If You Every At A Time Wanted To Hate On Jay-Z
Let Today Not Be The Day
You Can Only Admire & Amaze At This

SmartN' Up
so my girl run in the living room last night tell me put it on abc Hov is on… i flip out cuz im like this dude is performing for the President of the United States at the Inaguration…like Jigga my fav rapper, the same cat that said “and i come wit dur-rags to yo so called awards, t-shirt wit my chain out , like f^ck yall all”…man hip-hop we came along way!!! History has been on repeat for me since the first time i heard it and it was only right for him to perform that he couldnt have did anything else out his catalog to fit the occasion so perfectly!!
Side bar…Jay was messing up at the beginning he forgot the lines i think erybody was so nervous yesterday including Obama lol its all good tho
01.21.09 at 10:42 am
ClueLess But Certain
i liked this performance.

He fucked up on some of the words. He wasn’t clear or confident I feel he could have done better and this song is one of the greatest it touches my soul I loved it when all of you coons said it wasnt hott. Big up to the band wagon jumpers.
01.21.09 at 10:47 am
Alfred Shitcock
Cosign number 10 the same exact feeling although I got alil mad when he was messing up the song means so much to me. I almost fucking cried when I heard it the first time real talk. Thats why my girl was calling me like hurry up quick. LOL
01.21.09 at 10:51 am
Alfred Shitcock
Tupac>Jayz>Biggie cause Tupac stood for something and had more passion in his rhymes
However Lyrically and Flow wise Hov is out of this world and I do believe is was always light years ahead of biggie. He is the best rapper alive. Dont ever doubt that. Let the media and the teenie boppers tell you wayne is all you want.
01.21.09 at 10:51 am
fresco kid
dope performance, hov’s outift is dope, he looks like the hip hop malcolm x up there
01.21.09 at 11:02 am

nah he aint fuck up, he was jus ad libn’ sum words here in there..not sure if it was a curse or he jus didnt wanna use certain language there so he kept it clean thou..it was alil funny thou “lighters up” even thou thats how song is..peoeple were using there cell phones too,lol… I know ya’ll seen when showed the crowd& he had EVERYBODY w/there hands waving…….no body fuckin wit Hov..”only 2 restin’ in heaven can be mention in the same breath as him….”
01.21.09 at 3:16 pm
me ok
great performance, but he still not the greatest. Still not even the greatest from Brooklyn, that BIGGIE 4EVER, if big handnt died, jay wouldnt be a big as he is. Lyrically Nas is better, jay may have slight edge in flow, but nas tackles bigger subject matters, which makes him better overall. But jay is top 4 all time(big, nas, rakim, jay)
01.21.09 at 3:28 pm
dmassaca
i wish people stop saying if he didnt die this or that “THE NIGGA IS DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!” I dont like the fact but dam he’s gone..all this wuda ,cuda,shuda,pleaseee.. & no overall as a complete Mc or Rapper Nas isnt better son, yeah.. he takes on larger topic(if u really think so) ..so Jay dont tackle different or variety of subject matters??(7 if he dont spit about it,he handles it thru charity work etc…) If u say no ,then I know u dont listen to music u just skim thru it.. Rakim is nice n all but he aint relevant now,,,KRs is more relevant now & has always been. I fucks w/Nas but he contradicts himself toooo much& sometimes his flows&lyrics are just plain boring… NOTE;mC MEANS moved the crowd son!!!!!
01.21.09 at 3:46 pm
Mi Mi
The Greatest!!!!!!!!!
01.21.09 at 4:20 pm
Holla
@me ok
The best that could’ve happen to Biggies legacy was that he died. He is considered such a big star today because of his death. Had Biggie been alive today he’d be one of those “old” rappers that used to be the shit back in the 90 but that should hang up the mic.
01.21.09 at 5:48 pm
Joe
Remember that list of top 10 Rappers…i think its starts from number 2 coz this guy is UNDISPUTED..believe me i hate this guy as much as those that hate G-UNIT/FIDDY but i realised its because he is just so good at what he does..i’ve listened 2 him d last few weeks and NAS OR EM come 2nd..all HAIL “SEAN CARTER”
Otherwise imma stick 2 the General..50 CENT as my fav…but this guy JAY-Z is Untouchable…its not like wayne who i feel doesnt even make d list..i would put Prodigy over Wayne
01.21.09 at 6:01 pm

ALFRED SHITCOCK.
my nigga, you’re list is ON POINT. for real. your explaination was real. Thats EXACTLY how i feel. because i think this Hov nigga is so good, and i felt that way in 1997, i felt GUILTY for liking him more than Pac, especially after his passing. But it doesnt take much to look into Pacs catalogue and come across some understandable smooth (shout out to Rassy Kassy).
But in all reality, Pac is #1, but Shawn Corey Carter is the best to EVER DO IT.
Sorry BIG, you can have slot 3,4,5 & 6, no disrespect.
01.21.09 at 6:36 pm
Big J
There come a time when u let people work speak for it self… yes big n pac was the hottest before they died but jay have to be the greatest cause his catalouge speaks for it self in if thats not good enough kool g rap said so lol
01.21.09 at 6:52 pm

who said 40yr old rappers are cool?

01.21.09 at 7:42 pm
Hi Hater!
So much SWAG!!!!!!!! DAMNNNN
JAY is one of the GOATs REAL TALK!!!!!!!!
01.21.09 at 8:09 pm
p
i dont think he messed up. The part where he started to go into his whisper is when there was a curse word.
01.21.09 at 9:04 pm
Best Part of the interview I think he wrote it for some of u guys
Yo will you ignorant niggas please understand it was a presidential BALL NOT THE ALL STAR GAME… u cant go perform wit saggy jeanes and shit u gotta have a fresh look ..
stop being so stupid…

This is nonsense…Realtalk you can’t pick and choose what’s perfrect for the occasion…My President is black is just as momentous for the occasion as is this song, along with Black President and Freedom by Akon…just because that is more commercialized and more urban doesn’t deter its message one bit…You love to belittle certain things that don’t fit your mold a lot Nigel…not a good look…My President is Black is more fittin for most ppl than this because most ppl will listen to that and get the same message as the small crowd who will listen to this (and its a small crowd because its not on TV) so stop being nitpicky…if a message is delivered then it is delivered…regardless of the format or language…that’s like sayin’ MLK was a better or more prominent figure than Malcolm…although I favor MLK I still don’t think he was more important and you should have the same approach.

Needs a cut badly though….

HOV is so wack. you must let him go. the song is great for the occasion but dude is over. his money is definitely in the now though…lol…but not the man
01.22.09 at 5:21 pm
me ok
hay #23, i see u just like Jay, u deal with emotions like bitches, u a dick riding fagot, u love the attention. He served ya boy a L. he not as commercial as Jay, but his catalog is better(illmatic-no hip hop album since its release has been better or critically acclaimed as that, not no reasonable doubt, not blueprint, not nothing… it was written, lost tapes, stillmatic, untitled all classic shit) Rakim changed rap, he was the first true MC , first true lyricist with complex rhymes, how is that not relevant, do your history, dont just skim threw it
