I remember hearing this live On the stream this video has so much more meaning now please remember to appreciate the ones you have around you now because they can be gone in a heartbeat
When Mister Cee said run it back in a high pitch voice was epic. As well as the Funk Flex, I am the audio line lol very good moment in hip hop, miss these moments
Yo Flex and Mister Cee are TRIPPIN!!!! I watched this whole thing twice and I was str8 rollin both times!! I miss NY and HOT 97. Nobody keeps it real like cats do in the city. Flex and Hov are airing out the industry right now!! AIR IT OUT!!!!!
Jay needs to have a death of autotune remix and it should look like this Jay Z ft Nas, Jadakiss, J Cole and Fabolous!!!!! JAY IF U EVEN SEE THIS!!!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!!!!!! New York we got a lot happening right now but we need to do like Pun said "5 boroughs throughly reppin/lets unite the city and STEP TO THE WORLD AS A WEAPON" NY STAND UP!!!!! RIP AUTOTUNE!
jigga said somthing on that record that is just hitting me he said"i am a multi mollionair so how is it iam still the hardest nigga out" and that shit is the true. who else in rap can shout down ny and the world of hip hop whit one single. HOVA
JAY Z is lyrically taking it back to reasonable doubt status on this track !!!! I just knew he could not stay quiet too long with all the suspect music being made and making subpar artist making money. Now i know why JAY Z quit Def Jam ! HE WAS TRYING TO SUPPORT THAT CATCHY ringtone gimmick rap that is making no lyric having one hit wonders!!!! I mean come on people did really think nas and jada were the only ones pissed off with the direction of hip hop ! Big up to Jay z & Mister Cee !!!!
I co-sign this. Nas is def. the better lyricist of the two, but Jay is the better overall MC. He's more versatile w/ his flow. I also give Nas the nod in terms of subject matter, but Jay can crossover and do the deep joints like Nas (ex. This Cant Be Life, Where Have U Been) along w/ the commercial joints (Hard Knock Life, Big Pimpin) whereas Nas cant really crossover & do commercial joints
One more post before I go to la la land....You Jay, If you read this post.....I'm gonna need the remix with M.O.P....just to keep it aggressive for N.Y.....appreciate the inspiration...keep them real producers paid....And to my N.Y. niggaz, you have forgotten the formula.....808's and Hooks, we started it with Mantronix. Do the knowledge,...Jay got that soul lane, don't copy bring back them hooks like Naughty did....this one is one me.
i dont see why everybodys so excited.jay has always spoken against fads in hip hop,even if he has taken part in them at some time! people over do shit and sometimes they need a shock!
Ahhhhhh BROOKLYN STAND THE FCK UP, IF YOU LOVE HIP HIP STAND UP, IF YOU DO THE STANKY LEG AND GET LIGHT SLEEP IN THE DIRT WITH AUTOTUNES, IF ROCK WITH GAME SLEEP IN THE DIRT WITH THE TOO!!!
I am feeling this, I hate that autotune shyt 4 real. It's was cool when T pain did but now diddy trying 2 do that is crazy. I am from Detroit but I love NY 2 death. I hope this put a end 2 everyone da autotune bs. Every1 listen leave that 2 Tpain.
WE EXCITED CUZ AUTOTUNE IS GARBAGE!!! This is destroying the music industry as we know it. And if it wasnt adressed, 10 years down the line... Black music as we know it would be suffereing more than it is now. Like hip hop and r n b would be inferior to shit like pop and rock.
I can honestly say that I do not turn T-Pain up, but to each his own. There are some artist today that I think are ok, but none can mess with the Real HIP HOP artist. I like Hova; ith that said I am a reasonable doubt fan first and then the rest of his stuff. In my opinion, if you are an artist that hit the scene after 96' or 97'. YOU are probably not hip hop. You are a RAPPER. No artist today can touch BIG, WU, GANGSTARR, SCARFACE ETC... Rock what you feel...
Not when you look at the other factors like: Nas' affect on Hip Hop in 93', his age when he put Illmatic out, and his lyrical skill. Jay wasn't on his level in 93' or 96'.
"...at the end of the day I didn't always want to listen to an MC kick 'knowledge' in my ear. BOTTOM LINE. I wanted that pure mafioso entertainment." You proved my point exactly. You dont really care for lyrical skill. You should probably stop calling people "simple minded" if you prefer simple music. Jay is ill tho.
Jay is past the stage of being "hot" He's just Jay. He's worked hard for it. U cant tell me that Rakim or Big if he was alive wouldnt want the carrer Jay has had. I mean the success now. Not the actual muical style. But I mean everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And dont tell me nuthin about im not respecting those who came before us. Cuz Rakim is one of my favorite rappers too. I love all his joints. Hell Im A New Yorker. Come on son. Watch yourself. LOL. But facts are facts.
jay is still running this rap shit, all yall nigga stop hating on these hot 97 peoples they were premiering the for the first time and they had the exclusive they didt want other "radio stations" just copying the song and playing 30 mins later saying they had the exclusive its a common mixtape dj and radio pratice. But yall niggas need to stop hating on jay and stop hating on hot 97.
Hold uP...Ya man Hov went in (pause)...come on, I just debut it at the strip club...bitches was poppin to it..big up Diggiwaxxx....Im there Flexx. Fuck a auto Tune. Jay steppin on toes.
the song dont have to be hot. which it is. but the message is clear. the reason hip hop is dead is because artist take the safe route and use the same sound ova ova to stay on top like ron browz and shit....no auto tune is ova
That's comical.... Rule 1; Talk what you know and DONT talk what you don't know. I am 34 yrs old and was rockin Kangols before Cool J...I am a VET of the game that is still in the game. Stay rockin your skinny jeans and bangin that soldier boy. And don't hurt yourself trying to figure out what the real hip hop artist are saying.
it's not because Jay-Z has more talent, it's because Jay appeals to people w/ a more adolescent mindframe. That's why Jay tried to dis Nas for "kickin' knowledge". Nas is more focused on lyrical content instead of material possesions. Don't get me wrong Jay is one of the greatest of all time but, you have to remember, he barrowed from alot of MC's (including Nas), he lost to Nas, Em ate him alive on Renegade, and it is also stated that DMX ate him in a battle. You probably need to go back and...
OK mister high horse i guess u think u just proved somethin. but ima put it to you just like this. if i go to cop the new hot shoes and i try the bitches on but it dont fit right and i take em off cuz it aint right and it aint me does that mean i hopped on the fad? lmao if he dont actually release anything your whole comment is invalid . =]
listen to the whole battle. Go listen to every Nas and Jay-Z album. After that, brush up on your Hip Hop history. Lastly, if you're a true Hip Hop lover, you would know the record sales is not how you measure an MC's talent. You measure an MC by lyrical skill.
as a nas!!! and jay-z fan you buggin nas held back in distroying jays legacy?? wtf?? if anything jay-z brought nas back from da ashes like nas even said in ether i been pist on diss and forgoten word! he was when put out nastradamus i was like da only dude in 8th grade i remember still reppin everybody had jokes on me cuz i was still a nas fan after that album and oohcie wally lol and if anything ether had every intention in distroying jay legacy like wtf u talkin about? seriously?
Jay always to piggy back on something, and autotune is it for 2009. It's markting 101. He say's "It's not about the $, but why is he still making records?
Nas is better...Lyrically. Jay is better...Comercially. More people prefer lyrics they don't really have to think deeply about. Nas makes a song like "Black Girl Lost" or "One Mic" and he he doesn't sell. Lil' Wayne makes "Lollipop" and goes Platinum. That's why Hip Hop is......hhmmmm?
lol... and we dnt wanna make it seem that way but its just niggaz like andre 3000 (who happens to be one of my favorite rappers) dissapoint me when he says stuff like theres nothing wrong with rap music at all. It sounds like he's tryin to defend the south's wack music. Granted, NY, na d Westside have wackness too but its a ALOT from the south. I mean, besides Mims and Jim Jones/Dipset who in NY can u say really puts out trash? Its not a very big list I can tell you that much.
First of all, Jay is not as LYRICAL as Nas and a host of other MC's, even though his lyrical skill is upper echelon. Second, Beach Chair is hot, but it's only one song. Third, I don't need a dictionary to listen to Jay. Nothing he says goes over my head. I won't bother asking you if you needed one though.
So why is it that Rakim and Jay are around the same age and he's not as relevent as Hov. I sure you know what i mean when I say relevent. Yall need to get over it. Biggie and Pac are gone. Jay took the spot when they passed. U actin like Jay did a sin becoming raps biggest star... possibly becoming raps first LIVING icon.
U cannot be hiphop. u muct be a "rap" guy.... This is SOOO crazy U HAVE TO B HIPHOP 2 Apprciate it... If u dont "HEAR THIS" keep birdleggin fool, but just know U AINT HIPHOP!!!!!
