(threat)


The soul of a hustler i really ran the street
I CEO's mine
That marketing plan was me
And no i ain't get shot up a whole bunch of times
Or make up shit in a whole bunch of lines
And i ain't animated, like say a, Busta Rhymes
But the real shit you get when you bust down my lines
Add that to the fact i went plat a bunch of times
Times that by my influence
On pop culutre
(What more can i say)


I supposed to be number one on everybodys list
We'll see what happens when i no longer exist
Fuck this
(What more can I say)


The music business hate me
Cause the industry ain't make me
Hustlers and boosters embrace me
And the music i be makin
I dump down for my audience
And double my dollars
They criticize me for it
Yet they all yell "Holla"
(Moment of Clarity)


If skills sold
Truth be told
I'd probably be
Lyricly
Talib Kweli
Truthfully
I wanna rhyme like Common Sense
(But i did five Mil)
I ain't been rhymin like Common Sense
When your sense got that much in common
And you been hustlin since
Your inception
Fuck perception
Go with what makes sense
(Moment of Clarity)

'Cause like the brain is in my voice box, I speak my mind- Man Of The Night
^^One of my fave. shit

(If I should die) I'd tell Big they still hearin his songs
Runnin into and Pac and ask him where we went wrong?
They say life is miserable when you dealing in the physical form
Is everything that's invisible gone? I need 2 know
(If I Should Die)

But my mind's like a flower in bloom
Peep how my eyes just scower the room, I'm alert plus I payed the clerk
(Friend Or Foe 98)

I never seen a face like yours before
And I done been around some cute whores before
(I know what girls like)

It's hard not to kill niggas
It's like a full time job not to kill niggas, cant chill
The streets is watchin, when you froze yo arms
Niggas wan test you and yo gun goes warm
Cant get caught witcha feet up, gotta keep ya heat up
Sweet niggas runnin round swearin shit is sweater
Once you tag lane the game is follow the leader
Everybody wanna peice of ya scrilla
So you gotta keep it realer...kidnap niggas wanna steal ya
Broke niggas dont want no cash they just wanna kill ya
(Streets Is Watching)

I'm from a place, where the church is the, flakiest
And niggas been prayin 2 GOD so long that they, atheist
Where you cant put your vest away, and say you'll wear it tomarrow
Cuz a day after we'll be saying 'damn, i was just wit him yesterday'
(Where I'm From)

"broker than todd bridges,richer than bill cosby"

"go against jigga ya ass is dense/im about a dollar, what the fuck is 50 cents?/"

Well I know its Jay Z's but I just have to throw in a line from Kanye.
Manyiose colored benz, I push miracal whips.
I would have to take up 30 posts to put all the ill shit he says. The man is a fuckin genious. Sheit hes so ill he was throwin spanish in on 99 problems. "If you grew up with hos in your zapatos" zapatos-shoes.

His best lines are the ones he stole from Big, Pac, Nas, Big L, Snoop, and Lil Wayne. LoL! :eek:

See list: http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244&page=2

But let's break this down....

Big L-His cousin. Why would Jay bite from his cousin?
Pac- Got ate by Jay and Biggie in a freestyle.
Nas- Let's not start on how many lines NAS bit from JAY-Z!
Big- I'll give you that one...
Snoop and Lil Wayne- LMFAO! He ghostwrites for Snoop and probably for Lil' Wayne....

List the lines Nas "stole" from JZ please.

Also, who cares if they're friends, brother, cousins, or whether they got beat in freestyles or not. The bottom-line is he bites rhymes.

yeh he sure does bite a lot...

my favorite jay-z line though gots to be

"no lie, jus know i chose my own fate, i drove by the fork in the road and went straight" ~ Renegade

^its not his best, but its my favorite, its jus wows me every time i hear that line

when jay bites (which is only from big and pac those others were very far apart or common) its so fuckin obvious it cant be called biting he bites on the ever popular pac and off big who had a diamond selling album u think he doesnt expect u to know?

My infatuation with autos led to autos gettin sprayed
Houses gettin broken in, quarters gettin trayed
Bricks gettin chopped, mom's pots gettin used
One thrown in that water, try the soda if there's two - Vol 3. Theres been a mur

Expensive shoes worn, Louis Vuitton seats, roof gone
Coke cheap, MY FACE IS LIKE A COUPON - Vol 3 . Theres been a murder

Fuck with us, walk through the ghetto, see the place that corrupted us
Learn why we buck at the guys that come up with us
Ain't enough bucks for us to split in this shit - Vol 3. Theres been a murder

I remove your roof nigga let the sun shine in
Thirty-eight waist, enough to put one nine in
Really a thirty-six without the gun I'm thin
but when the gat is tucked, I'm fat as fuck
Ignorant bastard, I'm takin it back to day one
No kids, but trust me I know how to raise a gun
For niggaz that think I spend my days in the sun
well here's the shock of your life, the glock not the mic
Vol 3 . come and get me

Imagine, bein skinny growin up around broader cats
The quiet assassin demeanor of them college cats
until I got a gat and loudly start poppin back
Round the way, niggaz called me Bobby Bouchete
Vol 3. Come and get me
I'm like U-Haul; every bitch movin I fuck
You move slut, I gotta put two in your butt
I'm everything: the when's, why's, who's, and what Vol 3. Some like it hot

And one of the best verses from jay-z is?
____________________________________

Thirty-eight revolve like the sun round the Earth
Try to play hard get you found round the dirt
Six shell casings found round your shirt
in surround sound from the hearse
Jigga Man, trigger man, hit your man up
Six shots, hit the pole, hit the van up
Kidnap grown folks get them grands up Vol 3 . Some like it hot

First I see a flash of light, then on my own /
I hear nothing, the smell of fire and brimstone /
I feel a hundred arms grabbin' me, falling down a hole /
It it because there's no gravity? My body leaves my soul /
Is the devil mad at me? Will I go to hell? /
Or is it heaven that awaits me? It's too early to tell /
Is it now that I'ma be judged? Will I face thee? /
Bright tunnels, warm lights, will embrace me /
The force takes me, like I'm moving through high winds /
See myself in baby carriages, relatives, friends /
Things manifest, Kings from every planet rest here /
Beams of light, hear the voice of the NASareth near /

Ohh wait, Jay-Z could NEVER spit an ILL mother fucking verse like this. hahahahaha :kiss:

I saw it somewhere else on here:

"Like Short sleeves I bare arms."
-- Brooklyn's Finest w/Notorious B I G

"A tax write off, you aint seen money in ya life/
When it comes to this cheese y'all like three blind mice"-Politics As Usual

I remove your roof nigga let the sun shine in
Thirty-eight waist, enough to put one nine in
Really a thirty-six without the gun I'm thin
but when the gat is tucked, I'm fat as fuck
Ignorant bastard, I'm takin it back to day one
No kids, but trust me I know how to raise a gun
For niggaz that think I spend my days in the sun
well here's the shock of your life, the glock not the mic
Vol 3 . come and get me

Imagine, bein skinny growin up around broader cats
The quiet assassin demeanor of them college cats
until I got a gat and loudly start poppin back
Round the way, niggaz called me Bobby Bouchete
Vol 3. Come and get me


Hell yea, that was some hot shit.

"Jigga the shit, even when he rhyme in third person
Hova the God, I should be rappin with turban
Haters can't disturb him, waiters can't serve him
Mike Jordan of rap - outside J workin
Now watch how quickly I drop 50"

Hova Song (Intro)

Damn I get chills when I hear that verse.

"Who ever thought young Shawn Carter would change the game?
Used to rap to the raindrops off my window pane
Duckin the plain cops, pushin indo and 'caine
At the kitchen table late night, no pen, just my brain"

Hova Song (Outro)

"I made it so, you could say Marcy and it was all good
I ain't crossover I brought the suburbs to the hood
Made em relate to your struggle, told em bout your hustle
Went on MTV with do-rags, I made them love you
You know normally them people wouldn't be fuckin witchu
Til I made em understand why you do what you do
I expected to hear, 'Jay, if it wasn't for you..'
But instead, all I hear is buzzin in your crew"

Come and Get Me

"I'm from the M-to-the-A-baby-R-C-Y
So it's hard for me to let the larceny die
Niggaz see me in the streets with no bodyguards
just two big guns that'll body your squad
Could niggaz be scheamin on me? Probably are
Think Jigga's a joke nigga? Hardy har
I spit Brook-Brook-Brooklyn every time I bust
Radio's gotta play me though I cuss too much
Magazine said I'm shallow, I never learned to swim
Still they put me on they cover cause I earn for them
Soon as I sell too much, watch them turn on him
cause that seem to be the shit that'll earn for them
I spit that murder-murder-murderous everytime a verbalist
iller than Verbal Kint is or O-Dog in "Menace"
I'm ill, start to finish, I rip apart contenders
I'm hot.. hehehehe.."

So Ghetto

"Yo..
Yo show closer, J-to-the-A-Y-Hovah
Place shutter down, who the fuck'll fuck around?
Game spitter, Range sitter, Bentley driver nigga
Keep a full clip I have to empty out on niggaz
Hoe bagger, no slacker, get this shit jumpin
like eight blacks, fo' crackers, get yo' ass jumped
Crist' sipper, six dipper, wrist glitter nigga
Gat buster, ass toucher.. clit licker
Go against Jigga yo' ass is dense
I'm about a dollar, what the fuck is 50 Cents?
Hot shit, kick a nigga, turn these mics out
My jewelry so bright you can turn these lights out
Hovah's like Noah keep two in the truck
I'm like U-Haul; every bitch movin I fuck
You move slut, I gotta put two in your butt
I'm everything: the when's, why's, who's, and what
Nigga what?"

It's Hot (Some Like it Hot)

Mic Geronimo f/ Ja Rule, Jay-Z, DMX (ohhla.com)

Jay-Z:

Yeah, fresh on the scene with the fucking next niggas demeanor /
You know my work I bless and press more skirts then the cleaners /
I'm damn relaxed cause you cats can't stress the G /
Ain't enough jump in 'em to make you high enough to test me /
Gone, niggas is moistee like Duncan Hienz /
Choice when I'm voicing my poise I got poison lines /
So flame on, I turn my game on, the expert /
Niggas get chills when you hear my name on the network /
Fuck what you niggas kickin on the MIC /
You chicken like you don't know what an ass whippin feels like /
I'm living flashbacks, I blaze niggas split like ass cracks /
It's the J to the A, smoother than Jaz tracks / Yea
So when I'm browsing through your housing projects /
Niggas get Five Thousand shit is rough /
Time to close I hit you with 16 of those /
Next time maybe more, but who the fuck knows? /
