Dope jay-z lines that were actually wack as fukk in retrospect

[King Biko]

"Dikembe Mutombo of this rap shyt"

Aging defensive role player of rap?

Sounds about right now lol

 

[King Biko]

"I pity, the fool with jewels like Mr. T"

that shyt is dope u trippin

 

[King Biko]

"Straight to the league I aint waiting for my knee to blow, yesterday i was NEEDING this dough..get it? I was needing this dough?"

i remember wen DP3 dropped nikkas was going crazy like that line was sick

that shyt is dope 2

 

[Populair]

"I sink this ball in ya hole, I'm TIGER WOODS." My God

 

[Mikael Blowpiff]

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"

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 "it ain't no Dead Presidents"

Remember the video for Frontin where Jay just looked old and awkward as fukk at that house party even though he's only a few years older than Pharrell?

 

[L&HH]

I jack, I rob, I sin, aww man, I'm Jackie Robinson.

ight I had to stop reading here, there's only a couple lines in this thread that are valid, some of the others were either A not that hot to begin with and others like this one are being taken out of context, you need to quote the entire group of lines with them, I mean its not some shyt but its also not whack
I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them
I jack, I rob, I sin
Aww man, I'm Jackie Robinson
'cept when I run base, I dodge the pen

Same with the Businessman line, if you just read it textual it aint all that but mixed in with the floe and delivery its a decent line

 

[L&HH]

Hold the fukk up...when did he say that awful shyt haha

precisely what Im talking about, nikkas just posting the entire bar(s) with it, alone it sounds wack but together it aint that bad of a line

 

[L&HH]

"I'm fresher than you all, so I don't have to pause
All of y'all can suck my balls through my draws"


"fukking insane, the fukk am I saying?
Not only am I fly, I'm fukking not playin(plane)"

I thought it was plain/plane or if its playin as well then..

Spoiler

Spoiler

dont even ask me how

 

[AbrahamLincolnPawgHunter]

you can pretty much make any line look wack if you throw it out there by itself...

"What's your handle I got mad MC heads upon a mantle
I got genuine MC skin sandals."

chancletas?

 

[Microfracture]

I knew a bunch of white people trippin over

Hov's the audio equivalent of braille


Typical rhyme that would sound wack if most rappers said it but got gassed because Hovi Hov Hov Jigga said it. Overwhelmingly wack line

Another one came on one of his best songs ever:

Jiggy Jigga lookin' gully in the joint
If yall nikkas aint talkin bout large money, whats the point?

You can't end a line with gully if the first part of it you refer to yourself as "Jiggy Jigga"

And finally...not really a line but just a product of Jay feelin' himself waaaay too much:

You can't drink Cristal on this one you gotta drink Cri-STALLLLLLLL

Like we're gonna slow this down cause you told us to drink Cri-STALL....get it? Stall? Stop? Slow down? So clever!

 

[L&HH]

to add to this thread tho, idk how this line was received at the time but
"Tell them ordinary Joes button up" got the (and yes I catch the sublim)

 

[Cladyclad]

"I'm not a businessman I'm a business...MAN"

A few people were when this came out but it just seemed really corny to me

Thats a dope line and a shot at Camron.

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

When Jew-Z said "stop with that childish shyt nikka I'm grown" on Takeover, it always bothered me a bit because it sounds like he says ******.

There's a couple of songs on Blueprint where he sounds like he is saying ****** instead of nikka.

 

[The Blind Man]

good dude, you know I love you cooked food

haha ive seen that a couple times on here now..

thats a jamican thing "love unna like cooked food"

just sayin....
