G*O*A*T - The Official Jay-Z Thread

[OfTheCross]

Y'all still wanna act like he ain't conscious?

Bruh...I was working retail at Polo Ralph Lauren one point and it was a mixed staff, whites, blacks and latins.

Demographically it was very diverse as well. Ppl from the city, like myself, and ppl from the burbs.

I don't remember how it came up..but I responded to this surburban white/latin chick

"All us blacks got is sports and entertainment!"


. I was really on my Jay shyt, then.



And her response was just like

" "


Like, it's sad that I felt that way. She was shocked at that mentality.

That shyt stuck with me for some reason.

Always loved Jay's verse on this:

jay was so comfortable on many types of rap songs. this could be classified as smooth r&b rap. a lot of goat contenders would sound horrible on this. yet jay can turn round and spit hard shyt.

 

[Mike Otherz]

you can make a case for jay having 8 classics.

i said a case remember, i think he has a solid 4.

but the case is RD, Vol1, Vol2, Vol3, Blueprint, Black Album, American Gangster, Watch The Throne. i say this cause people can make a substantive claim that either of these albums are their favorite.

RD is my favorite, best combination of lyrics, production, flow, concepts etc/ Vol 1 has some of his best album cuts ever. Vol2 is the crossover album that made him a star. Vol 3 , to hipsters, has the most witty lyrics and innovative production form timbaland, rocwilder etc. blueprint we already know black album we already know. i was late on american gangster, but i think it holds up now. and watch the throne was an eventful collab album.


4 i am certain of though is RD, BP, TBA, AG.

NYers...

[OfTheCross]

Waring to warner, undercover to covers

The whole verse is sick...

What do you guys want from the next Hov album?

It would be cool if he didn't collaborate with the usual suspects, Pharrell, Ye, Timbo, Swizz etc and if he didn't mix it up with some popular cats.

 

[OfTheCross]

Bet.

Learned something today.

I miss when rap was more regional

 

[havoc]

nikkaz is dead of the hits i approve

kennedy style wit ya memory out

nikkaz is dead of the hits i approve

kennedy style wit ya memory out

I scream out fukk the world then I throw somethin'
nikkas schemin' hard but fukk it, it's the God
I leave bullets lodged leave you leanin' on your broad
And our punks leave you gagged up in your car

 

[havoc]

nice introspective verse from jay here.

That's my favorite song in Anarchy. I got this shyt in repeat.
