Whats Good ya. Man this is real talk. I dont even know if i wanna cop the new hov, beans, free, or styles shyt, real talk. Fa real, artists need to go bak to the true essence of hip hop i mean dont get me wrong all the dudes i named r nice as hell, but when u drop a rapper lik joe buddens and sign Uncle Murder hip hop is dead, dont get me wrong i love brooklyn i live there and i was raised there Bushwick stand up But a spade is a spade. Example, Fabo had some hot ass tracks on his album and his second single is “baby dont go” come on Gangstas dont play was real, so was im da man and artist or droppin these track to attract who? Females are worried about how many years T.I.’s gonna get, Whats next on Keisha coles new show, or trynna perfect the superman dance, real talk. Tell you the truth (please comment if im wrong) hip hop needs to look at its past Warning, juicy, keep ur head up,i Aint mad at cha, all that i got is u, song cry, if i ruled the world, ruff ryder’s anthem, i could keep going on and on. These songs helped make all these legends who we speak about now. And none of these songs spoke about shaking booty or wifing a chick, come on ya help bring hip hop back.

what jigga say, ” if u don’t like me u can kiss my whole asshole.”

these hataz gon hate. neva participate. always willing 2 take. congradulate if u c a playa doin it great….

a lot of ppl relate 2 s dot carter bcuz he speaks on real shit & events that’s are current or give a lil bit of the emcee in him & tell us a story. that’s why so many love jayz 4 wateva he does cuz he is hiphop. whether u believe it or not. he is the top dog & everyone wants the crown cuz he aint roc’n da crown in the manner of tru legends that can still spit a sick 16.

“REAL HIP HOP ISN’T DEAD ITS BEEN ON VACATION.” ¡!¡statis quo!¡!

#4 when public Enemy dropped there were people like you saying take it back to sugar hill, kool moe D, and utfo days.. hip hop changes all the time.. it went from the party and fun rhyming era to the b-boy breakdance era to the black power era to the gangsat rap era to the bling era and so on… hip hop has always been here.. it never left you just have to keep up..

Jay Z is mor than a rapper this dude is a icon..

2Cents, I agree. I appreciate opposing views…but to answer your question…It becomes hate when someone says they don’t like the record and in the same breath say “fuck that old cat” This person had hate before even listening

i dont think he has enough stans to make this album go platinum the first week, though hip hop fans decide when a album is great or classic white people are the ones that actually buy the shit crazy and from they dont really look that they feeling and this is a new york crowd sprinkled with tourists here and there, this looks like a flop, this shit was looking like a gimmick from the get go, and his interviews just validfy the fact that he’s just trying to pass some record he has set in his mind(beatles,elvis,the stones) he don’t care about making good music and people realize that, hustle the game not ur people camel, what a disgrace and for those stans do ur research, he’s trying to outsell kanye and others with this trash its not about making quality just seeing the quantity.

look at all these jigga dick riders i dont understand wat so special about this song its really boring like honestly listen to the content too like this song doesnt move me at all he should have put out dead presidents 3 but thats just my opinion
Cash Williams Says:
November 3rd, 2007 at 8:24 am
haha i kno rappers hate performing on the late shows
the crowds are so confused.
most of them probably dont kno jigga has a bigger bankroll then most of dem put together.
T2 Says:
November 3rd, 2007 at 8:26 am
Fuck the sales the album is dope it aint a pop album like Curtis and Graduation so it won’t do mad numbers cus the white people can’t relate.

This album is for the Jigga fans only if you ain’t a Jigga fan you ain’t gonna like the album simple as that.
TrueTalk Says:
November 3rd, 2007 at 9:01 am
Notice how Dave Letterman tried to gauge his intelligence by throwing some lame comments but Jigga man simply kept it cool and responded accordingly… Also Dave refused to mention the actual title of the song Jay-Z was performing. White America has yet to embrace African Americans, not a hiphop thing because if it were Eminem they wouldnt care if he performed “Kill ya children” they’d find a way to downplay it and link it to artistic genuis… Ok, I’m getting way off subject but all my intelligent heads know what I’m talking bout…
BK's Finest Says:
November 3rd, 2007 at 9:02 am
Real Talk. Why do people still try to play this nigga. No matter wat u say. He got more cake, got a bad chick, runs Rocafella records. And made hard albums every year since 96 he can’t be stopped and won’t be stopped. Even if he Flops he will come back harder. Ther is no stopping Jay-Z

I LOVE this dude…NO ONE can touch his genius, swag, and delivery…The GREATEST…

…On top of that he was blessed a lucky lefty, saggitarian, like myself…a phenomenon…a 7 percenter…Gotta love it…Science still hasn’t fully figured us out…I know Hov’s IQ HAS to be off the charts…

I wish Jay would teach Beyonce how to interview like he does and alwayz has instead of acting all “delayed” lol. I feel like hee reps black people well because he is fairly articulate and stays away from senseless trouble. She on the other hand left much to be desired mentally to say the least lol!!!!! But I’m sure the men don’t mind. Even better to them probably lol.

@ #4 “Baby Don’t Go” is Fabs THIRD single off this album. “Make Me Better” was 2nd and “Diamonds” was his 1st single all they all wheathered pretty well chartwise AND streetwise.

With that said, this is my first Fab album and I LOVE IT!!! I think he should be platinum off of this album by now but I think he is only at 500 or 750 right now?!!! Beats me? He’s one of the only artists I still like now that he stopped spelling his name in every damn song lol!!!

@ #13 (Doug fresh) I hear you… I can’t say that’s the same though. There’s are crabs haters out there. But people jus like to call anyone who has a different perspective a hater, and thats what I’m not grasping (well I am but it hurts to know we been broke down this far)

@ #16 (ENY) I got a new quote… THANKS “hustle the game not ur people”

@ #18 Doug… people don’t get it!
***off subject where did the term ring tone rapper come from… thats some bullsh!T cause all rappers had some kinda ring tone sales. ring tones are like singles nowadays its jus a different form of the game. Back in the days they were simply called one hit wonders.

@ #21 (Cash Williams) lmao…and the bank roll ain’t make the beats hot enough or the lyrics flow sick enough. I guess Rupert Murdoch is killin the rap game then if money is what it is…lol!

If you from New York and you proud (especially my Brooklyn family) when you post your comments just put NEW YORK STAND UP! In your blog. Jay Z by himself can take on the whole hip hop game. You realize that no one talkin about Soulja Boy, Jeezy, Kanye or any of the other big names in hip hop right now. Jay is the king of New York, Jersey, and hip hop. Aint no one fuckin with him now. And he bringin the classic material out to back it up. By the way KD was hot. Ya’ll just need to open your mind up more. I listened to it yesterday and realized it aint half bad like I thought it was. My favs are Kingdom Come, Show Me What You Got, I Made It, 30 somethin and Hollywood. All should have been singles in my opinion. But yeah. New York aint fell off and Jay Z is proof. Nas about to come with some fire, Wu Tang comin with fire and it’s beautiful right now.
