nikka have you heard the song:what:

I copied the shyt form a lyric site, so it's possible there are a few inaccuracies, but I'm pretty sure it's on point for the most part. I'm not about to manually type out a whole damn song. shyt was enough work adding my commentary to the verses I copied and pasted. Furthermore, if you can't understand that the song is a backhanded compliment, then I don't know what to tell you. It's not like it's some super secret text you gotta decode to see what I'm talking about.

one wrong word can take a whole line out of context which makes your entire post questionable if you ask me.

The song A Star is Born is just one long ass backhanded compliment:mjlol: If you've been listening to Jay since the beginning, then you know he's the undisputed king of subliminals. But the audacity to go at the entire industry under disguise of giving them props is just genius and :troll: at the same time. An then the nikka is like "Clap for em":mjlol: Jay lightweight punked out all the top dogs in the rap game with this shyt.


I seen Mase do it, I seen 'Ye do it
X came through, caught lighter fluid
Still I came through it, clap for 'em
But I'm the blueprint, I'm like the map for 'em

Basically Jay is saying, they were cool and all, but I'm the standard. He literally said he was the blueprint and map for these nikkas to be successful :skip:

I dropped another classic, made Puff pass it,
Nobody could touch Puff back when Puff had it



Backhanded compliment that's saying Puff doesn't have it anymore:takedat:

Wayne scorchin, I'll applaud him
If he keep goin, pass the torch to him


Jay is pretty much telling Wayne that he hasn't done enough to be recognized right now. He told the nikka that he would applaud him if he kept it going.

50 came through, like hurricanes do
I thought I finished his ass at Summerjam Too


Jay is displaying ultimate arrogance right here. He on some, I thought I finished this nikka shyt. He pretty much giving him props because he was fortunate enough to survive Jay's wrath.:lolbron:

I had the Illmatic, on bootleg
The shyt was so ahead, thought we was all dead


Very slick way of saying I don't respect you enough to pay for your shyt.:scust:

Wayne did a milli, 50 did a milli
'Ye too but what Em did was silly
The white boy blossomed after Dre endorsed him
His flow on "Renegade," fukkin awesome, applaud him


He's saying that Eminem wouldn't be shyt without the Dre co-sign.:pachaha:

Hey, Snoop Dogg did, Nelly came down
Facemob kept the ghetto for the H-Town


Didn't see anything condescending in these bars:yeshrug:

Luda moved digits after he moved bytches

Very slick double entendre that's saying Luda only sold records cause he catered to females, but is also referring to the song "Move bytch Get Out the Way"

Drake's up next, see what he do wit it

Basically what he said for Wayne, on some, you hot now, but lets see if you can stay hot.:heh:

Rule had a run, couple movie parts


Diminishing Ja Rules run by focusing the attention on his movie parts and not the music.

T.I. literally wanted to shoot up the charts


Another double entendre referring to T.I.'s gun case, and his desire to top the charts. Lost in the joke is the fact that he didn't give T.I. any props at all.:mjlol:

Waddup Jeezy? What it do
Ya remind me of us in early '92


This is a thinly veiled attempt for Jay to give props to himself under the guise of giving props to Jeezy.:steviej:

OutKast landed, 3 Thou' was ill
Like a male version, of Lauryn Hill


This nikka Jay compared 3 Thou to a girl:wow:

Mobb Deep (Shook) it, but Prodigy took it
a lil' too far, can't fukk wit Brooklyn


Not really slick at all, just a straight up shot at Mobb Deep.:umad:

Wu-Tang gangbanged it, Meth ate
Rae took on the date with the Purp' Tape
Passed on to Ason and then Ghostface
They had a hell of a run, standing ova- aaaaaaaay!


Basically saying the Wu needed a gang of nikkas to be successful.:mjpls:

And lets not forget that Jay had a third verse after these two that gave himself props.
You're right in theory but some of your commentary were reaches. But overall that's how i've always viewed the song

Are we absolutely certain about this :heh:

Somewhat.


I think LL being more out in the open with it makes him a lil more sincere.I can deal with a cat like LL because he wears it on his sleeve.You'll know where u stand with him.


Jay is sneaky, tho.The narcissism is deeply entrenched in dude.He never got girls because of his looks.He has to compensate in order to get over his insecurities.That shyt can drive a man mad.

It's some deeper shyt with Jay

Both of ya'll responded with the same thing almost at same time :russ:

I haven't heard any of games recent albums so I don't know if he still name drops like that

Always felt Games name dropping stigma was overstated though
Yea Jesus piece was filled with it. As was his last album(year of the wolf I think)
