Did Jay-Z jack "yes!" from Marv Albert?

[Red Money]

Jay said it like Marv back in the day. Over time you start to question if Jay just repackaged stuff instead of created stuff.




Trilla Intro:
Ross: Shout out to Lil' Jay; shout out to Jay-Z
Jay-Z: Yes!


Hovi Baby:
Yes! yes! yep! Welcome to the... Jay-Z extravaganza


Crazy in love:
Yes!
It's so crazy right now
Most incredibly, it's ya girl, B (yes)
It's ya boy, Young
You ready?


Yes (Memphis Bleek 534 unreleased):
Yes!
It's the greatest
Yes!



I'm sure it's more examples. I'm a fan of 2000s jay, but I'm sure Jigga Warriors will say he shorted "yes yes y'all" to pay homage to hip hop and make it current

Jay gets influenced by things he reads and sees like the rest of us. No one said Jay is this incredible originator.

A question like this can only come from the mind of a toddler. OP do your parents know you are using this much screen time?

cause he saw the shyt, all this shyt
That's why they call him Hov, 'cause he came before all this shyt

So why does he get away with being called hovah when he ain't really originating?......even Lil Wayne/Magnolia Shorty invented the term Bling Bling/Bling.

 

[ThirdAct]

YES!

He said it himself, twice

 

[ISO]

Early Drake took the “yes!” and the introduction for the verse from Jay

 

[PHamm]

Jay a dikkridin fekket that loves the attention but I can't co sign this. Jay used to say yes while marvs was more of a yeshh

 

[jadillac]

I never equated the 2

I dunno bout that. Sounds damn near the same and jay doesn't have the strongest voice to give Marv weight to it, but it's very close imo.
