I never understood how people let him get away with the Jackie Robinson line.

The Man name is Rob-in-"SON" not "SIN or SEN"

The most forced rap line I have ever heard ever.

Dodge the "PEN" like Jackie Robin "SEN" like really nikka really aahhh but its dope Jayz said it, and there are a host of more forced square peg forced into a cirlce rhymes. I guess that is proof that nikka doesn't write his rhymes.

the 'son' in Jackie Robinson is not pronounced 'son'

His verse on Frontin almost makes me physically sick. Honestly the laziest I've ever heard him. Wasn't even worth the feature. 8 bars of zzzzzzzzz.

"I would act all nonchalant in front of a audi-annnnce" :snooze:

It's funny tho'... cause by then everything he said was branded hot just cause he said it. And even tho' he was my nikka, I always questioned how gullible people were bein' about some of his verses. Nowadays opinion on him has changed so much, he could spit some straight thorough shyt and some niqqas would still be like :childplease: "it ain't no Dead Presidents" :laugh:

Can't believe cats is really hating on the Frontin' verse, I thought it was good, and fit the song perfectly... :ld:

Yeah.

Like it's to be expected in every jay-z threads, nikkas are going out of their way just for daps and giggles.

Some of the lines posted are valid, dont get me wrong. But some dudes are clearly posting shyt just to post em :manny:

guess what, a lot of lines taken out of their context so..


:leostare: carry on.
Aint nobody got time for that :huhldup:

Jay will never live down the "flutes" line. I actually went searching to see if there was a group called "The Flutes" and they sampled the part of the intro where Guru brings in the choir but no luck. There weren't even flutes in the obscure song that he sampled.

:ehh: i thot it was kinda ill

actually, what does he mean by 'i dodge the pen' in that line? what pen was jackie not dodgin

I always figured the bullpen. I assumed he meant after runnin the bases for a run u normally celebrate with ur teammates and that he was tryna say u go celebrate with whoever's in the bullpen but i would think it's the dugout thats the first place he'd run to. I dont like baseball though so its whatever. If you don't overthink it it's dope
