lmfao. i'm glad i've never heard this song before. that was straight garbage. it sounds like everyone in the studio was walking with a cane and catching matinees and shyt.
the analogy/metaphor with the bees was nice....sound like some Canibus line
nas subtle jab at the end of his verse tho
'but im the best to ever DO IT'
then jay comes on soundin

Hip-hop, started out in the park
We used to do it to avoid the Narcs
I used to do it so the homeboy Clark can get the fukk off my back while I knocked off these packs
I used to rap to impress my friends
The past of time when I was gettin it in
Just so happens Im so illegal with the pen, they aint want me to do anything illegal again
I lost a lot of dawgs to these streets
I got Grammy awards on these beats
^^hiphop clearly saved his life
Thank God for Cool Herc
Without this shyt I probably wouldve got murked
Shout outs to Grandmaster Flash and the cash
And even Jaz bum ass
^^only an honest mcee would bring up jaz. he will never forget who put him on. he cant take that away from jaz.
Hip hop helped me wash my rocks
These other rappers couldnt wash my socks
Thats why I took the number one slot
The realest shyt in rap comes from my voice box
Lord knows when I was on my clock
I probably never wouldve stopped
Thank God for hip-hop
once again, yall hate on mr. carter for keepin it 150.
you complain when he spits diamond and bentley raps. but when he keeps it real. you cry and say it isnt lyrical enough.
here's the thing. the title of the song is "I DO IT FOR HIPHOP"
as a MCEE you cant take that to a few places. you can get all lyrical, double entendre -ish, or you can tell a story about what hiphop has done for you or why you do it for hiphop and not the fancy things you have.
Luda addressed the later. Nas was somewhat off topic early in his verse then he brought it back around towards the end and tied it all together.
jayZ, actually stayed on topic and was honest. and yall still mad. wow. i mean he started off with the MCshan style, to keep it extra hiphop for you. but that wasnt enough. he told a story about how it started and the reason why it started which was the same thing that saved him. but yall probably dont understand that history. it started to keep the youth from doing bad, doing dirt, fighting and harming one another. this same thing gave jigga a chance to stop doing dirt and stop ducking cops and robbers. and yall mad at the dude's verse.

the man is as humble as a rapper can be on a song and this is what yall do. go into full hater mode.
