What do you mean, idiots would be better etc if cars and jewelry didn't exist? :jbhmm:

Stupid useless stuff to waste money on (while the corporate world cashes in and laughs)

Just like junk food and drugs is stupid stuff to destroy your health with (while the corporate world cashes in and laughs)

Pac with Hennessy, Versace, Ross with Aston Martin, Nelly with grills and air force 1's etc

While the oh-so-modern US didn't even have a real health insurance policy for their entire population...yeah buy and eat your poison brehs

What's wrong with expensive cars and jewelry if you can afford it?

It's poison for idiots, just like junk food, drugs and alcohol

it's no problem at all for jay-z. but given the amount of people he influences, it's not good. the average "imaginary player" who lives check to check need not be trying to keep up with the lifestyle of your jay-z obviously.

I can never definitively say who had the better verse between hov and beans. like beans set it up perfect for hov to finish off the song. both verses are classic tho.
"Whole squad get it down like this
Whole squad buyin rounds of Cris'
Whole squad got they crowns on wrist
Whole squad got a pound to twist
Whole squad got a pound to spit, in case a clown wanna flip
Mac never slip in the club
Told y'all nikkas four-fifth in the club
If a nikka wanna draw then the blood it can drip in the club
You know how nikkas get in the club
shyt you know how I be, all high in V.I.P
Rolling up to B.I.G. (bay-bay)
nikkas be all liquored up, talkin shyt
'til they man gotta come and pick 'em up
Got bytches in the back bouncin to "Jigga What"
You got your hands up and I ain't even stick y'all up"

vs.

"Jay-Z's that deal, with Sigs in the field
Never fear for war, hug, squeeze that steel
fukk, you gotta a flow that's cool with me
You got a little dough that cool with me
You got a little cars, little jewelries
But none of y'all motherfukkers could fool with me
You know the wrist frostbit minus two degrees
Bout as blue as the sea the way I manuever the V
Hat cocked can't see his eyes, who could it be?
With that new blue Yankee on, who but me?
nikkas shipped two million, then I blew to three
Then I skated to four, 'fore I went on tour
I came back and it's plain, y'all nikkas ain't rappin the same
fukk the flow, y'all jackin our slang
I seen the same shyt happen to Kane
Three cuts in your eyebrows tryin to wild out
The game is ours, we'll never foul out
Y'all just better hope we gracefully bow out"

I can't choose either :damn:

People who get ice before health insurance would are doomed no matter what.

People from educated families rarely have these problems. Ice and whatever is not the problem, people are stupid and will do stupid shyt no matter if ice exists or not.

It can also serve as a motivator, a lot of (most?) people who grind hard do it to buy shyt. Whether it's art, ice, clothes, boats, apartments, cars, vacations and on. I don't understand male jewelry, but I understand that people like to buy nice shyt.

I remember when it first dropped and we heard Sigel's verse, everyone was like (Jay what you gonna do) and then Jay comes and bodies that sh!t like nothing. Amil was good for hooks, she had that sexy unique voice. But her rapping I would only take so much. I always felt like Amil was Jay trying to make a New Foxy and Lil Kim and she just didn't have the skills even with his bars, lol.
