opinion and excuses are one thing,proof of the pudding is in the eating.

your comment is slightly off topic.I did not mention the issue of money.As to why you brought it up,heaven knows?I said Jay-z has a stellar career as compared to Nas.

To clarify my point.For example you can be the most skillful player in the NBA,as long as you don’t win the rings,your excellence has no real proof.

Let’s look at the highest accolades of critical acclaim in music.Correct me if i’m wrong, Jay-z has won more compared to Nas.The notion that to ‘Ether’ somebody is the epitome of a diss record is a misconception when the aftermath factored.

The embodiment of a diss record is,’The Bridge is over’ by KRS-One.The record achieved what is meant to be achieved by a diss record.The Superior MC in this case KRS,went on to solidify his status in the game,while the inferior MC Shan career took a nosedive.It’s the opposite between Nas and Jay-z,in fact Ether made Jay stronger as things stand.

The relevance of Nas’s baby-mother in the feud is obvious,She was part and parcel of the diss record.And that was the most truthful hard-hitting part of the ‘Takeover’.Jay apologizing for that part is credit to himself;the decency to acknowledged he went in too far.

only the strong survive. The majority of all these rappers are weak. They tend to lean on someone’s shoulders or attack the one who is running sh*t.

Yupp. But that 50 neyo joint is starting to heat up. The thing is that 50 acts like a gangsta but is putting out commercial music. So It throws people off… The only way he can get the media attention he needs would be if Jay-Z comes knocking which I doubt. Hov Ain’t sharing the bright lights with nobody. Especially if you continuously are throwing shots…

The problem is he doesn’t have a hit on the pop stations. Yeah Hot 97 and other hip-hop stations are showing him love but that’s it.

Its sucks becuz 50 is putting out alot and the marketing dolla is being stretched. what happens if he can’t sell more than 500,000 first week. as for his standards he failed. But for us that’s good numbers. as for his status in interscope it will dimish. Cause so far Lil Wayne is the number 1 rap record pusher.

This is only right? June 3, 2008, I released the album entitled, The Empire State of Mind, recorded/mixed/mastered at The Cutting Room. Jay’s boy Ty Ty was there in another room for a lot of the process, and there were many many copies of the album lying around once it was pressed up. This album was the story of my life, and suddenly the biggest artist in the game happens to release a song which is the exact name of my album. It is unfortunate that I have atleast tried to bring this to the attention of multiple news outlets and it continues to fall on deaf ears. http://www.sylermusic.com
Check it out, not only is this the 100% honest truth, but the music is worth the listen. I guess people don’t want rocks to be thrown at the throne?

WOW really? a stan? white people have been rocking it for a very long time…but in black culture baseball is on a decline, most black people under the age of 30 don’t really care about the sport. I never said he put the whole world on to the damn hat, but u cant front on the increase of the Yankee fitted hat in hip hop culture. Y do u think that is? I dont want to turn this into a black or white thing but u think people go out and get that hat cause Jeter or Pettite have it on??…..And for the record I dont own the hat cause my dislike for the Yankees wont allow me wear that hat for fashion reasons!
