50 vs Jay :Who had the Better Lesbian mother line....

[QuintessentialMan]

"Mama had four kids, but she's a lesbian / Had to pretend so long that she's a thespian / Had to hide in the closet, so she medicate / Society shame and the pain was too much to take."


Growing up I was confused my mamma kissin a girl/ confusion occurs growing up in a cold world/ daddy aint around prolly out committing felonies//my favorite rapper used to say check check out m melody


Both rappers take a stab at airing out personal family details to the backdrop of a rough society. Who pulled it off the best......personally I like the simplicity of 50's delivery. His line is more memorable and heartfelt to me.

50 its not even close

 

[Morose Polymath]

You goofy nikkas are running out of shyt to talk about

 

[The Exchanges]

Probably jay z since it went into more detail.

It provokes more thought about being homosexual during that time.


50 touched on it as well but was mostly about what type of home and environment he grew up in.

50 easily. It was a signature line on a signature song on a signature album. Fit perfectly within the context of the arrangement. Just naturally flowed. Effortlessly dropped a personal gem, and you could still dance to it.

A greater display of overall musicality, IMO.

50 put his foot in that Game album. His execution of arrangements and hooks and lyric delivery during that time was top notch.

Agreed.
That was peak 50.
He would have made several more HITS with game.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

I like both but 50's line makes me emotional.

@QuintessentialMan

50 low key prob thinks like, "Yeah, I helped fukk that one up." Even at this stage, he coulda coat-tailed Game. As crazy as that sounds...

 

[Cryptocurrency Scarface]

my favourite rapper used to sing "check check out my melody" was non sequitur

whereas jay stayed consistent but 50's line was more impactful

 

[SAINT]

50 easily! without any hesitation

 

[lurkinlikeamf9]

50 made a line that brought you into his home while he eating cereal in his superman drawers seeing something that wasn't normal and hard to make sense of as a child

 

[letti cook]

50's line is iconic...perfect way to jump that song off...that whole got damn verse is

then Styles and Jada went and ruined it for me cause all I can hear now is "you been p*ssy since that sheepskin in 5th grade nikka...nikkas took ya bike cause you was p*ssy"...

 

[greenvale]

boutta listen to hate it or love it right now

I think there's another point that reinforces 50's lines as more powerful: the time, and era. Rappers in 2005 touched in subjects nowere near close as sexuality of themselves or family members... we live in a more "open" era to these topics, but adding what you said, with the time that it was said, it made it even better... back then people was confused as fukk, while today praises jay for doing it

plus it was on one of the hottest songs of that year..the first line to a classic, hit record
