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

[get these nets]

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

He's been making songs and dropping features with Bs Hs and drug dealing references for a long time. Still makes them.

The running joke is that he sold drugs for 10 years, and rapped about selling drugs for 20+ years.

His rebrand is about 10 years too late to be taken seriously.

"Wanna give me jail time and a fine? Fine, let me commit a real crime. Might buy a kilo for Chief Keef, out of spite, I just might flood these streets"

I remember when the Jackie Robinson film dropped. Person handling the marketing for the film got the bright idea to feature a Jay Z verse in the tv spot

"I jack, I rob, I sin
but when I run base, I dodge the pen"

Thought it was poor taste/bad judgement to use those lines in a promo for a film about a Black man who meant so much for a generation of people.

Tryna PR the cancel before the cancel is even attempted.

Hov is playing chess while we are playing checkers. This is why I'd take the dinner with him over that $50K any day



How many more times will he tell us he is a POS before we start believing him?

When you wave-hop, you'll often do things to fit in and regret

That verse was so out of place for his style



But nobody listens to the song for Jay or Bun
Just facts




Since he's apologizing and trying to sanitize, he needs to talk about the verse in Monster

JAY-Z REGRETS MAKING “BIG PIMPIN”: ‘I CAN’T BELIEVE I SAID THAT’
SHA BE ALLAH

MAY 3, 2021

Even as arguably to be of the game’s most successful artists, Jay-Z still has some regrets about the decisions made in his career and more specifically, the songs that he offered up to the public early in his musical tenure. In an exclusive interview with the Wall Street Journal, Hov discusses how he regrets making his 1999 hit “Big Pimpin’ featuring UGK.

The song not only became an anthem that ushered in the 21st century, but also became Jigga’s most popular track, ending up on four different Billboard charts and catapulted Hov’s fourth LP to go triple platinum.

While talking to the Journal, Jay talked about his creative process , in which he is infamously known for not writing down his lyrics and just spitting them in the booth. While he says some his lyrics are “really profound”, he admitted that he wasn’t as proud of “Big Pimpin”.

“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. Reading it is really harsh.”

Despite of the artist’s feelings about the smash hit, there’s no doubt that it helped him become a star and cemented his status as one of the music industry’s biggest power players.

..…....….....

When you get to the top, the currency is different.


The pressure comes from all sides to start conforming to the rules of propriety and respectability.

Because he ended up the opposite of everything he said in the song.

Wave rider regrets riding waves.

Stay in your lane simp hov. Was it pimping or bags and pumps. I didn't know women high fashion until I encountered Jay verses. Big simping spending cheese

Plus this is what happens when you have daughters.

he doesn't regret riding waves, he's too old for that lifestyle and people see him in a different light now which makes the young jay look bad.

If anything it makes him now look like a fool. All these real street nikkas got podcast and multiple investments and millions of young black men died or in jail over some fantasy type shyt their idols don't even live

I know i’m just saying its insane to turn down a guaranteed $50K go have a meal with Jay-Z when all he’s gonna do is talk about how great he is and probably grill you to do the same.


He did it to Kevin Hart the first time they met

Jay really thinks his fans are idiots

Apparently this article is over 10 years old. Source must be struggling

I love these threads where posters see proof but will continue to ignore it

This happens so much on the coli and internet in general, the truth could be posted right there for anyone to see but people conveniently ignore it

Yo gtfoh wit this shyt

I hate when nikkas make it to the top then try to slight the work they put in when they was on the climb

I kno damn well he felt great when they finished the song in the Stu and knew they had a hit on their hands

He coulda been like he’s grown or he was so immature but to say he regret it is sum pandering Hs imo

Not to mention other people are eating off this song as well it is feeding families. Pimp C kids will probably always be good because of this song. Comes on the pop station everyday. Why dont Jay forfeit his checks from this song and stop performing it then. Lying piece of shyt

If you think about it, Beyonce decided to have dinner with Jay-Z for the rest of her life.

 

[jackswstd]

You were a different person at the time, why regret it? These rappers think the way they spoke about women is the reason some dudes treat women like shyt.

 

[UserNameless]

whether he says it now or ten years ago don't matter.
he was acting like was 18/20 when he made it...he was about 35

I was literally about to post the same thing ! And he still drops little dope boy references in his raps . Homeboy needs to FOH .

I believe Jay Z owns his catalogue outright. When he pulls these "songs I regret" off of revenue generating platforms, then there will be some truth behind these public relation words.

Until then, it sounds good and provides him some cover from criticism but it's hollow.

When the Beastie Boys rebranded into new age,vegan,spiritual, earth day types they tried to distance themselves from their License to Ill lyrics and image also.
I get it.
