I never understood the hate Jay got on this track. He took it back with the flow and told why he loved hip hop. Sometimes Jay cant win for losing.

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. :snoop:

READ



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

LMAO, you tryna break it down like his verse went over peoples heads. None of that was necessary dude, the shyt was one of the most simple straight forward verses Jay ever spit. I dont think there is a hip-hop fan alive who didn't catch the Shan line/flow. I get that its a throwback, but that dont make it hot. Seriously, you get Jay on a song you hoping for a "Never Let Me Down" feature, you aint hoping for a MC Shan impersonation. And I was actually hyped for this track too.

i'll say it again. what yall are looking for was a dumb idea to begin with. Jay is a story teller at his best. even when he gets lyrical. the truth was, there was no room for him to really get lyrical on this joint. he had to tell it like it was. what did hiphop do for him. since the song is I do it for hiphop. he's like, hiphop did it for me. thank you hiphop. very good verse. you're just mad he didnt spazz out and the beat wasnt some uptempo craziness where we could all go ham about. its a very good verse. stays on topic, gets his point across. end of discussion.

The track was corny to begin with.

The whole album was corny. This is when Luda started trying to make conceptual shyt. He's mad wack at that. And that's why nobody gave a fukk about this song.

I love a good jay troll thread...but this one was poorly executed

I always thought this song was awful from everyone involved...it's a boring ass beat...Nas sounds like he's half asleep...Jay's attempt to do the MC Shan flow just came off awkward and bad...and I've just never been a Luda fan so it was Luda being annoying Luda as usual to me

blah track from all involved

I think the ones with minds that can go beyond monotone flows and simple wordplay, with respect for the history of hiphop can appreciate Jays verse. Doing his early 80s hiphop in the park interpretation and smoothly converging to a hybrid of his normal style and some 80s shyt with slow flow and the strong echoes.
Every single bar is a metaphor to how hiphop helped Jay, I refuse to believe that these dudes actually listen to any other music than their favorite rappers.

Nas stans are always on their "he fell of" "I miss the old" etc, ol non-evolving, very static and non dynamic brain ass nikkas.
