Allen Iverson "Jewelz"-40 Bars Appreciation Thread

[ISO]

With A.I. officially retiring I felt it was appropriate . This is the best track I heard by a ball player, Iverson spit that grimy shyt over that gutter beat
This nikka was the GOAT in my childhood he brought so much hip hop to the NBA


"You went Platinum with a ghost writer
So in the game you won, you cheated"

Possible diss to ?

"You man enough to pull a gun, be man enough to squeeze it"

"Bad News (Newport News, VA) home of the Dynasty Raiders
One luv to the ol school nikkas
They in the jail tryin to raise us
Even the ones that tried to blaze us
But couldn't even graze us
See dem bytch azz nikkas y'all killin don't amaze us
Y'all slobbin I'm spittin wit a mouth full of rage"

"Come to me with fakkit tendencies
You'll be sleeping where the maggots be"

"This type of murder don't need no hook
Just 40 fukking bars from the mouth of a crook"

Damn, y'all got no love for Iverson?

40 Bars beat was real hot. I remember they used it for The Answer IV Reebok commercial before the song was out. Iverson's flow was just real awkward over that track. I'll play the instrumental all day though!

A.I. had David Stern like when this track came out.
But to Iverson with the "come at me with fakkit tendencies and you'll be sleeping where the maggots be" line.

You kinda fukked up some of the lyrics though.

Stern almost had a heart attack when he heard this shyt
