-Z's song "Dig It a Hole" is no fucking lie... artists like Cam have hung themselves for even steppin to dude... Jay is just "kickin away the chair" as they put themselves in the air...

@ nercity07

I feel exactly what you saying about the "normal ni99a" and normal goals but I wasn't talking about like that..It's like some of these ni99az are throwing the shit up in our face and that's not where hip hop came from..It's either that or they are promoting some company that don't give a fuck about us or our communities..It's like they are selling the kids out for an endorsement check..Don't get me wrong pimping i've lived in a few states, been on a few cruises and actually lived outside of the states for a year..But at the same time I wish ni99az went back to making uplifting, heartfelt music instead of all the bragging and shit..Pac never talked about his money like that..That's not where it's at..Our music came from our pain and problems not from talking about all our material possessions and bullshit we can't take with us once our last breath is gone..We sending the wrong messages to these young ni99az and wonder why they so wild and ignorant when it come to chasing the almight dollar...We don't promote unity, self preservation, self discipline, healthy living or anything..The music is stagnant and ain't really growing much besides talking about the new fads...Jay understand ni99az pain and is one of the best at painting the picture and I think he should use it in a positive way bc we all pay for the shit we know is morally wrong one day...If you ever seen the episode of the Wayans where Marlon was acting in these commercials that promoted bad living for black people..They depicted all of us as chicken eating beer drinkers and he had to make a decision to keep promoting that lifestyle or stand up for his people..He stood up but a lot of these rappers don't have a backbone to stand up with bc of the money these corporations are paying them...All of this don't pertain to Jay but he kind of kick started the braggadocio lifestyle and ran with it...We need more of the shit he was spitting on 30's the new 20...

Damn, Jay Z trying to be Rakim?  Why not just get the real Rakim instead of a weak imitation?

Yeah, that's right.  I'm a 70s baby... Rakim would eat Jay Z any day of the week.  I mean, I like what Hova's brought to the game but I ain't giving him a free pass when he drops some hot garbage that sounds like LL Cool J's ghostwriters wrote it.

That's two straight bricks that Jigga has thrown up now... 'I Get Money Remix' he was actually sonned by 50 and now this track.  

If rap veterans are going to 'come back' or try to 'save the game' then come with something dope or stay your ass retired.

@   GawgaBwoy770

Yo, Son.  I am feeling your last comment 100%.   That is the reason why a dude like Lupe will make a track like "Dumb it Down".  He is basically saying his music has more substance and thi thing is more than just the money.  This music thing has become one big hustle, just like hustling in corporate America or hustling on the block.  As much as these rappers claim to be "keeping it real", a majority of them sell their soul to the industry chasing that paper.  

If anything, I wished these rappers and athletes had more of a robin hood mindset.  Take that guap from these industry folks and bring more upliftment into these poor hoods and really improve their folks.  Instead, we have what you said...a bunch of bragging dudes who shove their materials possessions on the screen and have our young brothers killing each other.

Anywayz  He talkin bout dope, soooo! i'm not a Jay Z Fan all like that I didnt think this was suppose to be on the soundtrack I thought it was 2 different things. But I dont know. I dont keep up like that...  But yall niggas keep talkin bout niggas still talkin bout sellin dope and they still aint on the block. Whats ya point? you'd respect them more if they were still selling???  Yall forgot Pac ( The Greatest rapper Ever) Some of his songs he talked about shit he never done. He wasnt a slanger like that but he wrote in a drug dealers perspective told their story through his music without sounding Fake.. I mean if a nigga never sold dope and talk about like its from what he did thats fake that nigga should stop rappin.  But out of all the rappers out there that still talk about dope. T.I, Jeezy, Weezy, Rick Ross etc..  How many of them niggasreally still doin it?   if you believe they do you then lost your mind and bought into the perception. Just because a rapper is consistent in talkin about doesnt mean they're still doin it. It just means, thats all they know and in order to personalize their music and keep dumb niggas like some of yall feeling like they're the realist nigga in it they talk about it as if they still live it. At the minimum a couple of those niggas might have some hand in it.. Not touching it tho.. Thats my opinion. Too many niggas confuse selling dope, still in the hood, shootin niggas etc as being a real nigga.

so im supposed to really believe he doesnt WRITE RHYMES yeah sure whatever  IF SO WHY HAVE WE NEVER SEEN THIS SO CALLED AMAZING TALENT      

the hook is stolen from en vogue's r&B song lol

and how can you be proud of selling drugs to your own people.  how many people are dead, how many people got robbed, how many homes got broken into. so they could get their fix.  how many  kids got learning disorders and and things like ADD (attention deficit order) cause their mothers were on the crack that you've bragged about selling since 1996.      

this is amazing the public (you fans)  are following and worshiping a DEVIL         wow!!!!

This song is fresh with the old school flow, I love his original flow more though.

But I feel you cause at the same time he would talk like he was a broke nigga on the next track. But I aint no Pac head like that more of a Biggie nigga. But Jay is better then most these cats cause he is deep he do have content to his music I dont think he lost a step it just aint no fire under his ass like when him and nas had it out. The Regan and Oliver north line about the iran contra shit is sick. That is some deep shit about the CIA involvment with puttin crack in the hood and matter fact they say the real rick ross was connected to all that indirectly. But at any rate stay on some real shit and get off all that fuck this nigga fuck that nigga shit that aint what this shits for. People gonna lack common sense you aint gotta point it out pimpin.

@ Mr. Baxter Stockman

I can respect your last comments..Now of course i'm going to say fuck a ni99a if they saying fuck me point blank period..I don't start the bullshit but like I said previously I ain't about to let nobody say no slick shit to my face or anywhere else without me responding...I ain't that kind of ni99a...Now as far as Pac talking about his material possessions he did it but not like that...I'm a big Pac fan so I know about Str8 Ballin and that shit don't have nothing to do with braggin...I'll help you remember how it started off...

I'm up before the sunrise first to hit the block, lil bad mufucka wit a pocket full of rocks,

....I could go on but you should be able to remember from this verse that the song had nothing to do with Ballin in that sense..He was on some hood ni99a balling shit...Even when he talked about his cars in the music it wasn't on some look what I got kind of shit..He might say it like i'm rolling down the freeway in my double R getting high...Not the same as what these ni99az doing nowadays..But Jay is nice lyrically and so was Big but they aren't the kind of ni99az that are good ambassadors to the game..Ni99az don't have they people in mind when they make this music and they'll tell us go out and buy some 300 dollar jeans but I don't hear shit about taking care of your responsibilities as a man or father...Pac gave us his good and bad...Most of these ni99az don't talk about they bad enough and we as consumers need to understand life ain't all about the money even once you get it..Most of these rap ni99az have more problems with money than they did when they was broke..That's what make ni99az like Pac who he was bc he hit on all topics..He could give you a "keep ya head" then " ya wonder why they call you bitch " but both was needed bc it's both kinds of women out there...But anyway Jay is the King of NY but ni99az like Styles P and Jada are the underground kingz bc they bring that heartfelt music...I don't think Jay got a song in his catalogue that can come close to comparing to Styles P song "I'm black" bc it ain't just all about the lyrics and patterns it's about the substance and truth in what's said..

I had to go back and listen to Str8 Ballin since you brought it up..Yea, you got the whole concept of the song wrong you just took the title of the song and assumed that's what he meant...This that real ni99a early 90's on the block hustling and toting pistols trying to make it to another day...Anyway, keep it on some real ni99a shit and come at me intelligently and you'll get the same but  if you come sideways i'm gonna speak my mind...Keep it pimpin

@GawgaBwoy770

Yo du, you are the only person on these bulletins whose comments make any sense and are true. Everyone else just sayin shit b/c someone is they're favorite rapper and not actually listening to the music.
Now dont get me wrong. I love Jigga. Since back in the day when I was just a little kid in the ghetto. But he's definitely lost more than a step or two. And fo reals, whoever compared JayZ and the whole Jordan comeback is right. You cant leave the game for years and then come back and expect to be on top. There are soo many kats out there now that can lyrically spit better than J, they may just not have as good of flow. I can think of a few who would have spit better on this track. I've said before on other bulletins that I like Wayne but I'm not the biggest fan but I know he would have murdered Jigga on this track. And in my opinion, (and I said in my opinion) so none of you start hatin back at me on dome dumb shit, but Wayne could be the best rapper in the game right now. He does talk about some dumb shit sometimes but damn, when you put out as many songs as he does you're allowed to have one or two that don't make it huge. I mean damn, the whole last J album was a bust and disappointment. As far as me saying he's better, it's because be honest with yourself. He's the only rapper out there that actually finished and graduated college. And he didn't just go to some bullshit college and got a degree which he'll never use, He went to art school to learn more english and how to articulate and mastered his flow. He may be gettin retarded everyday on that lean but his punchlines actually make you have to think about the whole verse and then you're like damn, that was cold. How J used to do it back in the day. Let me Reiterate-Back in the day. I just hope Jay's next album will be better than this garbage

Oh, and one more thing. 50 is trash. Are you serious whoever said he's fire? He sucks. He needs to take some more roids or something and throw in the towel and get out of the rap game. The game destroys him and why you think 50's beats are more wack than The Game's when Dre is makin them for both of them? B/c he saves the good beats for The Game who is actually going to sell records and make a hot song on his beat. That's me just hatin though b/c I hate 50 so I'm open to criticism on this post.

Sound like he is to much into hip hop. who cares about rappers personal life. its about good music. thats whats killing hip hop know. everyone so rap up in what a rapper doing or how much money they have or how gansta they are. cause everyone wants to imitate a rapper style.

But back to the song its str8. nice track to listen to. will drop it on the ipod. kind of a southern feel to it. I guess the south have a mark on the east. Plus stoping hatin on 50. thats a female trait. you cant say u never like one of his songs. he got some fire out.

SECOND, to all the niggaz talkin bout Jay ain't say nothin bout doin the soundtrack until September 18, that's because that's when the movie was shown to him idiots.  That's why he is naming the CD that, ta feed off/soundtrack the movie, that was offered to him.  Two of the main stars are people who respect him(Denzel and T.I.) but you'd know that if you paid attention to rumors.

LAST, Jay ain't tryin ta outshine Kanye, quit foolin yourself.  He made sure Kanye got his sells before that I get Money Remix came out, he wants Kanye ta do well.  Just like niggaz ta create beef.  Oh, and if Def Jam don't resign Jay as President/CEO(which ever it is) they stupid.

lol @ this turning into a Pac Debate

@   GawgaBwoy770  

I have a love/hate relationship with Pac (No homo)

Living in Oakland most of my life Pac to me wasn't top ANYTHING until he signed to Death Row and started poppin sh*t about Biggie & Bad Boy.

He had 3-4 albums that were all luke warm. Yes, he had hits like "Dear Mama", "So Many Tears", "Brenda Has a Baby" & "I Get Around" plus some hot lyrics on E-40's "Dusted and Disqusted" and a few others, but Pac to me was never major until he beefed.

Without Beef Pac would have been B + (If that).

When people were like "Pac was a leader" no he wasn't. He needed to be lead that's why he sold his soul to Suge. Pac had so many garbage or below average songs it's crazy.

Take away the beef songs and Pac is above average. But to each is own. you have your reasons for feeling he's much more.

@ nercity07

You must be a youngster bc Pac was already the biggest name in hip hop before he got locked up..You have to understand he had already done a few movies plus "Me Against the World" was a classic plain and simple..The only thing Pac needed Suge for was his bail money but once he signed to Deathrow to get out shit went heywire for a number of reasons...Mainly bc Suge used the beef that was already there bc of Big's supposed involvement in Pac getting robbed plus the problem's he had with Puff on some rival ceo type shit...You can't even think of another rapper that had the kind of following Pac had..He was the only young nigga in the game that earned the older people respect bc of his Panther influence and the gems he gave when he wasn't on the beef shit but they understood that as well..Overall Pac was the only rapper that really put his true feelings about life on wax and showed it from all angles and dimensions..The rappers nowadays are either players, pimps, hustlas, killas or gangsters..Well Pac was the narrator that really showed all those sides but showed the negativity and not just glorified those situations...Most of Pac songs that you may consider garbage probably were never supposed to be released in the first place and everybody have a few but he gave full cd's worth listening to..Pac was a mix of Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Public Enemy and NWA...Tell me that ain't a hellafied combination...

@ The Prince Cipal

I'll let you have that bc most of the time you probably don't see where the bullshit internet beefs come from but I don't initiate them..I just speak my piece once somebody say something to me but it's cool..I'm trying to give niggaz food for thought and gain some myself in the process. If we did this more often and more niggaz were informed to a lot of the issues discussed on here we'd be a problem out their in society but in a good way..

@   GawgaBwoy770

That's the thing Gawga, I'm not a younsta (in my 30's) I'm from Oakland Ca born and raised. Pac's influence was from his Mom's and adopted uncles (Panthers). She did real time like a G instead of being scared like Pac and selling his soul to Suge to get out.

He wasn't a legend before his Death Row days, he was just an above average rapper.

When Ice Cube was making "Death Certificate" MC Eigt, DJ Quick, Too Short even Spice 1 was making music Pac was the LAST CD purchased out in the West. Even Heiro was getting push.

Nobody REALLY started checkin for this dude until he got shot the first time, got that rape charge, beat up the Twin Movie Brothers and did that Vibe article bad talking Bad Boy.

Even when the movie Juice came out he was respected as a cold character, but he wasn't major until major problems happened to him. Please note

Pac had been out 6 plus years (numerous so so albums)before "All Eyes on Me" came out.

NAME 6 songs before "Me Against The World) on each of those other albums that were great songs? NAME EM!

Pac wasn't pushing major units, didn't have a gang of major quotes, posse cuts where he murdered tracks (Doing tracks with your crew doesn't count cause even Em' & Big murdered their crews on other tracks but still ripped posse cuts with legendary rappers) or even in top 10 rapper's talk until he started beefin.

Even when Snoop came out on the Chronic & Doggystyle he was above Pac. Pac has classic songs there's no doubt. But to say he has an ALBUM (Full body of work) that is on the level of Doggystyle, Illmatic, Reasonable Doubt, The Blueprint, Ready to Die, Life After Death, A tribe Called Quest 2nd Album, Death Certificate, Amerrikkka's Most Wanted, It Takes A Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back you're lying to yourself and to the rest of the people reading.

Pac was a great character. Probably would have won an academy award.

Great music but to say he has 1 album you can listen to all the way through.... come on man. Come on lol.

Jay-z is writen again! You can tell this shit
aint off of the dome. This aint that hova
shit, this some Jay-z the artist type shit.
He don't put no energy or emotion into it.  
Jay-z has mad different types of flows.
I think you have to respect this in away
that Jay aint tryin to compeat with anyone.
I think he is just makin this kind of music
because it's something he wants to do.
He given real jay fans some substance to
run with. Like he said "you can compare his
prime to rakim". He has nothing to prove
he a legend already. He just makin tracks now.

Here is how I break down Jayz different styles of flow:

jigga Jayz- This is that fast Jaz-o type of flow
Hov- Is that God MC shit. That bragin type shit. One take
Jigga- Is that flashy lyrical hustler word play type flow
Jay-z- Is that classic commercial type flow sounds writen
JAY- media aware type flow, concious talk
corporate j= flow about money and business

old freestyles before RD= jigga Jayz
rd= jay-z
imylt= jay-z
HKL=jigga
Vol3=jay-z,jigga,hov
dyn=hov
blu=jay/hov
blu2=hov/jay
BA= hov/Jay-z/corp j
kc=hov/corp j
Blue Magic= Jay-z

this is my opinon on Jay'stypes of flow, what do you think

You aint say my name but I know you second and last comment was directed at me.....So I'm a speak on it...

Most Propa M Holla said:

SECOND, to all the niggaz talkin bout Jay ain't say nothin bout doin the soundtrack until September 18, that's because that's when the movie was shown to him idiots.

R.H.H.S 1977 responses:

Bruh when you Jay-Z status you don't have to wait for a movie trailer preview before you agree to do the soundtrack....JAY-Z is probably the only rapper who could get and advance script of the movie if he really wanted....

Denzel was on 106 & Park when he was promoting his Deja Vu movie talking about "American Gangster" (that was a least a year ago)...He talked about Common and T.I. in the movie but he ain't mention nothing about Jay-Z doin a soundtrack...

And if you didn't know American Gangster Movie has it's own soundtrack already....

Reported by ign.com:

Jay-Z's American Gangster will be a separate project from the film's official motion picture soundtrack. Jay-Z's album will be a musical and lyrical interpretation of moments from the film, which is based on the life of notorious New York crime lord Frank Lucas.

@Most Propa M Holla said:

LAST, Jay ain't tryin ta outshine Kanye, quit foolin yourself.  He made sure Kanye got his sells before that I get Money Remix came out, he wants Kanye ta do well.  Just like niggaz ta create beef.  Oh, and if Def Jam don't resign Jay as President/CEO(which ever it is) they stupid.


R.H.H.S 1977 response:

Jay-Z has his own record company which = Rocafella Records

Jay-Z is the CEO/President of a record label = DEF JAM

Ofcourse he's going to wait until Kanye's record comes out before he does a song wit JAY-Z and Kanye's competition which is G-UNIT....

And for the record I don't repeat or pay attention to rumors....I only state facts... I keep it 90% factual and 10% opinionated anytime I post a comment on here.. Believe Dat..

So if you were trying to call me out you gone have to come a little Mo Propa than that homie....RealTalk.

@ GawgaBwoy770 & Rendon

First off gawg you need a job or a hobbie cause you on this sh*t more then the owner of this site is. I dont care if people pay attention to my comment. Im not looking for attention, or a friend. but I see you do, maybe u need to get out more. But what im getting at wit u is why u act so hard on the computer like you going to do something. no body on this shit is gansta. and dont believe what u hear in rap its just entertainment. trust me every G I know is not worried about rap. to busy gettin money.  

And for your buddy Ren. If you think game is the king of this hip hop sh*t then u need to get off this site because u dont know what the fu*k u talkin about. You can call me pussy long as u put the GET before it. And as far as a east cost or north guy im a midwest dude. plus I lived in the south for 2 years. so like my ni99a Ye say YOU Cant Tell Me Nothing!

You dont need to reply to me because you both are groupies to this rap sh*T. And if im ignorant so be. because I get money and I graduated from college with my bachelors degree. So im livin it and gettin it. What that say about YOU!

Jay-z is on point with this joint. It's a different feel but it is growing on me a little. It's  more of a hustla theme you know. It's only right to somehow squeeze him in for the kill with this one.

What do you mean by 50 is better at this point?  Better at what?

Gotta love the slow flow but I don't think this is 'blueprint-esque' at all.  Can't wait for the album.

The song is old school.  But what would be cool is if LL, Rakim, or KRS-1 got on the track.  That would be crazy!!!
