Lil Wayne ft. Kidd Kidd, Gudda Gudda, T Streets & Mack Maine – My Birthday
An unreleased joint reportedly from the Dedication 3 sessions that didn’t make the project. And Dedication 3 wasn’t all that good anyways, so I’ll let you do that math.

Nas = GOAT
Big = GOAT
Jay = GOAT
Niggas will ack like Nas’ incessant contradictions and artists Mishandlings(I’m sure this ain’t the right way to word it) never happened or like BIG wasn’t makin shit up sometimes and sending sublims…
Let that boy cook it ain’t his fault that niggas can’t fuck wit him wit the wordplay, flow or delivery….. Lol

If u would have told me in 1996 that jay z would be where he is today I would’ve kindly told u to go fuck yourself.I thought jay was trying too hard to personify that mafioso image on that first album
June 10th, 2011 at 7:46 pm
But goddamn my nigga I think your secretly Jungle… I have never met anyone with as much disdain for one of the GOAT hip hop performers as you… You go as far as to get mad at niggas for appreciating the music and business acumen like he ain’t set the bar and do push ups on it damn near by himself since the late 90′s into the new millennia..
===================================
Me? Mad?
Not at all.
And his music as well as his business acumen are kinda overrated.
I just call it like I see it.
“it ain’t his fault that niggas can’t fuck wit him wit the wordplay, flow or delivery”
Amp exists to counteract bullshit like what was written above.
Jay-z is not perfect. He is not hands down the best MC of his generation. He’s not the illest business mind in Hip-Hop.
He just wants you to believe he is and I see some of you have been fooled.
June 10th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
Is it really that hard to believe that I can say & stand by all the shit I say about Jay-Z and still (somewhat) respect and appreciate his music?
June 10th, 2011 at 7:48 pm
The Nas stannism blinds most from the greatness Hov stores like water in a camel’s hump.

smh… It’s True (c) Ease
The Nahright C section elitists have def strengthened my stance on dudes music… Hatred only makes my opinion stronger… I’m rootin for the Heat to win it all too for the EXACT same reason… But here’s the gotcha… Those guys are actually EXTREMELY talented… So much so that their comparing certain players to Jordan… So the hate really isn’t even warranted it’s just cool to do smh… Makes me think of one of those GOATS I mentioned
June 10th, 2011 at 7:53 pm
Hatred only makes my opinion stronger
=================================
If you think any criticism of Jay-Z is “hatred”, you aren’t really paying attention.
June 10th, 2011 at 7:54 pm
Jay-z is not perfect.
^^^
Of course he’s not…
“I’m far from being GOD but I work GODDAMN hard” (c) Do I Have To?
But just that line above illustrates what I mean… Niggas will be HARD PRESSED to play wit them words and them flows and EVOLVE as a musician and person regardless of whatever image niggas have of em like the boy Hov…
June 10th, 2011 at 7:56 pm
Amp…
Let’s call a spade a spade…
That’s hatred what you be spewin dog lol…
And I’m not judging if you hate niggas you hate niggas… But damn if I just can’t understand it… Nas and Sigel even know what it is lol

> no nigga…the dude gave you 2 examples of hov winning & becuz you’re stannin for p you used that as a medium between the two to pitch your disdain.
who in their right mind only thinks of one way to win? foh!
you stay on that spinster shit.
June 10th, 2011 at 7:59 pm
The image of perfection Jay-Z tries to give off is what makes me wanna poke holes in his facade.
Nobody is perfect.
The fact that Jay-Z is so pre-meditated, so controlled that he never allows himself to be a real person in the media…that shit bothers me and makes it harder to connect with him on a basic human level.

Only to someone who only sees things one way.
Give me an example of this hatred.

i don’t think hov is perfect at all.
but i’d be a fool to think that dude doesn’t have a strong understanding of his field w/most of the bases BEEN covered.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
I have YET to hear anyone outside of the C Section call BP3 wack yet, too…
I’ve heard them say the rocked out to the OB4CL2 more, because Rae was back but if it wasn’t that or BP3 it was Cudi rockin…
June 10th, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Funny shit is, I’m prolly more knowledgeable about Jay’s come up/discog then most.

If you ain’t stanning, you’re hating.

Vol. 1 gets no love
Some of Jay’s best ever songs.
Streets Is Watching, Intro, Imaginary Player, Where I’m From, Friend or Foe 98
good album

I’ve noticed this too …
I even think the Beyonce marriage is a premeditated act rather than true love, but I ain’t hating on that tho.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Even the Nas shots are hilarious
Yo what’s the difference between a 4.0 and a 4.6?
June 10th, 2011 at 8:07 pm
BP3 is wack for real tho.
I’m sure Hov thinks so.
He was clearly riding other niggas waves, it felt like he was at a tenous part in his career.
Do they still love me? Can I still pull this off?
June 10th, 2011 at 8:08 pm
As soon as someone tells you something is perfect, subconsciously your eyes and mind begin looking for the flaws.
It’s human nature.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:09 pm
The fact that Jay-Z is so pre-meditated, so controlled that he never allows himself to be a real person in the media

I mean I could try to dig up the pure hate that you have typed about this man but it’s never been that serious… I’ll tell you what tho more times than not during lurk your talkin about how “wack” the niggas albums is or his “copying” or whatever… Come on b… I ain’t never hear you talk about Nas’ “wacknes” or stagnation or P’s… They perfect? I mean I thought songs like “Lost Ones” or “You must love me” painted good pictures of his imperfections…
I’m just sayin… We gotta do better
June 10th, 2011 at 8:10 pm
Random Axe got some ill beats.
But the verses are too simple for me.
But Casket ain’t lied, it sounds like Detroit is coming with some heat this year.
I already like Boldy (n)
And out in Cali, I’ve seen random hipster white boys and Mexicans shouting out Danny Brown (I ain’t a fan)

Apologists will try their best to convince you otherwise but that album is a low point in Jay-Z’s career.
Best Of Both Worlds was better then that shit.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
Hov is just as flawed as the rest of us.
*gulp* Even Nas tho … maybe more so, dealing with being a child prodigy / genius and alla dat
June 10th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
And im from PA and be EVERYWHERE… No one yet from outside the c section talked that shit… You know why? Cuz you CANNOT front on what this nigga be spittin… *Puts on What We Talkin Bout*
June 10th, 2011 at 8:12 pm
I think the Hov shots come from the fact he never seems to fully be himself, there’s always someone else’s wave he’s riding. And then he turns and claims to be the best when it took years of biting to get to his level.
But Jay got dope songs in the catalogue still.

I’ve shitted on Nas & P before. I’m quite sure of it.
But everyone shits on P & Nas. It’s too easy.
But let me say something about Jay-Z and all kinds of fans/stans come outta the wood work to defend the Camel’s honor.
100 on 1. Those are the kinda odds I’m used to on NahRight.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:15 pm
Niggas will listen to a album FULL of drivel (Goblin, He’s Gay) and tell me BP3 is wack… Whatevers whatev

Goblin isn’t drivel and BP3 IS wack

==========================================
There are maybe 3-4 songs on there that stand up to the rest of Jay-Z’s discog.
But to seriously listen to BP3 front to back for enjoyments sake?
Can’t do it.
To much ego stroking and holier then thou posturing for me…even for Jay-Z.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:18 pm
I just couldn’t listen to BP3 because it was wack.
It felt forced and uninspired.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
But BP3 doesn’t define Hov tho.
Nas has had subpar albums and Biggie probably would have if he had time.
Once again … we are all human.
June 10th, 2011 at 8:19 pm
how is that a shot at Nas?
^^^
“like 30 to 40 grand cocksucka beat it”
Jay’s whole existence was shots at Nas back then

>stop all ya bloodclot cryin!
it ain so much defending hov as it is reading ya rebuttals that jus come off forced.
you can have ya opinion, no doubt…
but sayin that hov isn’t a main gear in the industry machine is wyle erroneous & irrational.

——————
Lol it’s true.
I’m sure it still irks Jay-Z … the love Nas gets.
Jay-Z works and hustles his ass off, selling millions of records, ascending to critical acclaim on occasion …
But he will never get the same kind of love Nas gets which will never wane based on the impact of the classic Illmatic which didn’t even sell that well.
” One hot album every ten year average ” wasn’t a diss, it was a statement of exasperation

June 10th, 2011 at 8:24 pm
But BP3 doesn’t define Hov tho.
^^^
It doesn’t and I know he can make a better album. His post BP3 verses have proven that he’s still sharp when he wants to be.
BP3 defines Jay-Z’s mindset at the time and at the time, he was willing to completely switch it up in an attempt to sell records.
When Nas did the unexpected, it never seemed contrived or forced. He makes the moves and music he wants to make.
I always feel like Jay-Z is chasing the next big single and trying to sell x amount of records.

If hip hop really did die, Jay would switch to rock or country in a heartbeat. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t made some of the dopest hip hop ever though.
But I mean bragging about dumbing down for sales is kinda the most offensive thing a serious mc could ever say to their audience.

Nas music has an intangible greatness and his fans arguments mirror that a lot. In that they seem to have no reasoning, and be vague unsupported statements.
Jay’s greatness is based in identifiable skills (his flow, wordplay, etc.) and his fans arguments mirror that. In that they’re based on countless supporting points that lend an air of phoniness in their quantity instead of support.
It’s like magic versus mechanisms. Which do you prefer?

Like Nas’s greatness stems from something unquantifiable, as he doesn’t have the flow or wordplay to warrant an argument of his status in the game based on skill.
FOH wit that bullshit B.
Balanced Content. Thought Provoking Lyrics. Unique Concepts.
These things (along with others) are what make Nas great.
I don’t believe in Magic.

I agree Nas has all that stuff you said, and they’re among the reasons I think he’s better than Jay Z. A lot better. But I stand by the statement that he has an intangible greatness. Dude is a griot.

I will say in art there is something magical or spiritual if you will that happens in the studio.
Quincy Jones has a sign in his studio that says, ” Leave room for God ”
I think he knows a thing or two about this biz.

—————————
I see where yall are going …
I’ve said this before but the difference between Jay-Z and Nas?
Jay-Z is a hustler and Nas is a true artist.
Nas was dropping classics at 16, Jay-Z was selling drugs to his late 20s.
If Nas never sold big, he’d still be rapping.
If Jay-Z never sold big, he would still be rich. With or without rap.

Jay-Z sells ice to Eskimos.
Nas paints Rembrandts.

June 10th, 2011 at 9:14 pm

==============================
I can agree with this tho.
There’s a different intent behind the music and I think Nas’ music lends itself to a more spiritual vibe because the messages he puts out there are constructed to teach as well as entertain.
Jay’s shit has a different effect on people. It’s more about him highlighting his lyrical expertise or boasting about his lifestyle.
Jay is Self Made Vol. 1 for real for real.
But the lack of spirituality or reluctance to talk about the greater picture (or acknowledge that there are things greater then his self) is what holds me back from putting Jay-Z in the same category as Nas.
There’s a self righteousness to Jay’s music that isn’t endearing.

Debatable.
A lot of people are not enamored by Jay-Z motion-lacking, Bono-esque performance style.
In a Nas show, people are just overwhelmed by being in the presence of God Himself.
And Nas performs with A LOT more energy.

==========================================
I never believed him tho.
There’s a level of arrogance & ego to Jay-Z that won’t let him quit and he’s been accepted as the GOAT by alot of people already.
I can’t see him leaving after one album when there was so much left to be accomplished.
I don’t think Jay-Z honestly thinks there’s a better MC alive then him…still. That ego is what allowed him to run it for 7 straight summers.

I feel what you’re saying but from where he was coming from I truly believed him.
It struck me like the reason he said didn’t smoke weed at first.
In the hood pot smokers were seen as workers, niggas on the corners.
In the grand scheme of things, rappers are workers.
Moguls get the money while rappers do the work.
But you’re right I think the only thing preventing him from going that route was the ego boost of being famous and regarded as the best.

===============================
Which is why he was gonna get rid of Dame & Biggs at some point.
He’s always gone a long way to make sure he’s perceived as this awkward genius who made something out of nothing. A hustler who had the life he wanted before he ever got a record deal. The rare rapper who who writes about the life he really lives and is his own boss.
