Now That I Agree With That!!!
The ONLY Good Thing About This Song Is Alicia Keys! And The Video Is A Replica Of The Song And Video Kanye Did With Chris Martin “Homecoming”. The Video Is Gonna Look Exactly The Same! HOW LAME!
All That Money This Camel Can’t Get Any Swagg??? Geezeeeeeee

So I was the only one who was underwhelmed? I thought their VMAs performance was better. The control room did them no favors with those shots of the uninterested people. I think Alicia Keys did a great job with what she could though. You could tell she was into it and it’s hard singing in a stadium.

WHy these silly ass dude keep saying Jay-z is old ? How old is DMX / jeezy/ NAS/ and all the other relevant rappers even LL .. RAPPING or HIp hop is about skills not age.. what happen to 50c after all the hype and album sales Shit we even say BIGGIE is #1 and he only had 2 albums. What is 50 died after MAssacre would we say he is great cause those albums was classic to him especially “GEt rich”. Lil Wayne been in the game like 20 yrs and he is now being considered something so he is great come onnnn. If he started head bagging then he’d have my respect ..let him make 3-4 more albums then her can talk.
shit KAnye better than Wayne. Wayne is a metaphor rapper he dont speak about much he rhymes . Kiss can spit /fab can spit they just not going hard to be on everyone shit that why the buzz not there. NOW GUCCI MAINE is starting to do what wayne did is he the greatest lmao silly rabbits
Jim jone is 35 and so is alot of other rappers lol but people dont say that they hate on jay . 11 #1 albums none of those dud that say they the greatest has 5 lol .
Im a fan of hip hop so dont coe w/ the jay ryder comments. jealous MOFO’s sitting on a pc just hating while a man is caking . i dont hate on no rappers none some need to stay in their lane

he is 32 but looks older than jay … its not about age . Un like sports Mc-ing is about lyrical output because non of those establish rappers are on the street chilling like they used to trust that. They might pass by with their Goons or even w/ body guards but never alone. People are naturally haters. even if you dont have shine on they want to do you harm cause they know you in a better situation then them or to just say ” i did this artist something” just for props. look at examples of niggaz that beat up artist or whatever that wont get them areested ..the next day they talking to the media or coming out w/ a album for fame (nigga that knock out suge.. and even 50 w/ the fight with Jah rule)…
You cant put your like in danger just cause you real. thats stupid ignorance to think you cant get harm cause you real.
Jay raps about his life according to what changes he gone through and still make better music than all the artist. They artis know they not doing those those things they rap about NONE they even lie about there money and lease cars. Rick ross has 10m and wearing fake Loui Voutons on in a mag smh its are lies everyone fabricate their lives ..who is more real than Jay (as an artist) Im jsut a fan of hip hop not a particular artist ( shit i need a editorial job MIss info holla at me lol )

You made some valid points…
However, Jay-z at jim jones age made the same type of music. Beyonce is pushin 30 and singing about gangsters on her video phone and we ALL know that isnt her life.
Soooo??? Why isnt it okay for Jim Jones, but his wife gets a pass to make music that appeals to 5 year olds?
Oh, cause she made up a scape goat
’sasha fierce” as a gimmick and marketing tool to say and do whatever she wants for attention and record sales?
Hmmmm

Also…The lil wayne comparison is totally unfair and has no basis!
it took wayne much longer, but wayne came in the rap business when he was 13!! jay-z was 26 when he came in. lil wayne blew up at 25! thats sounds just about right to me.one could say how 50cent accomplished in 6 yrs what it took jayz in 13…right? and jayz came back cause he seen 50cent doing too much.
Yes…People call Jay-z old! Because he is an OLD RAPPER! (40YRS OLD) Running around trying to set the standard for what these new rappers should be doing and it isnt fair! isnt it funny how jayz can
“knock the hustle” of autotune?
When we all know if this was 96 and jayz was trying to get his foot in the door he would have had that synthesizer in his mouth so quick you would have though it was biggies d*ck! this is the same man who made it a popular trend for rappers to dumb down their singles for dollas! now they all doing it trying to become the next jayz, because he made everyone envy his success bragging about it endlessly in his music.
This is the same man who wanted to talk that gritty “im from marcy son”…then the next minute he had on a shinney suit doing the diddy and mase!
People like ghostface and wutang rap forever and they dont get that treatment…why? cause they dont run around telling then new people how they should look and act! thats like your uncle trying to tell u whats cool and whats not cool. a 40 year old doesnt set trends, or stop them. they stay in they lane and do they own thing.
Jayz refuses to do that, so he gets the treatment he gets.

1. This song denounced Jesus and the church. What’s the Jesus beef? Why not another religion?
2. He disses Tims and baggy jeans on the BP3 (“Off That”), and performs in them? Yeah you Stans will say “Drake did the hook/chorus not Jay” It was on his album therefore Jay controls the content that goes on it.
3. This song would not be hot at all if not for Alicia Keys (juicy lovely @$$ LAWD-a mercy!!!).
4. Can we get the Black Album Jay-Z back? His evolution into this new Kanye/billionaire/Jay-Z hybrid is so over rated. HIs current quality of music is mediocre. I waited all that time for BP3 for a disappointment.
5. SMH @ everyone that had to keep listening so that a “classic could grow on them”. That’s an oxymoron.

50 BISD is going to be crazy….bp3 i bought it and hate it. Jay is getting a lot of spins cause he spent 3 million on promo. his stuff isn’t what it should be. his album is a compalation of artist so its not a jayz album. jay needs to step his game up.

Hmmm….sometimes I wonder about that too. Jay-Z and Beyonce are the only 2 artists where every song off their album gets spins. Particularly Jay-Z when the Blueprint 3 came out. If he really spent 3 million on promo, I can understand why. Can he even make back his investment?

Its public info that he bought his album for 5 Million and spent 3 million on promo. so he is in fo $8 million. say the album is $10.00 he would have to sell 8 million albums to break even. but the other side to that is live nation will get most of that money back on touring together with albums sale’s. radio stations is all about pay for play. look at wayne,jay-z,dj webster,jim jones 80% of those artist put out junk. perfect example is fab he gets crazy spins put no album sale’s that crazy isn’t it. pay for play thats why artist need a atm machine to have a good project.

its always one or two good songs on a album But a GREAT album may only have one or 2 bad songs … a album determing your body of work. although I think Wayne is over rated he had a whole good album and 50 had a whole good ablum with get rich and massacre. this one and his last 2(plus mixtapes is a no go) Honestly is last mix tape is better than the album.. 187 had more buzz… and
wasnt 50 dissing NAS for using a old song from a previous album as his single?????? lmao
What is Have a baby by me? lmao How you gonna use a line for a great song thats a rookie move
as Rick ross used “everyday im hustling” in a verse then made it a song or Mike jones with “back then they didnt know me”
and its your first single? thats corny
Goes to show you the quality of work he has. Thats wht they push his album back the 1st time ….didnt he say he runs interscope guess not lol

I dont care where he got the verse from or who he dissed..if I like a song or cd or whatever…i like it..hell diddy keeps throwing stuff together from the past too…it dont matter…if people like it, they like it..I dont care he he “runs” interscope or not, I def dont care bout ross….I like baby by me, both versions and I feelin the cd…period. whether it sells or not depends on a lot of people..thats was my point..not on one person likin it or not..cuz i do like dont mean it Will sell.

All people who hate on Jay are dumb ass niggaz. Let keep it real truly only a hand full of mc’s, forget album sales just lyrically and flow wise can accomplish what Jay has in his career. Just check 7 minute freestyle rhyme for rhyme with Big L. Its classic a flow that cannot be duplicated. And he is still ill just in a different way. Brooklyns Finest head to head with the Notorious B.I.G. What rap do ya’ll niggaz listen to…wait I know Gucci! Lets go Yankees BX what up.

None of these rappers are in the street and all are about 30 plus with money. LL is old but is anyone say anything cause he not a treat as being the greatest. How else can you be the greates ? if there isnt one so people knock jay.
50 was good but not that great . he made 1 maybe 2 classic GEt rich and MAssacre now he is hanging for his life. you thing wayne can do better and he not really a song maker ..he a metaphor rapper. he say he dont write but they have this Vid on Youtube where he was in the studio and he started to “free style” she was like a kid freestyle ” you can look for it on worldstar when he mention Micheal jackson (that was after Mike died)Drake is better than wayne
Kanye, DMX,jeezy,,TI, Luda,Snoop, Jadakiss,Ghost, eminen(except for his last one),Even ja rule before the G-unit thing are all consistant (album wise that has 3 album plus )
Jay’s albums grow with hin in time because he try not to talk about what everyone talking about plus he spits about whats going on what went or what he is going through in his life without over doing it ..everyone are like “kill murder shoot,100 kilos” thats the differences
Auto tune is killing the music if you cant see that …Its for radio play not really concert material..HAve you ever been to a T-pain preformance live (awwwwwwful)he hides it by dancing all over the place. Everyone was talking about Jarule signing but doing it with Auto-tune SMH. Its killing the are cause people that cant sing is signing cause it sounds more vocal so even if they can sing there make stupid shit like give me 20dollars which is hot in the club but is garbage music , you know when your first heard it you was like whaaa

why does this guy say “jesus cant save you life starts when the church ends”??
why cant he mention another religion..then when people call him a devil worshipper and stuff like that people want to back him and say its all lies..he says it himself. You believe what you hear.
Jay-z may be getting money for his music but dissing christianity is not helping his career at all.

like the Bible yall pay attention on one verse and run with it not the who scripture thats why we have so much doctrines with so much churches with different view of the same beliefs
Here is what was said
“The city of sin is a pity on a whim,
Good girls gone bad, the cities filled with them,
Mommy took a bus trip and now she got her bust out,
Everybody ride her, just like a bus route,
Hail Mary to the city your a Virgin,
And Jesus can’t save you life starts when the church ends,
Came here for school, graduated to the high life,
Ball players, rap stars, addicted to the limelight,
MDMA got you feeling like a champion,
The city never sleeps better slip you an Ambien”
he is talking about hookers and girls sinning that jesus cant save you
