July 20th, 2009 at 5:27 pm
Old azz Jigga!!!!
July 20th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
^^@ ranni “this aint for itunes” street single “we dont believe u u need more people” lol… Jay talks about not tryin to relate to 15 year olds yet hes the first to want to get whoevers hot on his album… At the time when blueprint 2 dropped sean paul was hot.. Then on american gangster he does hello brooklyn with lil wayne?? (come on jay atleast get a brooklyn native for a track like that).. And now hes goin to put drake on ahead of his own artist j.cole?? Jay get your mind right…
July 20th, 2009 at 5:39 pm
OLD HEAD GO TO BED. GAY ROCK GO EAT SUM COCK
July 20th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
how do we know wats goin on behind da scenes? and wat does dat I tunes quote from doa gotta do wit drake bein on da album?
July 20th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
thats wassup .. can’t wait till friday ..
July 20th, 2009 at 5:57 pm
u said it didnt flop because its a “street single”.. Jay said D.O.A. was a street single and “its not for itunes” but he puts it on itunes.. thats called a CONtradiction…
Jay says hes not about tryin to relate to 15year olds but hes doin tracks with rhianna and drake?? Their demographic fan base our 15year olds and under.. CONtradiction…
I just want to hear jay make great hiphop not this cross over middle of the road music..
July 20th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
u don’t heard the album already cuz…
because the album ain’t even on London to the last cut and pressed on cd.
so don’t say bullshit. that will be a dope album for sure, but of course, it’s jigga
So the song “Off that” ft drake ain’t the first single. but let we see this new one !!!
July 20th, 2009 at 6:09 pm
Ok fine… techniqually its not. But it has a street single feel! Kinda like a Jockin Jay Z or a Brooklyn Go Hard. And WHY WOULDNT HE DO TRACK WITH DRAKE AND RHI RHI! Dats liek sayin… Oh I dont want to work with my son or younger brother cuz Im not tryin to relate to the younger generation. Get outta here man. Its not that serious. Its music. Listen to the content. Not the people he has on the freakin track. Damn!
July 20th, 2009 at 6:11 pm
And if u would just open your ears and mind and stop tryin to compare the 2009 Jay Z to the 2003 Jay Z or the 96 Jay Z you will see that he’s still makin good music.
July 20th, 2009 at 6:14 pm
@ veraci0us & ranni
have yall ever thought that he might really like Drake and thats why he has Drake on is album. I dont think that Jay Z has to get any artist on his album to create a buzz (maybe they do), he has always worked with ppl he respects on a music level. And besides it would benefit Drake more than it would benefit J, hint Rihanna Grammy—Umbrella! And that’s what ppl do anyway get artist thats hot and colab to make a hot track; 2 hot artist on 1 track makes a better song & thats what i want to hear. And he put it on itunes so he can make money on it & to market his music– its still a business lets not forget that!
July 20th, 2009 at 6:15 pm
Jay-z Stans are angry today lol, Ranni why u mad?
July 20th, 2009 at 6:17 pm
my bag ranni that wasnt for u! but dont let these haters get away with this b.s.!
July 20th, 2009 at 6:20 pm
@tarheel, its obvious jay-z needs buzz, he rides on whoevers hot, why u think he so close to wayne? and i gonna take nothing away from jay-z cuz he smart, he know he better stick close to wayne or he gonna lose all fan support thats why he didn’t wanna battle him, he know he better put drake on the album cuz hes hot right now for some of that buzz can rub on jay, face it he loves the attention, watch i bet wayne gonna be on BP3 aswell, he dont wanna put nobody on but he stay close as fuck to anybody thats hot, this is why he gotta put rihanna and kanye on a single i bet its gonna be a anthem type song, he does this move for he can finally get a hit, American gangster had no hits so know he lookin to grab features. doa movement was a failure plus it didn;t even make sense to start doa since he was on autotune himself his music is mediocre
July 20th, 2009 at 6:27 pm
@ G Roc
Its just a shame that people dont appreciate greatness while they are here! Look at MJ. Since he died Ive been thinking why cant people just appreciate the music of todays musicans. Its always gotta go futher than that. Im not sayin that Jay Z is dying or anything like that. LOL. Its just Jigga is doin his thing and instead of celebrating his revelence we always gotta talk shit about him and we dont even know him like that. Callin him old like he’s the oldest guy that raps. Makin fun of his lips. Always bringing up the Nas thing (which I still loved the battle up to this day but it seems like people always wanna discreditch Hovs accomplishments cuz of that beef). I just think the hate needs to stop. Its one thing to voice your opinion about his music but its another thing to be disrespectful and full of nonsense. Thats just how I feel today. Lookin at this shit with The Game is another thing that Im not even gettin into. BUT PLEASE FOR A CHANGE CAN YALL JUST STOP HATING ON THESE RAPPERS AND ENJOY THEM WHILE WE STILL HAVE THEM! One love yall.
July 20th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
“he loves the attention” lol, well duh!! he is an entertainer, what now? you mad cuz he try to make hits??? LMAO
Much Success to Jay
All you dummies, quit that, old ass jigga shit, shit aint funny
You all should have a personal stake in his success, cuz nobody ever did it like Jay, and the more success he gets, the more respect you show him for his achievements with each passing year, the more YOU can aspire that you can do it too.
As for the Game, and all his fans screaming, “old ass jigga”, , when you that age, i hope ppl spit in your face and kick you when you down
July 20th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
I’d rather hear a track with Drake than “Kanye Autotune West” and Rihanna
July 20th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
And of course Jay Z needs buzz! WHENEVER YOU PUT OUT AN ALBUM YOU NEED SOME TYPE OF BUZZ! Theres different levels of buzz! American Gangsters buzz wans the same as this buzz for this album is I’ll admit that. He didnt have a “hit” from that album but he still went 2 x platinum. How many rappers can you say does that nowdays? I bet its in the single digits. I’ll wait… But anyway, Jay sees Drake is hot so why is it a sin to put him on. Its gonna benefit him more than Jay. Cuz Jay will sel regardless. Its just that Jay wants this to be huge! Its vintage Hov! This shouldnt be anything strange. Cuz older rappers get young, hot rappers on they album all the time but because its Jay Z its an issue. Cuz he just… “Successful”. Yeah I took it there LOL
July 20th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Tarheel24 “Have yall ever thought that maybe he likes drake and thats why he has drake on his album” j.cole was the first artist jay signed to roc nation, do u think he would of signed cole if he didnt like him?? ? The difference is that drake has a buzz and a mainstream appeal… Thats fucd up.. Its would be like kanyes 808s album not featurin cudi but instead a j.cole or wale.
Jayz feat the roots.. Jayz feat talib kweli.. Now that would be jay sendin out a statement on bp3.. But no jay has to be a sheep and comform to featurin the same artist that feature on everyones elses albums..
July 20th, 2009 at 6:56 pm
and just to clarify im not a jay hater i have all hes albums but im disappointed with the features im seein on bp3 so far.
July 20th, 2009 at 7:02 pm
Drake is considered by many(??) to be one of the best of the new crop of MCs.
Jay just wants to do a song with him so he can show these kids that no matter how old he is, he´ll still kill
July 20th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
Yo Jay Z, do a song with Nipsey Hussle, man……….you can call it, Gangsta Party pt 2
July 20th, 2009 at 7:20 pm
The industry (radio/internet) will ride the hell out of this single….and the single will probably be mediocre at best! The industry did the same thing with DOA…the radio and internet acted like Jay crushed the industry with DOA…but the buzz quickly died and the majority thought Jay was whack for it! Of course he will have Rihanna, Kanye or Drake on his first single because they have a buzz: Rihanna for her situation with Chris…her fans will anticipate a song from her…Drake is the new face in the industry with a crazy buzz right now….so of course jay will jock the opportunity to have Drake as a feature and Kanye because he is still popular to the masses! So…if anyone is looking forward to this album being an age appropriate album…DON’T HOLD YOUR BREATH! Jay may not be able to relate to 15 year olds…but that is who he markets his music for….Jay has dumb down his music for too long!!!!
July 20th, 2009 at 7:24 pm
I heard MR. HUDSON will be on BP3 as well…SMDH!!!! Jay is too funny! This album will be pop all the way!!!
July 20th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
love hov’s music but kanye…drake…rihanna………..sounds like a pop machine…..bp3 made by jay-z the hustler not jay-z the artist
July 20th, 2009 at 8:24 pm
@ g roc
why do u say he’s following wayne when had him featured on carter3 and has been on Jay dick forever. And Jay gave Wayne a entire verse on T.I. album so what are you talkin bout.
@ veraci0us what does JCole have to do with him liking Drake as an artist? Nothing now none of us know what he has in store for his new artist J. Cole; and how the hell do u say “he dont wanna put nobody on” thats got to be the joke of the day. I mean lets start with the entire Rocafella (state Property); then lets go to def jam ppl like Rihanna, Dream, Rick Ross etc… None of that Rocafella shit wouldnt have been possible w/o Jay. Im not sayin he’s perfect but come on with these silly complaints and jabs, lets jus appreciate the man for the things he does b/c NOBODY has done like he has PERIOD! U got to acknowledge that as a fact, if you disagree pls name somebody whos done better for this long
pound for pound I’m the best to ever come around here
Excluding nobody
Look what I embody
The soul of a hustler I really ran the street
A CEO’s mind
That marketing plan was me
And no I ain’t get shot up a whole bunch of times
Or make up shit in a whole bunch of lines
And I ain’t animated, like say a, Busta Rhymes
But the real shit you get when you bust down my lines
Add that to the fact I went plat a bunch of times
Times that by my influence on pop culutre
I supposed to be number one on everybodys list
We’ll see what happens when I no longer exist
Fuck this
July 20th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
@ come on
tell me a dumb down verse from Jay. All u have to do is google the song & the lyrics copy & paste it, b/c I want to kno what ur talkin bout
July 20th, 2009 at 10:00 pm
game prob furious that he hasnt been addressed yet
July 21st, 2009 at 1:17 am
Jayz might actually like drake and if he’s the next big money making opputunity and ppl actually think he’s nice wouldn’t it make sense for jay to feat him to show the world that whoever is on top still can’t fuck wit him
Why wouldn’t he have kanye on? Kanye rappin is what I want to hear. I don’t wanna hear jayz and the roots or jayz and talib this ain’t a mixtape they sell records to make money. When the roots or talib or mos or dead prez they can call hov and he comes thru. This is the blueprint 3 showing the industry how to do this shit. Last I checked Doa was being played everywhere radio and tv and it’s not even that hard it’s just powerful and it said how we all feel we all tired of autotune we all want the skinny jeans fad to fall back. And if he made a aututune song and scratched it cuz too many talentless hacks were abusing it isn’t that a smart move
Roc boys and I’m gettin it was a smash last yr
He obviously likes jay cole that’s why he signed him and maybe jay cole wants to earn his respect in the game instead of using jay for it.
Last I checked kanye was still down wit jay so that’s obvious this is just gonna make 50 hate more
July 21st, 2009 at 1:57 am
Lets go Jay! Got my countdown timer rollin.
July 21st, 2009 at 7:05 am
Just wait and see people! yall just talking based on a rumor! LOOL! stupid fucks!
