Im not a BITER im a WRITER for MYSELF and OTHERS, if I say BIG's name, I only BIGGING UP MY BROTHER, BIGGING UP MY BOROUGH, Im big enough to do it, Im that thorough, PLUS I KNOW MY OWN STYLE IS FOOLISH....(He's letting you haters know he is not biting-just showing respect for one of the greatest mc's ever who happens to be from where he's from and why should he bite when he has one of the illest flows ever)
@10staxaday2 To take this a step further the next lines :"The rings and things you sing about bring em out/ its hard to yell when the barrel in your mouth." Is a direct Quote from big's Keep your hands high.
I have been appreciating this dude's artistry for years now. I think the one thing that sets him apart from most of the other true MC's is that he controls the narrative while he is on the mic. Most of the young dudes out here are just throwing out a bunch of aimless metaphors and hooks. Jay would spit a story, speak to his critics, big up himself and his fam, in less than 12 bars! It takes SICK genius to deal with words like that. Eminem and Nas are the only two dudes in my mind on that level..
if some one say's drake is good he cant make a song you can really bump to unless it's featuring some one jay z made soo MANYYY tracks you can bump too that are SOLO!!!!
To sample gladiator was in genius. This was one of the first songs where i really dissected the beat, In large part because i got to see alot of the process of the creation of this track through the movie "Fade To Black". Great instrumental, and obviously Jay-Z is the best.
hands down jay z is of course one of best rappers..no disrespect but im tired of hearing weezy and drake and nicki on every fuckin song that is out there rite now...god dam you dont gotta be on everyones fuckin song!!..wayne is iiighhh,drake is good, j cole is good.cant compare lil wayne to jay z tho thats the best part :)
This song is a classic. Jay-z is the best rapper in history. if u dont believe me start listening @ 4:00-the end. no disrespect to the legends but its the truth. next in line is Wale, Drake, and Cole. FUCK EVERYBODY ELSE!
@xsKiLLzoNE You can argue Jay is the greatest rapper of all time. But those other 3 have absolutely no business in the discussion. What a disgraceful statement on your part.
Now you know ass is Willie When they got you in a mag For like half a Billi And your ass ain't Lilly White That mean that shit you write must be illy Either that or your flow is silly It's both I don't mean to boast But damn if i don't brag Them crackers gonna act like i ain't on they ads
@ChiefMenta Jordan aint even that good dont compare the worlds best rapper to some over ratted b'ball player 6 rings dont mean shit in the game youngsta.
Please don't listen to Eminem fans...listen to Eminem instead...he himself said on "Till I Collapse" Jay-Z is better than him...it is maybe his modesty, but he did say that and I'm pretty sure...
he copies biggie... "the rings and things u sing about bring em out, its hard to yell when the barrells in your mouth."- Rap Phenomenom BIGGIE SAID IT
@gigicusco@56 sec.. he says i say a BIG verse im only bigging up my brother, BIGgin up my Borough, im big enough to do it...im that thorough plus i know my own flow is foolish... then says the BIG verse u mentioned
HOVA has 4 classics albums-RD,The Blueprint,The Black Album,American Gangster
Eminem has 3 classic albums:The SSLP,The MMLP,The Eminem Show.
they both legend and are on my list of the greatest rappers of all time and favorite rappers. but yall can compare them if yall want but look at that.
Hands down the best rapper alive. N*gga ask about me! Eminem? Nah...Did you peep his performance in the cypher at the BET awards this year? WACK! His "boys" were better than he was. This is a Jay classic. Just snap your fingers and admit it! Let's not even bring Eminem into this please!
i swearr to allahhh dat jay z is beyond rap hes on another level just listen to hes holy flowwwwww WHAT MORE CAN I SAY FUK ALL YAAAAAAAAA BEST RAPPER EVER ILL KILLL U IF U PROV ME WRONG IM SERIOUS

@iiAmKing Listen up bro i tought music was about self expression not aout bitchs are opression , jay Z sold out a long time ago dont know what sellin out then search it up ) . Jay Z dosent even wright his own songs anymore his record labels those . He is one of the many reasonswhy they are so many coke dealings and killing , people chasing metearlistic dreams on our block,His music now days are vey negative and his just a puppet
A street nigga knows the only way to keeps gone peeps alive is to talk about them. He is keeping everyone remembering his boy. That is respect. It works, you still talking about Biggie too.

@ksuds08 You do know where that line came from right? That's Biggie's line. It's so ironic that Jay-Z talks about not biting Biggie, then he goes and bites Biggie. WTF.
@DarioColon jay and big were really good friends, that's why he said he's only biggin' up my brother. he does it to show respect and remember his boy, he obviously doesn't need to sample people's lyrics he's like how many albums deep? 15 all together including the collaborations, more consistent and consistently relevant than any other rapper in history.
@DarioColon thats what makes him so great he knows exactly what he did he explained y he used biggie lines then he gave an immediate example its like hes teaching clowns who thinks hes a biter a lesson get it....deadass this niggas the greatest
@TeamSBCmovement It's not really bad on this song, but he copied the beginning of Big's verse from The Word Is Filled on the song I Just Wanna Love You. Not just one line, but like 6. I'm not even denying that Jay's a monster though. He's my third favorite rapper of all time, the first two are Big and Nas.

@DarioColon Are You An Idiot Bro....HE Just Stated "I Say A BIG Verse I'm Only BIGGING UP MY BROTHER Bigging Up My Borough I'm Big enough To Do It...I'm That Thorough.. Plus I Know My Own Flow Is Foolish" Nigga He's NOT A Biter At Explained When He Says A Big Line He's Bigging Up His Brother...Plus He Know His Own FLOW IS FOOLISh..nigga are you fucking Dumb..that was the most Remedial shit i have ever read.
@iiAmKing No, you're the fucking idiot. Everyone knows that if you copy the whole first part of a fucking verse, you're a biter. If you or I did that shit we wouldn't get away with it, but since he's just "bigging up" Notorious, it's okay? Get the fuck out here with that shit. You know damn well the dude bites. He even bit Eminem on the song Success, and he didn't mention him anywhere else at all in that song. I know what the guy said, I'm not deaf. He still bit Biggie. Hop off Jay's dick buddy.
JAY-Z vs TOPNOTCH!!!who made a better song off this beat?listen now on YOUTUBE!!!to hear JAY-Z SONG type in(jay-z never change)to hear TOPNOTCH SONG type in(topnotch do you)and press search
i know reasonable doubt is considered his best album....but damn....the black album my favorite shit....when i havent listened to it in a few months and go front to back on the cd...shit is magic everytime

"I'm not a biter I'm a writer for myself and others, I say a BIG verse I'm only biggin up my brother, biggin up my borough, I'm big enough to do it, I'm that thorough, plus I know my own flow is foolish...so them rings and things you sing about, bring em out, it's hard to yell when the bar-rell's in your mouth." --this line is brilliant, he says "so them rings and things you sing about bring em out..." but it really sounds to me like "F*ck you haters"

@ksuds08 You do know where that line came from right? That's Biggie's line. It's so ironic that Jay-Z talks about not biting Biggie, then he goes and bites Biggie. WTF.

@DarioColon jay and big were really good friends, that's why he said he's only biggin' up my brother. he does it to show respect and remember his boy, he obviously doesn't need to sample people's lyrics he's like how many albums deep? 15 all together including the collaborations, more consistent and consistently relevant than any other rapper in history.

@tylerxxrhodes You can't defend yourself by saying you're not biting someone's lyrics, and then go and say something they already said.
Personally I don't think Jay was biting, but it's just so ironic.

@TeamSBCmovement It's not really bad on this song, but he copied the beginning of Big's verse from The Word Is Filled on the song I Just Wanna Love You. Not just one line, but like 6. I'm not even denying that Jay's a monster though. He's my third favorite rapper of all time, the first two are Big and Nas.

@iiAmKing No, you're the fucking idiot. Everyone knows that if you copy the whole first part of a fucking verse, you're a biter. If you or I did that shit we wouldn't get away with it, but since he's just "bigging up" Notorious, it's okay? Get the fuck out here with that shit. You know damn well the dude bites. He even bit Eminem on the song Success, and he didn't mention him anywhere else at all in that song. I know what the guy said, I'm not deaf. He still bit Biggie. Hop off Jay's dick buddy.
