Sorry LL. Stick to your usual records… Jay done spit that flow, not that you (or anybody in the game) can create anything that Jay hasnt done.

Man that joint is hot! I don’t see how he is trying to use Jay flow. Remember this is LL, he always had different flows. Give the man his props. Glad to see this cat opening up about his life, and not sticking to his normal formula.

LL ur a legend but u shouldnt be jacking hov’s flow, especially since you’ve been out longer then he has lol.

after songs like ‘phenomenom’, ‘paradise’, ‘touch’, ‘i need love’, and ‘control myself’ u think u can hit us with a street record?

jus drop ur album and keep it moving, i dont think the battle will help ur sales

Storm90057 Says:
October 1st, 2007 at 2:58 pm
PLEASE ASK YOURSELF THIS
why make a record thanking all the gangstas that came in your life?… street appeal

why brag about a lifestyle you didnt participate in?… he be whack and fake if he come all gangsta now

Why make another CD when your fanbase rather see you play 1 GREAT role in a movie? Its way more money in acting so why come back.. maybe its the tatoos.. i heard its hard to get rolls with all the tats

He is fighting to find his place in todays hip hop.. HE IS A LEGEND and i loved ths dude skill back in the day but he has to realize he in another era.. time to make smart business moves.. this rap shit is not forever…

This is a hot track, but what else do you expect from the G.O.A.T.? Although, I am a HUGE Hova fan, I agree with #43, since Hova isn’t flowing like this nomore, I am glad somebody is!!
young_christ Says:
October 1st, 2007 at 6:07 pm
that’s not jay-z flow. big was 1st. but LL ready. I would rather see someone really try and go at krs or rakim. its respect but everyone claimin the best & who wanna spit 4 real. these are tru legendz in the game.

October 1st, 2007 at 6:08 pm
The track is nice. ll is doing is thang you niggaz need to get off jiggaz D.I.C.K cause he’s himself a replica of b.i.g.
DA REALSPITT daBAY Says:
October 1st, 2007 at 6:22 pm
whoever believes jayz sounds like big aint no real hip hop fans. respect big and respect jay- two different legends in hophop altogether. yeah big came before jay but progression in growth is totally different. now LL on the other hand is goin backasswards. he started out hard and orginial with im bad to soft rnb shit- now to sounding like a fake ass hustla? since when did LL start talkin about gangstas and hustlers while he was growin up? i useta respect the “im bad’ LL but now but now he just sounds ridiculous. fall back bow out cool j, cuz the black album has been done already.

First Weezy dissin his ghostwriter, now LL “I need love and lip gloss, In Da House, Deep Blue Sea, Permanent hat wearing lookin ass nigga” Cool J wanna battle his ghostwriter now? SMH!

Seems like LL needs to get a refund if this is the kinda track that 50 is trying to executive produce for him. A lot of dudes are trying to pull the age card but cats like Scarface are coming with tracks like “Never”. The whole thing is who cares if LL knew all those cats the bottom line; is the track Hot or not. Thats the problem LL used to have those fire Pose tracks but the last one was called Queen’s and had Prodigy on it and not Nas, come on dude is scared to have lyrical heavyweights on the track like Nas and that’s when a dude of his status should retire. LL has a hard battle ahead cause if Dehaven and Klein’s claim’s didn’t dent Jay then whats a scared rapper that’s past his prime gonna say to Jay. If he is gonna battle Jay he need to work on his mic skills like he does his muscles cause this track ain’t promising.

“Niggaz talkin real greasy on them R&B records
but I’m platinum a million times nigga, check the credits
S. Carter, ghost writer, and for the right price
I can even make YO’ shit tighter”

Jay-Z “Ride or Die” (Track 4 on Vol. 2)

October 2nd, 2007 at 5:22 am
His voice sounds like little bow wow. And if he do go at Jay he s relly dissing for a stupid reason. Cause your album ain’t sell, come on man. If this one don’t sell lets see if he blames 50 cent.
Marq Says:
October 2nd, 2007 at 5:31 am
@#58

That was the Jay-z of old. He would go at ANY nigga who came at him side ways back then. WE need to get T-shirts saying

” Bring The Old Jay-z Back”…lol

Thanks for that flashback.

LL Cool J ’s (né James Todd Smith) beef with his label, Def Jam, continues, but the rapper may be open to peace talks. “We need to meet and figure it out,” he said. “It’s tough. Let’s be real. You know, they have an artist”—Jay-Z—“running a label full of artists. Okay? That’s like Calvin Klein running a fashion label and Varvatos and everyone else is underneath him. What kind of sense does that make? This hierarchy? It doesn’t work for me.” So he’s plowing ahead with his Todd Smith clothing line, checking out the Baby Phat, Varvatos, and perhaps Marc Jacobs shows to get inspiration, and working on his new album, Exit 13: The Icon Versus the Wolf Pack, in which he’ll battle teenage rappers. “I’m going to approach [the meeting with Jay-Z] from a positive, optimistic viewpoint. Hopefully it will work.”

I’ve heard this flow from LL before, but never heard him talkin’ about shit like this. Just curious, I’ve heard of Rich Porter, AZ and Alpo, but how the fuck LL know them niggas livin’ way the fuck over in Queens?
dolo Says:
October 2nd, 2007 at 12:58 pm
because ll was a rapper back then.. do u think he just stayed in queens all day .. he was nationally knw. he knw people all over… idiot
iLLahnoize Says:
October 2nd, 2007 at 3:24 pm
LL been rappin since 84. To me he jus slowed down his flow a lil.

October 2nd, 2007 at 5:47 pm
Fuck jackin jay’s flow!!! My beat got jacked.. I made that beat in 2006 and its been on soundclick ever since…Guess he got the money to pay for the sample. unlike my broke ass….lol
killahsham Says:
October 2nd, 2007 at 11:13 pm
That shit was wack. Not only did he try to jack Jay’s concept, but he did it poorly. Like he’s commenting on these cats shining, but its like the outsiders view. Like he was saying how AZ and Alpo showed him stacks, but thank God that ol’ boy got knocked cuz who knows where I woulda been. Cat is always trying to dickride whats hot at the time and he comes off lame. He needs to hang it up, retire a legend and worry about that acting grind. Botox boy better chill, he’s giving Hov too much ammo… Its gonna be ugly for him.
??????? Says:
October 3rd, 2007 at 7:35 am
#65 you right I’m buggin the fuck out. Forgot how long that nigga LL been out.. For some reason, I though he was talkin about when he was a kid and shit, but he was rappin before them niggas was even large..
Avery Says:
October 4th, 2007 at 3:05 pm
LL can rap anyway he wants. LL been rappin like this b4 it is just u cats do not listen to the man. Yall either watchin his body or lips. LL will beat jay’s booty. LOL!! I listened toll in the underground too and ll beat him b4 at the lounge in NY. LLbeat 20 emcees and jay z and jaz o. I hering that dame and a few of Jay’s cats sayin jay won but i was there too .LL went spanish on em.
2cents Says:
October 4th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
lmao… it’s really some young folks round here. LL flow ain’t really change from day one… this song sounds like a track off the G.O.A.T album.

Y’all kids might be past redemption!

Avery and a few others are either my peers in age older or they deserve serious kudos for getting some real (more than one source) information about what they choose to comment on.

LL been in the Game since he was like 15, If you don’t think he new and associated with all the biggest of the big in any arena you’re jus kidding yourself.

Sorry kiddies but Jay really used a lot of other peoples lives to create the image he has today! Which is genius in the same way it was genius for 50 to create several “beefs”… it really only serves one person.
2cents Says:
October 5th, 2007 at 12:18 am
It’s funny seeing who you kids think jacked what, vs how you defend jay-z obvious jacking.

But is it better to jack from someone under the radar? H to the izzo.. fa shizzle my nizzle… CAN’T SAY I HEARD THAT ON TH EEAST COAST PRIOR TO SNOOP!

Beyond that listen to the lyrics… But I guess If NAS ain’t body dude with ether LL has no chance cause after Ether all his fan’s who aren’t emotionally invested BAILED. NAS killed in and killed him in the name of love…lmao!
amenrah Says:
October 10th, 2007 at 6:23 am
All ya’ll niggas saying he sound like Hov and he’s jacking Hov’s flow. Do ya’ll niggas know anything bout ya history? LL came out with that flow back in the 80’s….WAY before Jay did. He’s been in the game 20+ years and still manages to bring the fire when he needs to. He’s better than most of the cats that r trying to rap right now anyway. Only reason ya’ll niggas hating cause u scared to like LL cause the bitches love him. Man up, son. Before ya’ll say he’s stealing a flow or trying to sound like someone else, get ya fucking facts straight. Respect the game, know ya hip hop history.
