Allen Hughes shares his reaction when Jimmy Ivine let him hear 'Hit Em Up' before Tupac released it.

Damn camel got a C for effort!

 

[boogers]

jigga warriors mad as fukk as usual

 

[Braman]

Is there anything besides Tupac that makes this man relevant?

I’m annoyed by this video also but don’t just say dumb shyt

 

[Pool_Shark]

Didnt Pac whoop his ass

It's crazy but I've always said what he said, referring to Jay-Z.

At that time, bro wasn't even looked at like that DUDE.

Once them nikkaz got killed, it left a void that anybody could have filled.

It was other A+ to A rappers around, but somehow this C student made his way. Undeniable

 

[DeuceZ]

Damn he shyt on Jigga something serious at the end

I was like damn son

Can't get on board with this take when has JayZ ever rapped at a c level.

Bruh... Compared to the nikkaz out at that time.
Bro was far behind.
He really has always been further behind lyrically but he was able to make hits. That was the difference

What??? Dude who raps better than Hov wtf?
Name names lmao besides Nas there's really not a single person out rapping Jay


Edit alright Nas and ghostface but that's it

 

[TheAnointedOne]

Guess Jay-Z is the C-minus student lol

That's not the issue, quiet as kept the reason most these nikkas get salty about Jay is because they like their emcees humble. And that nikka is the direct opposite of that. He came in, announced himself, took over shyt and let you know about it loud and in your face unapologetically.

That's always gonna rub people the wrong way. nikkas can't admit that so they gotta pretend homie can't rap

 

[LevelUp]

Lol

 

[⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐]

Jay Z could clearly rap his ass off, particularly with that pre-RD double time flow that you all hate on

There was a time when such a rap style was requisite for being a rapper

Definitely those 2.
But I could say 3 members from Wu
One of them being damn near the most popular rapper in hip hop at the time, Method Man.

A couple dudes from the West coast. Another one being one of the most popular in the game Snoop.

Then DMX started running shyt and Busta.

There's always people on the Internet asking that question when was Jay-Z the best rapper. And that start breaking down the years.
There really was never a time Jay-Z was either the best rapper or artist. But somehow he became the man.

I think of jayz like drake.
For comparison the game was filled with a bunch of j. Coles, Kendricks and them Griselda nikkaz.
But somehow people start acting like drake is better than them. He's a C+ rapper but he can make hits .

 

[the elastic]

Where does Nas fit in all this?
