Jay-Z - Song Cry appreciation

[DontEemTry]

On repeat, the CD of BIG's "Me and My bytch"
Watching Bonnie and Clyde, pretending to be that shyt
Empty gun in your hand saying, "Let me see that clip"
Shopping sprees, pull out your Visa quick
A nikka had very bad credit, you helped me lease that whip
You helped me get the keys to that V dot 6
We was so happy poor but when we got rich
That's when our signals got crossed, and we got flipped
Rather mine, I don't know what made me leave that shyt
Made me speed that quick, let me see - that's it
It was the cheese helped them bytches get amnesia quick

For all you aspiring emcees out there...notice how effortlessly he keeps that multi going without it sounding forced as fukk?

GOAT

i never liked this song at all. i like the sentiment, but something about his delivery. kinda plodding.

I agree, it was like Jigga was saying, LOOK I CAN BE DEEP! but the song is pretty good once you get past all that!

 

[Non Sequitur]

That Saab on BBS's, though...

So fukking effortless..

Guys like Eminem and Big L may be better at pulling them off consistenly, but I've yet to see them pull of something as smooth as that shyt without forcing extra syllables.

classic song for sure

except that they don't...that describes Talib circa 2000-2002. (which i don't mind cause Train of Thought and Quality are classic.)
