Always thought the money phone was lame and kind of embarrassing.

But I also thought the initial "30 is the new 20" Jay's "grown man" style of baggy Evisu's, an un-tucked XXL button down shirt and a yankee fitted was lame too.

And DOA didn't do anything. A damn near whole autotune'd album release by his mans a year earlier influenced a lot more rappers than DOA :russ:

But good for Jay taking shots at the social media generation I'm with it :ehh: kinda like when Yo Gotti released "Everybody" I was like :ohhh: but ultimately it didn't change nothing.

I always said that about Jay he's like the one dude that mad people take his word as gospel. Shows them the error of their ways. Has dudes switching up their whole way of dress, what they drink, what type of watch to strive for, and ultimately their thinking. Dude is the biggest "authority" in rap. Not naming names but other MCs (from other boros) who could be considered his peers - if they said the same shyt - people wouldn't pay half as much mind to it...that's a fact. Shows also that when we think dude is just laying low making business moves and making babies and shyt he's still watching over everything paying close attention to what the current state of the game is like. A recent interview with Bleek on a podcast he said Jay was always like that - he knew everything about everyone and what was going on. Said he was a fan of Sean Price and those duck down dudes and kept up with their music waaaay after their big run in the 90s was over. That surprised me

yall gon stop denying Death Of Autotune did something,it had that shyt on hiatus for a minute. How could Jay have known there would be a messiah of autotune known as Future Hendrix that would bring that shyt back from the dead so soon:wow:?

Future was just starting to buzz a little bit (not nation wide but in Atlanta) around the time Jay dropped BP3 / DOA. I remember hearing him on a J-Money / J-Futuristic tape at that time . I actually liked BP3 as a whole and im very critical of Jay-Z but DOA to me was :francis: too little, too late and borderline :flabbynsick:.

Now if he dropped DOA as a one-off single in the middle of 2007 :ohhh: that woulda been nuclear :whew: he woulda had dudes in tears. :ufdup:

Maybe if you had a father your financial literacy wouldn't have come with your $9.99 Tidal subscription.

The other 3rd grade insults about sexuality doesn't move me, homie. Be a man and debate facts and merits. The first one to insults is generally the one in last place in a match of wits. Good day.
I've done nothing but debate the facts while you do nothing while you do nothing but deflect. You started the insults with the ad hominem bullshyt. I didn't even mention Jay when I quoted you. My point has nothing to do with Jay. I quoted you because you are defending blacks doing dumb counterproductive shyt using stupid reasoning. Doesn't matter how many times you deflect on Jay or use ad hominems either. fukk you and your day.

Lets be honest Jay Camel is trying to shyt on these young brehs living the life. Stunting etc. And he knows he can't join them because he too old. And it would look terrible for grandpa jay to do it. Bottom line. Jay is a hater


Nahh Jay knows exactly what it is. he's not taking shots at anyone young I don't think. He did the same shyt and knows what it's all about. Jay out of all people I doubt hes gonna tell a young kid getting money how to live. He knows eventually people grow up, like he did. i think he's speaking to the 2nd childhood dudes who haven't grown up - grown men a few years younger than him or his own age who are IG flexing and doing female shyt. You got dudes like Jim Jones making songs about scamming and shopping at Vinny's like he's a 19 year old kid. Those are the dudes this shyt is aimed at

All you did is call people feminine and mentally handicapped because you are obvious losing every argument you present.

I'm now wondering if you are simply trolling.

But Jay was like 40 something bragging about his sex life and money like a teenager.

I'm losing what argument? "All you did was call people feminine". You haven't even shown that you understand what I'm even arguing. Your posts are irrelevant to my posts.

You say it was too little too late,but i think if you think back you will realize it was right on time:scust:.....it had got to the point everybody was using that shyt,every newcomer was using it,nikkas who didnt know how to use it using it just because:martin:

it was okay for Future to survive and thrive with it because he was great enough to do it....but DOA definitley killed off the weaker roaches who was abusing it....unfortunatley we lost T-Pain as he was the face of that shyt at the time.....makes you wonder what wouldve happened if that DOA song came out just as Future was new,but the face of autotune....would it have had the same effect on Future:ohhh:

I like to think not but in the social media age people turn on nikkas with the quickness:mjlol:?Future good with or without so i like to think he wouldve survived and made Jay look stupid:sas1:

but Jay was able to make people believe a button up with jeans,timbs and a fitted was a good look,so i wouldnt put anything past em:mjlol:

How?

I'm saying Jay isn't advising as much as he is talking down. This is no different than Master P trying to condemn cursing in raps after he got rich doing it.

Hilarious that camel pack supposedly drops basic knowledge that any grown man over 25 should know and gets called the goat like dozen rappers haven't done the same thing. While simultaneously shytting on numerous black men. :ohhh:

Jay is a father figure to a lot of people. That's not even a slug. He's telling grown men something that their fathers should have told them. But many of us lacked fathers. Some chose to obtain knowledge on their own and others waited for it to be delivered. That's why you have 36 year old men going :ohhh: at some of the shyt Jay (and at one point Ye) talk about. It's why nikkas was talking about "getting on their grown man shyt at THIRTY TWO." Better late than never I suppose.
