LA was definitely bumping, Jay. He always had good relationships with LA artists and LA radio at that time. He also wrote Still Dre for Dr. Dre.!! He wrote that whole song!!
That's RADIO stations, the labels PAY them to push certain songs, I learned that with "I'm a classic man" at first I couldn't stand it but my job is driving trucks so I played the 106 KMEL (Bay area hip hop & r&b station) and they would play it 14x in my 8hr shift to the point i went from not liking it to singing It word for word.. but IN THE STREETS we really ain't checking for Jay all like that.. we respect him for what he's done in the game but being that The Bay Area is home to entrepreneurs we more so like his business savvy better than his music
@Groovy Tony I respect your view. Hip hop is regional, and most people like to listen to rappers from their city or region. That's just normal. Jay Z is obviously a billionaire now, so music is his side hustle! Lol.
Omg Duke Who gives F if Hov Music doesn't play on the West coast. That's Find and Dandy. A matter of fact is your music even played? Sick of these clowns coming for Hov
I think it's a pretty safe bet at this point you can have a separate youtube channel called "Hov Talk" and it will do NUMBERS of just old zaggin coming on here complaining about Jay-Z. Your other channel could be dedicated to zaggin making up stories of what Suge DIDNT DO TO THEM and that will also do numbers. Because that is OBVIOUSLY what this entire youtube channe is about at this point.
Exactly! I’m trying to figure out what the hatred is. Never seen a successful black man get more hate than Jay. My question would be what are any of these guys accomplishing?
I heard everything in NY streets. From Laffy Taffy to Eastsidaz to dudes at the CD shop looking for Gheto Boys music. I even remember the whole wall full of mostly No Limit CDs at a local store called the Shacc on Pitkin avenue in Brooklyn
@@jaydadon777 NYC definitely don't fucc wit everybody. It took years for the south to get respect up there. If you're young then I get you feeling that way but if you're older then you should know better
@@29larron I'm 42. Why do you think so many older artist from the south who opened the doors all have the same stories? They were booed, called country bumpkins and not taken serious. We've always supported NYC in the south but I cant speak for the westside. Outkast had to let it be known and from that point on we started the take over.
Facts! I’m from the bay and none of my patnas ever rocked jay z like that. X and 50 are still played till this day out here! I’m shocked we got a video from art that is not related to the pac and biggie murders
Nah, fam. Jay Z was in heavy rotation on Power 106 in L.A.. I was a music nerd as a 90 teenager and I was glued to the radio. Hard Knock Life, Aint No Ngga, Can I Get A, Big Pimpin, Jigga My Ngga and others all got air time.
He hating and I rock with Spice but when Jay Z had Change The Game out that banged super hard on the West. And Everytime you listen to Still Dre NEWSFLASH NIGGA THATS JAY Z! So all of this talk is nonsense.
I fuck with spice 1 but gotta disagree on this jay z gets plenty of play adleast in the Bay Area. I’m mean not plenty but y’all know would I mean This ain’t 1996 anymore lol
The interviewer said in a video on the same topic (interview with Melly Mel) that his 2 favorite rappers of all time were 2Pac and Jay-z. I think he is just interested in what west coast artists think about Jay-Z. And i'm sure you noticed 2Pac is probably the main reason why this channel and vlad tv are so succesful. And i'm sure you know 2Pac hated Biggie and didn't respect Jay-z so i don't understand why guys like you are hurt in their feelings! What you want West Coast artists to say? That they fuck with Jay-z while it ain't true?? It is like current generation who get in their feelings when a few people say Drake or Kendrick aren't their favorite rappers.
The only reason why Jayz is talked so much is because he is a dope rapper, if he was spice, no one would care is he did not wash his clothes this month.
🤨 Naw I can't agree with that, Early 2000's Jay Z music was definitely poppin out here, Let's not pretend like Jay didn't have niggas wearing button ups and rocawear on the west, And yes niggas was definitely bumpin Jay z, Ass someone that was in highschool from 2000-2004, Yes niggas was at that time
That's not a good example. Jay-Z just wrote part of it. That us a classic West Coast song but it's still a hundred others that will het played way before that one.
Jay-Z gets rotation in the clubs and on the streets. Not sure what he is talking about, but he is making the west sound like we sour. That era is over.
Like Spice knows what gets played on the entire west coast. Spice 1 gets no play on the east coast. See how we can play that game? I’m not from either coast.
Lmao nigga sit yo ass down. Jay was nice but i always got them "loner","too cool for you" vibes from him and its showing now. Hell of a rapper and businessman but u can tell he didnt really connect with people outside of his circle.
Jay-z did 1.5 million ticket sales at the Honda center in California, 50 cent tours and shows are usually in other countries. He's like David Hasselhoff out in Europe
50 has American album sales did Jay Z it’s not even close to….we don’t have to talk. Worldwide…and 50 still is bigger….jay just has the culture as of today…you kno everyone who follows what the next mfs doing that’s why he’s big no including his wife…but that back to the culture like I was sayin…even jay kno 50 bigger 😂
@@FreeAgentplaya nigga y'all are so delusional. Jay is big worldwide too. Y'all stupid fuks need to realize 50 is a movie star. That contributes to his popularity. Get rich or die trying the movie also made people listen to 50. Understand Jay z is hot strictly off his music y'all niggas be talking bout rappers turned movie stars and wonder why they so popular 🤣 it's because they always on the scene. Jay z ain't never did shit but rap. Never been on TV nigga. Learn something fr
@@FreeAgentplaya nigga said state property 🤣🤣🤣 a low budget movie where you saw Jay z in one scene and the nigga ain't say a word 😂😂😂😂😂 you really think that's a good comparison??
*If he didn't LOOK and SOUND like Elmer Fudd, then maybe Niqqqqqaz wouldn't make fun of him* BTW I got 3 rides with systems in each = Gaaaaaay-Z gets "0 play in my Rides".
Jay-Z's name keeps coming up on lame's podcasts from lame rappers. That's all you need to no. Everybody always has something to say abut Jay-Z.Lames can't keep his name out of there mouth's
So was Snoop’s, Doc’s and Ice Cube’s lyrics coming out of Dre’s mouth! So what? Many rappers have written for Dre. Any rapper can be written for at any given time - that’s why the term is “ ghost writer”!
@@Jerrell_Johnson what do you mean what's my point?? you tried to downplay Jay z Ghost writing that song, but his song that he ghost wrote sold more than any other song and is popular than any other song, so that means he is more special than the other Ghost writers. that's my point
@@isaidwhatisaid5369Arguably " means it can be argued that " Still Dre " is the biggest west coast song ever. In the EXTREMELY long list of WEST COAST songs (not just rap) no one is agruing that " Still Dre " is the biggest West Coast SONG ever. Rap ?? Maybe, if that. So you made yourself look emotional
I hear you and agree but this statement by itself wasn't really slander. He's just telling the truth in terms of what people, dj's and radio stations were really playing.
Jay-z more skillful lyrically. Dmx and 50 are dope lyrically, top tier, but not as nuanced or subtlety clever. It’s like the difference between Sonny and Michael Corleone, whose more of a gangsta? Obvious choice for most people will be santino because he’s more aggressive, but Michael was cold and calculated, made him more deadly an opponent.
When I was on the west coast Djing for Dub Magazine Carshow a west coast DJ was playing that “Change the game” by Jay-Z!!! And cats was crip walking to it in the crowd. Ain’t no way way y’all gonna tell me y’all wasn’t playing Hov on the west!! Stop that cap
Facts hov was rocking with the crips hard in the late 90s and early 2000s he was played but your average cali dude didn't fuck with all of his music but they rocked with some tracks
I’m from the same soil Spice is from and respectfully Bro you’re 🧢ing for content. Niggas in the Oakland/ Bay Area including myself listen to Jay, not “Hard Knock Life” & “Give it to me” Jay but “Where I’m From”, “Imaginary Players”, “Can’t knock the hustle”, “Dead Presidents” Jay. On McArthur, Foothill & E-1-Fo you’ll hear a Jay song knock in an old school or a 5.0 every now & then Knock it off.
So you played Jay-aZ more than the west coast rappers that were out like Snoop, E40, Too short, mac Dre, J.T. tha Bigga figga or whoever was out? Especially after dissing the west coast?? That’s what sounds like cap. That’s all Spice 1 is saying. It’s the same thing Big Gipp was saying.
@@HeWhoR3mains A lot of niggas played Jay Z more then all them you mentioned. Too Short and E40 stayed in rotation. But Bay niggas these days don't even bang Ant Banks, Mac Mall, and The Click like they used to. Jay Z music comes with an entirely different mindset. Especially for niggas that was out there tryna get to it
fine with me, jays only good track is dead presidents and that's cause of ski's instrumental, you could have had a sick possum coughing on that shit and it would still sound good
Reasonable Doubt was a classic. Black Album was good, too. To me those were Jay's best albums. I didn't hear anybody bashing Jay. They were just saying there were others artists that were bigger
THUMBS DOWN for this one ART, the Jay Z slander & jealousy needs to stop, the guy got hits galore, longevity, great calabs, he’s one of raps ICONS, I think sum folks hate on him because he’s much bigger than music & he’s a billionaire with a beautiful family
“The art of dialogue” should be called “The art of Repeating Recycling” “The art of the same ole same ole”. It’s like watching reruns but on a different network. Ijs
Everybody claim nobody listened to Jay Z .but it's damn obvious many people did lol. I'm from the South and that Blueprint album was in heavy rotation.
@@kierrickedmond IM FROM NC TOO , JAY-Z BEEN LOVED FOR YEARS HE EVEN CHANGED THE WAY PPL DRESSED , MY BIG BROTHER SAID THEY WAS WEARING THROWBACKS IN THE CLUB THEN (BOOM) PPL WAS WEARING BUTTON UPS , HE SET MORE TRENDS TOO THATS JUST ONE EXAMPLE , JAY-Z HATERS SUCK LOL..

BEING CONSISTENT > BEING HOT..
That’s not true. If you saying jay is not being played a lot in cali now well that’s because of the new young generation making the biggest mainstream hip hop, but in the prime of jay and rocafella he was big in cali just like everywhere
The westcoast is one of the largest markets in the music business and Jay sold well over a hundred million records so of course people on the west listen to Jay Z.
He didn’t say people on the West don’t listen to Jay he said he don’t hear people riding in the cars or listening at BBQ’s to Jay on the West and he’s 100% correct. What the radio play and what the people play is two different things
@@amareeljamii8610 Thats also false there is no way Spice 1 speaks for everyone on one of the largest states in america with one of the biggest markets for music.
@@zacharyminor9593 what’s your point? I know he’s from Philly but he was a west artist like Pac was born in New York but rep LA. My point was Spice lying like Hov wasn’t hot on west coast. It weird a lot of these artists hating on Hov I understand if he not number 1 to you but they acting like he was right there with the best of the best Content Lyrics and Sales
.it don't matter if he don't get play out there..he's selling out arenas😂😂..niggas from the coast to coast respect Big Hov ..remember he said like tht😂 he didn't say they wasnt
I’m glad some Californians in the comments are keeping it real….Spice 1 been showing some real hate towards Jay Z, he throws shade on Jay Z in almost every video…..I guess maybe Spice had a crush on Beyoncé or something .
Y'all always wanna fit Jay-Z in every place by all means even if it ain't fitting. This is one man's opinion and what he hears in his Coast. Just do a poll to verify if what he's saying is legit or not.
@@trizzmatic413 😂😂😂 this is getting hilarious. I don't think have ever given a rapper I think is mediocre much thought or energy. Yall be having jay name on your tongues so hard ha. Yall talk about him more than us who really like him
How can this guy spice come on here saying that about jay , looking like franklin from Charlie brown with that supercut hair style? Did his barber walk out on him?
Jay-Z wouldn't be a fuckin billionaire if he didn't have a bigger following than all these people you're naming. I think the disconnect is that there's 8 million people in NYC alone. So you can easily go double platinum in your own city. But every time you play Still D.R.E. that's Jay-Z fam
Hov’s music gets played EVERYWHERE on this Planet!!! West coast Artist always looked up to Jay!! This dude has some type of animosity towards Jay, he hasn’t had 1 positive thing to say about Hov in any of his interviews 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ just don’t speak on a man if you don’t have shit nice to say.
False who looked up to Jay when E-40 was just as much a hustler master p too we fucked with the south heavy on the west ask Devin the dude or eight ball n mjg or Texas
@@stocktonmonedasav3159 nigga stop dickriding the south u goofy.. i lived in California for 25 years and them dudes love jayz music out there.. Most of the west coast top artist got him in their top 5 all time. Yall love cappin with that hatin shit
I mean down in Texas I still hear Blueprint, Black Album, 444, and random songs from random cars. People listen to Jay-Z everywhere. If they didn't he'd do exclusive East Coast tours. Instead dude is a worldwide icon performing around the world. Pac and DMX used to be hot. Jay-Z still is. 🤷♂️
Last time Jay z was on tour here in Dallas he sold out the American Airlines Center (were the Mavericks play) in less than an hour….. I don’t know what people want grime Hov, the shade/disrespect is getting CRAZY 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
I seen Jayz twice at the United Center! And I swear dude did 20 full songs without a break without having the crowd singing because he’s outta breathe because they smoking 🚬 cigarettes wtf are we really talking about!
Tupac is still hot world-wide, he plays nearly in every club, they even have his music on rotation in markets, coffee shops and cars passing through here in Europe. He got murals and graffiti in every country. I can't see or hear Jay as much as I do with Tupac but what truly is fascinating is how Pac's music so strongly lives on till this day. I mean, Jay-Z is still active and still lives so that should make sense his music being played but the love people have for Pac is beyond, it amazes me everytime.
Ok no disrespect to Spice 1 and Gipp but damn does the Author of this channel must hate Jay-Z lol. He's one of the best to ever do it period. I just jam Jayz songs as well as Nas.
Name another Westcoast track I'll wait... but 5th brought you plenty of big homie Game hits and DMX didn't have to write shit for anyone on the Westcoast just saying 🤷
@@Joe92510they aren't mutually exclusive. 50 and x can be bigger, doesn't mean hov wasn't bumped. That's where spice is tripping cause hov was played here l
@@thecunninlynguist I feel you. But listen to what spice was saying.. he didn’t say that jay wasn’t bumped. I just don’t think jay was played religiously like it is on the East.
This is a flat out lie. Jay Z is just as big if not bigger than 50 Cent and DMX on the WestCoast and he absolutely got play on the WestCoast. I’ve been to 3 sold out concerts of Jayz on the West and one was in Candlestick Park. Spice lying
Jay gets rotations on the west and has love on the west. So sad to see another guest here going at Jay, especially someone who is dressed like its laundry day.
@@darianbroomfield8361 we know exactly who he is and he hasn't dropped anything dope since Amerikkas Nightmare and that was in what, 96-97? Talking bout Jay gets no play in the West, sh!t seems like he don't get much play in the West either!
All this talk about jayz but none of these artist have better lyrics. Party music and BBQ music is different then lyrical music. Art of dialog need to ask some real lyrical artist
@@ocloud7163 hahaaa funny eh ,it was E40 actually an it was the last time biggy disrespected E40 in any kind of way,after 40 heard Biggy had said that he waited till he next played on the west an wen Biggy an his crew left a club in the Bay that they got about 50 feet an they were surrounded by about 50 Goons ready to take his life An the guy who went straight up to biggy phoned 40 an 40 asked why the fuck you dissing me saying wat he said " Biggy instantly started saying it wasn't him ,an if you here 40 tell the story on the breakfast club, him an 40 spoke on the phone biggy calling him "Duke" an if you were around them days that was phrase biggy would use wile they were on the phone the goons were shouting we can pop him his ass now!!! But 40 was a real G an made all the goons that surrounded biggy gey him safely back to his hotel room ,biggy ended up saying E40was one of his favouriterappers the next time he was aske lol.biggy was a pussy, An Spice is right Jay z doesn't get played in most country's never mind States than 50 or DMX .an DMX has a better catalogue than Jay to me .
@@didyouknowamazingfacts2790 out the country really only knows the huge records, jay never been a huge number kinda dude like tyga is more known out the country than nas
To be transparent I'm a Southern man. Lived and was educated in the south my whole life. Also a huge Jay-Z fan as I am a huge Dungeon Family fan who is about the same age as Jay-Z. What I hear from Big Gip, Spice 1, et al is conclusions being drawn from anecdotal observations. I get it. That's their experience, but the empirical data says something different. Jay has 14 number 1 true Hip Hop studio albums with 125 million units sold. So are we supposed to believe he only sold those records on the East Coast and in Europe? Nah, son! They're playing Jay Z hits everywhere. Maybe not at certain backyard BBQ's or family reunions, or in certain people's cars... but a whole lot of somebody on the West Coast and in the South is streaming and bumping Jay's music. I've been in ATL for more than 20 years. I did the club scene in "Old Atlanta" on every side of town from 559 to The Ritz, to 112, to Kya, Bigelow's, to Dudley's, to the Shark bar, to every hot spot in Midtown and Buckhead and I'll tell you when the DJ spun the Jay Z hits of the time (and they spun Jay every night) IT ROCKED THE CLUB every. single. time. "Men lie. Women lie. Numbers don't."
Couldn't had said it better myself.. so I won't bother trying ;) I'll just add that all these RU-vid channels like this one and others, such as Vlad TV, are purely subjective opinions, being spoken in absolutes, or in a matter of fact nature. The only reason I ever watch these vids is out of nostalgia for an artist I want to check up on and see what they're like now, and what they're doing musically, and unfortunately it's ends up being disappointing most times like this one. I love Spice1 and was hoping this vid would reveal more than how shallow and jelous old men in the business can be lol. Classic never meet your hero scenarios every other time I click on one of these videos 🤣 smfh.
@@JePe-on4ff did you even read my reply? That's your experience and that's cool, but I'm from the South too. Never lived in any other region of the country. I still go out all over the place in the major metro areas in DC, MD, NC, SC, GA and I can tell you the DJ plays a Jay-Z block EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. unless I'm at a House Music or Reggae party. The data, as I've referenced above, lines up with my experience. It's in the public domain so you can go look it up yourself. Now, I do go to places where 30 to 35 year-olds are the young-uns in the room. I'm old enough to have 30-plus-year-old kids so I try not to socialize anywhere they are. Maybe that's the difference.
@@simeonhibbert7462 Look at this idiot with his infantile vocabulary. It's "no" one not "know" one idiot, go back to school and educate yourself. All that tough talk hasn't got you anywhere in life.
I have to disagree.. We was in the streets bumping the Blueprint until the cd got scratched up.. Radio played songs from every Jay z album even up to the Black album in Southern California. When I was in northern Cali, they mostly played Bay Area and northern Cali music on the radio..We played Spice 1 in the streets but I only remember “welcome to the ghetto” being played on the radio in So-Cal..
I’m from the east coast and don’t remember anyone bumpin Spice back in the day. We heard of him but we thought he was wack. Even Biggie said Spice was trash.
JayZ was big everywhere and even worldwide! First rapper to headline Glastonbury in Europe that’s how Huge he was. DMX and 50cent might have been number 1 when they came out but don’t have the longevity like JayZ.. Jay stayed consistent for more than 3 decades… Also if JayZ wasn’t relevant PAC wouldn’t mention him too. Lastly JayZ wrote Still Dre and that’s one of westcoast biggest songs 😂…
Jay-Z wasn't that big in Europe. With what track? X and 50 were about 10x bigger in their prime. I don't remember Jay-Z buzzing like that. He is in the news as a mogul more than he was as a rapper. He had some moments but DMX and 50 have a whole catalogue of certified classics from a street, Hip-Hop and commercial standpoint combined. They are both icons who come close to 2pac in terms of "beeing big oversees"
Spice 1 is wrong because I am from the west coast and Jay-Z was played a lot on the west coast and when Jay-Z released Big Pimpin everybody I knew who liked rap music on the west coast was playing Big Pimpin in their car and in their house and outside in their front yard and I remember a lot of people on the west coast wanted to play Big Pimpin and a lot of people on the west coast wanted to play a lot of Jay-Z songs
I was JUST about to say this! I don't know what's all the chatter about Jay Z for? Why is everyone so pressed about whom was "bigger" or whom was more "gangster"? It's just makes these artist look bitter in the eyes of many and it's not fair to what they contributed and good for their own legacy.

Let me let me get this right! "Still Dre" to this very day is still one of Dr Dre's most biggest hits! Which is still in heavy rotation as we speak! This is Pure Fuckery! Jay Z did not get played on the West Coast Really!🤔😁🤔
@@badseedent4827 Jay Z remained anonymous for over 20 years about the song! It wasn't until Snoop Dogg revealed to the world that Jay-Z wrote the entire song. So in a nutshell, knowingly or not west coast has been vibing to his music for over 20 years!
