I'm trying to argue against two people claiming Jay is the biggest snake who only ruins careers and that Dame was some innocent that Jay just snaked.
Can someone help me out with some info?
@OfTheCross?

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

Is there any legend that gets more ignorant hate than Jay Z?

nope

 

[Danie84]

Basquiat, Warhols serving as my Muses

...Hov with the Triple Entendres

If you understand how Warhol was more than just a Mentor to Basquiat

Carolina blue kicks

Carolina blue kicks

Hottest nikka on the block
Usedto wheely bicycles since I was six



I can't help but laugh how he highjacked that song from Kiss, man. The kiss version was great too

LL is great too. No shade

"Mannerisms of a young Bobby DeNiro...."
This has to be one of the greatest openings to a verse in history, and then the verse following it
Jay's flow was cruise control.
It fit's perfectly as the penultimate song.
Any thoughts on it/that opening line?

lowkey my fav song on RD

The other day I made a thread about small businesses and quoted this Jay lyric:

And I can't help the poor if I'm one of them
So I got rich and gave back, to me that's the win/win

This dude Jay encourages the hell out of Black ppl to get money and do well...He's a lowkey militant, man

It's true high society don't want me to move
Into the penthouse building with spectacular views
They're like uhh, "He's a menace he could never be a tenant"
I'm like ooh, what's a young nikka to do?
I bring the brothers to the building give a feeling that I don't
Give a fukk we just chillin watchin chandelier ceilings high as fukk

dat defiance

You right. It ain't even lowkey.

America tried to emasculate the greats
Murder Malcolm,gave Cassius the shakes
Wait, tell them rumble young man rumble
Try to dim your lights tell you be humble

Jay Z has been presenting himself as a black man getting back at white America and putting black people on since Reasonable Doubt.
Just listen to the end of Can't Knock The Hustle and 22 Two's.
His comments about black America aren't lowkey, just listen to Murder To Excellence.
But I'd never call him militant, at all.
