Jay-Z on Imaginary Players > your favorite MC's braggadocious rhymes

[Formerly known as...]

yeah, he shytted on a lotta folks egos with that shyt.

For real. Whole song it seem like he had the

"I was wearing that platinum shyt when yall nikkas thought it was silver nshyt. "

I;m not gonna lie, up to that point, sure I had heard plenty of raps about jewlery and benzes/lexuses with the TVs in it and nikkas moving hundreds of ki's in a day while standing on the corner ()

But all this platinum, cristal cartier jet talk was totally new to me.

And he was so matter of fact with it, you know he wasn't lying. No really hyping it up, just talking to you like "look, man.... "

plus in my mind at the time (and a looooooootta other folks, but few will admit it), he was still just "Jay-Z the Mid-Tier Rapper". How was we supposed to know he had it like that!?

(even a while later, DMX's "lookit all these off brand nikkas/running around talking like they holding figures big as Jigga's" had me like "wow, Hov got it like THAT!?")

this song and his blazay attitude about it passed over me like a fog, left me sitting like

Breh when Dmx dropped that line I had the same reaction! I was more of an X fan then but when I heard that it literally peaked my interest in Jay. Dude really been ahead of most of them his whole career

 

[The Connoisseurs]

Not only was he spitting, but he was speaking prophecies in this

The Bass, the vocal sample the nonchalant flow with the vocal tone inflections and the irony of you instantly grooving to a song just to hear the person shyt on your life
...

20/10 song

 

[Bone$]

You beer money, I'm all year money,, I'm popping, You ain't gotta count it, it's all there money

 

[iamduval]

You got show doe. Little to no doe. Sell a bunch of records and you’ll still owe doe.



He was vicious


My favorite version of hov for sure. He was unquestionably the coolest rapper

Because most rappers were exaggerating in their raps so it came of as Jay was just doing the same. Like u said, How was we supposed to know when everyone was exaggerating?

That confident/arrogant look on Jiggas face in the video when X drops that line.....

 

[a1pacino]

Then mase washed him lightly on a r &b record

Jay iceberg goofy sweater in this video

I wouldn’t say that Mase washed him but he had a cheeky jab on that 112 track to try and put J in his place, just got to listen to Ride or Die by Jay Z to see who washed who though.....






Mase was/is a beast, one of my favourite rappers, I was hyped to see him finally come back but wtf is going on?

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

lmao Jay's shyt talking and arrogance on record is unparalleled

he basically invented it

Had broke nikkas lookin' down on Range Rovers if it wasn't the 4.6

The nikka RUINED an entire class of BMW SUV's fam. For like a goddamn generation

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

Young MA got her whole flow from this

Basically everyone from Drake to Wayne to Fab/Jada got their style from how Hov did this shyt.
