JAY-Z REGRETS MAKING “BIG PIMPIN”: ‘I CAN’T BELIEVE I SAID THAT’
SHA BE ALLAH

MAY 3, 2021

Even as arguably to be of the game’s most successful artists, Jay-Z still has some regrets about the decisions made in his career and more specifically, the songs that he offered up to the public early in his musical tenure. In an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Journal, Hov discusses how he regrets making his 1999 hit “Big Pimpin’ featuring UGK.

The song not only became an anthem that ushered in the 21st century, but also became Jigga’s most popular track, ending up on four different Billboard charts and catapulted Hov’s fourth LP to go triple platinum.

While talking to the Journal, Jay talked about his creative process , in which he is infamously known for not writing down his lyrics and just spitting them in the booth. While he says some his lyrics are “really profound”, he admitted that he wasn’t as proud of “Big Pimpin”.

“That’s the exception. It was like…I can’t believe I said that,” said Hov. “And kept saying it? What type of animal would say this sort of thing. Reading it is really harsh.”

Despite of the artist’s feelings about the smash hit, there’s no doubt that it helped him become a star and cemented his status as one of the music industry’s biggest power players.

When you get to the top, the currency is different.


The pressure comes from all sides to start conforming to the rules of propriety and respectability.

Yo gtfoh wit this shyt

I hate when nikkas make it to the top then try to slight the work they put in when they was on the climb

I kno damn well he felt great when they finished the song in the Stu and knew they had a hit on their hands

He coulda been like he’s grown or he was so immature but to say he regret it is sum pandering Hs imo

 

[Redwood]

Old news breh. I wonder what does he have to say about the rest of his discography though?

 

[Child_Of_God]

I never liked the song to be honest. The beat was also complete fukking trash.

Y’all nikkas can get mad all you want but it won’t change my opinion.

I thought that shyt was lame, just like Pimp. With that said this dude regrets Big Pimping versus Super Ugly "Condoms on the baby seat"

 

[Absolut]

What was embarrassing about it? Was your typical braggadocio rap over a great beat with a great feature

Jay is hobnobbing with the Sag Harbor Negroes now. He's trying to erase his less than "up to snuff" past.

He only brought it up because it's a popular song. That's how you know he's pandering and not his real most regretted verses as if he actually gives a fukk about that. How is Big Pimpin in particular the exception? He doesn't regret its success that's for damn sure
