[Dusty Fingers]

Suggest everybody listen to Style Wars some more and respect the fact that disco is dead...

ok, who took over this guy's account and decided to post like he's Wicked22?

[Kace]

jay hasn't pimped the game until hes married to that chick with no prenup. until then, hes still normal jay elec hannukah, who we still want to hear raps from. i just hope this isn't all we hear until like, 2015

what does badu think

Word. Even if they marry her family might disown her.

[Gyangsta 4 Life]

Diddy woulda had the album out already. There was serious potential for greatness in that union.

[seagrams hotsauce]

Not really. Jay would have dragged his feet til Diddy forced him to put something subpar out, and after it flopped he'd hold his contract hostage for the billionth time.

[Escobar305]

sorry mister drizzy

what, so Jay Electronica deserves to get the "5 Star" fucking Excuse My French Montana treatment?

son, ask King Los: THE BAD BOY CURSE IS STILL EXTREMELY FUCKING REAL.

Diddy only cares about himself and ingratiated himself onto the legacy of Biggie more than he ever should have. All Diddy does is "make it hot", which is a euphemism for exploiting real creators, beatmakers and songwriters and tweaking it just enough to claim a piece of it after something good is made. Sean Combs does NOT create art, he does business. He would not let Jay Electronica put out a song that says "WE CAME UP FROM SLAVERY" in the first 2 bars.

this song is fucking awesome and sets the bar for all these stupid new school rappers to stop rapping like EEEEDIOTS. Motherfuckers dumbed this shit down way too far for anyone awake to respect. SOOOO GLAD Jay-Z picked this beat to murder to excellence. All these Migos-level motherfuckers need to read a god damn book and step their rap game up.

Jay Electronica is actually fucking awesome. His message is the future of hip hop, and I've been patiently waiting for the intelligence era to begin agin

So Jay-Z says 'sorry, Mr. Drizzy'? cool, cause I keep hearing 'Mrs. Drizzy' and I'm like "noo waiii, this can't be life"

I swear this is Jay-Z's best fucking verse in about five years. It's better than EVERYTHING he spit on 'Watch the Throne' and 'Magna Carter Holy Grail'. Jay-Z hasn't made a reference to Yakub... EVER. "Chase him back in his cave"! WOW. Jay-Z getting his 5% Wizdom on. It's a good thing for the Macklemores to hear

and cot dayum. at this rate of new material actually coming out... Jay Electronica just ~might~ drop an album this summer. If they lose this momentum they are building... HIP HOP DESERVES TO FUCKING SACRIFICE THEM ON THE ALTAR OF 'DETOX'

[Escobar305]

lol ghost of chris wallace came out a while back dummy...

[Philaflava]

Sup with all these Migo styles?

[ardamus]

you saw it coming. this is why that album didn't drop. he had to compromise somehow.
but the lyrics are pretty much the same kinda shit he's been on anyway.

[stype_ones]

They both killed that shit, but God do I hate that beat.

[ackbar]

they took the fun out of drake & soulja boy's song

[drizzle]

def better than the one from last week but i think with all the delays and shitty indie rock songs the mystique took irreparable damage. i want to believe in the dude, but it would be easier to swallow the koolaide again if the songs were exhibit a/c level and they're not

[iCONtheMicKing]

What's up with Jay Electronica appearing on joints and getting forgotten lately cuz someone called a rapper out by name?

Sounds like President Carter recorded in a bathroom. Verse is far more spirited than the entirety of MCHG. Enjoyed.

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

nah drizzy merked him already. this response is dope but it doesn't matter no one will hear it.

but everything he says is true. and he's got the energy to get jay elec into the booth & tryna get on his level.

calling drake yakub

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

listened again jay got him better. doesn't usually get angry like this.

need to hear over the original beat

[paul_smith]

Funny how the last time Jay-Z sounded this good was on Shiny Suit Theory

[Gyangsta 4 Life]

"I'm on my Lupita Nyongo"?

Downright embarrassing.

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

^you're just jealous of his melatonin bro

[Versive]

caught this on the radio on my drive home today. sick verses. more of this, with beats deserving of such, please.

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

elevation. revelation. meditation. masturbation.

[Mindbender Futurama]

"sorry Mrs. Drizzy for so much art talk/ silly me rappin bout shit that I really bought"

- Jay-Z's reply to the comment in Rolling Stone where Drake 'allegedly' said "Jay-Z can't spit 4 bars without making an art reference!" Drake said he didn't make that comment, but Rolling Stone said otherwise.

I ain't mad tho because this is the BEST JAY-Z VERSE IN YEARS, even if Rolling Stone tryna be on that divide and conquer bullshit with black gods in rap

and if Drake replies???

SHIT GON' GET GOOD

rap is out of control (and fun)

[Willie B]

shit sucked

[Kid That's Lifeless]

shit sucked

[AXEWOUNDFISTER]

shit was weak.

i bet drake still got all teary eyed when he herd it tho.

[Mindbender Futurama]

the only people who have said it sucked are people who seem to like their rap REAL IGNUNT

how in god'z wrath does THAT suck? Jay-Z actually put EFFORT into that verse! no lazy lines at all. NOT ONE!

tight flow like he was just off a Reasonable Doubt coke deal, and infinity-deep wisdom like he is rapping to 50 dudes in Brooklyn, not 50 million around the world

you motherfuckers are crazy to dis this

I'm a Drake Stan and even I LOVE THIS verse

I'll never say Jay-Z lost it for the rest of my life, for real.
If a man can spit this sharp at 45, I'll believe he can ALWAYS come with john blaze

i've already memorized Jay-Z's verse on this song and I can spit it myself. I ain't memorize SHIT on his last 2 albums

[Kid That's Lifeless]

I'm not really big on congratulating rappers for trying in their verses. Good for him, it still sucked. Just because he mentioned some bullshit about 12 Years A Slave doesn't mean he's a revolutionary, btw

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

i'm just surprised drake's lil darts got him so worked up. the 'i dont fuck with your new shit so dont ask my take on it' line on versace was on point but that was a while ago. i guess it's drake's "we made it" verse that he's responding to directly.

jay does not usually get mad. on takeover he sounds triumphant. on bp2 he's wounded but proud. even on dig a hole he's cold but calculated. here he's going off script, pulling the race card, even slipping in a little antisemitism. we're seeing a new side of the jigga man.

[seagrams hotsauce]

^He's responding to the quotes in a Rolling Stone article that Drake claimed were off the record. Drake basically say Jay can't go four bars without dropping some dumb art reference, which is true. It's hilarious and pathetic that Jay felt the need to respond to something so offhand, especially from Drake, who's as unthreatening a rapper there ever has been. Dude has a line saying he'll probably cry when Jay dies, for Christ sake.

[EMCEE DARTH MALEK]

yes i know the rolling stone article. like i said above drake's darts are not limited to that. on drake & soulja boy's "we made it" drake throws a couple subliminals that jay directly responds to in this song. and listen to drake's verse on versace, one of the biggest songs of last year. he's clearly going at jay.
