Jay Z Regrets Big Pimpin.......

[concise]

This isn't pandering. He's growing up. He has children and can now see a different perspective, especially the influence of certain types of messaging over time. There are any number of other rap artists who have felt the same about their content when they were younger.


If you can't respect that, your whole perspective is...

So what do you call people who were also his age and younger, also childless who saw this song for what it was when it came out?

 

[Harry B]

You old ass dudes - with teenage brains - are criticizing a 52 year old husband and father of two daughters for regretting that he was an a$$hole in his younger days?


c00n ass fools are on some "he's pandering to white people" like black people don't care about acting like a role model for your son and misogyny.

Pimp c had the best verse any way that's why he hates it

 

[Ripp]

Its corny because hov was talking the same type shyt in almost every other song... big pimpin just happens to be named big pimpin... he was on the same vibe in every song for the most part. Pimp/playa/fly/street shyt

Saying he regrets big pimpin is for the people that don't listen to music and just skim through it

Able to see nuance.


Sadly, too many people lack that ability.

“That’s the exception. It was like…I can’t believe I said that,” said Hov. “And kept saying it? What type of animal would say this sort of thing."

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

“And kept saying it? What type of animal would say this sort of thing. Reading it is really harsh.”

So using that logic he feels other rappers making those type of lyrics animals too huh

nikka going out sad

 

[Piff Huxtable]

Sweet Jones made Jay an afterthought anyway

 

[Edub]

I never liked the song to be honest. The beat was also complete fukking trash.

Y’all nikkas can get mad all you want but it won’t change my opinion.

Shyt was catchy, that’s it, and at a time where anything he did like that would have went to the moon, which it did.....best thing about that track is Pimp C, otherwise it can be flushed imo

 

[Womb Raider]

Cheat on Beyoncé with two women and regret making Big Pimpin 15 years before that brehs

 

[RennisDeynolds]

Hedge Fund Hov said "I. Will. NOT. Be. Cancelled"

Guy has two daughters now, that could have changed his perspective. More than likely those corporate ties are growing and they need him to get ahead of these things

 

[patscorpio]

a man who wrote Regrets should follow it as such lol

personally it was one of the few songs i could tolerate on that album..i have HS memories attached to it

 

[The Mad Titan]

Bun B killed him on that track anyway.

 

[god shamgod]

Song sucks

 

[JerseyBoy23]

Didn't he only just stop performing it?
