I'm wit Triple A. Kanye's Verse laid the foundation for the songs subject. And even if it didn't common sense says Ye ate this joint. Then again it'sjust an opinion...
i'm a HUGE kanye fan but even i admit jay z went killed it, but that doesn't mean to say imma just start puttin jay-z songs on my mp3 and say he's better
some people put money into that crap that be going on in Africa and then their are MF who cant do crap but talk....GOODNIGHT...at the end of each night can u thank god for what your mouth and thoughts are.NO
Stop Hating Ameth........talking to his fans about the difference.......two lines in life.....to different aspects...the good and bad ok u gotta understand
Bleek could be one hit away his whole career, as long as I'm alive he's a millionaire, and even if I die he's in my will somewhere, so he could kickback and chill somewhere.
How can you falter, when you're the rock of gibraltar, i had to get off the boat so I can walk on water, this aint a tall order this is nothing to me, difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week. I do this in my sleep. I sold kilos of coke, so I'm guessing I can sell CDs...
Jay ripped this whole verse. Shitted on Kanye on his own track!
@murph277v Yea, Jay Z ripped the verse but he wasn't talking about what the track is about... diamonds from sierra leone! That nigga Jay Z stay talking about nonsense and shit. That nigga didn't once mention Sierra Leone! hahaha. Kanye WON
@MrOmeMan " i aint talking boyt the ones that be glowning im taliking bout roc a fella my home" the song is about is mainly about the problems in rocafella,yes the original is about serra leone,but this is mainy about the ROC ,jayz takes shots at dame dash and camron here
@MrSpliffstarz Nigga please. What verse he took and from where? All I know is this nigga Ye was talking about Sierra Leone at least most of the time and Jay Z was talking about his wealth and success and shit. Jay Z is not a versatile rapper. He's one way.
Don't call me no nigga for one thing. Second Kanye has said it was a verse that Jay-z had laying around and he put it on the song, if you would do a little research you would know that instead of talking out your ass. If you don't think Jay is versatile i suggest you go listen to Minority Report, American Dreamin, etc.
Oh wait, you're just another fucking idiot who don't listen to an artist body of work, you probably judge them off singles.
@MrSpliffstarz Quit bitching, nigga. Getting all mad and shit about nothing. And when did Kanye say he had a verse laying around? Being modest, no doubt. Ok, I'll admit that its suprising for me to hear Jay Z actually rapping about something else in Minority Report but his vibe still the same. He has no delivery. Kanye spits from the heart and soul, Jay Z tries to be clever with it, but I ain't feeling it. He ain't real.
btw, you're a bitch. butt hurt cuz I'm talking about your lover.
I remember reading it in a old XXL or Source Mag back in the day, he said it was an old Jay-z verse. LOL at Jay-z having no delivery, are you fucking serious, do you even know what delivery means. If you can't pick up on Jay-z double entandres, world play, and metaphors, i think that might speak to you intelligence more than anything else, or lack there of. How can you say he ain't real, when he actually lives what he raps. 15 years of longevity and relevance dude!
@MrSpliffstarz Heh, he said what exactly was an old Jay Z verse? And magazines DON'T count as books, smartass. Jay Z doesn't have much of a delivery, FLOW, maybe a little... but he doesn't have the charisma that Kanye and Eminem has. When I say "no", I mean in comparison. Don't give me that intelligence bullshit, I pick up on everything that dude says, I didn't say his lyrics are trash, though I still don't feel 'em, I said he is. Want lyrics? Prince Ea - Lyrical grass man.
@MrSpliffstarz Nas can explain if he lives what he raps about - before. Now, maybe, only 'cuz you idiots are dumb enough to give him money and now he sounds like a broken record. "My success, you're not successful". You think I like hearing about that in almost every Jay Z song? At least Kanye switches it up and speaks from a ground level rather than a "God" level. I ain't saying Kanye's lyrics are all that, I'm just saying he's better than Jay Z in every track. But That's just me so fuck off.
@MrSpliffstarz Btw, for a smartass Jay Z fan, who loves to insult my intelligence, you're not very adept with your use in writing. Your grammar is terrible for a guy who wants me to "read a book." How about you get your retarded ass back in school and stop posting your butthurt comments on every Jay Z video to every Jay Z grunter. Sad ass mother fucker.
I'm pretty sure i'm more educated than you for one thing, do you think i am paying attention to grammar on a comment section on Youtube. I'm sorry i'm not submitting a dissertation to one of my professor. You're the idiot who got backed in a corner because you couldn't refute what i said. You're the lame who clearly had a Jay-z bias instead of looking at everything objectively, but you would rather display emotions like a female.
@MrSpliffstarz Ah ha, I like how you try to flip the roles here... not. Don't give me that backed in a corner crap and I'm being smart shit, if I recall correctly you were the one crying cuz I called you a nigga, and talking about doing research, and I'm a fucking idiot and all. You insulted me only cuz you couldn't make a real fuckin point and now you claim I'm backed into a corner? Shit... I'm only giving you what you giving me and I ain't even getting tense about this, YOU are. I'm chillin.
@MrOmeMan and @MrSpillstarz this jayz verse was made for this song it wasnt takne from anywhere else. Jayz is versitile in a sense. Look at the blueprint 3. there are many songs on that album that show how how many different styles he has, but never the less, like he said in this song "...Im a business, man, so let me handle my business damn" he knows how to make money and sell albums, and thats stickin to the blueprint HE laid out
@cordstewart90 I didn't say he wasn't making money, I just said he wasn't better than Kanye West. I respect Kanye more because he's a bit more real than Jay and if you listen to him he sounds more passionate and seems like he means every word he says, Jay just uses words to use words. Take a look at Soulja Boy, since you're referencing money. You're saying that he's better than all underground rappers 'cuz what he's making? C'mon, man.
@AmethystAnarchyAngel@theosirispapers Jay z's verse builds on what Kanye talked about in the original song....the longevity of Rocafella...Jay z provides great lyricism in the song: "How could you falter when you're The Rock of Gibraltar, I had to get of the boat so I could walk on water" and "People lined up to see the Titanic sinkin' ,Instead we rose from the ash like a phoenix" ...well as Jay said GOOD NIGHT!
@AmethystAnarchyAngel This song is a remix . Kanye didn't only just talk about Afrikan exploitation he also said I ain't talkin bout the ones that be glowin I'm talkin bout Rocafella, my home, my chain". So what does Jay come in talking about? Rocafella Records members "his chain", his success and the success of his team. Makes a lot of sense to me.
@staone1 Nope...hating in my opinion. Jay comes in with his metaphors and tells it like he sees it and sometimes people either don't understand it, hate on it, or both. Everyones entitled to their opinion though.
@AmethystAnarchyAngel he did that because at the time there was a lot going on between their crew & people talking and if you listen kanye opened up the way for that when he asked "whats up w/you & jay are yall ok man". so jay just used this to respond.
@AmethystAnarchyAngel u must be retarded. This was around the time when THE ROC (everyone knows the dynasty sign is a diamond) was sold and he was addressing all the rumors of what really went on. do ur homework buddy
@meech2592 I don't need to do my homework on crappy music or on a man who admits to raping children (Gay-Z). Gay-Z and Koonye can go straight to hell for all I care. You too :-)
@AmethystAnarchyAngel Yo i guess this song was too much for you to handle. Jay-z's verse was the perfect follow up from Kanye's. Even Kayne said "when i speak of diamonds in this song, i aint talkin bout the ones that be glowin, im talking bout rocafella my home" and you talkin bout crappy music yet your here aren't you. Dont be mad that your stuck making GAY ass webcam videos searching for attention while niggas like jay and kayne make moves.
@AmethystAnarchyAngel you are completely wrong. The name of the song is Diamonds are forever, therefore it is about DIAMONDS. Kanye spit one interpretation of diamond, while jay did his, both in their own way/style; that is what makes this song so good in fact, not just the flow/clever lyrics.
@SteveZilberman Well Mr. Zilberman, looks like you're the one who's completely WRONG! We all have different interpretations of things, especially music. I see Jay-Z's rap as an insult to the message Kanye was trying to convey. Looks like everyone likes coons jiggin for Zionist pennies these days.
@AmethystAnarchyAngel makes perfect since kanye even say when i speak of diamonds inna song not the ones that be glowin im talkin bout rockafella my home ...and thats wut jay broke down
@AmethystAnarchyAngel Don't be so stewwpid! If u were listening instead of judging u would notice that Jay is simply answering the question that was circulating at that time in the industry. (would rocafella crumble after jay z and dame dash split?) This was jiggas way of letting the world know that Rocafella diamonds are forever !!! Hence " the chain remains/ the gang is in tact/ the name is mine/ i'll take blame for that!!! now... listen again... dummy!
@AmethystAnarchyAngel this is the remix..its not necessarily talking about the issue of blood diamonds in Sierra Leone. Its talking about the company/organization of RocaFella Records...Jay-Z is rapping about how the organization wont fail...
@AmethystAnarchyAngel All that 'listening' and you weren't even listening. Kanye established a topic with his verses, THEN, he started on another topic. This topic concerned the inner workings of the ROC after all the mayhem and all of the questions the public was asking because of it.
He literally threw Jay the ball. Then Jay took it away.
@AmethystAnarchyAngel Actually Jay-Z talks a lot about his Record label. Which is what Kanye's original second verse is all about. Also his record label is name for making a diamond sign, so he's talking about his diamond being forever.
@AmethystAnarchyAngel I think the direction he took with his verse was 'diamonds' i.e. Rocafella his label...the diamond sign is their signature... ;)
WHy is it that Jay-z cant even stay on the topic? Its like he never knew this was a deep song with international soical content. The song is about the blood diamonds that have their origin in sierra leone, diamonds that tens of thousands have been murdered over with the complicity of western diamond companies like debeers. The asinine populace of the western world especially amerikkka know nothing of this. ANd jay-z raps about what?
Diamonds are forever? Fuck a diamond, fuck gold, fuck money and fuck all your material bullshit. I'm the diamond, and that's what this song is about, be the diamond, shine harder every day, and you'll be forever.
Dope song, specially Jigga's verse. Actually just posted a video that's sort of a tribute, but also addressing how Hip Hop has become all about materialism. I spit it like I see it.
@youngfreshinfly jay z cannot rap for shit, he has no flow and his lyrics are weak ass hell. he raps like lil wayne lol if u like him then u retarded literaly
its pretty sick but shirley makes the song kanye shunt av dun the "eva eva eva " over her vocal one of the best females of all time her voice is so powerful ..
And BET had Kanye West behind Em and Lil wayne???? Get serious... You come out from day one and can shine wit Jay Z... I AINT (forgive my broken english) neva heard Mr West get drug on nuthing... but I got a few colaborations I know both them other two wish they could get back...
stop sayin jay is off topic. this song is called diamonds are forever and the representation of roc (the group) is diamond, thats why in most concert you hear him ask the audience to throw the roc signs in the air (diamond).. jay was talking about how it would last forever but eventually backfired on him later on! lol
how could you falter?/ When you're the ROC of Gibraltar/ I had to get off the boat, so I could walk on water// This aint a tall order/ this is nothing to me/ Difficult takes a day/ IMPOSSIBLE takes a week
@hotmouthmc They're both shit. There's no skill to what they do, have no affinity with music (only money) and have no morals. They might be well known, but trust me, that's all they are.
@tis2nwod ehhhh wrong.....i guess itz easier to hate on rapperz when u're sittin behind a comp verse doing what they do......hate all u want tho they're still makin millionz even in thea sleep.....n you must be in here for a reason...stop hatin it does nuttin for u it only makez them even better when they got haterz.
@FIyWaIker Hip-hop used to be a form of poetry. It was a platform for talented rappers to rap about things that mattered. Yes music evolves (thankfully) but when you lose the socially and politically conscious lyrics from hip-hop, I sincerely believe that it's just pop music but with spoken lyrics.
@tis2nwod There is still hip-hop like that being created. Lupe's an incredible story teller and overall artist. To be quite honest, I have no idea what I said to cause you to reply to me, dude.
@tis2nwod I got it now mybad I'm retarded. I personally think that Kanye and Jay-Z are talented story telling rappers and at the same time they can go off on a track every now and then and rap about what everyone else does.
If anyone knows how to count bars then you would know that Jay-Z's verse is WAY sicker than you think. He said "kanyeez you got me, freeway to foxy, YG's, Tierra Marie, Peedi Watch me(2 bars total).then he says"Bleek can be 1 hit away his whole, career as long as im alive hes a millionaire, and even if i die he's in my will somewhere, so he can just sit back and chill somewhere oh yeah, he dont even have to write rhymes, the dynasties like my money last "3 life x's"(he gave bleek 6 bars) get it?
Don't you people just listen to songz wit out gettin into fightz and debating on shit, damn i guess you all got no lifez way to much time on ya handz!
PLEASE DONT READ THIS. YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT something bad will happen. NOW UV STARTED READIN DIS DUNT STOP THIS IS SO SCARY.

(would rocafella crumble after jay z and dame dash split?) This was jiggas way of letting the world know that Rocafella diamonds are forever !!! Hence " the chain remains/ the gang is in tact/ the name is mine/ i'll take blame for that!!! now... listen again... dummy!

@AmethystAnarchyAngel this is the remix..its not necessarily talking about the issue of blood diamonds in Sierra Leone. Its talking about the company/organization of RocaFella Records...Jay-Z is rapping about how the organization wont fail...

@AmethystAnarchyAngel All that 'listening' and you weren't even listening. Kanye established a topic with his verses, THEN, he started on another topic. This topic concerned the inner workings of the ROC after all the mayhem and all of the questions the public was asking because of it.
He literally threw Jay the ball. Then Jay took it away.
Kanye; Blood Diamond conflict > Roc-a-fella break-up > Jay; Roc-a-fella break-up & Roc-a-fella unity.
Pay more attention.

@AmethystAnarchyAngel Actually Jay-Z talks a lot about his Record label. Which is what Kanye's original second verse is all about. Also his record label is name for making a diamond sign, so he's talking about his diamond being forever.
MrRonnieb1234 3 weeks ago
@AmethystAnarchyAngel I think the direction he took with his verse was 'diamonds' i.e. Rocafella his label...the diamond sign is their signature... ;)

WHy is it that Jay-z cant even stay on the topic? Its like he never knew this was a deep song with international soical content. The song is about the blood diamonds that have their origin in sierra leone, diamonds that tens of thousands have been murdered over with the complicity of western diamond companies like debeers. The asinine populace of the western world especially amerikkka know nothing of this. ANd jay-z raps about what?

Diamonds are forever? Fuck a diamond, fuck gold, fuck money and fuck all your material bullshit. I'm the diamond, and that's what this song is about, be the diamond, shine harder every day, and you'll be forever.

stop sayin jay is off topic. this song is called diamonds are forever and the representation of roc (the group) is diamond, thats why in most concert you hear him ask the audience to throw the roc signs in the air (diamond).. jay was talking about how it would last forever but eventually backfired on him later on! lol

@FIyWaIker Hip-hop used to be a form of poetry. It was a platform for talented rappers to rap about things that mattered. Yes music evolves (thankfully) but when you lose the socially and politically conscious lyrics from hip-hop, I sincerely believe that it's just pop music but with spoken lyrics.
