Read Between The Lines: Swagga Like Puff Throwing Jabs @ Jay-Z

I noticed some interesting lines in Diddy’s, “Swagga Like Puff,” that can be interpreted as a jab. Hip Hop is full of egos and subliminal lines, so are these lines just coincidental or a light jab to Jay-Z?


















September 20th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I Really, Never Listened That Hard, But Now That You Pointed it Out .That “I’m One Who Made it Cool To Start Datin R&B Chicks” ..Kinda Seem Like Uh Jab.
September 20th, 2008 at 1:06 pm
DEF TAKIN SHOTS @ HOV & JABS @ THE REST OF THEM!!!! THIS IS THE BEGINING OF HIS PROMO FOR HIS NEXT ALBUM!!!! HE’S PUFF AGAIN AND TRYIN TO GO HARD!!!! IF THERE IS ANYTHING HIP-HOP HAS LEARNED IS IF YOU TAKE SHOTS @ HOV YOU WILL GET INSTANT PROMO!!!!! JUST LOOK @ GAME & HOW MUCH SHIT HE WAS TAKIN ABOUT DUDE BEFORE HIS ALBUM DROPPED!!!! NOT TO SAY PUFF GOT ANY REAL BEEF WITH HOV!!!! ITS JUST BUSINESS!!!!!

You niggaz is REACHIN OUT HARD
September 20th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
Its not like puff actually wrote it anyway, his ghostwriter may have been takin mild shots at jay, puff just aint realize it.
September 20th, 2008 at 1:53 pm
LOL. Nelly had to tell JD the funniest joke of ALL-TIME the way dat nigga lookin.
Puff ain’t dissin.
But all yall true Jay fans out there should remember when Jay-Z WAS dissin Puff. It was the S.Carter mixtape. He freestyled on that B2k beat.
And that Flavor in Ya Ear. (Lazer in ya ear)
These are obvious disses.
September 20th, 2008 at 2:07 pm
this is a huge reach.
September 20th, 2008 at 2:17 pm
ima put to you this way if you got guns goin off in ya song and sayin these are warning shots duck down bitches you are takin shots and talkin to someone! its not a reach its what the man said… now who is he talkin to that has a r&b chick, lives in a building that can be crushed and has not been able to have kids with his r&b chick! this is not a reach! maybe he talkin to you!
September 20th, 2008 at 2:29 pm
He might be going at Jay. Either way they are friends and these are light disses. Jay has thrown a couple jabs toward Puffy in the past — non issue.
September 20th, 2008 at 2:30 pm
I don’t think it’s a shot at Jay, and if it is?..who cares?
September 20th, 2008 at 2:35 pm
@bkbrawler is that you nigel??? Lol
its nick cannon then, he lives in an apartment with his rnb chick and they have no children… puff is hurt that he hasnt been invited on wild and out lol bkbrawler i think its time for ur medicine again buhahaha
September 20th, 2008 at 2:46 pm
even if it was shots he dont even write em
so its a non issue
regardless beefing with jay has become so lame its ridiculous
September 20th, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Diddy wouldent have the balls to go at Jay-Z if hes life depended on it.
September 20th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Not going at Jay……..didnt Puffy produce a lot of American Gangsta for jay? He’s also gone out and said Jay is the best rapper alive……..They both say they are friends and have friendly competion………Thats about it……
September 20th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
what the fukk is a couth…its coupe my nig
September 20th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Jay wrote it for Puff
September 20th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
Yo veracious you takin this personal son!!! you dont want to fuck with me!!! but since you talkin!!! let me make 2 more points 1. nick cannon wasnt on the swagga like us song son!!! 2. puff said this is big dick talk so if you dont hav one obviously it would be hard for you yo understand the language he’s speaking! STUPID!!! DONT EVER ADDRESS ME ME SON UNLESS YOU CO-SIGNIN!
September 20th, 2008 at 3:31 pm
Jay wrote that shit for reaal..!!
No diss…P’s new album might be dope.
Callin all ghostwriters..!! Pharoah Monch where are you…Diddy needs you.

Puff Got The Right To Spit Facts..Jay-Z Does It All The Time Why Cant Puff..Puff Is The Inventor Of Balling On Records Anyway..He Skooled Jay-Z Early So He Knows The Facts Himself..This Track Was Just Real Talk..It Wasnt Nothing Great Tho..Cuz Of The Box He Used..
September 20th, 2008 at 4:54 pm

NOW YALL NO THAT TIME SHUG WAS TALKING RECKLESS AT THE BET AWARDS ONE THING THAT HE SAID THAT WAS SO TRUE WAS THAT DIDDY TAKES THE SPOT LIGHT FROM HIS ARTIST BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SHINE. SO DIDDY GET YOUR OWN SHIT & STOP JOCKIN MINES(
September 20th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
JAY Z THE BOMB ITS ALL ABOT HOVER
September 20th, 2008 at 9:34 pm
Stop it was talking about 50 Cent..not Jay-Z come on dont be stupid….
September 20th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
Seems like a jab to me, maybe he’s mad that people gravitate to Jay more than they do him despite the fact he sort of did it first.
September 20th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
^ Because Jay’s got the hottest chick in the game, lol.
September 20th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Fuck difference does it make, Puff aint write it…
September 21st, 2008 at 12:24 am
diddy is too dumb to write a subliminal.
September 21st, 2008 at 1:08 am
both these dudes got the same thing going
when it comes to LIQS, puff got Ciroc jay got ace of spades
when it comes to advertising company puff got blue flame jayz gotTranslation Advertising
both date R&B chics puff cassie jay beyonce
both got record labels
both got boats
but PUFF got a store on 5th Ave
September 21st, 2008 at 9:13 am
Puff is trash only them 40 year olds on the block be talkin to me about Puff
September 21st, 2008 at 10:19 am
Booo - Thats a reeeaaaaaaccccch (rev run voice)
I can’t even be bothered to get into it to tough but realtalk your searching for drama.
He jus produced a gang of tracks for American Gangster etc…So what, now they got beef. loooool
September 21st, 2008 at 10:45 am
this is where we start to separate the nigga who really listen
and the niggas who just skim thru it
“you can learn alot by jackin jackin my style
jackin jackin my style
you been jackin for a while”
thats not from jockin jayz, thats from jay verse “checkin checkin my fresh, checkin checkin my fresh”
and its not a shot, its checkin his fresh, jackin his style, showing who verse was worth immitation
#2 “i made dating r&b chicks cool
i aint got no COUP, i aint got no ROOF
first off what r&b chick did puff date? j.lo was more of an actress really b4 r&b star,
second off jayz line that you qouted goes
“brand new convertibles, i’m so ROOFLESS”
and that was like 3 or 4 yrs ago, why would puff reference that line from kingdom come???
when niggas is really sending shots, nobody dont be sayin shit. if he did it would be friendly competition not real rap beef
September 21st, 2008 at 1:43 pm
stop instigatin!
September 21st, 2008 at 6:09 pm
AND BKBRAWLER YOU ARE JUST TOO IGNORANT T SPELL BREAK(BRAKE, THE FUCK?SMH) CORRECTLY. RETARTED ASS OLDHEADS I SWEAR.
September 21st, 2008 at 6:10 pm
TO*
September 21st, 2008 at 11:43 pm
Hov Jab Kanye on the song. Diddy didnt make dating RnB bitches cool, he simped on his. Aint nothin cool about that. And Hov and Diddy should be fine after the American Gangsta album.
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:25 am
Not only is it reaching but even if he was it ain’t like he’s lyin’…the dude set the trends for all these dudes…and trust me if Diddy wanted Bee it wouldn’t have been a problem…this dude has smashed everyone we know, with no qualms about it so act like you know. And him and Jay cool so stop tryna stir shit up
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:47 am
You reaching duke. Those ain’t jabs… ’sides, Diddy & Jay are both bosses, bosses at that level don’t throw jabs, they do business.
September 22nd, 2008 at 9:39 am
That joint was so wack that I couldn’t read between nothin.
nice jeep though.
September 22nd, 2008 at 12:42 pm
HAHAHAHA anyone laugh the whole time they watch that shit, shit stank more than the shit be stepped on in the streets, stop trying to spit, i feel sorry for your ghostwriter
September 22nd, 2008 at 1:08 pm
How can Puff take jabs at Jay. That ish don’t even out lyrically. If you ask me he’s just talking ish like most rappers do.
September 23rd, 2008 at 4:28 am
Here is were sensitive thugs unite…lmao!
lmmfao @ not one but 2 people not knowin what thinkin couth is coupe and its actually spelled out in front of you… hint check merriam webster.com don’t be ashamed to know how to speak and spell!!!
September 25th, 2008 at 10:23 am
more jabs from puff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH5if1SfjfU
October 4th, 2008 at 9:51 pm
First off he is dissin Jay, he said the shit dat was pointed out but also, the whole I never do what you do, and then pullin up his Ciroc vodka bottle. Jay is the only one with his own liquor on the original song. Jay is also the only artist from the original song with a R&B chick even doe T.I. with Tiny from Total(former Bad Boy artist). Then screamin over the part Bad Boy, nobody else on the song has/had a good label except Jay-Z and T.I. if u think Grand Hustle nice. Anyway after lookin at the video and listenin to the song, I think he did diss Jay and Wayne…
