:laff: Jay has 1 album on that tip better than the clipse entire career

:usure:

which album is that??

Lord Willin, Hell Hath No Fury & Til The Casket Drops are all :huhldup:

let's keep in mind Jay-Z is the greatest imo. I just don't know when it comes to cocaine references.

and as far as Jay fathering Clipse's style, what does that make B.I.G?

CLIPSE for me...

They was much rawer and they only rapped about coke....

For some reason I never bought into jay-z's coke raps. he never seemed thoro to me... I like him when he's on some spittin' crazy skills shyt with springles of knowledge and life advice... That for me is the best jay...

Nah...I mean, he's not on it like it he was, years ago, but 'Reasonable Doubt' and 'In My Lifetime' are classic hustlers music, songs like 'Can I Live' and 'Dead Presidents II', 'Regrets', 'You Must Love Me', 'Streets Is Watching' personify the life...embody it completley, in a timeless manner, the music ages with you is the crazy part...I listen to 'Can I Live' now, and it's just different, I relate on a different level now...or the lines that used to just sound cool, now are eerie, give me chills. He set the tone for all that shyt, imo.

But, the Clipse brought their own, newer generation twist to it...see Jay spit all that shyt in a discreet/low key, 'classy' manner..it's harder to relate to then a Yo Gotti or Young Jeezy, Clipse brought those details and just straight grit to the music, they put the coke in the fore front of the music, where Jay kinda downplayed it and hid it from the audience...

But, 'Reasonable Doubt' is classic hustler music...I remember listening to 'Dead Presidents' smoking a blunt in my room at my moms house, when she was ot, dropping off $50's across the street, when i was 17 years old, and that music spoke to me like nothing else, people that weren't in it, don't hear it the same way.
