JAY Z SAYING ' WHAT YOU TRYING TO KICK KNOWLEDGE?' WAS A LOW POINT FOR HIP HOP

[spliz]

Yeah there was a point in time where it seemed like Nas was learning new things he was reading in books and felt obligated to rap about it

Name the songs. I'm talkin pre Stillmatic post IWW. Matter of fact. nikka wasn't sayin nothin different then the shyt he was sayin on songs like Deja Vu. If anything he was more positive overall but the nikka wasn't forcing "knowledge".

 

[spliz]

Every dope boy from the South came out with the "I'm not a rapper, I'm a hustler" motto soon after...



Jay helped kill lyrical NY Hip Hops influence...Then he didn't sign any spittas from his own city by design..

Genius when you think about it...Because the dirty little secret was that he WAS a emcee that cared about his craft and tried to rhyme like Common Sense...He just wanted to appear "above it all"...

The environment made it so you couldn't call guys like Master P wack..Because "numbers don't lie" and he was a "real hustler"...

It no doubt helped fuel the South's dominance and NY never recovered..

Been tellin nikkas this shyt for years. He also spawned that "I don't write my rhymes" bullshyt that they adopted as well that made it even worse.

nikkas wanna blame the south for rap but low key jigga man influenced the shyt...

aight lets not get crazy, there are always exceptions but when the South started "running rap", it did... into the fukkin ground. knocking beats >>>>> lyrical creativity, substance, originality = FALSE

and I grew up in the South so all the "biased" comments sure to follow

Jay wasn't the same after sauce money stopped writing for him

lol

Jay Z gives business advice on all of his albums but takes Ls on Ls in his business portfolio. fukk out of here. nikka better thank Beyonce for marrying his humpback whale ass. As the years pass by, Jay Z will be exposed more and more as the fraud he is as a musician and human being.

More that the older he and Nas get people will see how much better Nas is. Nas is the best emcee from his generation..barnone..sellout too tho

Reading this thread it really shows me how much more intilectually inferior nas fans are to Jay fans...

Never seen so much smartdumb in contrast to real wisdom as I've seen in this thread where nas stans unsuccessfully trying to analyze this line while jay fans actually approaching this with common sense

Nas is my dude but when I would hear him say shyt like" the rosseta stone was stolen like Chicago was" to me it just sounded like he was reading a book on Egypt and was hype to rhyme about it instead of it being his natural thoughts

And as we all know nas' interviews are never as profound as his lyrics which may be another indication that he forced knowledge in his lyrics

I hope I didn't get that lyric above wrong because I still don't know what Nas meant by that lol

Wait am I mad cuz I don't understand Nas lyrics

 

[Frida Giezman]

Or when he says shyt like the Galaxy is enchanting beyond galileo's understanding lol

Beautiful song though

RIP ms. Jones

Jay was right, and Nas lost...that was the point

When did that stop? I didn't realize he had ghostwriters, didn't know be was one of them.
