“I Got The Smiley Face, Na Na Nana Na Na”
Karen Civil typed out another excerpt from Jay’s XXL interview:
Understood, but you’re one of the few rappers whose movement is still followed by artists old and young. How conscious are you of that position?
…Like I said, if the genre needs the game to be stretched out, ‘cause you have those guys who are 35 years old trying to make smiley face or whatever, competing with Soulja Boy.
Ha! That’s a Trey Songz record with Soulja Boy on it. It’s hot. They’re clearly aiming at the young kids with that track.
It’s not funny though. [Laughs] I mean, like Jim Jones, for example. And I don’t mean this because we never see eye to eye. He made “Na Na Nana Na.” [Laughs] What’s the difference between “Smiley Face” and “Na Na Nana Na”? Na Na Nana Na” could’ve been called “Smiley Face” [Sings] I got the smiley face, na na nana na na.

You ever noticed that Jay always goes hard at his comp when he has a album dropping?
He did the same thing when KC was about to come out, he made the jim diss, and spoke on cam more than he ever did.
Good business move by hov?

I think its gay when Nah makes meaningless posts like this, I’d much prefer a Joe88 mixtape as a post waster (no shots at Joe) just think it coulda been a bit more productive

I can tolerate papoose cause i’m not listening to him expecting what I would from a drake record, but every aspect factor’s in when you say who’s better than who
Lyrically imo
Pap > J. Cole (not by much) > Drake
Delivery
J. Cole > Drake > Pap
Song making ability
Drake > J. Cole > Pap
Now pap was at the end of the last 2, but he’s so lyrical that he could still be better than both of them niggas,I bet that he writes his raps before he gets to the studio. There all good in there respective areas (pause) so it’s really not a shot at none of them.

^It still was a bad move considering how much more money they could’ve made, and how big it could’ve been, they both was the kings of there genre at that time, actually it wasn’t hov’s fault, it was just bad timing, and lack of public restrooms on kel’s behalf

Didn’t Sauce sue Puff for not giving him enough paper on that horrendous biggie tribute track where they raped a classic Police song? I think someone else involved with that song sued Puff too, Kelly Price?
