Wait he did??!!?
yeah i cant fond the clip but i found an article about it

After discussing his lyrical motivation, Jay lamented the current state of hip-hop. “I don’t think people process music the same way [we used to],” he said. “Before, we used to listen to lyrics and then find out if the beat was hot later and then did the Wop.” In particular, he called out a line from MIMS’s “This is Why I’m Hot” for condemnation. “When a guy says ‘I could make a million saying nothing’ on a track, you know you’ve reached a bad place,” he said. “It’s way past salvaging. I’m going the other way. That’s why [my album] is the way it is.”

How he was not skilled.
Had no technical skillset worth a damn, no pedigree. Easily discernible he was not a real emcee at all.

while alternatively was probably one of the first systematic cop and blow discoveryzone payola records for that time. That lead to why shyt is even worse now.
Not to mention, just who was this nikka.

He was not no emcee of note from no where.

So why in the fukk was this song anywhere at all and it was the huffest.
