In fact you can't fit this hustle inside of a wrapper
“wrapper” in this context can also be a gift…he said u cant fit this hustle inside of a “wrapper”…his hustle is literally to big to fit in one wrapper/rapper (-rap genius)
I can believe yall are shittin' on Kingdom Come and to those that aren't and are listing the hot tracks on the album, how can you forget about 'Trouble'! One of the hottest beats on the album hands down and of course Jay destroys it. best tracks: The Prelude, Oh my God, Lost ones, Beach Chair, Trouble, Minority Report. Honorable mentions: Dig a hole, Kingdom Come
love how nas fans are all over every jay song.....just shows how deeply they feel they need to keep the fight alive for nas being better than jay....just wont work tho...
11 number 1 albums....and yeah that does matter COCKSUCKER BEAT IT!
Whenever I hear a beat, I always play this game of what instrument is used or whatever apparatus is used to make the track, so if anybody could clear up the fact of whether in the mix of the beat that there is a cello or a bass guitar playing, i'd appreciate it, PEACE !!!
Nahh i used to dislike nas cause of the beef but then i realized the beef was ages ago and i got into his music, both of them are really amazing rappers.
Honestly Nas still raps with Dignity everytime Nas is on a beat he raps for a message. Jay-z Back in the day was unstoppable. Nas back in the day was unstoppable. Wayne WAS unstoppable, but he raps like doesn't have any sense anymore. These rapper have expiration dates; Once they their problems go away they don't have no real reason to rap. Even Drake with all of his problems isn't the same anymore. It's so sad music is really dying. To be honest J.Cole might be the next HOV, Wayne, Nas,or Drake

PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ CHECK ME OUT. IM A 18 YEAR OLD RAPPER FROM TAMPA AND I CAN SPITT!!!! IF YOU LOVE HIP HOP AND APPRECIATE REAL LYRICISM YOU'LL LIKE MY MUSIC - RELL STACKS
Nas and Jay squashed the beef a while ago, I don't know why his fans can't, seeing how they both make incredibly enjoyable music. And as for the people who use the Nas works for Jay therefore Jay > Nas logic- you guys are acting like Jay-Z was laughing maniacally Mr. Burns style as Nas signed a contract against his will. Nas signed with Jay because he thought he was going to have more creative and financial control there, and Jay signed him because he knows good music.
@zoolufoolu no u fool u..i agree with the first few statements but then u went and said jay is > than nas just because he works for him..there is no logic in that..jay just had more of a business mind should just leave it as they are both great artists and unrivaled in their glory.
I dont understand why people don't like this album... shit is fire... the prelude, kingdom come, show me what you got, lost ones, 30 something, minority report, trouble etc,
good times ok year.....b 4 a couple of yall let greed n envy from fma try to eat me in broad day but too each's on n oh its on ........no love lost yadayada jerks
"@1:03 "Back when crack was/What these pills are/I was a real star/Complete with real cars/No video ones/You can come set up a camera/Let the video run"
I don't know if it is you who keeps messing up the words to the songs ( I've not been checking). But almost every time I read a song on YT, the lyrics aren't correct. Tighten up dude.
Ex. "I used to think rappin at 38 was eww" ....like no, it shouldn't be done.
Nas is a great rapper but I dnt think he's as real as Jay. Jay's never claimed to be a prophet or a saint he just raps about his experiences. I do think Nas is real just not as real as Jay. Same goes for BIG- great rapper but he rapped bout alot of stuff he never did. Jay for me is the realest in that department
being intricate will get you wood or would? critic? Both make sense, he said I would write it if ya'll COULD get it....will get you WOULD? like he'll be questioned....OR being intricate will get you wood, not gold, platinum etc.....took me about a week just to put together the bought a six quarter seven line......and I'm still not sure it's about cars.
Gotta get the Lyrics CORRECT ppl. If the incorrect ppl who dont really know what it is will definitely be lost...it just throws everything off!...Its "YOUR LYRICS DIDNT", not "YOUR LYRICS DID" otherwise it throws the whole verse outta context....
yea jay-z's great and all, but fuck b-money. that is a QUASIMOTO(madlib) beat. end of story. period. apostraphe. comma. colon. semicolon. end of sentence. period.
I'm going to move to India... I love Indian music! I'm making $50 a day with the method they show at ez-casino(dot)com, do you think it will be enough to live at Delhi?
Also wanted to shed some light on one of his rhymes..
he says "BEfore the answer was a 3 I was down in Georgetown with a hoya chick, lawyer chick." and what hes saying is.
before allen iverson played on the 76'rs(his number was 3 and he was called the answer) he was in georgetown with a hoya chick(a girl who played on the georgetown athletic squad *aka Georgetown Hoya's*) who was also a lawyer chick... (studied law) not the deepest, but im sure most ppl didnt get that... and just said wtf?
@spliffgame Ok and that has what to do exactly with who is the better emcee? Biggie worked for Puff Daddy too. Jay-z the executive ain't got shit to do with Jay-z the emcee. He's ill don't get me wrong, I just hate when people say that "Nas works for Jay-Z" nonsense.
@spliffgame So Jay - Z is a better businessman than Nas nobody is denying that. Doesn't change the fact that Nas is the better MC. Jay is dope too tho.
@tyetye44 ok, you're right....he got clearance from the original sample. But Jay is all about originality right!?! All im sayin is he's a known biter. And b-money.....im jus sayin there's no creativity in the game anymore!!
@tyetye44 okay. i never said jay-z anything. it's this b-money guy. it's about respect and having some dignity. obviously he has none. you can't sue, because then every producer in history would be sued because everyone samples. do you realize that all people would be doing is signing papers all day to the rights to their songs? you don't know the music industry. i'm not tryin to be rude and i aplogize if i come off as such, but that's NOT how it works. and........continued.....
@tylerstone1980 ...pt.2....i would like you to give me examples of underground producers who steal other people's work. because unless you can add some substance to your claim, it is just opinion and not fact. because i can't think of any. so i would like any insight you can give to help me further understand your point
i lost respect for jay z and this b-money cat when i first heard this....dude straight stole this beat from MADLIB from Lord Quas's "the unseen".....smh
@tylerstone1980 I love die heart music freaks.You wanna know why,because you guys know your music.Like I was saying before,alot of people hear the music.But alot of people are not listening.People like you and some more kats R incredible.I give you guys dap...Maybe if people would of been die heart music freaks like you when Jay-Z was recording this songs and many others,maybe it wouldn't have made it to the surface.Because people would know that is not the right way how 2 do business.
It's "your lyrics DIDNT your gangster look did it".....not "your lyrics DID and your gangster look did it"....small correction...but its a big difference with the lyrics
@tylerstone1980 Thankx for the update.It is good to know people know their music.You not just hearing or bobbing your head.You actually sitting down disecting the words,the beats like you are disecting a frog in biology...I wish we can do school like how we know music.The world would be a brighter place.
@GMANUNDERSTAND couldn't agree more, bro. it really urks me when someone who has the marketability of jay-z can pretty much steal anything and no one cares. if jay-z respected the game or his fans he would have been a man and went to Madlib. he could have asked him to clean it up if he wanted but no. jay-z has one of the stupidest fanbases in hip hop besides weezy and drake. keep swallowing that blue-pill y'all. livin' in that dream world. the real heads know what's up. this is straight JACKIN'!
sorry to all you wannabe hip hop fans talking about how nice this beat is. b-money is a fucking hack! this beat was completely stolen from Madlib. on his Quasimoto album 'The Unseen'. the song is called Axe Puzzles. you can't just add 1 damn sound and call it 'YOUR BEAT'. i like jay, but let's call this beat what it is, stolen goods!
@tylerstone1980 - quite informative and not totally irrelevant but who's version is better lol... madlibs or b-money's? think we both know the answer to that. furthermore, jay-z's vocal over the beat is absoutely absurd, its bonkers, like.. great, its greatness. hence why people probably pay this version as a whole more attention, cos its just miles better. madlib's sick altogether though don't get me wrong
@MALICE0900 you're missing the entire point. so your reply is quite irrelevant in my opinion. b-money took Madlibs loop, put it through fucking pro tools to clean it up. first of all, that should NEVER happen. pro tools ruined hip hop. then added a flute that he no doubt found somewhere else. b-money is about as legit as monopoly money. don't care what you THINK sounds better, what real hip hop fans know is that it was ripped off. there should be a code amongst beat makers if you ask me!
KINGDOM COME is 1 of favorite ablum from Jay-Z.A classic all way in archive...Some people say that he went soft on KINGDOM COME.Well,sometime in life,you got to switch it up,get out of making money or making hits.Go out there hit 'em with words/sound that people been waiting and anticipating on you to do.Ok,maybe it is soft.I rather bump something different than hear whatever the fu@# they play on radio these day.You feel me?A shout out to Rick Ross and Trick Daddy for keeping it 100%
@GMANUNDERSTAND this is actually jay's worst album and this beat was ripped off madlib. he did it on his quasimoto album "the unseen". the song is called axe puzzles
@smhillis k, in no way shape or form was this sampled from The Turtles "You Showed Me". although that IS a great song, the loop was taken from Mel & Tim "Keep The Faith"
This song is slept on but the message is eerie as fuck, this dude is a millionare lol.. He trancends the genre already. An critics on his ass about his lyrics an substance, well if he was rhyming like krs1 he would go wood not platinum .. Ya want real hiphop why dont you support it.

ppl act like jay-z doesnt noe that hes dramatically changed up his style since reasonable doubt. He says it himself in the song he's a hustler first and a rapper second
@frontrowcrew227 LOL!!!! JAY Z IS TOP 5 EVER... FORGET WAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS... I NEVER REALIZED THAT UNTIL I SAW UR COMMENT... This sounds like a diss made just for the game... listen to the first part of the song... LOLOL!!
@frontrowcrew227 could be The Game (artist) could also be about 50 cent....he rarely uses names and considering when this came out you don't know for sure.....but you know for sure he's breaking someone down. Your beats are bangin your hooks did it, your lyrics DIDN"T your gangsta look did it....sounds like it's about 50 to me
THIS IS FKIN SiiiiiiCCCKKKKK!!!!! Jay-Z really killed this, this is so inspiring it gives me goosbumps everytime i listen to it! "I used to think rapping at 38 was eww, but last year alone i grossed 38 mill" the games point in beefin with jigga was over afta that
@Safo8888 yeh i realised this after i commented because i was drawing from memory when i was quoting him but when i gave it a listen again i remembered he said ill and not ewww
If you don't fuck with Jay after 13 Straight summers.. something is definitely wrong with you... niggaz keep screaming Nas, Nas. Nasir is cool too, but he aint been consistent for three years... RIP Biggie and Pac.. but its been 10 years now... can they really RIP now...
remember.. Jay been doing this since most of y'all was shitting pampers....
Nas IS consistent BUT his topics don't attract the masses and pop radio. Jay makes party /club songs. Nas is too underground and frankly too real. To make it in today's world you have to kiss the ass of the MTV and Grammy crowd. its sad...
@Ltron9 "Nas IS consistent BUT his topics don't attract the masses and pop radio. Jay makes party /club songs. Nas is too underground and frankly too real. To make it in today's world you have to kiss the ass of the MTV and Grammy crowd. its sad..."
You say that after hearing a song like this? Whats realer than this song right here? This is not a party/club song either by the way.
@Ltron9 Big load of Rubbish- u ever heard of Nastradamus?!! - doing songs with Ginuwine or "Oochie Wallie, Wallie" with his bodyguards. Nas went down the exact same route Jay did - except he couldn't pull it off. Infact Nastradamus is a more commercial/sellout album than any Jay CD. Nas makes great songs- but he isn't Real. - Far from it actually. Jay is the realest rapper he may rap about girls nd money alot but if u actually bother to purchase his albums- you'll see he has a lot hidden gems.
@zsivaz Nas isnt real? cus he didnt know how to make radio records? cut it the fuck out. Real recognize real n u aint lookin familiar right now kid. Nas is as real as it gets
@Jah193 I think u misunderstood my comment. I personally respect Nas but he isn't totally real. Jay Z is more real- that doesn't mean he's a better mc tho. Jay usually always raps about stuff he actually does- Nas doesn't always. He claims to be a prophet one minute nd den he adopts the name"escobar"- wen infact he's never sold drugs. As far as Nas not knowing to make GOOD radio records- its true- ever heard of "you owe me" with ginuwine, oohcie wallie wallie, Dr. Knockboot, Nastradamus...
@zsivaz O yea definitely. but u remember an album called In my lifetime? Jay tried to get commercial there too, wit songs like "sunshine" altho the hard shit on that album was HARD. I think every artist goes thru that point where they try to top their best album with radio appeal n fail. Jay is the greatest to do it, I still cant put 1 over the other like I cant w/ Big n Pac. Pac had substance but Big jus had soul he taught niggas how to rap! I feel u tho
@Jah193 Well agree to an extent but Vol.1 for me was still a criminally underrated masterpiece whereas Nastradamus was straight garbage. Even tho Jay "sold out" he never denied it- songs like sunshine still fit with his personna- even if the video sucked nd didnt. But oochie wallie wallie nd you owe me yet u call ureself a prophet nd claim Jay is a misogynistic? Jay is more real for me anyday.
@zsivaz True but Nas has also made good radio records as well: If I Ruled the World, Street Dreams, Nas is Like, Hate Me Now, Got yourself a Gun, One Mic, Made you look, I Can, Bridging the Gap. Those are all good singles. Maybe not hit singles like Jay has, but good radio songs nontheless.
Jay z is kinda nice but Vonkz better, only difference tween him n me iz he got cheddar......I got worms germinatin' making me cheese to. Watch for Vee ta breeze thru....yo city, yo town clown. Niggaz up too high.....so Im bout ta get down! creep on the scene sly.....ready fo' a showdown.

before allen iverson played on the 76'rs(his number was 3 and he was called the answer) he was in georgetown with a hoya chick(a girl who played on the georgetown athletic squad *aka Georgetown Hoya's*) who was also a lawyer chick... (studied law) not the deepest, but im sure most ppl didnt get that... and just said wtf?

@spliffgame Ok and that has what to do exactly with who is the better emcee? Biggie worked for Puff Daddy too. Jay-z the executive ain't got shit to do with Jay-z the emcee. He's ill don't get me wrong, I just hate when people say that "Nas works for Jay-Z" nonsense.
Antrizzle2009 1 year ago
@spliffgame So Jay - Z is a better businessman than Nas nobody is denying that. Doesn't change the fact that Nas is the better MC. Jay is dope too tho.

@spliffgame You mean WORKED for Jay-Z. Both Jay-Z and Nas left Def Jam (Well, Nas hasn't, but he is gonna, after his new album releases).

bmike83 1 year ago
@tyetye44 okay. i never said jay-z anything. it's this b-money guy. it's about respect and having some dignity. obviously he has none. you can't sue, because then every producer in history would be sued because everyone samples. do you realize that all people would be doing is signing papers all day to the rights to their songs? you don't know the music industry. i'm not tryin to be rude and i aplogize if i come off as such, but that's NOT how it works. and........continued.....

GMANUNDERSTAND 1 year ago
@GMANUNDERSTAND couldn't agree more, bro. it really urks me when someone who has the marketability of jay-z can pretty much steal anything and no one cares. if jay-z respected the game or his fans he would have been a man and went to Madlib. he could have asked him to clean it up if he wanted but no. jay-z has one of the stupidest fanbases in hip hop besides weezy and drake. keep swallowing that blue-pill y'all. livin' in that dream world. the real heads know what's up. this is straight JACKIN'!
tylerstone1980 1 year ago
sorry to all you wannabe hip hop fans talking about how nice this beat is. b-money is a fucking hack! this beat was completely stolen from Madlib. on his Quasimoto album 'The Unseen'. the song is called Axe Puzzles. you can't just add 1 damn sound and call it 'YOUR BEAT'. i like jay, but let's call this beat what it is, stolen goods!
tylerstone1980 1 year ago
@tylerstone1980 - quite informative and not totally irrelevant but who's version is better lol... madlibs or b-money's? think we both know the answer to that. furthermore, jay-z's vocal over the beat is absoutely absurd, its bonkers, like.. great, its greatness. hence why people probably pay this version as a whole more attention, cos its just miles better. madlib's sick altogether though don't get me wrong
MALICE0900 1 year ago
@MALICE0900 you're missing the entire point. so your reply is quite irrelevant in my opinion. b-money took Madlibs loop, put it through fucking pro tools to clean it up. first of all, that should NEVER happen. pro tools ruined hip hop. then added a flute that he no doubt found somewhere else. b-money is about as legit as monopoly money. don't care what you THINK sounds better, what real hip hop fans know is that it was ripped off. there should be a code amongst beat makers if you ask me!
tylerstone1980 1 year ago
KINGDOM COME is 1 of favorite ablum from Jay-Z.A classic all way in archive...Some people say that he went soft on KINGDOM COME.Well,sometime in life,you got to switch it up,get out of making money or making hits.Go out there hit 'em with words/sound that people been waiting and anticipating on you to do.Ok,maybe it is soft.I rather bump something different than hear whatever the fu@# they play on radio these day.You feel me?A shout out to Rick Ross and Trick Daddy for keeping it 100%

If you don't fuck with Jay after 13 Straight summers.. something is definitely wrong with you... niggaz keep screaming Nas, Nas. Nasir is cool too, but he aint been consistent for three years... RIP Biggie and Pac.. but its been 10 years now... can they really RIP now...
remember.. Jay been doing this since most of y'all was shitting pampers....
phrenchvanilla 2 years ago 6
Nas IS consistent BUT his topics don't attract the masses and pop radio. Jay makes party /club songs. Nas is too underground and frankly too real. To make it in today's world you have to kiss the ass of the MTV and Grammy crowd. its sad...

You say that after hearing a song like this? Whats realer than this song right here? This is not a party/club song either by the way.

@Ltron9 Big load of Rubbish- u ever heard of Nastradamus?!! - doing songs with Ginuwine or "Oochie Wallie, Wallie" with his bodyguards. Nas went down the exact same route Jay did - except he couldn't pull it off. Infact Nastradamus is a more commercial/sellout album than any Jay CD. Nas makes great songs- but he isn't Real. - Far from it actually. Jay is the realest rapper he may rap about girls nd money alot but if u actually bother to purchase his albums- you'll see he has a lot hidden gems.

Jah193 1 year ago
@Jah193 I think u misunderstood my comment. I personally respect Nas but he isn't totally real. Jay Z is more real- that doesn't mean he's a better mc tho. Jay usually always raps about stuff he actually does- Nas doesn't always. He claims to be a prophet one minute nd den he adopts the name"escobar"- wen infact he's never sold drugs. As far as Nas not knowing to make GOOD radio records- its true- ever heard of "you owe me" with ginuwine, oohcie wallie wallie, Dr. Knockboot, Nastradamus...
zsivaz 1 year ago
@zsivaz O yea definitely. but u remember an album called In my lifetime? Jay tried to get commercial there too, wit songs like "sunshine" altho the hard shit on that album was HARD. I think every artist goes thru that point where they try to top their best album with radio appeal n fail. Jay is the greatest to do it, I still cant put 1 over the other like I cant w/ Big n Pac. Pac had substance but Big jus had soul he taught niggas how to rap! I feel u tho
Jah193 1 year ago
@Jah193 Well agree to an extent but Vol.1 for me was still a criminally underrated masterpiece whereas Nastradamus was straight garbage. Even tho Jay "sold out" he never denied it- songs like sunshine still fit with his personna- even if the video sucked nd didnt. But oochie wallie wallie nd you owe me yet u call ureself a prophet nd claim Jay is a misogynistic? Jay is more real for me anyday.
zsivaz 1 year ago
@zsivaz True but Nas has also made good radio records as well: If I Ruled the World, Street Dreams, Nas is Like, Hate Me Now, Got yourself a Gun, One Mic, Made you look, I Can, Bridging the Gap. Those are all good singles. Maybe not hit singles like Jay has, but good radio songs nontheless.
